Bridgerton fans were left outraged when it emerged that Regé-Jean Pagewould not appear in the Netflix show’s next season – but John Oliver insists the actor’s upcoming absence makes sense.
Oliver then quipped: “Also, you can absolutely lose the duke! It’s actually perfectly in his character to start something he doesn’t finish.”
The Last Week Tonight host brought up the news on Sunday as part of a segment on the national debt.
When it comes to the national debt, as well as Page’s exit from the show, “the truth is much more complex” than appears, Oliver said.
