Deadline

“It felt like he should have been aware that he was going to have to answer to this," the Last Week Tonight host said in a press conference this morning when asked about confronting the iconic actor on the sexual misconduct allegations against him. "I’m staggered that he would think that I wouldn’t bring it up. I don’t know how little you would have to think of me.” He added: “The first person who got to talk to him was going to have to ask him the first questions about it. Unfortunately, that was me. But if it wasn’t, it was going to be someone else.” ALSO: Oliver vows AT&T's purchase of Time Warner won't change his show.
