One story in particular stood out after 22 weeks away from the desk.
Not that Oliver didn’t try talking about something serious—such as budgetary pressures in Italy—although he merely used that as a comedic misdirection to keep his focus on Boebert instead.
“It was a torrid production of ‘Beetlejuice: The Musical.’ I just need you to know that. I’m not saying it would be appropriate to engage in high-school freshman-era hand stuff during a production of any musical. I just want to be clear, this wasn’t one of the more sexually explicit ones like ‘Spring Awakening’ or ‘Rocky Horror’ or ‘Cats.’ This was ‘Beetlejuice.’ A show that’s quite loudly about death.
Oliver also couldn’t help but mock Boebert also for declaring “Do you know who I am?” as she was escorted out of the theater, calling it a “catastrophically bad” decision. Oliver tried to get to as much of the other things that amazed him since his previous telecast on April 30—including the Supreme Court rejecting affirmative action, Donald Trump’s mugshot and multiple indictments, and a new bribery scandal wherein Rep. Robert Menendez was caught Googling how much one kilo of gold weighed. “Yeah, not great, Bob!” Oliver quipped.
