Video Licks: ‘Last Week Tonight’ Goes Behind the Curtain of the Nutritional Supplement Industry

It just wouldn’t be Sunday without a jaw-dropping, laughter-belching episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Last night’s episode did not disappoint. Oliver exposed the dark underbelly of the nutritional supplement industry paying special attention to a Senate hearing’s criticism of Dr. Mehmet Oz’s (Dr. Oz for short) claims of dietary supplements being magical cure-alls. The highlight of the evening was when Oliver used his far-reaching connections to demonstrate that it’s quite possible to gratify an audience without bringing harm to them. Watch and enjoy!
