I feel like a few times in the past year or so Wendover does a video and then Last Week Tonight does one on the same topic. I think at least one of them they credited/referenced Wendover? Could be fans on the writing staff, could be they're both reading similar news stories that prompt deeper dives that lead to videos.

Not saying its bad or anything. LWT definitely has a different/bigger audience that's good.
