Comedian John Oliver took a jab at Bravo star Tom Sandoval on a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, poking fun at Sandoval's intelligence while discussing a scam known as "pig butchering." Sandoval has been a target for late-night shows, with SNL also labeling him a "pure narcissist." Sandoval's infamy stems from cheating on Ariana Madix with their co-star Rachel Leviss, resulting in a scandal known as "Scandoval."

The controversy escalated when Sandoval made controversial comparisons in a New York Times profile, likening the media attention from his affair to the cases of George Floyd and O.J. Simpson. Following backlash, Sandoval issued a public apology, stating, "The comparison was inappropriate and ignorant. I'm incredibly sorry and embarrassed."

The scandal has been a turning point for Sandoval and the Vanderpump Rules series itself, leading to increased ratings. Despite the criticism and jokes from comedians, Sandoval's actions continue to make headlines and stir up controversy within the reality TV world.
