Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
John Oliver returned from holiday break to criticize the troubled rollout of Donald Trump's Freedom 250 celebration, which has seen multiple performer cancellations after artists discovered the event was not apolitical. Oliver mocked the lineup as featuring "people that you haven't thought about since 2009," comparing it to a birthday party playlist rather than a national celebration.
