Ever since the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain at the beginning of this year, there has been a lot of discourse about new potential uses for the character. However, there are still some restrictions on the character’s usage. One celebrity looking to see how far he can take things is John Oliver, the host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight. He appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night and brought a familiar costumed friend along with him…
What’s Happening:
- John Oliver is daring Disney’s lawyers to come after him for using Steamboat Mickey to promote the 11th season of Last Week Tonight.
- Oliver appeared on Monday, February 12th’s edition of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS with Steamboat Mickey himself, and of course had some witty things to say, even goading Disney into suing him.
