When John Oliver announced on Sunday<\/a> that he’d soon be guest-starring on Peacock’s Days of Our Lives<\/a><\/em> and ABC’s General Hospital<\/a><\/em>, conspiracy theorists wondered whether he’d tricked each soap into thinking he was appearing exclusively on theirs.<\/p>\n

Gold Derby has discovered that wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n

Sources at both long-running programs exclusively confirmed that they were aware Oliver was double-dipping. And there is nothing but love between the rival networks. “We appreciate the support for the genre \u2014 it is great for everyone,” a person with knowledge of the situation told us.<\/p>\n

“What is funnier than being in one soap opera? Being in two!” the comedian said on Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
