John crushes it.\u201d<\/p>\n Days of Our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday, revealed in a statement that the show had to jump on the opportunity to include Oliver after he offered himself for a role. He stated, \u201cWhen John Oliver said, \u2018Call me soaps, I\u2019m available and willing to travel. I want to be a part of that world,\u2019 our world, we had to heed the call!\u201d (via Daytime Confidential<\/a>).<\/p>\n The political commentator\u2019s show, Last Week Tonight<\/a>, recently shared stills of his appearances on both soaps on Instagram<\/a>.

He said, \u201cGeneral Hospital was everything I hoped it would be. It\u2019s a true honor to be a small stain on the history of this illustrious show.\u201d<\/p>\n Oliver\u2019s appearances follow his public request<\/a> to be a part of soap operas in March.
