‘Last Week Tonight’: John Oliver Compares Himself To Big Bird While Teaching Trump Rep About Venn Diagrams

As the Donald Trump campaign attempts to fling dirt at Kamala Harris, John Oliver is just trying to make sense of the latest nickname.

On Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight, the comedian expressed confusion at Trump referring to his opponent as “Kamabla” in multiple social media posts, as well as his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung posting a Venn diagram comparing the words “Kama” and “bla.” He noted it “not only failed to explain anything, it’s not how venn diagrams work!

Not to be a total chart bitch, but I am what I am.” Oliver then explained the actual purpose of a Venn diagram before laying out some examples. “For instance, a Venn diagram could feature one circle with a dolphins and another with sharks overlapping with the shared descriptor, ‘lives in the ocean,'” he started. “Or you could have a circle with me and another with Big Bird.

With the overlap being, ‘squawks educational lessons on television,'” Oliver continued. “Or you can have a circle with Jenna Ortega and one with Pepé Le Pew, with the intersection, ‘can’t say where they were on 9/11.’ Does it matter that one’s fictional and one wasn’t born yet?
