Last Week Tonight host John Oliver almost indentured himself to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
A few months ago, he made Thomas an offer: if he would resign, Oliver would give him $1 million a year until one of them died, plus a new motor home. He gave Thomas 30 days to accept.
Thomas, as we all know, is still on the Supreme Court, and Oliver admitted his relief during an appearance Monday on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
“It was both a huge relief and massively disappointing that he didn’t take it,” he told Meyers. And even though Oliver’s wife was not thrilled when he made the initial offer, he said he’d be willing to make the offer again.
“As long as he gets out before they’re doing the June decisions, I would be willing to open discussions again,” Oliver said. “If you want to get in touch and open up the negotiations again, I still have the contract in the drawer in my desk,” Oliver said. “And I’d be willing to do that. But again, until one of us dies, and hopefully that will be you.”
