John Oliver Is First Late-Night Comic to Address Harvey Weinstein Scandal

On Sunday I did a video for the PJ Media Facebook page addressing the fact that none of the late-night comedians or Saturday Night Live had the guts to go after former Democrat darling Harvey Weinstein.

John Oliver became the first, dealing with it on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight.” Predictably, Oliver had to get in a dig on President Trump, but the Weinstein stuff is hilarious. There’s a mild language warning for this.
