John Oliver remembers the very first time he asked a girl out on a date.
The “Last Week Tonight” star told Stephen Colbert on Tuesday’s “The Late Show” that he was drawn to a fellow classmate named Sarah Constable at age five while living in Birmingham, U.K.

Oliver told the camera, “I don’t know your current situation, Sarah, right now, but I remember you.
“When I say I remember you, I remember two accessories that you wore. If you still have those accessories that you had as a five-year-old — and even hearing this out loud I’m realizing how alarming an approach this might come across to you — please get in touch at an email I will not give right now.”
He laughed, “Sadly I’m not Mr. Constable… of course, I would’ve taken her name, are you f**king kidding me?”
Also during Oliver’s “Late Show” interview he revealed what he and his wife Kate Norley did for Valentine’s day and discussed his viola-playing days.
