I can’t believe they picked my question! I know it wasn’t very funny but I know how much Liverpool means to John, and I wanted to hear how he felt when they won. He gave such a great response!
Well done on the question!
👍🤗😊👍😷✌👍
Thanks for asking. I was hoping there’d be a Liverpool question considering they’re both fans!
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
Do all Americans pronounce premier like this?
I could watch hours of those two just having a chat. Or, better yet, listen to a podcast of them. That would be amazing
@HBO @Sky hint hint
YESSSSSSS
It is one of the few situations where I would prefer listening to reading.
I think they had a podcast together. I don't remember the specifics but i do remember they do had a podcast together and ot was hysterical. (someone recommended starting at ep 250)
I would totally pay for that. Omg it may be the only podcast I want more than “Troy and Abed in the Morning” Honestly it’s a tie, Danny Pudi and Donald Glover vs John Oliver and Russel Howard. That’s a really hard choice of which one I’d want to wish into existence. Hmmmm 🤔
"It's hard to now watch Paw Patrol with you and not see systemic flaws in there"
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
Love the honestly of that line!
Another great show title. Flaws in Paws
"systemic paws"
@FAQX _ You're right, you're so right.
Russel’s mother is hands down the MVP of this video - her horrifying question, her wholesome expression... **chef’s kiss**
That's not Russell's mother. That some random lady.
@@TheKpnair that is his mum
@@TheKpnair that is his mum, the wonderful Ninette, she's amazing
@Trevor Horton bloody auto correct lol cheers
That almost ASMR voice👌🏽
"Negativity."
"Uhm. You're their dad?"
Killed me. These two have such fantastic chemistry. I love Russell by himself but when he's with John or with Greg Davies or with similar folks, it just explodes. Thank you for the laughs during these tough times man
I discovered UK quiz shows a few years ago - changed my life. :D
That was my favorite!
“An Ellen figure.” omg
I almost did a spit take....brilliant
He does look like her lost twin...
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
If the haircut fits, wear it!
@@iluvdissheet I feel out of it: what is an Ellen figure?
It's a nice touch that they're friends and they have pure banter on the show.
They are friends?
I don't think Russell was too impressed. 😆
yeah they are not friends.
They have been friends for a long time
@@saeedhossain6099 They've been friends for decades, there's a great episode where John is interviewed on Russell's show and Russell tries to tickle him to death.
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
If John Oliver has only cried once so far this year, there's only one more 2020 thing that could possibly make him cry a second time:
Adam Driver reciprocating his feelings.
well boy do I hope you watched the season finale :D
@@DuckDuckPineapple “They said you ‘Thirsting’ after me was a ‘mood’!”
“I hated this-goodbye!”
LOL!!!
JOHN ESCAPED THE BLANK VOID!
TO HIS COUCH!
Still blank except for the purple stripe
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
Hey, don't talk about Danbury, Connecticut that way!
he just added a couch to it
The way I feel about John Oliver is the way John Oliver feels about Adam Driver.
Samee
Same 😂
Samee
finally someone said it
To complete the Dickensian backstory, John should have said "a whole Edam cheese" for his last meal. Very poetic (and an Oscar film contender)
it would have been amazing if he'd said that
Is that your application to be a writer for him? Hired.
This is probably the first CZcams comment worth reading.
Well John was in a Dickensian movie as a kid 🤣
If he had any comedy chops, that John guy.
Maybe next time.
Russell's mum is such a gem
I love how John's accent is so exemplified when talking to another brit
amplified?
John's a disgrace
His joke about police brutality and Paw Patrol was the definition of genius!!
Joke? 🤔 No, very real
@@livb6945 police brutality is not a joke. John's joke is a joke though.
I love that occasionally they'd just roast the shit out of each other 😂
It's a very British way of knowing someone cares about you, because heaven forbid you show actual emotion to another human being. 😂
@@ScreamingTc Emotion? What is this emotion you speak of?
@@ScreamingTc
British are laughed at by Pakistanis.
"I'd just have toast" - what a *perfect* response
I think it was a missed opportunity. If I would get told, I am on death row for murdering 8 people with a hammer, my meal would obviously be mashed potatoes......
"I'll just have toast."
Jesus christ that's funny!
I love these two together. More please....?
I still don't understand why he hasn't devoted at least an "And Now This" to Liverpool winning the premiership.
