Last Week Tonight shutting down indefinitely after staff member tests positive.

God dammit.

Can we crowdfund a bunker somewhere so John Oliver can stay on the air?

My best to the staffer. I hope he or she makes a full recovery and that no one else is infected.

I wonder if someone can set up a studio somewhere - could be a celebrity, maybe not - and do a regular show or even a video series or podcast? I'm thinking of Ted Koppel and also the fireside chats.
