John Oliver has debunked a bizarre viral post claiming that former Filipino president Ferdinand Marcos met Michael Jordan when he was a child.
Oliver joked: “That is the single dumbest story involving a young Michael Jordan I’ve ever heard and I have seen Space Jam.”
During Sunday (8 May) night’s episode ofLast Week Tonight, Oliver discussed misinformative Facebook posts regarding the country’s late former president.
One of the more bizarre posts claimed that Marcos was visiting Wilmington, North Carolina in 1969, when he gave food to a young Michael Jordan, who was begging for food, telling him: “Bring this with you child, someday you will grow up to be someone important”.
