 John Oliver on his clash with Dustin Hoffman: 'The whole thing made me feel sad'

 “It wasn’t ideal but it became such a big story,” he said. “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.” 
  
 In November, Hoffman was accused of sexual harassment by Anna Graham Hunter, who at 17 was a production assistant on the set of a 1985 TV movie, Death of a Salesman. Other allegations followed. 
  
 Hoffman, who denies all allegations against him, issued a statement in response to Graham Hunter in which he said he was sorry if “anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation”. 
  
 Earlier in December, at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, the actor appeared with co-star Robert De Niro, director Barry Levinson and producer Jane Rosenthal for a panel discussion marking the 20th anniversary of the satirical film Wag the Dog. Oliver moderated the session. 
  
  
  
 In an awkward exchange first reported by the Washington Post, Oliver raised the subject of the allegations and Hoffman’s response to them. The actor accused Oliver of putting him “on display here”. 
  
 Hoffman also said: “You have indicted me … That’s not innocent until proven guilty.” 
  
 According to the Post, the confrontation created a “testy” atmosphere in which audience members “argued volubly”. One attendee was reported to have shouted: “Move on. Let it go. Move on.” Another reportedly thanked Oliver for “believing women”. ||||| Thank you @ iamjohnoliver for confronting Dustin Hoffman.

 The statement was posted to Twitter by Anna Graham Hunter, who in a guest column in The Hollywood Reporter, accused Hoffman of harassing her as a 17-year-old intern on the set of Death of a Salesman. The letter was signed by Wendy Riss Gatsiounis, Kathryn Rossetter, Melissa Kester and Cori Thomas and two anonymous women. “We want to thank you for confronting Dustin Hoffman,” the statement read. “While the questions you asked may not have lento the constructive conversation you hoped for, the fact that you asked them at all is what matters most.” 
  
 “Women can continue to tell our stories, but ultimately, change will depend on men reflecting on their own behavior and challenging other men to do the same,” the statement concludes. 
  
 Oliver confronted Hoffman at an anniversary screening of the actor’s 1997 film Wag the Dog on Dec. 5, where he was moderating a panel discussion. Oliver asked Hoffman to comment on the allegations, before saying that the actor’s apologies came across “like a cop-out,” and didn’t “feel self-reflective in the way that it seems the incident demands.” 
  
 Oliver addressed the fraught exchange for the first time in an appearance on Sky One’s The Russell Howard Hour on Dec. 21. The host of Last Week Tonight expressed disappointment that the exchange “didn’t really go anywhere constructive” and lamented that the Internet storm that followed “became about my questions rather than his answer.” 
  
 “The whole thing just made me feel sad,” Oliver said. |||||
Solution:
Dustin Hoffman's accusers are applauding John Oliver even as the Last Week Tonight host says his confrontation with Hoffman earlier this month "failed." During an interview with Sky One on Dec. 21, Oliver said he regretted the way he handled a discussion of sexual misconduct allegations against Hoffman while appearing with the actor to moderate a New York screening of Wag the Dog on Dec. 4, per the Guardian. Hoffman, who was asked about allegations that he sexually harassed a teen on a movie set in the 1980s, said he felt ambushed by Oliver, who took some heat in the aftermath. The discussion, approved by event organizers, "didn't really go anywhere constructive, so the whole thing just made me feel sad," Oliver told The Russell Howard Hour, per the Huffington Post. Though he said Hoffman's answers were "not great," Oliver added his own questions "weren't particularly remarkable." Seven women who accuse Hoffman of sexual misconduct, however, feel differently. "We want to thank you for confronting Dustin Hoffman," the women—including the former production assistant who was 17 when she says she was harassed by Hoffman on the set of Death of a Salesman—tell Oliver in a statement posted to Twitter on Wednesday, per Time. "While the questions you asked may not have led to the constructive conversation you hoped for, the fact that you asked them at all is what matters most." The statement concludes by stressing that "change will depend on men reflecting on their own behavior and challenging other men to do the same."
