- "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" tackles serious topics with a satirical spin. The show leaves his audience laughing while enlightening them about news that affects the world. On Sunday, Oliver took home the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series. Oliver joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the 2016 elections and covering current events with satire.
2:30 - No one flinched when he said "it keeps giving its gifts into our face". lol
Like John Oliver & his show! He deserved the Emmy!
He's such a good dude.
so good he is paid by hillary to spew his one sided garbage. john oliver must be delighted.
Yeah, fuck facts and make shit up! Wooo! TURD RHINO FIEND! LET'S DESTROY REASON AND RESEARCH!!! WOOOOO!!!!
Yeah, shut up.

But DRUMPF is literally Hitler.
Drumpf changed to Trump at a time in America when discrimination was a big thing, in 1885.
Leibowitz changed his name in the late 80s to obfuscate his jewish heritage- 100 years after The Donald's ancestor. Donald lived as a Trump all his life, as did his father. Mr. Leibowitz changed his name in adulthood.
Oh and Trump has Jewish grandchildren so don't call him an anti-semite.
Apples and Oranges, but morons will laugh to anything with a laugh track.
Oliver was wrong about migrants causing the paris attacks.
Oliver was wrong about importing migrants to replace the indigenous population to support pensioners.
Oliver was wrong when he cherrypicked a female disabled migrant rather than the hordes of male migrants.
Oliver was wrong when he told Slovakia that they should build mosques and let in muslim migrants.
OH BUT ITS CURRENT YEAR.
Let the racism and antisemitism flow through you, my child.

not an argument.
These people are almost impressively clueless.
I'd say Oliver and his supporters/fans are fair clueless, in the sense that they take generic leftist positions. They're what Christopher Hitchens called 'status quo leftists/liberals'.
Have you actually watched the show? They've done *some* Trump stuff, but the vast majority of the episodes examine issues that are too specific to have cookie-cutter nation-wide stances associated with them, e.g. police abuse of civil forfeitures, the legality of fantasy sports gambling sites such as Draft Kings, net neutrality, the role of newspapers in journalism, etc. It's not just shots at Fox News and Trump's hair to appease sycophants. I like Chris Hitchens too, but quoting him doesn't make you a free thinker.

'Have you actually watched the show?'
Yes, hence why I can dismantle it so precisely.
'They've done some Trump stuff, but the vast majority of the episodes examine issues that are too specific to have cookie-cutter nation-wide stances associated with them,'
Actually this isn't true, as the pieces you mentioned were based on already existing news items. Oliver and his team get all their info from other news sources, they rarely do their own research. So you're wrong.
'It's not just shots at Fox News and Trump's hair to appease sycophants.'
Yes, I know this, and in fact didn't even claim this, so nice attempt at a pathetic straw man argument. However, Trump and Fox News attacks are what his idiotic, fatuous and inane fans like the most, as one can easily tell by the whooping and cheering they do (like Maher's moronic audience)
'I like Chris Hitchens too, but quoting him doesn't make you a free thinker.'
1. It's Christopher, not Chris.
2. I didn't claim to be a free-thinker, so this is your second straw man argument.
3. I don't require your endorsement to be a free-thinker, or anything else.
Wow that's an incredibly high level of self-centeredness, even for youtube comments.
Welcome to the moldiest place on the planet mate
He is legitimately funny so much so that the hosts' answers sound dumb in comparison. And I think they (the hosts) are well aware of it, that's why they are so awkward.
upstaged on their own show lol
last time he was on, they were just as unimpressive
Well deserved Emmy, John. Congratulations.
I love john oliver I'm happy for him
Me too and I knew he'd win the Emmy!! He's so funny and so smart
I'm 99.9% sure all British people are smart
ni hghgi
Being a Brit, I'm 99.9% sure you're wrong. You think your media and political circus is in a complete mess. Come over to the UK. Rupert Murdoch decides who's going to be prime minister. It's disgusting.
last i saw a preteen boy in a suit is gonna be PM??
