During last night’s episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver eviscerates Fox News for their coverage of the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe. He also staged a Days of Our Lives reunion for one teen who learned English by watching the NBC soap opera.
At the beginning of the segment on the crisis, Oliver took on Fox News for a weird report on a video showing refugees chanting “Allahu Akbar” on a train. The reporter said that this was a sign that most of the refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan (all predominantly Muslim countries) are Muslims and
possibly terrorists. The on-screen headline even read “Terrorists inbound?” Oliver pointed out that this was ridiculous, especially since the video was from 2010.
At the end of the sketch, Oliver showed an interview with one lovely teen who said that she learned English just by watching Days. So, he brought EJ (James Scott) and Sami (Alison Sweeney) back for a reunion.
