John Oliver Skewers Tronc
At one point in the spoof trailer for Stoplight, the Boston Chronicle gets rebranded as Chorp.
The spine of John Oliver’s latest piece is the company formally known as Tribune Publishing.
There’s a great clip of Sam Zell speaking to the staff of the Orlando Sentinel, a couple of suggestions from Oliver of what the word Tronc sounds like and a clever callback of the Zell remark about puppies and Iraq in Stoplight, the spoof trailer of Spotlight with Jason Sudeikis that caps it all off.
Oliver samples a portion of that infamous, recent Tronc introductory video and also mocks a Tronc graphic.