That’s why I asked! I had to know his reaction to them winning. He’s wanted to see them win for so long!
I wanted to see footage of John Oliver ugly cry for happiness
he still feels guilty for talking about FIFA so much, even though we love it
I think they had a photo of the team in the opening credits of one ep...in the spot right before it ends, the one they change every week to address some big headline or pay tribute to someone who has passed away. (The last ep had a tribute to Chadwick Boseman)
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
I agree about the present. The whole of the thing makes a difference. My mother never forgot, as a child in Great Depression, being given a whole hand of bananas, so understood when I wanted a whole roast chicken (the way she roasted them) to myself. Thanks for reminding me how happy that made 10 year old me, and how happy similar things have made my children. :).
The end of this is aggressively British
I thought it started way too American/conservative 🤣🤣🤣
That was my very first thought at the end - as a "settled" EE immigrant.... (P.S.: stuffed pepper.)
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
I couldn't even understand some of it, even though normally I have no problem at all with him or any of the other political show hosts 😄
Brilliantly funny.
My two favorite British people ❤️❤️❤️ you two make my heart sing.
You're a weirdo. These 2 are a disgrace to UK.
@@ziegngarcia8284 well I do live in Portland, so I am a proud weirdo. 🤷♀️
Was expecting John to pick Adam Driver for president. Disappointed.
He could at least have picked him for his death row meal.
@@sabrinafrolich5669 You have won the internet for today.
LOL! OMG THANK YOU SABRINA
Adam Driver and Beyonce
@@sabrinafrolich5669 Bwahahaha 😂😂😂💀💀💀
My favourite bit of this interview? The last second where his Brummie roots snuck out and he gave us a "ta ra" to go out on. #oneofourown
"you're their dad" I LOVE YOU RUSSELL HOWARD
I've never seen Russell before but he's interactions with John Oliver were quite funny. And he had the tack of letting John talk over him when they both had something funny to say.
Classy AF.
They're old mates that go way back as well. You should definitely look up the in-person interview Russel did with John; it's absolutely hilarious. Admittedly, some tolerance for cringe comedy is required.
@@clockworkkirlia7475
Haha😂 they barely knew eachother when they met 4 years ago. But you they "they're old mates" lol 😂
I was absolutely not ready for the Ellen roast at the beginning, but now I've had a taste - I want more, please drag her
I cannot possibly be the only person in the world to have a crush on both these two - pure integrity, intelligence and charm embodied in two human spirits :D
You are not the only person. I, too, find both of these men adorable.
@@audreyquinn73
You're a weirdo. These things aren't "men"
Cheese for Christmas, a painting of foreplay rats, feeling like a “flightless bird with wings” (overfed pigeon?), and a mousy look. John, are trying to tell us something?
noirettebeauty A Kakapo
Ostrich
More of a puffin...
Pudgy and flightless, but loosely affiliated with academia
@@JK-ur9qv the rat painting makes me think more kakapo. The kakapo here in NZ did try shag the head of the camera man with stephen fry.
Looking at John makes me think he is wearing the eyebrows, glasses and nose disguise, sometimes called Groucho glasses
His nose will forever look weirdly fake now. Thanks.
Wow. Just... I can't unsee it now.
Hahaha! I'm totally buying these :D :D
"I'll just have toast!" 😂 killed me
Loved it when they just started complimenting that guy's beard. Felt very genuine lol
These two are just naturally funny. The banter is effortless and you know they'd have the same chats down the pub back in the day!
When a mommy rat and a daddy rat love each other VEEEERRY much...
No comments on the extended Danny Dyer riff? Pure, crude, raw brilliance.
Agreed! I was crying!
Russell’s mum with that question is great 😂😂
Russell's mum seems like she can be equally sweet and caring and absolutely terrifying haha
She has an amazing sense of humour, that's who Russell gets it from.
All the best moms are
@@aidankeohane3370 I'll agree with that! I have a very warped sense of humour.
"I'll just have toast.." pure win.
"Aww Christ, really? I'll just have toast" 😂😂😂 He really has the best mum ever!!
John your accent is so prominent here, I've never heard it so strong when your doing any other show or interview!! you do sound like that bloke from my fair lady... you know who!!
lol. I notice my accent comes out more when I’m talking to my relatives. I think humans mimic so he’s back to mimicking his original accent.