I appreciate that he gets asked a stupid question and bats it back with next to no pause, or seemingly. Good Job John
He deserves it. Love him
We love you John, you parrot-looking British American.
I thought it was established that he is Ratman. I'm cool with parrot-looking, but even he seems to have embraced the rat like quality of his profile.
He's a near-sighted parrot who works at a bank
John Oliver is Freaking Awesome
Am I the only one who was annoyed by the excessive camera movement during this interview?
He's so cool. And they're so lame.
happy that 2 of ny favourite shows were nominated - john oliver's and bill maher's.
Bill Maher's Real Time has been nominated like 15 times now yet has never won, his old show politically incorrect also was nominated almost ever year but never won. As much as I love Last week tonight, Bill started political comedy, still has more viewers than any other political satire show and imo is the last bastion of true debate we have in this country, even in government, he needs to be recognized for it.
Yeah but Bill Maher is pompous as hell. Literally the real life version of the classic know it all liberal. Dont get me wrong I watch his show too but an award is the last thing his giant ego needs. He's always praising himself for being the only guy who talks about muslims and climate change even though he clearly isnt. Not to mention all the self fellatio he performs about being the "first political talk show". The man is so hard to listen to sometimes.
that really doesn't matter. There is no other place where you can get uncensored true debate between both republicans and democrats. I'll never forget the episode in Washington DC where he had a former GOP nominee as well as a GOP Governor (can't remember names) but the former nominee and congressmen said there was more debate about the true issues facing America on that 30 min panel than he had seen in Congress all year because both sides refuse even talk to the other at this point.
On top of that there are no other media sources that allow these topics to be introduced usually because those media outlets themselves are owned by interests that do no want these issues discussed. So think what you want about Bill, like him, hate him, his comedy act nor his personality is what makes Real Time so valuable, its the exchange of ideas that you can find nowhere else in this day n age.
Here's a quarter, buy some taste.
He's more anti-theist which redeems him.
He TOTALLY deserves the win!!!
these questions are relatively better compared to the questions asked at the Emmys press screening.
IQ of John Oliver >>> IQ of the other 3 hosts combined.
Among the best.
is CBS the only channel to interview John Oliver?
***** Thanks
_"Please don't say they all look a like, Please don't say they all look a like, Please don't say they all look a like, Please don't say they all look a like"_
you can totally tell when john feels uncomfortable...
Has there ever been a decent morning interview with any man or woman on any channel in any country? This was just painful. All the fun, flow and charisma of a job interview.
Anybody else here after the moment of Zen on the Daily Show? I'm sorry about Charlie, I mean even legends can make mistakes, but this is so damn hilarious!
He's seems socially awkward 😂
Not that there is anything wrong with it, right?
And he is the first person to say that he is. Which is why he is so awesome. Listen to the Back Catalogue of The Bugle
So am I and I’m married to a beautiful blonde like John is!!
6:22 watch John Olivers face.
“Gift” 😂😂😂😂
What a horrible mess of an interview.
JohnOliver2016
GhhvyvSa
THAT TABLE IS A F**KING FIDGET SPINNER
News have become Entertainment and Entertainment have become News, we live in a World of Irony
Those hosts - 3-person charisma bypass
Who's the guy saying stupid stuff? Snowden doesn't want to be in Russia? Trevor Noah was fired? Please do you your research before asking question in an interview.
John Oliver rocks-hes brilliant!!!
Mr. John Oliver is representative of the world sent to the Americans to teach them Reality. Kind regards
His eyebrows are funny
I think he said himself they are like caterpillars
reframing an angry comment
haha yeah but he took it like champ :D
anyways you can't diss john like john disses john. so you know. :D he is so fun to be a fan of
Brilliant AND hilarious!
Norah O'Donnell is stunning.
Always gorgeous and intelligent
this election did a nice thing, politics finally attracts me
At the end, Gayle says Hudson's dad? Is john's son named hudson?
I think after this election Americans will collectively say "thank God, the nightmare is over... for the next four years..."
I quite enjoy trevor
He is actually good, it is just hard to remove Jon
He's alright. He has occasional decent segments. But John is just far too good. I honestly feel like he's surpassed Jon in terms of presentation.
