It's been five days since the Senate Judiciary Committee heard from Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh.
While the FBI investigates the alleged sexual assault, and Capitol Hill awaits a confirmation vote for Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, the TV pundits have no shortage of content to fill the airwaves.
So just imagine what kind of a story it would take for a faux news show like "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" to lead with something aside from the Kavanaugh nomination.
And that's where Gritty, the new mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, comes in, bumping Kavanaugh from the top of Oliver's show on Sunday.
