The numbers are in for the “60 Minutes” premiere under Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton and… they’re not pretty. Oliver and Jon break down the shockingly low ratings, the industry’s reaction, and what it says about the show’s new direction.

Next, an explosive, four-hour-long Elon Musk documentary is set for release in early October, and Universal is feeling the heat. Will the Comcast-owned studio release the film internationally? Or is it getting cold feet?

Finally, the removal of Macklemore from Ed Sheeran's current tour has caused massive backlash and served as yet another example of free speech under attack in Donald Trump’s America.
