On _Last Week Tonight_ several weeks ago, Oliver delivered a blistering 20-minute screed on the candidate he denounced as “America’s back mole.” Oliver attributed Trump’s success to the phonetic force of his last name, and encouraged voters to re-evaluate the business mogul by his ancestral name: Drumpf. On Monday night, Oliver told Colbert that the hats he made with the refashioned campaign slogan — “Make Donald Drumpf Again” — sold out rapidly, and that even Jay-Z’s management had called Oliver’s people to see if the artist could get a hat, for free. “I did say to be careful, because if he puts that hat on in public, we’re going to need more hats,” Oliver said. “And if his wife \[Beyoncé\] puts that hat on in public, we are no longer a TV show. We’re a hat-manufacturing company.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4258792/john-oliver-jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4258792/john-oliver-jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump/"},"headline":"This Major Celebrity Wants John Oliver's 'Donald Drumpf' Hat — for Free","datePublished":"2016-03-15T09:41:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:53:59.204Z","description":"\"If he puts that hat on in public, we're going to need more hats\"","url":"https://time.com/4258792/john-oliver-jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump/","keywords":["Television","stephen colbert","Donald Trump","John Oliver","Last Week Tonight"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4258792/john-oliver-jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump/","name":"This Major Celebrity Wants John Oliver's 'Donald Drumpf' Hat — for Free"}}]}] ```
