It’s know been released that John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight, will be joining the upcoming live action remake of The Lion King as the voice of Zazu, the uptight type-A bird who acts as advisor to Mufasa and Simba.

As reported on the Wrap, Oliver has voiced characters before for the Smurfs movies, The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, and Bob’s Burgers. 

Director Jon Favreau is overtaking the CGI project, and from all the hype it’s getting, it looks like it’s going to be one of epic proportions.
