John Oliver's Quirky and Funny Facts

John Oliver is a British-American comedian, writer, producer, and political commentator best known for his Emmy-winning HBO show Last Week Tonight. Here are some 'fried facts' (fun, quirky, or surprising tidbits) about him:

1. He Once Legally Married a Pumpkin

On Last Week Tonight, Oliver conducted a mock wedding between himself and a crème brûlée pumpkin to protest absurd marriage laws. A real officiant presided, making it technically legal (though not legally binding).

2. He Was Almost Deported from the U.S.

Oliver’s visa issues in 2013 nearly got him kicked out of America while hosting The Daily Show. Jon Stewart 'saved' him by writing a fake children’s book (Oliver Twixt) to pressure lawmakers—which worked!

3. His Show Bought $15 Million of Medical Debt—Then Forgave It

In 2016, Last Week Tonight bought and erased nearly $15 million in medical debt for about 9,000 people to demonstrate how cheaply debt collectors sell overdue bills.

4. He Voiced a Smurf in a Movie… Reluctantly

Oliver played Vanity Smurf in Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), later joking that he only did it so his son could see him in a movie before realizing 'Daddy’s job is weird.'

5. He Has a Rat Erotica Book

To troll Mike Pence’s reported fear of gay rats, Oliver published A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, a parody children’s book about a gay rat’s romance. It outsold Pence’s real book on Amazon.

6. He Was a Muppets Fanatic

Oliver loves the Muppets so much that he had Last Week Tonight sponsor a Sesame Street segment ('Our Great American Bread') and even got to meet his idol, Kermit the Frog.

7. He Briefly 'Ran' FIFA

In a satirical segment, Oliver declared himself president of FIFA (soccer’s scandal-plagued governing body) and 'moved' its headquarters to a Colorado Taco Bell.

8. He’s a British Citizen Who Loves America (But Roasts It Constantly)

Despite his relentless critiques of U.S. politics, Oliver became a U.S. citizen in 2019, calling it 'the greatest country in the world… to make fun of.'

9. He Owns a Wrestling Belt

After covering the financial struggles of wrestlers, Oliver was gifted a custom championship belt by wrestling legend Vince McMahon—who then hilariously attacked him on WWE TV.

10. His Show Once Bought a Church

To highlight televangelists exploiting tax loopholes, Last Week Tonight purchased a small church in Texas and declared it a 'church of perpetual exemption.' The IRS later shut those loopholes.

John Oliver’s blend of sharp satire, activism, and absurdity makes him one of TV’s most unique voices. Want more deep-fried Oliver trivia? Just ask!
