John Oliver bought time on Trinidad and Tobago TV to beg Jack Warner to snitch

The HBO host wants the disgraced former FIFA executive to spill the beans for the benefit of the rest of us.

Former FIFA executive Jack Warner, who sits at the center of the organization’s corruption investigation thanks to some ridiculous and truly grim allegations, has taken time to defend himself on television in Trinidad and Tobago, his home country/the country that might extradite him.

HBO host John Oliver has had so much fun with the absurdity of this FIFA corruption scandal, and he continued to bask in the absurdity of the whole thing by recently buying some TV6 time of his own in order to send a message to Warner. In between mocking Mike & Molly and doing a horrible Trini accent, Oliver pleaded with Warner to turn on everyone and let all the silliness into the open air:

“You owe it to the whole world to tell us. Why should you do it? Well, put it this way: Right now, Jack, everybody hates you. I mean literally everybody. I think it’s something to do with you seeming like an absolutely terrible human being. But, if you turn on FIFA, do not underestimate how much people might be willing to forgive, and if one day you end up in jail, and you’re staring up at the ceiling, wouldn’t you feel better to know you took down some people with you?”

I’ll echo that message: You’re unmistakably a bad man, Jack Warner. At least let us laugh a little more before you hopefully go away for a long, long time. Chuck Blazer’s snitching produced such hilarious results. You’ve surely got some great stuff of your own, Jack.
