Piers Morgan Makes Dean Cain Watch John Oliver Segment Ridiculing Him as a Nobody
Piers Morgan made actor Dean Cain sit through a segment of Last Week Tonight in which host John Oliver mocks him during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
In the episode that dropped Monday, Cain watched as Morgan played several clips of Oliver ridiculing the former “Superman” actor for joining U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“On the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are fucking zero!” mocked Oliver. “You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood. If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are fucked! I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people, I’m just saying when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter, and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble.”
Morgan questioned, “So, has Dean Cain misjudged the public mood here, or is he the hero America needs? … Dean Cain, your response first of all to John Oliver’s attack?”
“Why does John Oliver hate dogs?” replied Cain before bursting into laughter. “So I did a lot of dog movies. Yeah, I’ve done over 200 movies. You know, I’ve done tons of films and thousands of hours of television. Um, John Oliver is making a point, I guess, that I’m 59 years old and I’ve joined ICE.”
He added:
Go ahead and denigrate my career, which is weird, it’s an odd thing to do, but what I’m doing is I’m standing up for the men and women of ICE. I’m a sworn deputy sheriff, I’m a reserve police officer, I have been for almost a decade now, and our ICE agents are being vilified, they’re being attacked, they’re being doxed, and they’re out there trying to do their job. They’re doing the job that the American people hired them for, that Congress wrote the laws for, they’re doing it very, very well, and I stood up there, I did a recruitment video for them, everybody thought that I actually joined ICE, and then after the hullabaloo I spoke with some ICE officials and I said, “You know what, why not swear me in? Let’s do this,” and I’m 100% proud to stand with our agents of ICE. I love these people. They’re wonderful men and women and husbands and fathers of every ethnicity, every race, every background. We’ve had over 100,000, or close to 100,000 applicants now. I’ll happily take the jibes of John Oliver.
Cain concluded, “You can make the cheap jibes, and it’s funny, and Bill Maher did it and a couple of our congressmen did it too, but you know, the fact that I’m being pilloried or attacked for joining up with a federal law enforcement agency is insane. I did it to protect Americans and men and women of ICE.”
