John Oliver joined Late Evening With Seth Meyers on Monday and mentioned how a joke in regards to the demise of Queen Elizabeth II was censored when the newest episode of his Emmy-winning HBO present, Final Week Tonight With John Oliver, aired within the U.Okay. final week.
“All we mentioned was that Britain was nonetheless mourning the stunning lack of a 96-year-old girl from pure causes. It’s actually not a joke,” Oliver mentioned. “Scientifically, it’s not a joke. That’s only a reality with a type of d***-ish inflection, that’s all it’s.”
Oliver has by no means shied away from his disdain for the royal household. He’s mocked them over lavish royal weddings, and gone after them for the household’s alleged response to Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle. Oliver’s final look on Late Evening was quickly after the demise of Prince Philip, main Oliver to inform Meyers that any time a senior royal dies, he’ll be there to “give it the disrespect it deserves.” Oliver believes his joke being censored within the U.Okay., which airs on Sky, was ridiculous.
“They lower it out, which is fairly s****y,” Oliver mentioned. “As a result of apparently, all we’ve heard all week is the queen had the unbelievable humorousness. Simply nonstop. Oh, she was so humorous. Seth, she was so humorous. The queen, she — razor sharp.”
And Oliver took this chance to take one final shot on the queen for a sketch she did with Paddington Bear earlier this 12 months as a part of her Platinum Jubilee.
“And there she was with Paddington,” Oliver mentioned. “I’m watching a bear carry her comedically in that scene. She’s giving that bear nothing again. There may be one set of footprints within the sand, and it’s a paw. However she was an enormous comedy fan.”
Late Evening With Seth Meyers airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. on NBC.
