John Oliver, soap star? (2026)

 John Oliver used his anchor's position on Last Week Tonight to make a public plea for an appearance on a daytime soap.

ABC & Peacock answered. CBS? Who knows?

Oliver made his soap debut Thursday on General Hospital, and will finish there on Monday. Next month, he moves over to Days of Our Lives for three episodes. E! has the scoop.


The self-deprecating humor aside, Oliver, even if it's a small sample, is a natural. I love the fact he's playing a secret agent on General Hospital. The spy game is still a thing there, 45 years later.

Bravo.
