John Oliver, host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” is guest starring on ABC daytime drama “General Hospital.” Multiple outlets report that Oliver will appear in a three-episode storyline set to air on July 2, July 3, and July 6. Variety and TVLine say Oliver announces the casting during an episode of “Last Week Tonight” that airs June 28, following earlier comments in which he expressed interest in being cast on a soap opera. The Hollywood Reporter and Los Angeles Times describe the guest role as fulfilling a long-requested wish, noting that Oliver had previously pleaded for a part on the long-running series. “General Hospital,” which is based in the fictional town of Port Charles, incorporates Oliver’s appearances into its ongoing narrative through the specified multi-episode run. The reports consistently frame the role as a daytime expansion of Oliver’s work in late-night television, with no additional casting details beyond the three-episode participation and the airing dates.
