John Oliver’s absence is felt by everyone.
It might sound surprising, but nearly a month has slipped by since we last saw an episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Although it’s routine for talk shows to take a summer break, that does little to ease the viewers’ longing.
Throughout this well-earned hiatus, Oliver certainly hasn’t been idle. The comedian has been savoring some personal milestones, including fulfilling a lifelong ambition by guest-starring on General Hospital. Adding to the excitement, he even experienced the classic soap opera drama of being dramatically slapped. As they say, when you love what you do, it never feels like work.
Yet, with Oliver’s return looming, fans await with bated breath for the show to hit the screens once more. With the treasure trove of news from the past month, there’s anticipation in the air.
