While talking to host Stephen Colbert, Oliver admitted that his journey to becoming a U.S. citizen has been a long time coming. "I came here in 2006 and so I've kind of been wanting this to happen pretty soon after that, so it's been over a decade," he said. He said that the process was "unbelievably tense," but added that he's "incredible relieved" to now be a legal U.S. citizen.
"It's incredibly nerve-wracking and the first question they asked me was, 'What is your phone number?' And I was so scared I forgot," he said. "She said, 'Okay, let me just check your social security number' and I went, 'I don't know what that is either. Oh, this isn't going at all well.' It was utterly petrifying."
