It is no secret that donald trump hates late night television and its hosts. But how do they feel about him? Well, we know they hate him just as much.
Out of all of the hosts, he hates Jimmy Kimmel the most, and yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, his “competitors” Seth Meyers and John Oliver said that they are fine with that. In fact, Oliver said, “We are fully supportive. Fully behind you. The way we are fully behind a bulletproof vest.”
Kimmel asked his guests why they think that is. Meyers’ theory is that potus wants to hang out with Kimmel. However, he thinks that he and Oliver are dorks.
Kimmel has his own theory. He thinks that the president doesn’t have HBO and Late Night is on too late at night to watch. Thus, why he gets the brunt of trump’s hate.
Why do you think Kimmel is his target over the other two? I think he is afraid of Oliver because he is wicked smart. And he is thankful to Meyers because he hosted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he decided to run for president.
To the news agency that invited trump to that, I have two words for you, they are fuck and you. You are responsible for all of this. I hope you don’t sleep at night or day.
I will end on a happier note. I love that this group of late night hosts all get along. It is refreshing after the David Letterman/Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno years.
Back in March, John Oliver pleaded with Soaps Operas for a role on one of their shows, and two of them took him up on his offer, even with his requirements.
The host of Last Week Tonight had three requirements. He wanted a ridiculous name, a dramatic close-up of his face, and a juicy storyline.
General Hospital was his first Daytime Drama appearance, and today, he ended his three-episode run with a bang, or should I say SLAP? Therefore, Z, I mean Oliver, got what he wanted.
As did the Republicans, because you know they have been wanting to do that to him for years.
BTW I wonder who enjoyed the slap more, Laura Wright or Oliver. I think it was a tie!
In March, John Oliver made a plea on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver to all of the American Soap Operas that he wanted to appear on one of their shows. Well, as soon as General Hospital and Days of Our Lives heard that, they called his people and made him a deal he could not refuse.
Yesterday, he made his debut in Port Charles, and it is better than anything any of us could imagine. And that was only the first of the three episodes he will be appearing in.
Actually, I need to take back what I said about it being better than anything we could have imagined. Nancy Lee Grahn, who just signed on to play Alexis Davis for three more years, had her own ideas for what he could do on the show that she has been on for almost 30 years. To hear what she had planned for him, then click here!
Before John Oliver covered how bleak things are in our house on Last Week Tonight, he guest starred on Bleak House. He looks the same now as he did when he was 7 in that 1985 episode.
John Oliver has been hosting Last Week Tonight since 2014, and he has brought a lot of drama to late night television. However, this Summer he will be seen when the sun is out on not one, but two Daytime Dramas.
Back in March, the host made a plea that he would like to appear on a Soap Opera. However, he had some requirements for his role. They are: he wanted a ridiculous name, something juicy to do, and a dramatic close-up of his face.
That seems pretty reasonable. Therefore, the Emmy winner announced on LWT yesterday that General Hospital and Days of Our Lives took him up on his offer.
That’s right, all but the CBS Soaps jumped at the offer! So starting on July 2nd, you will see him in Port Charles, and on August 11th. he will find himself in Salem.
While the details about his roles are being kept hush, he did share photos from each show yesterday. Both hair departments decided to make his salt-and-pepper hair all pepper.
GH Executive Producer Frank Valentini said this about the casting, “When John Oliver publicly threw down the gauntlet and said he wanted to appear on a soap, we didn’t hesitate for a second. He was everything you’d hope he’d be: prepared, professional, funny, and genuinely kind to everyone on set. He plays an integral character in the story, and I can’t wait for fans to see who he crosses paths within Port Charles.”
When it comes to Days, Oliver taped his guest spot earlier this month. “When John Oliver said, ‘Call me soaps, I’m available and willing to travel. I want to be a part of that world,’ our world, we had to heed the call!” shares Executive Producer Ken Corday.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if both shows landed him Daytime Emmy nominations, and he had to compete against himself for the statuette?
