Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, like so many things, took the weekend off for Memorial Day. Still, he didn’t want to leave us completely hanging, so Oliver tried his hand at predicting what would happen over this last week a week ago.

While the tensions between Ukraine and Russia should be bigger news to us, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver lets us all in on an even lesser known facet of this ordeal by Americans: The Eurovision Song Contest.

Also, Oliver does a pretty great job making fun of Putin’s new commemorative coin for Crimea. Watch it all here.

Former NSA Director To Be First Guest of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
As far as first guest choices, John Oliver and company are making a bold statement by not interviewing any of Oliver’s old friends or a big name or some cross-section of the two. Instead, Oliver is setting the tone for Last Week Tonight premiering this Sun. at HBO by having a former NSA director General Keith Alexander (Ret.) sit down and chat with him.
