John Oliver Blasts The Royals: 'Just How Inbred IS This Family?'
|

"I think legally I can still be killed for that."

John Oliver didn't hold back as he kicked off "The Daily Show's" full-team coverage of the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton's son on Tuesday. Proclaiming "Finally, we have a member of the royal family with an actual excuse for being a toothless, petulant, useless human being..." Oliver then paused for a moment. "That one could get me into trouble back home."

You don't say?

After the multiple-part segment that skewered the royals – "Just how inbred is this family?" – the Queen herself, as well as the international obsession with the birth, we wouldn't be surprised if Oliver has some passport trouble if he tries to visit anytime soon.
