In fact, Sebastian is so completely fucking on brand in this regard, I now have come to realize that he is most likely a bot established collaboratively by the Hannity and Limbaugh camps to act as a cyber version of the sphincter of a man with dysentery, continually spraying their infected fecal stew of lies and disinformation across the web site in real time. All of Sebastian’s greatest hits are covered in the episode (from “we will see a few thousand deaths maximum” to “except for the elderly, this will be like a mild flu” to the whole “anecdotal data regarding Hydroxychloroquine” bullshit). It all originated in the Fox News/Rush Limbaugh black hole of truth, and Sebastian almost never wavered from the script. As an additional bonus, there is an oddly compelling segment about the Wendy Williams pandemic version of her show called “Wendy William At Home” that I can not do justice to in words.

That's so cute. You think John Oliver is clever.
The Flower got dumber as he went,
His mind was addled, in fact spent,
He thought, as always, as told,
Mostly tribe-think, "mental mold,"
He cited the banal as wit,
The most boring of boring preachy shit
He was always a frivolous fop,
But to witness him turn to such slop?
The earnest still have a position!
Men on a self-righteous mission!
So they're dim, predicted like rain,
So their taste is gone down the drain,
So their views are those of a child,
They're ultimately dull and mild
Would you rather spar with the smart?
Or one you can wave off like a fart?
So just smile at the weed and have pity,
To lose wit is a fate quite shitty,
Snicker as he cites some tripe,
That's always been his stripe,
He never had much to offer,
Indeed, his was a limited coffer
Oliver fits his tastes well,
He surely thinks the Brit quite swell,
Assumes him clever and insightful,
To his middle mind, downright delightful!
And while I fear he might this consider this mean, perhaps in fact spiteful,
I fear more the decay of his mind - for if anything, that is quite frightful.
