John Oliver discusses the health care offered in prisons and jails, who provides it, why its so bad, and what Red Bulls slogan should be. - 10/01/2023.
And here's a "bootleg" version of the show which starts with John's comments on the news we've missed in the last five months. It won't last long, as usual:

Yay.
They're back!

p.s. John Oliver is also Colbert's guest on Tuesday - Stephen is back tomorrow night, and I always post him, too!

(222,238 posts)Exactly what we need right now, we've sure missed the humor recently!
And of course I posted Al Franken, he not only had one of his favorite guests, but he also talked about Dianne Feinstein. I was lucky to see him in person a couple of years ago when his National Tour Tour came to my area (Albany, NY) - and he talked a lot about his time in the Senate, including when he was on Dianne Feinstein's committee. He said that when the committee was waiting, she'd ask him to tell a joke - and the other senators would often argue about what it meant and if it was funny...
