Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks, you surely know what has been going on with Jack Warner and his new British rival, John Oliver. However, in case yuh really missed the bacchanal, here’s a quick update:
*Dramatic Recap Music*
….Previously on Orange Is The New Jack
- First of all, Jack Warner, a.k.a former FIFA Vice President, was arrested last month facing charges on money laundering and corruption– with regard to diverting US$750,000 in emergency funds intended for victims of 2010 Haiti earthquake to an account in his name. But, doh worry, for alyuh who wearin’ yuh green drawers, he was already released on bail.
- Due to being put in the centre of ‘de bribery scandal, despite being amongst 17 other individuals involved, Jack Warner addressed T&aT on a segment called ‘The Gloves Are Off’ on TV6 (yeah, people does still watch da) after having bought time on the channel, to claim that he had details of FIFA’s corruption which he threatened to release.
- Hearing about Jack Warner’s appearance on TV6, John Oliver, a British comedian, decided to buy airtime on the local TV channel himself in response to Jack Warner with ‘The Mittens of Disapproval Are On’ to directly roast Jack Warner, and even challenges him to act on his promise to release files that prove the corruption of Blatter and FIFA.
- Jack Warner then proceeded to throw back talk at John Oliver, where besides citing an article from the satirical newspaper ‘The Onion’, he repeatedly referred to Oliver as the “comedian fool” and the “American”. He avidly defended his nation as he believes that Oliver disrespected the country, but still expressed his distaste on the fact that TV6 took the comedian’s money to make a mockery of T&T on local television. (Hmmm, pot calling’ de kettle black, Jack?)
- The final throw is left in the hands of Oliver, where he challenges Jack, yet again (dese men doh tire), to respond to him with a better video, preferably one where he finds something else to quote other than satirical newspaper, and one where he uses background music other than the first search when you type in “epic, dramatic music” on Google…ah mean, come nah man Jack. Oliver ends his taunting video with fire and says, “Your move, Jack”….(but really Jack, if yuh cah handle the heat, PLEASE stay out ‘de _uckin’ kitchen!)

Cut into Intro…
So, now that we are all caught up, we at SCORCH want to know, what alyuh really thinkin’ about all dis?? There have been debates about whether John Oliver’s first address was more offensive towards T&T rather than being a jab solely at Mr. Warner himself. There’s also been questions about whether this rivalry has gone on waaaaay too long, or (believe it or not) if Uncle Jack really deserve all dis ole talk that he getting’. Regardless, let us know what YOU think…till then, stay tuned to this season of OITNJ.
