"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver opened last night's show with a brief address concerning the attack that claimed upwards of 50 lives at a gay nightclub in Orlando over the weekend.

"And in Orlando ... the gunman attacked a Latin night at a gay club in the theme park capitol of the world," he continued. "And for the record, I will happily embrace a Latin night at a gay club at the theme park capitol of the world as the ultimate symbol of what is truly wonderful about America."
