I think someone missed the irony of saying they will return to the studio in two months and then doing a piece on how reopening is irresponsible and cases are spiking in the face of the Delta variant...

the most Jon Oliver thing ever is to simply gloss over 'oh yea Cuomo is a sexual predator and isn't going anywhere' to instead spend his opening segment being outraged that those dang Russians weren't 'really' banned. Who gives a poo poo about that, why would he even spend any time making sure 'banned countries get a clearer asterisk'?

Maybe they did that because all of the facts of the Russian Olympic Committee thing are known, and they're not even really in dispute.

Conversely, the sexual harassment scandal involving the governor is still developing. The AG report that put it back in the news came out just a week or so ago. There's a lot we still don't know, and we'll probably see more accusers, maybe a lot of them, come forward. There is plenty of time to let the story develop before covering it in earnest. It's just not ripe yet.

Didn't turn off the show because of a 30 second skit, I'm just sick of hearing that VA in every animated property on media. Dude is a one-trick pony and it's not even a good trick. Some recurring bits are hits, this one was a miss for me.

Jon Benjamin can do other voices* but he's stuck with the problem that popular voice actors can run into where they're just cast to do the same thing over and over again. He has the added issue that the voice people like is basically his normal speaking tone.



*For example here's Benjamin as Jimmy Junior on the show Bob's Burgers.

My only takeaway from last week’s episode is that I really respect Tamron Hall for turning her entering a new decade crisis with aplomb, I just turned 30 and I’m inches away from a meltdown, she’s 50 (Fifty!) and owning it

Mad props, Tamron

I appreciated the return of the awkward "should we laugh at that?" response to the Michael Jackson joke and then it coming back amazingly for "lowrider bell bottoms."

Also the pumpkin spice gag gave me a massive laugh I really needed.

The lobster loving went on way too long. I know that the "joke goes on so long it loops back around to being funny again" is a thing, but this was not that.

Yeah, gotta agree there.

But I did like the pacing and callbacks for the wheelfucker.

Funny thing is, that guy who wants to bone The Wheel of Fortune's eponymous wheel? Brandon Caruso? He's married to The Big Wheel from Price is Right.

I guess for him, it hasn't been television's most exciting hour for years. (Not that he could sustain more than a few minutes of excitement, probably.)
