John Oliver returned to the “Last Week Tonight” desk Sunday night and, before his big story on generic drugs and national drug shortages, launched into what he called the “pretty corny” scandal that has ensnared Kimberly Guilfoyle.
But the big news came at the very end of the show when Oliver, after trolling Liberty Mutual’s mascot Liberty Biberty with outrageous fanfiction images, declared: “I’m excited to be part of the Skydance family! I hope you guys are happy with what you bought! We’ll never change!”
As for Guilfoyle, according to text messages obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Eric Deters, a Trump donor who unsuccessfully ran for governor of Kentucky, alleges that Guilfoyle — a former Fox News personality who dated Gavin Newsom And Donald Trump Jr. – begged her to pay her $100,000 American Express bill just days before she was confirmed as Trump’s U.S. ambassador to Greece.
“Honey, please,” she begged him in the posts.
Cue Oliver: “Okay, first of all, this text is something: ‘Honey please send a hundred thousand dollars to my credit card and honey don’t go on the news later to talk about it, and pumpkin, please send a hundred thousand dollars to Sephora, I need a new tub of charcoal eyeliner. My style icon is a raccoon. Praying hands.’
Guilfoyle is currently the Trump-appointed U.S. ambassador to Greece, and Oliver argued that it was “still strange” that she got the job since she is best known for a particularly embarrassing moment at the 2020 Republican National Convention, where she threw her hands in the air and wildly declared, “The best… is yet… to come!”
“It’s just too much there,” Oliver cracked, mentioning Guilfoyle’s “cocaine eyes” and “Evita’s arms,” adding, “She’s about to turn into a flock of crows.” Deters said he came forward because Guilfoyle allegedly made him a bunch of promises in exchange for the $100,000, including getting him an interview on Fox News and “giving Kid Rock the song I wrote.”
“Wait!” Olivier exclaimed. “Do you know how bad it is does a song have to be for it to not be good enough for Kid Rock? The guy who wrote a song featured in the children’s movie “Osmosis Jones” in which he sang: “Young girls, young girls / I like them underage, you see / Some say it’s statutory / But I say it’s mandatory.” He sang this song (called “Cool, Daddy Cool”) in a children’s movie! You know it’s bad when you have the scariest song on an album that also features R. Kelly.
