During his segment on United Healthcare, HBO host John Oliver once again took a jab at David Ellison, the CEO of Paramount Skydance. Ellison, who is set to take over HBO, was previously criticized by Stephen Colbert for his parent company's settlement with President Donald Trump. During the show, Oliver highlighted the story of a little girl whose parents had to pay $95,000 out of pocket for her medical treatment, which ultimately proved successful.

Oliver jokingly referred to Ellison as his "soon-to-be business daddy," pointing out that having wealthy parents should not be the system to gain necessary healthcare or leadership roles.
