Church Bells Toll for Queen Elizabeth II Across the U.K. After Her Death: How She’s Being Honored

Zack Sharf John Oliver said on the Sept. 19 episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that it was “pretty shitty” to have his Queen Elizabeth II jokes censored by the U.K. television network Sky following the British monarch’s death. During the first episode of Oliver’s HBO show “Last Week Tonight” that aired after the queen’s passing, the host quipped that the U.K. was “reeling from the shocking death of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.” Oliver was being sarcastic, which led Sky to censor the comment from the show. “All we said was that Britain is still mourning the shocking loss — right? — of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.
