But the effect is compounded by the sense that Rose’s persona — that of a too-avid lecher — was on public view before the allegations came to light. Just as _30 Rock_ joked about Bill Cosby or Seth MacFarlane jibed Harvey Weinstein, John Oliver’s _Last Week Tonight_ had made sport of the uncomfortable dynamic on _CBS This Morning_, highlighting what the Oliver show called the “breakfast-time foreplay” of the show. In [one clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6QKub4Fazk), Rita Moreno performed a Marilyn Monroe impression while in Charlie Rose’s arms and declared, “Hey, you’re too cooperative!” In [another](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlLPdzjqSzc), Rose grinned in a leering fashion after declaring, “I’m going to die and go to heaven right now!” about his female coworkers’ performing a song. In a [third clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RrzxtmeIDM), compiling various instances of suggestive talk on the show, Rose said he thought he got a cold “from \[costar Norah O’Donnell\] last week.” It’s worth noting that the incidents described in the Washington _Post_ did not happen on set at CBS or to CBS employees; Rose’s empire has over time included a panoply of employees working privately for him. But his public perception as a roué followed him to air at CBS — exactly the sort of public perception that has so often in recent months come in for retroactive re-evaluation, as we realize the jokes had a grain of real truth to them, and may have been more perceptive than funny. **Correction:** The original version of this story misstated the host who grinned in a leering fashion at his costars on _CBS This Morning_. It was Charlie Rose, not John Oliver. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5032523/charlie-rose-sexual-misconduct-john-oliver-clips/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5032523/charlie-rose-sexual-misconduct-john-oliver-clips/"},"headline":"John Oliver Joked About Charlie Rose's On-Air 'Sexual Tension' Before the New Allegations","datePublished":"2017-11-20T23:08:09.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T00:09:03.000Z","description":"Rose was accused on sexual misconduct towards his staff","url":"https://time.com/5032523/charlie-rose-sexual-misconduct-john-oliver-clips/","keywords":["Television","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt363867fbaf1ff742/6988e6888fd2ee098d359b66/charlie-rose-john-oliver.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt363867fbaf1ff742/6988e6888fd2ee098d359b66/charlie-rose-john-oliver.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"New York Magazine 50th Anniversary Party","caption":"New York Magazine 50th Anniversary Party","creditText":"Ben Gabbe—Getty Images for New York Magazine","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5032523/charlie-rose-sexual-misconduct-john-oliver-clips/","name":"John Oliver Joked About Charlie Rose's On-Air 'Sexual Tension' Before the New Allegations"}}]}] ```
