Deal or no deal, Brexit is happening on March 29. And while the idea of a no-deal Brexit has always been slightly terrifying, it was just made all the more so by British comedian John Oliver.

Oliver, who appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about the return of his TV show Last Week Tonight, shared some thoughts on the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.

Asked by Colbert what no-deal Brexit actually means, Colbert delivered a pretty brutal answer.

"We'll see what it means. It's like saying to someone who has just jumped out of an airplane without a parachute 'what does this mean?'" Oliver said. "Let's hope this works out for you, I don't really see what your end plan is here."

We're so happy you're back to explain things for us, John.
