John Oliver received a negative reception at the Sesame Street Gala after criticizing Bank of America, the event's sponsor. Oliver spoke out against the bank's high foreclosure rates and was booed offstage. He expressed disappointment in the praise given to the bank by a company executive and highlighted the irony of talking about kindness while associated with a predatory institution. Oliver jokingly mentioned the impact on Sesame Street characters like Bert and Ernie, who may face homelessness due to their landlord's mortgage with Bank of America.
