Who the fuck are they hurting?“Watching the conversation around this, it is hard not to feel like, to the extent that there is any social contagion here, it is among adults who have whipped themselves into such a frenzy that they can find themselves repeating some humiliating nonsense.”Holy shit pic.twitter.com/jAxYqytO8M— Ari Drennen (@AriDrennen) October 17, 2022Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs Sunday nights and can be watched on Binge. © Star Observer 2022 | For the latest in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTIQ) news in Australia, be sure to visit

censored by British broadcaster Sky, a decision Oliver slammed.During Sunday’s episode of his show — which took home the 2022 Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series — the British comic didn’t pass up another opportunity to take aim at the monarchy in the form of comedy.In his monologue, Oliver blasted President Joe Biden for saying the COVID-19 pandemic was “over.”Calling Biden’s announcement “irresponsible” and “complete bulls–t,” Oliver said “you can’t just declare something and make it a reality.”“If I declared, ‘The Queen is alive,’ that doesn’t make it true. We all know she’s in the afterlife right now looking up at Diana,” he said.During an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” last week, Oliver said it was “s–tty” to have his speech about the late Queen censored in his homeland.“All we said was that Britain is still mourning the shocking loss – right? – of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.

Jimmy Kimmel is no longer vacillating.

John Oliver was a bit puzzled that his reference on HBO’s Last Week Tonight to the “shocking” death of Queen Elizabeth II was censored by Sky television in the UK. Or at least that’s what he told Seth Meyers last night on NBC’s Late Night.

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. It’s literally not a joke,” Oliver told Seth Meyers about the censorship. “Scientifically, it’s not a joke. That’s just a fact with a kind of dick-ish inflection, that’s all it is. And yet they cut it out, which is pretty shitty because apparently all we’ve heard all week is the queen had this incredible sense of humor. Just nonstop. Oh, she was so funny. Seth, she was so funny. The queen, she was razor sharp.”
