John Oliver fans can soon see him far from his desk on Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, as he has taken on a very different screen role: guest-starring on General Hospital for a three-episode arc.

That’s right, the Emmy-winning late-night host will be dropping in to Port Charles for the episodes airing July 2, 3, and 6, and the host announced that new role on the June 28 episode of Last Week Tonight.

Why do I have the distinct suspicion John is playing "Z"?? LMAO.

"John Oliver is going to be at my disco tonight!"

I find him tedious most of the time but this is fun stunt casting, what something like Franco should have been back in the day.

Yeah, my tolerance for his show is limited at this point but he is a funny guy and it's a fun choice IMO.

I have no idea who this guy is.

He's a British exodus from the Daily Show who yells a lot.

Why did I know that after his plea GH would be the soap with the initiative to get this done?
