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.
