Stephen A. Smith may be known in the sports world as a broadcaster, host, and former basketball player. However, on the hit ABC soap, fans know him as Brick, Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) go-to fixer.
It turns out that Oliver recently learned of Smith's time on the soap and was inspired to snag a role on a daytime drama as well. The Late Night with John Oliver host used his late-night HBO show to make a plea to the powers at any of the five soaps to make it happen.
Oliver even showed he would not disappoint with a temporary transition into the soap world by recreating one of Smith’s shootout scenes on General Hospital.

Oliver has no preference for which show; he simply wants his shot on the soap screen.
