John Oliver: Turkey Pardoning (Last Week Tonight)

John Oliver, you read our mind. We were just wondering how we’re going to make it till February without Last Week Tonight, and we’ve been fiending for a fix like the hopeless J.O. junkies that we are. Well, luckily, there’s one American tradition that’s so absurd that Oliver couldn’t bite his tongue on the matter, and he’s taken a brief hiatus from his hiatus to give us a piece of his mind. Oliver called out the presidential turkey pardon for being hypocritical and just plain weird, while offering an interesting alternative. Hint: If you’re a turkey, you’re not going to like it.

Oliver opened the segment explaining that though his show is on hiatus, “like a psychotic ex, we’re still sending you videos from time to time to remind you what you’re missing.” We’re pretty sure that America doesn’t need to be reminded, as we’ve all been pining for you since you went away, but we welcome the unexpected mini segments, so keep ‘em coming. So what prompted this pleasant surprise? Thanksgiving.
