John Oliver, comedian and host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” on Friday said that he’s not at all interested in having Donald Trump on his show.
“I don’t really care about him in any capacity,” he said on CBS’ “This Morning.” “I don’t really have anything to say to him.”
Oliver explained that an interview with Trump would not yield anything new about the real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate.
“He’s said everything he wants to say. He has no internal monologue, that man. So it’s not like you’re going to find the secret nugget he’s been holding back. He’s an open book And that book doesn’t have that many interesting words in it,” Oliver said.
The British comedian also complained about the long presidential election and extensive coverage of the race.
“It’s very frustrating to me, the amount of coverage of the election, years — often literally years — before it happens,” he said on CBS.
Watch a clip of Oliver’s interview via CBS:
I envy our British cousins. Parliament is dissolved and 5 weeks later an election is held. The day after the election, the PM takes office. No campaigning allowed until the dissolution, either.
Is Oliver saying Donald lost his celebriginity a long time ago but retains his suppleness?
“He’s (Trump’s) an open book And that book doesn’t have that many interesting words in it,” Oliver said."
I love Oliver’s understated take on things. He has the best show that goes more in depth than 60 minutes on his main story of the night, but makes it riotously funny too.
He could be saying that Drumpf is a nugget short of a Happy meal.
Of course, no American wit would be acceptable to a large media corporation…
