Why is everyone talking about John Oliver and ‘General Hospital’?

An unexpected guest appearance has become one of the soap’s biggest moments this week. Most people know John Oliver as the Emmy-winning host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight. But lately, he’s been popping up somewhere viewers never expected: daytime soap operas. After recent stints on General Hospital and Days of Our Lives, fans are calling for the comedian to make the jump from Primetime Emmys to Daytime Emmys.
