Volatile. Loud. Abrasive. Charismatic (to some). Bile-fuelled (to others). In a dangerous position of influence and power. And no, we're still not talking about Trump.
After a month off (we missed you!), John Oliver is back with Last Week Tonight, and this time he brings up Alex Jones. If you don't know who that is, don't worry, you definitely will have happened across one of his rants at some point, like this one in which he claims the American government have turned tap water into a "gay bomb", and he isn't super happy about it...

Thankfully, we condenses it down to just one 20-minute clip, instead of the FOUR HOUR show that Jones has on each week.

The issue of Anthony Scaramucci came up, including his now already infamous "suck his own c*ck" line about his predecessor, and Oliver has a great time with the newscasters who were forced to report the story without using the harsh language. It is ... a properly transcendent moment for modern television. Clip via JOHN OLIVER!Explore more on these topics:
