Colbert Shows the Sound Financial Advice ‘Rudy’ Gets After NCAA’s Court Defeat (Video)
One of the brighter spots of news in the last week or so was the richly deserved defeat the Supreme Court handed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). And for the cold open on the latest “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert imagined how that might change things for student athletes with a parody of “Rudy.” So first, in case you’re just catching up, last week the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the NCAA’s prohibition against even modest payments to student athletes was a violation of anti-trust laws and struck it down. This has potentially huge implications, as the NCAA…

John Oliver and Rachel Dratch Want You to Sign Up for Their Fake Church’s Fake Healthcare
John Oliver created a tax-free mock church back in 2015 with “Saturday Night Live” alum Rachel Dratch and this time, he and Dratch have a new venture — a church called “Our Lady of Perpetual Health” that will offer a bogus health care sharing ministry program, JohnnyCare. The HBO host brought Dratch back as part of a bit to raise awareness of not only how easy it is to create a tax-exempt church, but specifically to call out Florida for its lack of regulation around health care sharing ministry programs. Oliver and his team even created a website at FreedomFromHealthCare.org…

Watch CNN’s Jim Acosta Grill Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Street About Capitol Riot (Video)
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to appear on CNN to elaborate on her Capitol insurrection conspiracy theories, so the network’s Chief Domestic Correspondent Jim Acosta went to her.

For months, Taylor Greene has refused to acknowledge that the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 was Trump supporters and has instead spread the conspiracy theory that it was the work of FBI operatives and Antifa. In an interview published Saturday, Acosta tracked down the Republican congresswoman in hopes that she’d provide evidence for her widely-disputed claims. When confronted about recently released videos featuring new…

Bill Maher Begs Quentin Tarantino Not to Retire (Video)
Quentin Tarantino was the top-of-the-show guest on Friday’s episode of “Real Time” — the last episode before Bill Maher’s annual July hiatus, incidentally. And during their conversation, ostensibly about Tarantino’s new book based on his Oscar-winning movie “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” Maher basically begged the “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained” director not to retire. Alas, Maher likely came away disappointed, as Tarantino was adamant that he won’t be changing his plans. Tarantino of course has since 2014 been very public about his plans to retire from directing after he directs his 10th film. And yes, every time he’s…
