‘Last Week Tonight’: John Oliver Gets Distracted By Conan O’Brien In The Middle Of HBO Show

deadline.com:

John Oliver is usually laser-focused on Last Week Tonight dissecting the political issues that affect the world. However, things got a little out of hand when Conan O’Brien made an appearance on the late-night talk show.

While discussing the controversial political figure from Argentina, Javier Milei, Oliver showcased an interview where the Member of the Chamber of Deputies of Argentina got completely side-tracked when he saw a photo of his dog.

During an interview on a news show, photos of Milei appeared in the background and during one moment his dog Conan was featured. “There’s Conan,” Milei said, ignoring the interviewer for a moment. “Yes, it’s Conan,” the interviewer said. “It’s Conan,” Milei continued with a smile on his face completely derailing the interview.

Oliver said that Milei made himself “likable” in that moment adding, “He just got distracted by his own dog the way dogs get distracted by any squirrel.” “It’s honestly hard for me to criticize that because that’s also how I respond if I ever see a picture of — oh it’s Conan,” Oliver said as a picture of O’Brien appeared on-screen.
