00:00It's a painting, a very big painting of you about to go to town on a lamb chop.
00:05There's nothing like lamb chops and quarantine to bring two people together.
00:08A little over a week after John Oliver declared his love for Wendy Williams on HBO's Last Week
00:13Tonight, the daytime host invited her newest fan onto her show to chat about reality TV
00:17and munch on some more food in true Wendy fashion. Last week, Oliver praised the new
00:22Safer at Home-inspired iteration of Wendy Williams' syndicated show, now being called
00:26Wendy at Home. The host noted his enjoyment of Williams' eclectic taste in food, including
00:31eating a lamb chop on air, and even sent her a tracksuit she mentioned that she wanted.
00:36I'll be honest, I was never a regular viewer of the Wendy Williams show, but I've become a big fan
00:41of Wendy at Home. While dreams really do come true, and on Tuesday's Wendy at Home,
00:46Williams returned the love by bringing the Last Week Tonight host on as a guest. The two new besties
00:51each donned said tracksuits, as Oliver also showed off two gifts that Williams had sent him,
00:55a painting by Michael Lee of Williams holding a lamb chop, and a plate of Doritos and caviar.
01:00A favorite of hers that, yes, she encouraged him to eat with her.
01:03I don't know much about food, Wendy, but I know what I like, and I like large paintings of you
01:08eating various meat products.
01:10Oliver noted he wasn't a fan of either Doritos or caviar on their own, but nonetheless gave it a try.
01:16A flavor.
01:19It's not just one flavor, Wendy, it's almost all of the flavors.
01:21The two also discussed adjusting to a lack of privacy by filming their shows from home,
01:25to which Oliver noted that's why he films with a white background.
01:28That's why I kind of just sealed people off so that it was just, you get me and you get none of my life.
01:35Elsewhere in the episode, the two also gossiped about the Real Housewives and even made plans
01:38to meet up in person after quarantine. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
01:43For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Neha Joy.
