John Oliver makes a mock promo for HBO Max: "HBO Max — it's not HBO, it's just TV"

The Hollywood Reporter

"There's nothing more cringe-worthy than watching someone forced to engage in promotional bullsh*t to appease the whims of their parent company," Oliver said in discussing the NBA's China controversy on Last Week Tonight. "And speaking of parent companies, that actually reminds me…." Oliver then proceeded to pretend to read a script promoting HBO Max. "Have you heard about HBO Max? Looking to add another app and monthly charge to watch things? HBO Max has you covered," he said. "It's gonna have all your favorites — reruns of The Big Bang Theory, reruns of Friends, reruns of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You can pay for all of those through HBO Max. HBO Max — it's not HBO, it's just TV."
