Last week, John Oliver returned with a vengeance – or, at least, a brilliant stunt in which he established the early-morning cable news TV viewing habits of President Donald Trump, then introduced ads he and his staff had written and produced specifically to run on cable news shows in the Washington, D.C. market the next morning. They starred a drawling, friendly, aging cowboy, who, instead of hawking a mail-order type of catheter, was targeting a very specific audience – POTUS himself – with ad after ad full of valuable information. “Just because it’s sometimes cold, that doesn’t mean there’s no global warming,” goes one such ad. “You’re confusing climate with weather, partner.” It brings new meaning to the term “infomercial” – and presents the funniest extended, outside-the-box political satire bit since Pat Paulsen’s presidential run for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour back in 1968.
