The last time that John Oliver was on _The Tonight Show,_ he played a game called [“True Confessions” with Jennifer Lawrence](http://time.com/4346358/jennifer-lawrence-john-oliver/?iid=sr-link1) and host Jimmy Fallon. During the game, Oliver admitted something very odd, but didn’t have time to give any context or backstory. When he returned to _The Tonight Show_ on Tuesday night, Fallon demanded an explanation for why [Oliver](http://time.com/4707865/best-john-oliver-zebra-memes/?iid=sr-link2) had been ejected from a Tokyo sauna.

The answer was perhaps the most British explanation ever. “At 19-years old, I was forcibly removed from a Tokyo sauna for not being naked enough,” [Oliver](http://time.com/3981712/john-oliver-last-week-tonight-voting-rights-washington-dc/?iid=sr-link3) explained. He was touring Tokyo and had been told that many people enjoyed destination’s saunas, so he decided to give it a whirl. At the sauna, he says he was told he could be either naked or clothed. “I chose correctly, option B,” he told Fallon. However, he soon discovered that showing up in a sauna fully clothed actually wasn’t the best practice. It all went downhill from there, but Oliver wants everyone to know that those naked people did not win.

Oliver also recounted a story about his [_Last Week Tonight_ interview with the Dalai Lama ](http://time.com/4691487/john-oliver-dalai-lama-tibet-last-week-tonight/?iid=sr-link1)who got “frustrated when people take him too seriously.” To navigate the interview with the spiritual leader with a serious funny bone, Oliver tried to be respectful, but that went out the window when the Dalai Lama tickled him.
