Oliver suggested that hating robocalls might be 'the only thing that everyone in America agrees on now.'
Comedian John Oliver used Sunday’s Last Week Tonight show to attack the Federal Communications Commission for inaction on stopping the spread of so-called robocalls. He also announced the show had set up a protest campaign to show the body’s commissioners just how annoying telephone harassment can be.
Pai, who according to Oliver “clearly has aspirations for higher political office,” has previously condemned the use of robocalls. He has described the practice as the “scourge of civilization,” but also backed a court decision to repeal Obama-era legislation that policed the practice, calling it “regulatory overreach.”
The comedian then played the message that the FCC commissioners would hear. “Hi FCC! This is John from Customer Service. Congratulations! You’ve just won a chance to lower robocalls in America today,” it said. The host began the show’s campaign by pressing a large red button, above which a model hand with a pointed finger hung. He then took out a smaller red button, explaining, “When my finger presses this [small] button, it will trigger this much larger finger, that will press a much larger button, which will trigger our calls to the FCC.”