Gail talks over John repeatedly. :-P
Gale, I love that dress!!!!!
This guy is awsome. I'm going to make a video. John Oliver vs Jon Stewart.
TMW Charlie Rose straight up fires Trevor Noah on live television.
should apologize to Trevor...
why?
And to Snowden
Its weird seeing Charlie Rose now.
charlie rose is the new reagan. his senility is difficult to watch
rip trevor noah
What you do with Gooooo?
5:00 did he said Quagmire?
Yeppers....
Seth MacFarlane didn't make up that character's name, you know. It's an actual word in the dictionary that existed long before Family Guy did.
Do the people asking him questions listen to each other's questions? They sound like they are asking questions randomly.
I like him more in the office and Austin Powers.
Yay.. an award voted on by his peers.... **Fart noise**
I believe larry wilmore just didn't get huge ratings and was let go.
Plus his horizon wasn't as far and wide as Trevor or Stephen
He just wasn't good. I honestly found his jokes dreadful. But the thing that ruined him was the Mars episode featuring Bill Nye. Pandering to anti-intellectuals when your audience happens to be pro-intellectualism sent his ratings into free-fall.
8/10
We live in a world where John Oliver gets awards for what he calls his show
maybe becoz people love his show? Just becoz u don't like it doesn't mean u have to be jackass
what would you consider a show ? Tomi's garbage or O'Reilly hate speeches ?
Sad, ain't it? He's a fucking walking talking cliche'
The truth upsets stupid people.
Colbert Report
Oh for Christ's sake John, did you fix your teeth??! What the fuck, man???
I noticed that because as a fellow British, I also have the same set of teeth he used to have.
Don't judge until you are on TV regularly and getting constant feedback about your British teeth.
The Dental work was probably paid in full by HBO so why not?
It's almost as if he were from a different country.
he went one further than snowdon tho. thats right, the fudging dalai lama😎
why are they still asking about Snowden? they did it last time, no?
John Oliver, the New World Order's favourite Comedian
What was the training routine of the illegal immigrant kicked out five times out of our country that killed Kate Steinle Stephen?
the least hardworking man in show business (i love him!)!
Lol, I hope Trevor Noah didn't watch this.
People still dislike, mostly because Jon's gone
I think Trevor already knows its not working out. He is just not invested in the political stuff and it shows. With Stewart you could feel the passion and knowledge, with Trevor he just reads stuff others tell him without any real caring about the subjects and how they impact Americans. The idea that a South African with no clue about the details of the political system and its players would be a good fit in a show mostly revolving around American politics was always dumb.
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 This didn't age well.
@@nightpicnic very true. He might not be at John level, but much to my surprise he survived
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 Haha! Personally, I think they are just different. Love them both. If you watch Trevor's Behind the Scenes or his consistent coverage during the height of the BLM protest, his insight is always profound. And he gives a perspective that is important and refreshing to hear. John is wonderful too but a completely different format of a show. But to each their own. Cheers!
Charlie Rose needs to retire he barely opens his eyes
charlieie should just leave cis's man at petrol b s john said they don't get the news out
we see through the game
2:40 Past-John is lacking critical information on HOW BAD of a job America did on that election...
First :)
All h did was take mock the week, attitude to politics, a show e appeared on in the UK and put on US TV. We have far better exponebts of this type of comedy in the UK than John Oliver who roundly failed on mock the week .
what did America do to his teeth?
lol I remeber when he had those busted snaggle teeth on Community...adorable
#awkard interview !
#JillStein2016
Not going to happen
Abdullahi Ali at least im not voting for a criminal or a bigot idiot.
+HelloMyNamelsBanana I'm not bashing you, its just that it isn't likely that third party would win.
Abdullahi Ali yeah I know it would take a miracle but thats the only reason I'm voting for her. I'm not expecting her to win at all but at least I kept my moral values even if she doesn't win; you know?
+HelloMyNamelsBanana I get you. The two party system is garbage.
