There is a cannon that shoots salmon over dams. It’s awesome. Check it out as it was featured on last night in the season finale for “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” on HBO. One of the most entertaining and intelligent shows on television, it returns February 8th. We’ll miss this show as it’s on break, but at least we have “The Newsroom” back now.
Oliver “shot a few salmon” through his machine and one was aimed at Houston Rockets big man Dwight Howard
It starts around the 245-250 mark as Michelle Beadle is fake reporting on a fake salmon striking Houston Rockets Center Dwight Howard and how the fish’s blow injured him and knocked him out of action for awhile.
Then in the very next frame Michelle Beadle takes a salmon to the face. As you do many media celebrities as you’ll see in the video below. No actual salmon were harmed in the filming of this segment; enjoy. Dwight Howard is okay too. Dwight Howard will be just fine, Rockets fans.
