John Oliver has bought Russell Crowe's jockstrap for the second time, revealing the purchase on his show. The comedian first acquired the undergarment in 2018 for $7,000 and donated it to a Blockbuster store. After the store closed, the jockstrap returned to Oliver.
In 2025, the item was auctioned again, raising $21,000 for public broadcasting. Most recently, in August, it sold for $10,000. Oliver confirmed that his show was the anonymous buyer, stating, "we fucking bought it back." He humorously noted the jockstrap's contribution to the show's charitable legacy, alongside funds for food banks and koala chlamydia wards.
