Sky attracted dozens of comments from angry fans on Twitter, with many tagging John Oliver directly. “Sky cut out your joke about the Queen last night,” one Twitter user said. “Cowards. They teased us with her picture and and truly amateurish cut.”
In HBO’s broadcast, which aired on Sunday night in the U.S., Oliver opens with a joke about the President of Chile before saying: “But obviously, we need to start with the U.K., which is clearly still reeling from the shocking death of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes,” which is followed by laughter.
“Which I guess is nice although if the world is mourning they should maybe tell the U.S. Domino’s account whose most recent tweet as of this taping is ‘if ur reading this it means u need pizza like to confirm.’” Oliver said. “Get your fucking house in order Domino’s! A LADY IS DEAD.”
