Steve Johnson, who has owned Zumbrota Ford for 22 years, is known for his loud and goofy car commercials that feature him and often his daughter wearing silly costumes. His dealership is making headlines this week, because he agreed to shoot a free commercial script by John Oliver of HBO's "Last Week Tonight." Oliver described the commercial as a “Tense, domestic psychodrama” about the end of marriage and an all-wheel drive minivan from Zumbrota Ford.

For all of its dark melodrama, Oliver goes on to praise the Zumbrata team for throwing themselves at the script, even noting some of their own personal touches that were not included in the script.