Nice job guys we f*cked up our country. Wait it hasn't been decided yet? VOTE FOR GOD SAKES!
The many tank simplistically hum because retailer additionally detect across a vacuous hubcap. scared, synonymous engine
John Oliver is who again?
It's the "current year" guy, though that may be Justin Trudeau. Eh whatever, they're both rats anyeays.
ye British bruh?
He's the guy on the video you clicked on and are now commenting on.
The same guy who won this years Emmy again.
Patrick Bateman and this one’s as well :D
Store bought parrot
annoying
Trevor should go, my cat has a better sense of humor.
propaganda promoting propaganda
You're Trumpie or Bernie?
sounds like a trumpie
Back in the basket!
GO FK YOURSElf . if you thinnk sounday morning cbs is a propaganda ...where where you .. I know .. you had to try 365 times to find an 'anonamous name .. you twak .
I’d only they had fired Trevor Noah he’s sullied that place.
President Trump seems to be the only one doing his job in Washington. It's time to point out who is not doing their jobs so, looking back on the overall attitude of the whole country I will rebuke: The Governors, State Representatives, State Senators, City Mayors, and Township officials. None of which can even stand up in defense of the President while all the fanatics and communist media were calling him bad things? I thought you all stood behind the office of President? This is how your political front shows who the real racist are. You defend UN Charters, Globalization, even Global warming but, you do not stand up in defense to the only one trying to protect the middle class the White and Blacks who put you in office? We may be a dying breed but, we pay the taxes everybody has their hand out for. We are white and proud of it. We are Blacks and proud of it. We are men and women who work in factories, on farms, and all over this country. Whatever we spend in Washington DC will mostly come from us. We pay for the schools to teach hatred of white people just to make everyone else feel comfy in their own racist skins. we let them teach socialism even though we are a Capitalist society because there is no better system in the world. We support our President especially when he if fighting to protect this country. You think only the poorest people vote? If you were Just Elected President and all heck broke loose wouldn't you want some backing from all the politically elected folks who, above all others with a constant hand out to the Federal Government, should be first to defend an office of government. It's time to end all racist based policies and appeasements now you get to work and serve the American People without Elites, Racist Hate, or any other Media tool. I see by the lousy way you run schools, fix roads, and stand down when it's time to make a stand that you actually hate the middle class I say," This is why we cannot have a Federalist system of state government only, you hate your own citizens of your state for the stupidest reasons. Skin color in 2017 please how out of touch are you elected officials." Signed concerned about the trash we have in State and City office's common everyday American.
I like the guy and appreciate his intelligence but to claim the skittles and peanuts comments don't make any sense is something less than honest. He may disagree and may even have a weak argument that they are offensive, but they make perfectly logical sense in a profound manner.
It's an issue of probability. Finding one of 3 poisonous skittles in a handful of them from a bowl is pretty probable. Finding one of the 3 bad ones in a handful from an Olympic-sized swimming pool full of them is incredibly improbable. Given the number of refugees, the probability is closer to the swimming pool analogy than the bowl.
+Chris D the sample size isn't really the point of the argument , nor were exact or precise statistical probabilities. Only that the probability would be sufficient to make one think twice before eating. They weren't meant to be examples of exact correlation but only loose based analogies to make a point.
Of course he was well aware of that , yet pounced on them as illogical for political effect, which I find a bit disingenuous. At least that's my impression. I could be wrong.
quin bagwell Sure, Oliver took it to a comedic extreme for comedic value. He's a comedian, not part of someone's presidential campaign. As for thinking twice, refugees already have an almost 2-year process to go through to get in here. To me, that qualifies as thinking twice. I'm not gonna beat Trump, Jr up a great deal, but the picture he painted with that is intentionally misleading. But, I too could be wrong.
+Chris D OK then, we'll call it comedy and let it go at that. Trump's analogy was exaggerated for sure , and Oliver is truly one of the funniest people on TV today , anyone who can make people laugh who disagree , is obviously a very talented and funny individual. I don't believe I'm wrong about that. ☺
Tell the people the truth, but make them laugh... or theyll kill you..
I once heard..
