4:55 John describes his own show: "You sound calm, but the information you're giving me is haunting."
He isn't exactly calm on his own show either though... xD
@@Energya01 Yeah, but that accent sounds less upset, even when he's cussing like a sailor, than my neighbor calling her kids in for dinner.
WORD.
I was just about to comment this. John, doing what he does best: describe things in an accurate yet humorous way that leaves me with a vague sense of foreboding.
LMAO
"It was a bad year. I'm dead inside." ---> totally my sentiment
I essentially died ten years ago.
It was hell. 2021 sucked for everyone i know including myself
I died during the George W. Bush years and the so-called "weapons of mass destruction." Have never voted for another lying Republican since...... 😒😢👎
I had a really rough 2019 and 2020, after a certain point when really bad things happened I wasn't reacting much anymore, it was more of a case of well gee, I didn't expect that. I became totally numb to heartbreaking news. Inside I knew that was really unhealthy. I'll be glad when this pandemic is behind us.
Yeah, that been the last 16 months (and 5 days, but who's counting?) for me. A very bad 16 months (and 5 days, but who's counting?), and the incident that started it has, indeed, left me feeling dead inside. Well, except for the never-ending pain, that is.
I was WHEEZING at “…new letter of the Greek alphabet notwithstanding…” 😂
You might want to get tested. Shortness of… j/k
Yeah…and it went over most peoples’ heads.😆
Such a brilliant line, said in such a british way. Absolutely perfect.
@@Dan-nt2yb No Joke! I wondered how many people actually 'caught' that remark.
@@Markle2k fin jo
There really ought to be a show that's just John Stewart alumni two at a time like this.
It could be here. Samantha Bee?
@@cc1k435 I've ended up liking her a lot more than I expected. I mean, I've always liked her, but I was worried that she wouldn't be popular enough for her own show when they announced Full Frontal, but I've been pleasantly surprised and quite happy to be wrong! If she keeps it up maybe she'll end up as one of the giants of liberal comedy with John, Jon, and Stephen
@@idontwantahandlethough I felt the same way
Could pair them up by names:
Jon Stewart and John Oliver
Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell
Rob Corddry and Rob Riggle
Great idea like twice a year
As a Finnish person, I really have to thank John Oliver because half the shit I know about the United States came from Last Week Tonight. It's simultaneously so informative and so entertaining!
that's all you need, john oliver and stephen colbert. they hit all the major stuff. (you can follow news stories through youtube and get a lot, but really stephen covers that and then john covers the stuff people SHOULD know about, but DONT.)
We must seem pretty ridiculous.
@@darishopkins2573 Seriously. I would love to live in a small country that gets very little attention. Being an American these days is to be in a constant state of shame and embarrassment. Which itself is a shame, because in a non-jingoistic way, I still love my country.
@@kkpenney444 ez solution: just focus on being the kind of person you'd like the world to think all Americans are like. then you don't need to be embarrassed because you can rest easy on the knowledge that you are being the America you want to believe we can be someday and maybe are, on some level, already on the inside.
@@kkpenney444 Hey, at least we aren't Russian.
" It was a bad year, I'm dead inside"😂
John Oliver’s dimples make the world seem a happier place. 🥰🥰🥰
Yes yes yes 💜💙💚
His dimples & his deadpan deliveries have me glued to my TV during his shows.
I love how nerdy John and Stephen are together, they are hilarious!
I don't think you know what "hilarious" means.
You keep having him on, and he's gonna win an emmy for your show!
Yeah it felt like John was conducting his own interview.
I think he wins enough with his own show, and they're mostly different categories.
I think you have something there!
@@anemarisa3601 j I’m b BC
wow, I cant believe you are still going. Hope things are fairing well my old enemy.
I was standing 30 feet from an ASROC missile launch while in the Navy. I FELT every organ in my body move. I don't know what it sounded like. Good to hear from John Oliver again.
Every sentence was funny.
I love John and Stephen together.
They need to cohost ....
@@phriedokra6158 I was thinking *exactly* that. I would watch the hell out of that shit.
"It was a bad year, I was dead inside" ..... a platinum response John! LOL! 😀 Fits perfectly to describe 👌 us all I think!
