John Oliver was back with HBO Max and HBO Max, with a new episode Last Week TonightKim Kardashian received a special mention. For her work in solving an art fraud scheme, the comedian awarded Kim Kardashian special mention.
“A few years back, at the Met Gala, the year 2018,”Oliver stated. “Kim Kardashian made an appearance wearing head to toe Atelier Versace that was notably gold.”
Oliver showed Oliver a photo of the coffin that the Egyptian Nedjemankh had, at the time of his death, just been acquired by the Met museum. Kardashian, dressed in golden, took a picture with the coffin. The photo went viral on social media.
An anonymous informant alerted international authorities to reveal that the coffin had indeed been stolen and that the museum had been tricked into purchasing it for $4million dollars. Oliver was impressed by Kardashian’s power to add. “the woman has a real knack for producing incredible images just by standing next to men that look like they died a long time ago.”
Oliver had just made his punchline. A picture of Oliver next to him was taken. The KardashiansStar made fun of himself on-screen
The late-night show’s episode continued to focus on dealers not doing their proper research when acquiring art pieces that are, a lot of times, stolen. Oliver took another jab at Kardashian when he noted that museums couldn’t just sit back and not do research and wait “until Kim Kardashian takes a photograph in front of one of our objects and we’re humiliated on the international stage. This cannot be all her responsibility, she’s too busy revolutionizing shape wear.”
