John Oliver went viral after confronting Dustin Hoffman on his past sexual harassment allegations during a Q&A of the film Wag The Dog, which celebrated its 20th anniversary. Now, he spoke on The Russell Howard Hour about the experience.

“It felt unavoidable and that we had to have a discussion about it,” John explained. “It wasn’t ideal but it became such a big story — but it became about my questions rather than his answers. The questions weren’t particularly remarkable, but his answers were … not great. That was the point of it. But it didn’t really go anywhere constructive, so the whole thing just made me feel sad.”

During the confrontation, Dustin spoke on the allegations Anna Graham Hunter made against him, saying he groped her and made inappropriate comments: “It didn’t happen the way she reported,” Dustin said to John.

“It feels like dismissals or recontextualizing it is not addressing it: It doesn’t feel self-reflective in the way the incident demands,” John replied. “I get no pleasure from having this conversation but you and I are not the victims here.”