One of my friends is American but has lived in the UK for 15 years and she always sounds 100x more American after talking to her parents to the point it almost sounds fake lol
@@hwren9845
Why?
At 8:48 of you turn up the volume, you can hear his son's cute little voice saying "...ok" like he really wants to play with his dad ❤️
John Oliver is a class act. So himself no matter what the situation is..
Watch Ben Elton if you want the real deal. This John oliver is just a cheap ass copy cat. I grew up watching Ben Elton. Im sure some of his content should be on YT but it was in the 80's i watched him. Even the real Ben Elton has called him a mini me but without the talent.
@@tablet_1233 as an American, I have no clue who Ben Elton is so, thanks. Since he is here on YT, I'll check out his stuff but are you suggesting Oliver "stole" his concept? Just curious before i watch since you called him a copycat.
@@tablet_1233 Wow! What that tells me is that you don't really know the full work of either Ben Elton or John Oliver. Very shallow, limited comparison.
@@iluvdissheet the way he delivers himself. When i first saw john i thought it was ben that was labelled wrong. Im not saying stole, just emulating. Ben Elton calls him a mini me
@@tablet_1233 cool. Thanks 4 clarifying.
I just like to know which YT rabbit hole I'm going down before I go. Last time, I clicked on a suggestion and mistakenly got hooked and boom! 3 hours gone. 😦
I would pay a lot for these two starting a podcast.
As a Brit living in America, this is f’n brilliant.
between a rock and a hard place right there.
@@mejohn101 We're all in this shitshow together.
@@hwren9845 aint that the truth
The UK needs John back. He is so wonderful.
Please don't take him from us 😂 he's all the joy we have left here
@@beckelmore8448 I live in the US but it should be a sacrifice we make for those poor sods
I don't think you can do what he's doing in the UK. First off, you need a massive budget noone in the UK would be willing to spend. Secondly, the world isn't really interested as much in the systemic issues of the UK, so he'd shrink a potentially world-wide audience to just a UK audience. The way it is now, the non-sucking half of the US watches his show and the world watches it because we love making fun of how messed up the USA are.
Of course, the premise here is that he'd do what he does now - which is clearly what he's best at.
@@DrZaius3141 my dear you are lost
I didn’t know how much I needed this, but this was MAGNIFICENT.
The crossover we’ve all wanted but never expected
John didn’t get a bicycle. Just the Wheel - - - - - of Cheese! Too funny!!!!!
I want more of this. This is just too good.
I love these two together ❤️
That was much needed laughter. Thank you
This instantly and easily became one of my all time favorite interviews. Thank you.
This is the first time I’ve liked listening to John Oliver in a year. Great interview.
I love watching them interview, it's just so obvious that they're friends
I laughed so hard at this video I had tears streaming down my face and I nearly wet myself. I haven't laughed that hard all year. I'm still recovering and having giggle fits. These 2 men should do this weekly or monthly. That was everything I didn't know I needed right now.
Two of my favourite social comedians. Love them both. Can watch them for hours and seeing them chat together is awesome. Thanks.
I’m 100% with him on Klopp, that ruined me too. What a legend ... I just wanted to hug him so bad. What I wouldn’t do for a Jürgen Klopp hug.
Don’t think any red had a dry eye after seeing that.
Sahrish Rawra for sure.
I enjoyed it immensely as well, Russell. The fun and honest joy. Priceless. Thanks to you both.
THIS is a perfect example of what I love about British humour! Just brilliant... The toast episode had me in tears! Merci so much!
Russell seems concerned about John's tea making procedure.
Its a British thing - they WILL go to war over tea!
@@Tracey66 *screams in American Revolution*
Danbury is watching you Russel! 😁🥰😘😘😘
This video just made my day 🥰🥰🥰
If John Oliver is looking for ways to bring his kids down a peg or two, just get them a ball of edam cheese.
The chemistry between these two guys is just priceless! :D
Who else here would happily watch hours of these guys roasting each other??
That was so fun and came right on time 😊 Thanks!
John and Russell should do this every week! I loved every minute. 🥳👍
Excellent interview - as expected - these two - together - golden - awesome -
- brilliant - *perfect* & excellent questions people - 'what's your favourite cheese' - who onew what a gold mine that was
always nice to sit back and watch these two chat away and just have fun with it :)
John looks like he's wearing one of those glasses, fake nose and moustache disguises
I see it.....now I can’t unsee it.