They really need to number these segments. This is the first of three videos of the interview, BTW.
RIGHT? and like... why do they post them out of order? that's nuts. at least post them in order, geez
John's absolutely correct re the explosion of 2020 - "that WAS pretty cool" - it was John, it really was - I loved the first explosion - the second one was even better - cool, awesome, fabulous - one of my favorite moments on tv - (by omg 2020 *deserved* to be blown to smithereens)
It was cool, wasn't it? And awesome and fabulous as you said. I would also add cathartic. I completely agree, one of the best TV moments!
@@Laurastar2009 oh VERY cathartic - very good point - thank you!
Everyone agrees 2020 was a crappy year, yet it will always live in my heart, because there was a presidential election that Tr*mp LOST!
I loved the year 'blow ups'. Oliver put into real-time what a lot of us were feeling... no words, just BOOM.
I love it when the jon Stewart cinematic universe combines!
Can you guys after the main show just do an extended interview just riffing. It could be just for online but Steve and John together is magic.
"Hopefully we'll have an audience, new letter of the Greek alphabet notwithstanding."
I love you so much John Oliver!
There already is a new letter. Why is the audience there at all?
John waves at the audience like his mother just told him to say hello.
He's British. Emotions are not the done thing. America has changed him 😁
“New letter of the Greek alphabet not withstanding.” Did not get the laughs it deserved.
Help me out and explain the joke? I'm a little slow apparently 🙃
@@iamV10010 new strain of Covid not withstanding, since it will likely be assigned another Greek alphabet.
Such a brilliant line, said in such a british way. Absolutely perfect.
@@iamV10010 Delta and Omicron are letters of the Greek alphabet. So the show will be back as long as there’s not another outbreak this week.
@@iruxcheri aaaacckkk. I heard it. I knew there was something there. And I am sad I had to check the comments to figure it out. But thank you.
“That looks blowed up real good. And I love things that go blow up.”
“That blowed up real good”... a SCTV reference in the show! 👍
I love how it’s basically tradition now that John comes on the week before his hiatus ends
One of my favorite pairings. And John Oliver is the man.
Do you mostly watch shows run by white people?
Just give me a hour show with these two incredible nerds talking and I’ll be happy!
Same here. It's like getting an inside look into how they set up/prepare for their shows. Also, John Oliver is very quiet about his personal life. He normally doesn't talk about his family/home life at all... thus the blank, white wall behind him when he did his zoom show. Hearing about his family is pretty cool. And, I really like his sense of humor. Both Oliver & Colbert speak, in everyday vocabulary, about subjects most of us don't bother to research but should know about. Same with Trevor Noah... when he talks about stuff, I always get the feeling that he is bewildered by the fact that we don't know about the subject. I guess it's because Oliver & Noah are not USA-born & their points of reference are very different from Americans. Their deliveries are always from a different perspective & I appreciate that... how other countries look at the USA & what we do on any given day.
@@dee_dee_place I particularly like that about Oliver, keeps his family close and doesn’t talk about them often. Although, would like to see one of his little ones dressed up like a tiny little John Oliver with the glasses and suit. Lol
@@truthhurts3524 LOL.
i would watch the hell out of that. i love these two
2 men who are doing exactly what they should be doing in life. love them both
I saw Oliver at the Kennedy Center last year.
Funniest s*^t ever!
Inviting John Oliver is secretly the quickest way to get George Clooney on your late night show.
Ye, true. He need only snap of his finger.
True
Oh, snap!
SNAP...
You are soooo right, too bad he didn't snap. 🤣😂🤣😂
Amazingly, when Jon Stewart started, and these two were mere "Daily Show" "correspondents," I had a hard time telling them apart. I've Asperger's, so their voices were all that helped. Now, their reputations and bodies of work speak volumes well beyond mere surface resemblance.
i actually didn't like stephen as a correspondent. AT ALL. later, i realized it was just the cheap role they had him playing and wasn't about him at ALL. he's fantastic.
Those explosions were insanely cool, both of them. John looked like he was having the time of his life, albeit mixed in with just a touch of "this could all go horribly wrong at any moment". Excellent viewing 😂
I would “fancy a little something in there”, and I would for sure turn up to every taping ever, Mr Oliver.
