John Oliver has been pointing out the ‘awkward sex talk’ on Charlie Rose' CBS show for years

It was an occasional segment on "Last Week Tonight," one that host John Oliver seemed to use to lampoon the awkward sexual tension on "CBS This Morning."

"And now ..." a narrator would intone at the beginning, before segueing into the latest examples of double entendres and sexual innuendos on the long-running morning show that, up until this week, was hosted by a trio of veteran anchors: Gayle King, Norah O'Donnell and Charlie Rose.

Now they have been cast in a different light after The Washington Post on Monday published a detailed report in which eight women alleged Rose made unwanted sexual advances to them, from the late 1990s to 2011.
