‘Last Week Tonight’: John Oliver Skewers Eric Adams’ Cameo In Turkish Rom-Com Where He Is Asked To Grant Political Favors: “Not A Great Sign”


'Last Week Tonight' host John Oliver took aim at New York City Mayor Eric Adams, skewering the politician for his involvement with Turkey and Diddy.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver took aim at recently FBI-indicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams, skewering the politician for his ties to illegal campaign contributions, particularly from political ally Turkey. The comedian began the segment by outlining the charges against the embattled leader, which include conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bribery, and how seemingly every media appearance and utterance from Adams has not worked in his favor. And while Oliver said the clip from the rom-com wasn’t great, nothing has failed to stand the test of time as much as Adams’ decision to grant disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently arrested on charges of sex trafficking, a key to New York City.
