You guys, John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” bought Russell Crowe’s leather jockstrap from “Cinderella Man” for $7,000. Yes, that really happened — and it was only the start of their late-night spending spree.
The premium-TV talk show purchased additional killer (or “pointless,” in Oliver’s words) Crowe memorabilia from the actor’s divorce auction — and the HBO host wants to donate it all to the last remaining Blockbuster Video store in Anchorage, Alaska. All the manager there needs to do to claim this stuff is to call within 48 hours. No word on who would be on the hook for shipping costs.
