John Oliver is set to join Team Married. 

The Daily Show correspondent is engaged to his girlfriend of two years, Iraq War vet Kate Norley, according to People

While Oliver revealed his engagement Saturday at Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars autism benefit, the 33-year-old British-born political comedian actually popped the question to Norley back in July during their summer getaway in St. Thomas. 

The couple began dating after meeting at a 2008 Republican National Convention, which Oliver was covering.  

"It's the most emasculating thing I could possibly do to go out with someone who has actually done something valuable with their life," Oliver jokingly told People of his ladylove. 

The couple hasn't set an exact date for the wedding yet, but plan to tie the knot next year.
