John Oliver starts Last week tonight Fox News roasts for the second week in a row. The HBO Max host first noted that Donald Trump and US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg attended the train derailment in Ohio.
However, on Fox News, Jesse Watters and Rachel Campos-Duffy questioned why some personalities did not visit the East Palestine website.
“Think about the environmentalists and American corporations, they weren’t there,” Campos-Duffy continued Fox & Friends weekend.
The Real World: San Francisco Alum continued, “It’s an Erin Brockovich moment. An Oscar-winning blockbuster was written about something like that.”
Watters added that Brockovich did visit East Palestine, while Campos-Duffy asked, “But where is Julia Roberts?”
Confused by Oliver’s response to the Fox News piece, he asked what they were talking about before explaining Roberts’ profession to television personalities.
“You do realize that Julia Roberts is an actress, right? She acted like she wasn’t Erin Brockovich,” Oliver joked.
He then added, “I can’t believe I’m the one telling you this too… She didn’t exactly ruin her best friend’s wedding (My best friend’s wedding), she is not a sex worker (Beautiful woman) and she didn’t die in a small town in Louisiana in 1989 (Steel magnolias). What the hell is wrong with you?”
Oliver didn’t stop grilling conservative media personalities there. In the next segment, he showed Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens and Stephen Bannon upset that James O’Keefe was fired from Project Veritas, an activist group opposed to Democrats, Liberals and the media.
Bannon called O’Keefe a national treasure, but Oliver disagreed, adding, “The only national treasures in this country are Dolly Parton, Pedro Pascal and Cocaine Bear.” And I say what we’re all thinking – threesome, when?
