On Friday, Paris suffered the deadliest attack on French soil since World War II. On Saturday, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by three teams and claimed at least 129 lives. Like SNL, Last Week Tonight opened with a hastily written acknowledgment of the attacks—one that many viewers will find cathartic. John Oliver took advantage of HBO’s liberal profanity policy and delivered the colorful rant we all needed: ||||| John Oliver is a new dad! 
 
 A rep for the Last Week Tonight host confirms to ET that the British comedian and his wife, Kate Norley, welcomed a baby boy. 
 
 Oliver and Norley wed in 2011 after first meeting while Oliver was covering the 2008 Republican Convention for The Daily Show. Norley is an Iraq War veteran who worked as a medic in the Army.

 In the past, Oliver has used his HBO show to address the United States' policy on maternity leave. The host takes issue with the fact that only women who have been employed full-time for more than one year at a company with at least 50 people are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. 
 
 "What that means is that 40 percent of workers are not covered under the federal law," Oliver stated. "So if a worker with no paid leave goes into labor at work, she better hope it's on her lunch hour and that her co-workers don't mind if the break room gets a bit messy."

 Thankfully for Norley, she's now enjoying a slower pace of life. After Oliver popped the question in 2010, Norley opened up to People about how her life had changed since her time on active duty. 
 
 "Right now it's nice that I get to spend time with the love of my life," she said.
– John Oliver really made use of "HBO’s liberal profanity policy" Sunday night on Last Week Tonight, as Slate puts it. The host, who became a new dad just days ago, opened his show with a discussion of the Paris terror attacks, and he did not hold back. "It's hardly been 48 hours, and much is still unknown, but there are a few things we can say for certain," he said. "And this is when it actually helps to be on HBO, where those things can be said without restraint. Because, after the many necessary and appropriate moments of silence, I'd like to offer you a moment of premium cable profanity." Then he let the F-bombs fly: "First, as of now, we know this attack was carried out by gigantic fucking assholes," he continued. "Unconscionable flaming assholes, possibly working with other fucking assholes, definitely working in service of an ideology of pure assholery. Second, and this goes almost without saying, fuck these assholes. Fuck them, if I may say, sideways. And third, it is important to remember, nothing about what these assholes are trying to do is going to work. France is going to endure. And I'll tell you why: If you're in a war of culture and lifestyle with France, good fucking luck." The entire rant is here.
