John Oliver Buys Airtime on Trinidad TV to Call out FIFA Executive

John Oliver has been one of the louder critics of soccer's governing body FIFA. His critiques of the organization began well before it was rocked by allegations of corruption.

But now he's taken his message straight to one of FIFAs executives caught in the scandal, Jack Warner, by doing the same thing he did and buying TV air time, in his home country of Trinidad, to plead for him to release incriminating documents.

"Release everything. Because here's my argument; Why the hell not. It's not like you aren't already in a lot of trouble," the late-night comedian petitioned. Oliver continued with one final plea, saying, "Release the documents. Mr. Warner and you may yet salvage your completely tattered reputation."

Anderson Cooper Ridicules Himself

Anderson Cooper defended ex-FIFA executive Jack Warner for falling for an article by the satirical magazine The Onion. Amidst the scandal surrounding FIFA, Warner claimed that the United States was secretly hosting its own World Cup this summer. Anderson chose to poke fun at himself instead because he made the same mistake just last month when he fell for an article by the satirical website Clickhole. "I fell for a Clickhole article that quoted me as saying this at a commencement speech. 'Graduation is a big deal. Bigger than getting a hole in one while golfing,'" said Anderson, who tweeted last month, "Do you just make this stuff up?" Unfortunately, they do 'just make this stuff up,' but fortunately for Jack Warner, he has one less journalist on his back after Anderson closed with, "Love is gentle, love is kind. So let's give the FIFA guy a break."
