Everyone misses John Oliver.
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but it has been almost a month since the last episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. While it’s completely normal for talk shows to go on a brief summer hiatus, it doesn’t make it any less painful.
There’s no denying Oliver hasn’t been making the most of his well-deserved break. The comedian is living it up! He just checked off a lifelong goal on his bucket list: having a guest role on General Hospital. Even better, Oliver gets to live out every soap opera trope by receiving a dramatic slap to the face. You know what they say: If you love your job, it won’t feel like work.
