Defamation Case Brought by Coal Titan Robert Murray Against John Oliver and Last Week Tonight Gets Dismissed

The man who John Oliver called “Geriatric Dr. Evil” couldn’t take the jokes by the comedian and host of Last Week Tonight and opted to take his tendency towards suing people and drew up a defamation case. 

Fortunately, for the sake of the of our First Amendment rights, a judge honored HBO’s request to dismiss the case. 

We can only hope that Oliver has some sort of confetti and dancing mascot segment planned to celebrate a tad of good news on this week’s Last Week Tonight.
