John Oliver appeared on THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT last night, where the conversation naturally turned to Trump and the fact that he says he wants to talk to Mueller.

Oliver begins by saying Trump would have to "eat his way through" his lawyers' hands to talk to Mueller, and that he'd "perjure himself before finishing his name."

Colbert then turns directly to the camera and says, "I think he would do a good job, and I think he should do it."

Oliver catches onto the joke and replies, "I know I joke around a lot, Mr. President, but I also think you would do an excellent job and I too think you should do it."
