John Oliver “Last week tonight” to Pa. To give Minor League Baseball team

The moderator of “last week”, John Oliver, is known for the occasional outrageous stunt, such as offering a motorhome for the Supreme Court of Clarence Thomas if he would resign, but he might have met a Homerun with his latest company.

At the beginning of this month, Oliver pressed his fascination for Minor League baseball teams, their unique names and the occasionally crazy advertisingunts that she did to get people to play.

At the end of this segment, Oliver made an offer to give a team a full rebrand that “does not accept the glorious eccentricity, which does not to which the great league they belong to”.

“We are ready to use all of our resources and stupidity to give a Minor League baseball team a total rebrand,” said Oliver. “We will give you a new team name, a new mascot, we will even throw you a topic evening. It will be personalized, it will be personalized and it will be tailor -made. I promise that we will just as much time, energy and research on this research

According to Oliver, 47 teams wrote on the show that pray for a restart, and last Sunday he announced that the winner … The Erie Seawolves, a subsidiary of the Detroit Tigers, is.

“You wrote us with a list of 11 good reasons to choose you, of which one” The Seawolves played baseball nowhere in the sea, “said Oliver during the segment.” What is a problem, Erie, we can help you to fix it. ”

“So congratulations to the Seawolves, they are called something else,” he joked.

However, there are three conditions to which the Erie team has to adhere to: You cannot ask questions, you cannot give notes and you have to do all the ideas with which the show comes.

This is not the first time that Erie was mentioned on the show. In April, Oliver mentioned the canceled plans of the city for a recycling plant of 300 million US dollars and gave Mad Anthony Wayne, whose body was cooked in oil so that his skeleton was returned to his hometown.

“And thanks to the thwarted recycling plant, the only thing I will ever know about Erie, Pennsylvania, will know,” he joked.

“Last week this evening with John Oliver” will be broadcast on HBO Max every Sunday at 11 p.m.
