After going nuclear on President Trump and Fox News’ Jesse Watters for spreading conspiracy theories about vandals harming the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and previously announcing a three-episode arc on the ABC soap “General Hospital,” John Oliver revealed on Sunday’s “Last Week Tonight” that he’ll also be appearing in a week of episodes on the NBC soap “Days of Our Lives.”

Oliver said he was “filled with scorching-hot jealousy” when he learned that ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith had made appearances as the character “Brick” on “General Hospital” for the last decade.
