John Oliver was asked why he picked the New York Mets over the New York Yankees when he first moved to America. He didn't mince words.

John Oliver has spoken out following the surprise cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Calling the decision “incredibly sad” and “terrible,” he expressed deep admiration for Colbert and his team.

Speaking to journalists in Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday, the host of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" said he had grown up watching U.S. late night television, adding that the cancellation was "terrible news for the world of comedy".
