Funnyman John Oliver turn into embroiled in a bizarre spat with Ron DeSantis when the comic called out the Florida governor for his pronunciation of Thai food.
De Santis is claimed to be livid with Oliver after he revealed on a late-night talk show that as a younger man, the politician would purposely mispronounce Thai food as “thigh food” in order to check his potential dates.
On Late Night With Seth Meyers the forty five yr old British-born comic and TV host said…
“Yes, that was his approach on the relationship scene.
“He would mispronounce ‘thigh food’ and await his date to react. And apparently, if she corrected him, he would finish the date because he didn’t wish to be corrected.
“We reached out to search out out, like, is that this true? If not, please do deny it, as a end result of it feels really true. It feels so emblematic of you as a human being. If you didn’t do it, arguably you must have done. It would have made extra sense of who you are.”
Oliver had earlier tried to carry DeSantis to account in one of his investigative tales at the start of the month. He highlighted a number of his policy failures and his unwillingness to reply questions from the press, amongst many different issues.
The 44 yr old politician ghosted Oliver for about a month earlier than calling the comedian “irrelevant.”
The self-deprecating Oliver took the insult in good fun.
“It’s Little-known . It may be the very first thing he’s mentioned I’ve agreed with, to be honest. I mean, also, it’s slightly wealthy, because we reached out to him within the advance of that piece … we had pages of questions for him and he ghosted us on all of them. So yeah, his response was literally irrelevant because he didn’t f**king present one.”
Oliver additionally had a pop at the Oscars in which he explained precisely why he thought Jimmy Kimmel was perfect for the function and why he would by no means host the extravaganza.
“I don’t assume it would be a web profit for anyone involved.
“The beauty of Kimmel is that he’s obviously humorous. But additionally, you’re confident that there’s this low-lying contempt for the entire event.
“He by some means doesn’t handle to poison the room with that visible contempt, and that could be a sort of magic trick I couldn’t do.
“I couldn’t, at any level, say, ‘It’s going to be a magical evening.’ I’d say, ‘It’s not though, is it? These are some of the most over-praised folks on Earth, and we’re going to give them shiny trophies like they’re canine.’”