You sound calm but the information you're giving is haunting. 4:53
British childhood in a nutshell.
John Oliver is always a delight.
Colberts curveball advice question had me dying. So well delivered.
the proper response is as always when an American is surprised of John Oliver's actions "I'm British"
Lol Yeah, I was think why are they surprised?
And that he's dead inside.
@@Echo81Rumple83 🤣
"I'm British, but I've had my teeth worked on!"
5:39 I thought another video of a mouse had started playing on my browser.
Love John Oliver so much. Impossible not to laugh at his jokes.
Pleased for John Oliver that he moved to the US to do his show because I got to the point where I couldn't stand Mock the Week anymore. He was OK on it but he's definitely grown in confidence over there and his material on his show is miles better than the material on Mock the Week.
Besides, Dara is brilliant.
Mock the Week is that program which you normally watch during the trip at the back of the bus.
Maybe that's because he has a room full of writers for Last Week Tonight?
And I have missed the show over the hiatus, and eagerly awaiting its return.
@@flowerpower3082 Yeah he doe have writers but he was also good himself. At least he acknowledges them unlike James Corden who is now disliked in the UK but everyone still likes John Oliver. I believe its cause he seems down to earth where as James has let it all go to his head.
@@TheStevenWhiting During lockdown James Corden his writing team were his audience once they returned to the studio and would interact with them as part of the show. Post lockdown, his head writer is on camera and he bounces off him constantly.
As for John Oliver, he wasn't a household name in the UK before he left for the US, unlike James Corden. As much as I like John Oliver, I think I would struggle to call him a household name in the UK now.
Every sentence every word from John Oliver is clever and intelligent can't to see him on Sunday
Oliver is such an amazing talent
I love LOVE LOOOOOOVEEEEEE this team. This duo. This American and British super hero of knowledge of truth of comedy gold.
Two of the coolest TV hosts ever 😎! John Oliver and Stephen Colbert are the only two I will watch. They are both incredibly funny and yet reasonably respectful towards those people who are deserving of respect. The rest are fair game and are rewarded with an awesome beat down of the most hilarious kind! 😂 👍💯✌🇨🇦🤣🤣😎
Not Seth Meyers?? His A Closer Look segments are comedic gold.
@@peterrampionclark
I agree. I love John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, but if I had to rank them - well, I'm not _going_ to rank them (but if I did, I'd probably put Seth Meyers even above these two).
They're all great, obviously. And which one I prefer probably depends on which one I'm watching at the time. :)
new letter of the greek alphabet nonewithstanding deserved ALOT more...also please come back to the bugle john, we miss you and we would ahve appreciated that one
Two comedic greats feeding off each other. Casual interviews don't get any better than this.
lmfao "comedic greats"? HAHAHAHAHAHA they are terrible. Everything they do is left wing biased and usually untrue, and the really sad fact is how many of you guys take what they say as truth or "news".
Oliver hasn't been funny since "Community? And The Late Show has been horrible since Colbert took over. Craig Ferguson is way funnier than Colbert and should have taken over the Late Show. These late night shows used to be entertaining and fun. Now it's all left wing lies and propaganda, which really took the comedy right out of them. You can tell because all they did was focus on Trump, and since he's been gone they are running out of material, which is ironic as fuck considering the moronic dipshit we currently have in office and these douche bags won't touch him with a 10 foot pole. So when you say "comedic greats" I have no clue what you're talking about because these guys thrive on hate and aren't very funny.
Love their chemistry. Do a podcast series together!
Whenever I see John Oliver, I think of Adam Driver. I loved seeing both of them together. ♥️
“…(no movies were shooting due to) ‘the thing’….” (4:06)
The genius of John Oliver in just two words!
We are all coming out of the early 2020s dead inside.
I can't think of a more magical scene than Stephen Colbert and John Oliver having a chat.
I love all the Daily Show alum! It's just joy to them anywhere, and even better when they together.
Super-fun episode! Love 'em both but I have to be in the right state of mind and energy for John Oliver cuz he can get pretty intense 🙃
John is literally one of the funniest humans ever
I love it when John Oliver is guest on the show!!!!
Gotta love John Oliver ♥
YOU GOTTA!
i absolutely love when john oliver is on! and he and stephen have such a fun friends vibe and banter. great conversations, always!!
