John Oliver, the British-American comedian who hosts HBO's "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," brings a tongue-and-cheek art show to Detroit in November that includes a painting of TV host Wendy Williams eating a lamb chop.

The show, which runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 21 at the William V. Banks Broadcast Museum at 3146 East Jefferson Ave., is part of a five-city tour. The show will donate $10,000 to each museum, plus an additional $10,000 to a local food bank. Other stops are Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore and Grand Rapids, Minn.
