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

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

    It's sad that the person who seems the most concerned about america is a brit with a tv show.

    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

    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 is the true heir to the daily show.

    I remember that original thing on Sesame Street about lead paint. It actually made me ask my mom about it and she told me that my parents made sure to buy a house that hadn't been painted with lead paint. There's your proof that it created awareness and a conversation when they did it back then. I hope this video does the same again.

    Explains why the conservatives think the way they do then...

    How come HBO can post full 20 minute videos, but every other network cuts their stuff up into like 3 minute clips?

    This is one of those "Why would anyone downvote this?" videos.

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

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

    The Michigan primary is over, and who's the only candidate of both parties still talking about Flint? Bernie Sanders.

    Have you ever felt like Last Week Tonight is "Sesame Street" for Adults?

    I did not expect to watch Elmo today.

    "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!

    John Oliver really makes use of HBO's buying of Sesame Street whenever he can.
