Last week on Last Week, John Oliver ended the show with a very welcome respite from political news. After noting that a Russell Crowe “divorce auction” held by the actor in Australia had resulted in such winning bids as $7,000 for the leather jockstrap worn by Crowe in the 2005 boxing film Cinderella Man, Oliver admitted that several items from that auction, including the jockstrap, had in fact been purchased by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Then he noted that, because of its remote location and a paucity of strong Internet coverage, Anchorage was one of the only remaining American cities with a Blockbuster Video store – and if the manager of that store would call Last Week within 48 hours, the show would donate all the purchased auction items as store displays to help that Blockbuster stay in business. The good news: The manager indeed called, and the deal to transfer the goods, leather jock and all, is on. Wouldn’t you love to be a staff writer on Last Week Tonight right now, working for Oliver, for whom, clearly, no idea is too outrageous, or too outside the box? For that matter, wouldn’t it be fun to be Oliver’s accountant, where all this nonsense would be justifiable line-item budget deductions?
