John Oliver took out about four minutes of air-time in Trinidad & Tobago to try to coerce Jack Warner, a native of the islands and former FIFA executive, to turn over incriminating documents to the feds. Warner, who has served as a FIFA Vice President and head of CONCACAF, had bought a similar slice of airtime on the same station to threaten the release of the documents.
Basically, Oliver made a TV commercial to the effect of, "Do it! Do it!"
Then the plot thickened. Jack Warner actually responded to Oliver's commercial in one of the most paranoid/hilarious/kind of inspiring videos of all time. The soundtrack alone makes it worth a watch.
