The way John Oliver can make topics like these so easy to understand is incredible. We are not worthy of him.

A drug drama with Michael Keaton, Bryan Cranston, Michael K. Williams (RIP) and Richard Kind had huge potential. Why didn't you make it HBO?

Your comment made me look up Michael K. Williams, and it turns out his death was related to heroin and fentanyl. Considering the context of this video, that's... something.

My brother overdosed on fentanyl in 2023 after years of addiction to opioids. He has demons, but he would still be around to for me to be mad at if not for the Sacklers. I hope they never know peace again.

Michael K Williams is still a huge loss, he was such a legend.

Thank you, John, and everyone at LAST WEEK TONIGHT. You really got the (snow)ball rolling on the Sacklers, which made a huge difference. My favorites were Richard Kind (I dunno!) and the late Michael K. Williams. I wonder if this episode made Michael Keaton decide to do the film DOPESICK? Oh, I can't leave out the great Bryan Cranston. The best show on TV!!!

Michael Keaton is great - and Dopesick came out in 2021. He was a doctor and not Sackler, but still :)

As an ex Walmart employee I can confirm we DID sell “adult toys” and they were locked up and when customers came to find me to unlock it, I had some of the best conversations of my life

Sadly they are not there. HBO keeps there only the two latest seasons for whatever reason.

Granted, I watched this in 2019 and may thus have recalled it in the basement of my mind, but the minute he said "multiple actors", I said aloud "Richard Kind".

If you enjoyed this and want another hit of “Fuck Corrupt Rich People” I recommend looking into the TV show Leverage: Redemption. It follows a Scooby Doo gang of Columbo-like thieves and conmen who exclusively go up against greedy billionaires, pharmaceuticals, corporations, and any other corrupt business that pisses you off. The first episode of Leverage: Redemption has them going up against a man responsible for addicted pain killers getting pushed on wounded vets and he cherishes his name and art. The show’s a lot of fun and super cathartic and the good news is this is a sequel series to Leverage, same premise, came out at the height of the 2007 Recession, and is five glorious seasons of karmic justice. Please watch them and enjoy
