Synopsis
John Oliver discusses ABC's move to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air, what it has to do with Brendan Carr and the FCC, what it means for free speech in the United States, and which broadcasting giant should open an Italian restaurant. Ok fine: it's Tegna. With a name like "Tegna" you've just gotta serve complimentary garlic knots. End of discussion.
