Lead poisoning is a national problem. If only lawmakers were as concerned as the puppets on Sesame Street.

    If we had fixed the lead issues back in the 70's we wouldn't be dealing with Trump voters today.

    I did not expect to watch Elmo today.

    People worried about vaccines giving atuism should be freaking out about this instead

    Fun fact: "Every Breath You Take" is supposed to be creepy. It's not a love song, it's about possessiveness, jealousy, and stalking. To quote Sting in 1983: “I think it’s a nasty little song, really rather evil. It’s about jealousy and surveillance and ownership.” Again, it is not a love song. Sting even wrote "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free" in 1985 specifically as an "antidote" to the "poison" of the earlier song.

    I would never try to poison you. Now eat your Pb and jelly sandwich

    John Oliver has realised that the only way to communicate with Americans effectively is through childrens songs

    Have you ever felt like Last Week Tonight is "Sesame Street" for Adults?
  • @ripapa6355
    It's sad that the person who seems the most concerned about america is a brit with a tv show.
  • @jbearclowater
    It's heartwarming to see John Oliver's smile as he works alongside Sesame Street. There's not street cred as good as Sesame Street cred.
  • John Oliver really makes use of HBO's buying of Sesame Street whenever he can.

    "Even low level exposure can lead to irreversible damage like lower IQs, antisocial behaviour, reduced attention span." Someone should check the plumbing in Trump tower!

    Elmo has $1.76, and the estimated cost is about $0.50 per taxpayer per year. Elmo was literally willing to fund his share for 3 years, right there in the sketch

    Hey at least we are Lead-ing in something!

    This came out in 2016. It's now 2019. Flint still does not have clean water.
  • @Quants0
    I was drinking a Mtn Dew Code Red while watching this. I expect to be taken to the emergency room any minute now.
  • @connor2525
    John Oliver is the true heir to the daily show.
  • @GermanLeftist
    The Michigan primary is over, and who's the only candidate of both parties still talking about Flint? Bernie Sanders. #feelthebern

    I remember seeing that old Sesame Street video when I was kindergarten. We were sent home with a copy of the DVD, a Sesame Street lead information pamphlet, and a plush Elmo toy that I still have today. 😂

    Let's not forget Troy McLure's wise word's: "Lead paint! Delicious,but deadly !"
