‘Last
Week Tonight’: John Oliver Returns To HBO & Offers To Pay Clarence
Thomas $1M A Year To “Get The F*** Off The Supreme Court”
--Deadline
Oliver made Thomas “a special offer,” which included “one million dollars a year for the rest of your life if you simply agree to leave the Supreme Court immediately and never come back.”
The comedian pulled out a contract and assured viewers that he was not joking...
"HBO is not putting up the money for this. I am personally on the hook. You can make me really regret this. I could be doing standup tours to pay for your retirement for years.”
“You have exactly 30 days from midnight tonight to make your resignation effective.”
Oliver also offered him a brand new top-of-the-line motorcoach worth $2.4 million, which includes a full bedroom with a king-size bed, one and a half baths, a fireplace, four TVs, a washer/dryer, and a residential-size fridge.
“So that’s the offer. A million dollars a year and a brand new condo on wheels ... all you have to do is sign the contract and get the f*** off the Supreme Court."
The comedian noted billionaires have made similar offers to judges and politicians for decades.