I guess it’s because he is getting grey in quarantine😏
Eleanor its called the Groucho Marx Set.
That's why he compares himself to the tucan Sam kind of bird on the show often😁 and Steve minuchin.... One I Love watching the other I want to beat with Negans baseball bat😁😋😁😋
Heeeey! stop body shaming our beloved toucan! 😆
This was pure goodness and happy energy, thank you.
Watching again bc I miss your shows Russell 😂❤️ laughing with you guys from Canada 🇨🇦 I can’t believe I needed the pandemic in 2020 to discover both of you amazing guys. ❤️
Awwww, Russell! Your mum is absolutely precious. If the adorable video question weren't enough, the story at the end of you asking her the same question just dissolved me completely into a puddle of love. My mum passed away just 2 months ago. Do me a favor. Tell your mum you love her one extra time for me. 💙💔💙
I was half expecting this to end with a mutual "Love you, bye!" Disappointed.
I thought Nutty.was going to show up!
czcams.com/video/67XwB2qJKZ0/video.html
i was like "That looks like Russell's mom, but slightly hotter." Then Russell's like "That's my mum, and she's wearing a lot of makeup."
Thanks guys, this was wonderful. As always, John, I want to say how thankful I am you’ve thrown your lot in with us!
Could listen two these two talk for hours that was brilliant
Oh my goodness please you two do a once a month show. I cried so hard laughing. Im willing to be the middle of a Russell/John sandwich!!! Love you both!
This was hilarious, I could watch this bit go on for another hour
Love both of these comedians so mch, great collab! Also found it amusing hearing John talk to actual English people for once, his proper accent coming out; he's not forgotten his roots!
These are honestly some of the most insightful questions I’ve seen lately
It is wonderful to see a genuine friendship among talented comedians who can be both on their business show-wise and also just have a great laugh together.
Awww my two favorites!!! ❤️
I love these two together so much. So glad the first question was about Liverpool winning the league. I think that’s what I would have asked too. If there’s ANY way there could be a 3-way convo with John, Russell and Jürgen Klopp, I think I would explode with joy!
I agree completely with John on cheese. Edam was my favourite as a kid, extremely strong cheddar is my favourite now, and I would have loved a ball of edam for my birthday or christmas present when I was young.
Thank you, dear funny role-model men. I have just been watching the news about USA burning to the ground (again), alongside Camp Moria in Italia that - well ... I was not expecting to cry with laughter just now, but it was very welcomed.
I thought camp Moria was in Greece. Does it seem wierd to you that there was a place in Middle Earth called Moria?
This is the kind of video that I wish I could Like more than once
Such a nice convo. Thanks so much.
John. What are you doing answering questions, sat on a you couch in your house and not on a plane to Danbury to cut the ribbon your sewer plant?
I wondered if he actually got that namesake sewer plant? He was pretty friggin excited about that prospect.
@@donnakaye2015 Yes here did.... There are a couple of CZcams Videos about it - czcams.com/video/emR3SvmCp04/video.html and czcams.com/video/UjVJhnabEiY/video.html
this is what television should be like.
btw: those two have just the best bro-mance in english-speaking media. xD
Yeay, two of my favorite British comedians!
Amazing interview... lots of fun. Giggled all the way through. And your mum is my favourite person in the world. x
That is for sure the only way to make tea! Woot woot
Great clip and love the question from your mum 😀
My grandmother came to this Country from England. and she lived to be ninety nine years old. even though the last ten years of her life couldn't have been particularly wonderful. (for example) she would have to butcher a milk carton to get it open. and she couldn't lift a pan on to the top of the stove. and if she fell down she couldn't get back up. but she was the greatest person I have ever known. and I can remember her telling me many thing's about England. and how it gives me insight into people from Britain. and how I can understand people like John Oliver better. I have to always thank her for giving me a better understanding of Britain and British people. she was something else one of the best people I have ever known no doubt.
It's the best interview I've ever seen. It truly is.
CZcams suggested this and it was genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen in ages
I'm only 5 minutes in, and its quite simply delightful.
That genuinely made me crease up! Absolutely brilliant!
You two are a very big contributing factor to my sanity and for that I thank you 🙏🏽
Please consider doing a podcast with John Oliver.
Alhasan Kareem John Oliver did a podcast (The Bugle) with Andy Zaltzman for years but he had to give it up due to time commitments to his tv show.
