YOUTUBE The HBO host pointed out that it seemed to him people were trying to not speak ill of the dead at first, but that faded away when some were too complimentary of the late prince. John Oliver dropped by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday, where he could not help himself when discussing the recent death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Asked by Meyers about his reaction to the news, English-born Oliver pretended to be solemn, saying, "It's difficult when a 99-year-old with such a checkered moral history leaves us. It's hard to know exactly how to feel or, indeed, to actually articulate how you actually do."
