What I love about this is that it's exactly the kind of thing he'd talk about on his show, which would be hilarious and also add more exposure the the whole thing.

Can’t wait to see him respond to it. Maybe he will post a couple of saucy pics on the subreddit himself to contribute?

[-] Shhalahr@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Sounds up his alley.

I predict a show segment where he does a photoshoot for Sports Illustrated.

That sounds dreadful, and yet apropo. I would not want to see the results of said photo shoot, but it would trigger right wingers and Reddit.

I don't like linking to Twitter, but John Oliver acknowledged it and tweeted some photos for Redditers to use: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120?t=58hT7Y7ZMhwZ37CIxgeRdg&s=19

For sure he’s going to talk about it!

[-] -hypnotoad-@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago

The writers strike is still ongoing though, bad timing for all of this; he would have been a helpful voice.

[-] TechyDad@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

He's already tweeted about it and gave some photos for people to use: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120?t=58hT7Y7ZMhwZ37CIxgeRdg&s=19
