John Oliver is the latest late-night TV host to take on Dan Snyder and his complete opposition to changing his football team’s offensive name. Working off the powerful Change the Name ad that aired during the NBA finals — a listing of names Native Americans are actually proud to be called — the Last Week Tonight host created his own spot defending seemingly indefensible opinions. For example: “Steven Tyler’s still got it”; “Camping is actually fun”; “Every flight needs more babies”; “Philadelphia is the cultural capital of America”: “Nancy Grace seems nice.”
But what can’t be defended, according to Oliver? The name.
