is what 60 minutes used to be. Actually, Last Week Tonight is so much better than 60 Minutes ever was, even in their heydays of the 60s and 70s. His staff is fantastic. They actually investigate and broadcast stuff 60 Minutes and now, other so-called investigative shows dream about, but are too afraid to show. But we all know it's all about making sure their owners suck up more than is even humanly possible to not only trump but the new Nazi/Republicant Party.
