John Oliver would like to have covered the story of "unruly tourists" during the break of "Last week tonight"

Last year, John Oliver, the host of last week, revealed that he wanted his show not to be paused during the saga of "unruly tourists" in New Zealand.

As he prepares to begin the sixth season of his HBO show, he admitted that the program, broadcast every Sunday in the United States every Sunday, means he is always "late for everything."

The series has been on hold for four months now and, with such coverage of political news in the United States, what he would have liked to cover has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

At a media breakfast in New York Monday, Oliver was asked about the news that had caught his attention during the break.

"The most honest answer to that is that there was the story of a British family terrorizing New Zealand, did you hear about it?", He said. .

"There was a British family of tourists terrorizing New Zealand, and [executive producer] Tim Carvell and I exchanged e-mails by saying, "Actually, I would like us to be back to work." But all the other stuff that was not that? No, we were more than happy [to skip it].

"We had a few weeks off during the holidays, but otherwise we worked all the time looking for stories, so there is nothing particularly painful for which we did not not been on TV, British family in New Zealand, "he added.

"It's definitely worth watching, it's pretty amazing." I was really disappointed not to be around to show people what was going on there. "

The sixth season of Last week tonight premieres on HBO on February 17th.
