John Oliver intends on laughing well into his next chapter.
In fact, the Last Week Tonight host and his wife Kate Norley are already mapping out what the celebration will look like when his 50th birthday comes around in April.
As Norley exclusively told Keltie Knight in a joint interview with Oliver during Live From E!: 2026 Emmys Sept. 14, “It’s definitely going to involve a keg stand.”
And while the comedian hopes no one ends up with a “broken nose and face” at the soirée, he has an inkling that an injury brought on by the rager would be just his luck, jokingly predicting his tenure on one of HBO’s longest running shows may get cut short “due to a keg stand and natural selection.”
For right now, though, Oliver and the Last Week Tonight team are ushering the beloved series into its 13th year on the air. As for how that milestone feels?
“It’s amazing,” he mused. “I cannot believe we got away with it this long.”
But even with the show’s success, Oliver admitted that he sometimes feels “like an insect in this Hollywood world.”
