“Blown away by @iamjohnoliver’s new book, A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo..”

–@MaxMutchnick

What started as a highly satirical, well-crafted prank by John Oliver and Last Week Tonight on VP Mike Pence turned into an Amazon bestseller and has now become an actual gesture of inclusivity, support for LGBTQ rights, love, and community as demonstrated today by Mutchnick’s move to donate copies of the book to schools in Indiana, Pence’s home state.

This is further evidence of original suspicion that comedy can actually make a direct difference for good. Let’s hope all of these Indiana grammar schools take Max Mutchnick up on his offer.

John Oliver’s Parody Children’s Book About Mike Pence’s Rabbit Marlon Bundo Sells Out First Run; 2nd Print on the Way

So, is “The John Oliver Effect” still not a real thing?

John Oliver’s latest deep dive segment on Last Week Tonight dived into Mike Pence, the current Vice President of the United States.

In this segment, you might have learned that Pence has a pet rabbit named Marlon Bundo and has subsequently written a children’s book focused on his rabbit. Oliver and his Last Week Tonight team saw this happening and made their own pro-LGBTQ children’s book also about Marlon Bundo and had it published and distributed online with all proceeds going to the Trevor Project and Aids United.

The book’s first print run sold out and became an Amazon bestseller in less than a day, prompting for a 2nd print.

You can get more details and get your own copy of A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo here.

If you can’t wait that long, you can get an e-book or audiobook version (featuring the voices of Jim Parsons, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, John Lithgow, Jack McBrayer, and RuPaul).

While “The John Oliver Effect” may still be up for debate, at the very least this is a great example that comedy can actually make a direct difference in the world for the better.
