John Oliver recapped the madness surrounding the US Presidential Election results in this week’s episode of Last Week Tonight. Oliver has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump for awhile now, even putting out an episode trying to show undecided voters, why Kamala Harris would be a better choice. But once Trump was officially announced as the 47th President of the United States, fans have been looking forward to how the comedian would respond to the news. Well, on Sunday, LWT’s new episode delved into the reasons behind Harris’ loss, and John in his signature way, handled the topic with his amusing pessimism.
The 47-year-old explained, “On Tuesday, Trump won re-election. Which is, to put it mildly, not what I was personally hoping would happen.” However, he pointed out that Trump didn’t seem all that prepared either, saying “He couldn’t seem to believe it either.” Commenting on the President Elect’s Winning Speech, the host amusingly noted that it had the “same energy” as a “best man who didn’t realize he had to give a toast.”
John also revealed that it was “enraging” to see the world go on as it does in the light of this massive news. Citing a post by Hello Kitty which read “Checking in.… What are you looking forward to this month?” To which the Emmy winner responded, “Hey, Hello Kitty, not f******g now.” He sarcastically revealed, “I would love to tell you what I’m looking forward to, but I cannot seem to find ‘drinking my lights out and some grief mac and cheese’ on your stupid puzzle.”
However, John Oliver delivered a message to his viewers to take care of themselves. Telling them “if you are too angry, depressed or worried to watch the rest of this show, no problem.” He went on to add that he’s “mad” at President Joe Biden “for not dropping out earlier.” Adding that “inaction” of the former host of The Apprentice and Biden who are “older than credit cards themselves” has led them “to this point.” While the half-hour episode was filled with serious political commentary and a deep dive into the elections, the show closed off in its signature hilarious style, with Oliver fighting off a turkey filter from his head.

Marvel Studios has officially revealed the new owner of the Avengers Tower, ending years of fan theories and speculations. The building, once an iconic New York landmark owned by Tony Stark, was previously a subject of much intrigue. Fans speculated that characters like Reed Richards, Norman Osborn, or Victor Von Doom might eventually buy it. However, Marvel’s new teaser for the upcoming Thunderbolts movie confirmed that Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is now the building’s owner.
This reveal came over the weekend at D23 Brazil, where Marvel shared a sneak peek of Thunderbolts. The teaser included a scene inside the Avengers Tower, showing Valentina pouring a drink and talking to the group she has assembled for a secret mission. Reflecting on the building’s history, she says, “How crazy is it to think of all the monumental fights that happened exactly here where you’re standing.” Her remark hints at the tower’s significance as a base for powerful figures.

The character of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has been a mysterious force in the MCU, gradually creating the Thunderbolts team over several films. Her acquisition of Avengers Tower suggests that she is aiming to add credibility and influence to her team, possibly using the tower’s reputation to win public trust. With the same iconic building that once symbolized the Avengers’ heroism, Valentina’s group may gain some respect and visibility.
Though Marvel hasn’t detailed whether Valentina bought the building outright or used a shell company, her new ownership adds a potential layer to her character’s motives. While she isn’t an obvious villain, her tactics suggest she may be masking some questionable actions. Fans will have to wait to see if Valentina uses the tower for her team’s headquarters or if another twist awaits its ownership in the future.
