Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: The World Cup in Qatar

November 21, 2022 1:52 AM - Season 9, Episode 30

This week... Elon Musk has been running Twitter for three weeks now and it hasn't been going great. And Now: People On TV Have Some Thoughts On Thanksgiving Foods. Main story: the World Cup comes to Qatar, a nation with some serious problems. A million people are coming to a tiny nation that casually threatens journalists, a nation that will now simultaneously host a plethora of human rights abuses and the world's biggest soccer tournament. On Youtube (25 minutes). And Now: People On TV Interrogate The Important Question: Do You Say Pecan Or Pecan. Finally, this is the last episode of Last Week Tonight for the season, and so we return to AI image generation, along with a whole bunch of clowns on unicycles. "Why do unicycles exist?" Why, indeed.

He totally set up clowns on bi-unicycles and didn't deliver. Outrageous.

I think they were riding the less common semi-bicycles.

I will miss montages of local news personalities making awkward small talk. See you in February!
