The investigation is tied to an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Boeing also told a Senate panel that it cannot find a record of the work done on the Alaska plane.

I wonder if John Oliver had anything to do with it by bringing attention.
Nah, the door blowing off the airplane was world news. The 2 Boeing crashes a handful of years ago were world news. It's a massive American company. The writing has been on the wall for a while.
Ummm, it's a long going story which John reported quite late actually
It is a long going story, but this extra concern happens right after their report and their reports get a lot of views.
There was a documentary about Boeing that was very detailed and it was largely ignored. Oliver's platform helped get the problem the attention it deserved.
I suspect the explosive decompression caused by one of the doors flying off a plane mid-air might have been more directly responsible than the rapidly downsizing streaming service comedy show that decided to make a few jokes about it.
