After Oliver made an attempt to confront the actor during a panel discussion he was moderating and Hoffman was on, it was visible that Oliver was dissatisfied with the response he got. Hoffman was visibly put off as well.

During THE RUSSELL HOWARD HOUR interview, Oliver stated: "It felt unavoidable and that we had to have a discussion about it, It wasn't ideal but it became such a big story - but it became about my questions rather than his answers. The questions weren't particularly remarkable, but his answers were ... not great. That was the point of it. But it didn't really go anywhere constructive, so the whole thing just made me feel sad."