My husband and I always watch Last Week Tonight and the Late Show together... I cannot express the frustration and anticipation of having to wait to watch this segment until he gets home.
John Oliver is the best interviewee ever!
3:34
"So, 2024, we're looking at a real big kaka-boom"
Great, can't wait.
May he explode so much more stuff in the years to come. Keep it up, Mr Oliver / near-miss Mr Constable!🙌
I’m here for Stephen’s classic SCTV reference going over everyone’s head.
4 years of Drumpf aged John 20 years .
It aged most of us... around the whole world.
In the year 2024, I can confirm we are indeed still looking at a real big "Caca BOOM!"
Why, oh mighty intern at the late show, do you upload interviews in the wrong order?
No kidding
Been watching him since he was a stand-up comedian, he's brilliantly funny and great story teller 👏🏾
My favorite John Oliver!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘
Why does John Oliver seem physically small when he is alone on camera, but massive when he is standing near Stephen?
I totally agree with your comment. I guess because his deliveries are so 'understated'. I think that's the British Way; they say outrageous stuff with a deadpan face & you think to yourself... did he really say that?
Was that a reference to SCTV's "Celebrity Blowup"?!!!!! John Candy, "Blowed up good, blowed up real good!!!!" 🤣😅
I love John Oliver. He’s fucking funny and knows what to say.
I normally don't watch the guests but I had to get a Bird Man fix 4 days early
"That looks blowed up real good, and I like things that go blowed up"
Omg Stephen you are AMAZING! I love you and so does everyone else! Your the funniest, most handsome, charming, and most intelligent man on the planet.
WE LOVE WERE YOUUUU!!!!!!
WOOOOOOO new John and Stephen content😩😩
So excited for last week tonight in a few days!!!
John Oliver + Steven Colbert = The Best
you can really never go wrong with blowing stuff up. I like the classics. :P
I never miss Last Week Tonight
"You didn't flinch!" "Yes, well, it's been a bad year and I'm dead inside." LOLOLOLOL! YES!
I cannot wait for Oliver to be back on been a loooooonnnngg couple of months
I love blowing up the year. Thank goodness we have John to do it for us!
John Oliver on Colbert - win win
So glad John is about to be back!
3:58 making spontaneous reference to Farm Film Report always adds a dash of class and sophistication to any conversation.
"It was a bad year; I'm dead inside."
I feel ya' John. Dead inside too.
I can't wait for John to come back.
Anybody else loves OLIVER?!
spam is so annoying, I've reported her, who is probably a 40 year old man, after your credit card in reality 🤭
@@shaun906 thank you! Me too.
I would have wanted to turn and look at the explosion. Thank you, Mr. Oliver, for the sacrifice for the sake of presentation.
1:47 "New letter of the Greek alphabet notwithstanding."
Why didn't that line get a laugh? 🤨 😂
That was a real Brummie “I’ll all right, there, John!” Top man.
Me: **enjoying life in general**
John Oliver: "Welcome to Last Week Tonight. Let's get right into it. Our main story tonight...."
Me: **feels need to burn down the whole damn world and start over**
"Nihilism Olympics"...a wonderful term I think I am going to steal. Thanks, Jon!
@5:31 - "That was pretty cool." Reminds of a chap who was more of an artsy type than anything else but being Dutch he performed his mandatory military service period. He was telling me all the things he didn't like about it (where as I enjoyed my 3 years for Canada) but he finally relented and smiled, "But you got to blow $#it up." I like to thing that's a universal thing.
Aaaah I love John Oliver! 👑
"How does it feel to be in front of people again?"
Well he's British. So...
Two of my favorites!
🤣🤣
happy ka-ka-boom year y'all
John Oliver has got to be one of the most charismatic and smoothly entertaining people out there. I love his show
and the dimpled smile is adorable. (and can be used with great comedic effect with some of those real zinger jokes!!)
“It was a bad year. I was dead inside.” 🤣
I love John Oliver ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Love love love John Oliver.
YAY! Finally John Oliver!
these 2 guys are the best❤
Finally, John Oliver day coming was waiting for a year.🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love the "blowed up real good" reference.
