John Oliver: How I'm Hosting "Last Week Tonight" In Isolation 

Only John Oliver, Colbert is very meh and only survives because of his writers and graphics department, this at home series has made that clear. This at home series shows how unfunny most of em are lol. Seth Meyers and John Oliver are the only ones who can make it on their own.

Dylan Richard sorry dude but i find Colbert to be way better than Seth Meyers... I'd be honored if some fans of melancholic 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, SHE'S A BRICK by Ben Folds Five, and Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES on my YT channel. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and pardon the self-plug.

@@Zeromaus honestly seth meyers annoys me. Its like he panders too hard. Idk, to each there own

I watch all three and like all three (I don't laugh out loud at any since I normally don't do that for political jokes, just smirking and taking in the information). I think the same about Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah.

FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

That's one thing I love about the Brits. If things go belly up you can immediately start to work on a solution without emotional outbursts. It's very efficient.

Stephen and John are the twin peaks of late-night wisdom... I'd be honored if some fans of melancholic 90s classics would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, SHE'S A BRICK by Ben Folds Five, and Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES on my YT channel. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Pardon the plug and stay safe.

And in 2021.. and in 2022… The 4 years prior to 2020 were sh*tshows too.. Dammit.

@@Tonyhouse1168and 2023

Boom 500

What got me so much about him saying that is he didn't point out he voices the main character. So it's more that he drowns out his angry, cursing self with his pleasant, child friendly self.

THANK YOU

100%

Megan Ripley Yes. Adorable.

I love him.

so cute

Right?? It's definitely what we need right now.

Which is great :D

Which is, amazing of course. Because it's those two friends!

I'm sure the actual show is this plus the band, audience, and professional TV crew.

It's a masterpiece 😆 exactly what I needed this morning

Can we summon him like Janet?

Full of facts, mind.

@@AlyssaNguyen More important, is it Good John Oliver or Bad John Oliver.

@@dansadler good or bad, they are equally awesome.

Full of sad facts.😉

fedos arrested development!!!

is the word teat?

Bless you for this comment

Sudden Destruction Why did you send this, no one is healthy or safe but my state is still being run by idiots? It’s not particularly relevant to anything in this video or comment so let’s just let the many “powerless” idiots try to fight against the few “powerful” idiots and enjoy the conversation between two friends instead of spreading videos that just seem to be an event that happened.

@Sudden Destruction Sorry, but I dont care about the delusions of Nazi terrorists.

Stephen and John are the twin peaks of late-night comedy & satire...

Coastal Elites having a chat. What could be better?

Colbert is perfectly groomed!

Figures. Every sad British gentleman's greatest dream is to just stay inside all day long

For John it must be nice. Someone like them likely misses a lot of the early childhood of their children. Now he gets to experience all of it. Poop and vomit included.

Being disheveled is more human than not being disheveled, you disheveled disheveler

Old people are dying. Of course they're happy.

It was a weird flex, but it worked!

It really is some of the best tv I've seen

EliTheGleason It’s because John Oliver is a goddamn American treasure...even if he wasn’t born here.

One of the most enjoyable interviews I've seen. Love their banter.

If it’s those two comedians, love them both.

Sean Matthew King So happy he finally got his citizenship!

Stephen Colbert and John Oliver are the twin towers of late-night show business...

@@willritter4076 you play amazingly

It's because they both used to work on The daily show

They should just combine their shows or guest appear on each other's show every episode.

@@b-meaker99

Absolutely!

Kinda thought I was alone in that thought. The jokes without the audience in the background is surreal and sublime.

Nah. They're way less funny. There's a reason these guys have writers and they're proving why.

Although I do enjoy these, the host definitely would rather perform in front of the live audience

I think about how blissful things will be if we get back to normal someday...shows with live audiences, eating in a crowded restaurant, grocery shopping without panic attacks....

They are peers! They worked together back on John Stewart 's daily show as writers and have been friends since.

I don't want to break the 429 likes frontiers!

CBS says you can't say "Shit" 🤣

​@@KickyFut they didn't actually overlap and work together on The Daily Show.

Seraphim Alpha HBO money bought that white background...

Seraphim Alpha like their personalities 😂🤣🥰 (I love them both)

Stevie fan maybe? He might have bought the house before the current job.

Did you see the part where he admitted to being hillbilly barefoot?!!!❤❤❤

Colbert's daughter did his hair and makeup, Oliver's children are too young to do the same.

Probably a false statement, as human beings lived in caves for tens of thousands of years. Folks today have got it pretty good in comparison, even taking the COVID into account.

Well, if we're getting all nitpicky (and you're correct of course, I have it better right now than my grandparents at my age, let alone their forebears, though worse than a month ago), it is suboptimal. Whenever things can be better, they're suboptimal. Sure it's often used to mean "shitty", but the real meaning is just "it could be better". And that it could.

As humans continue to multiply at around 83 million annually, we will see things like pandemics, famine, war, genocide, effects from climate change more and more. We either get control of our population or work together to become a space faring race or just fight each other for resources until we kill a bunch of ourselves off.

It's suboptimal because.. This is The Bad Place! padum tss

​@@willritter4076 Living in a cave is also suboptimal, unless you're comparing it to living in San Francisco.

Great at controlled panic

Good thing we don't have smell-o-vision.

a bag of fruit and bare plates...what a combo... :))

I prefer shoes with no suit, personally. The best imo.

I actually laughed out loud.

A sign of true class.

Daniel Lopez - yes...! They’re truly being themselves and interacting in the best way.

Not even close

They both forgot how to be funny the moment they caught deranged syndrome over Trump

Jason Cripe: OK, Trumper.

By far. Stephen seems like he's actually enjoying himself and not just reciting his network-mandated jokes about Trumps hands.

He gets to make a show about essentially whatever topic he fancies at that time and whose profit model is utterly inscrutible, while making a decent amount of money doing so. Yeah, as comedian gigs go these days, he's absolutely won.

Self deprecating comedy is very British. I like it too. He was pretty much the same before too.

John's response to this would probably be that of course he can laugh at himself. After all... Somebody has to.

Like Seinfeld! Just love these two!

Loved it! He wasn't there to promote something, just talk plain garbage 🤣🤣 exactly what we are all doing these days🤣😏

I wonder though, does context count? Because we know we're having this kind of show because of the massively global and unique situation we are all in. I'm not complaining though, every second was indeed gold.

Gold must be crap

@@unmeshl.6708 Report back in a year.

He's just so delightful, too! I reckon I could probably watch him talk indefinitely about, I dunno, the lesser spotted common or garden slug, and I'd be like a pig in muck.

Aren't all times like that?

They couldn't decide how to get out to him but hear me out: Pirate superyachts.

@@AmbrotosArkhon pirate superyachts will be a great band name

Please... Just let him try the water outside Somalia (And broadcast the event live on RU-vid) 😉😊👍

I haven´t been wearing any clothes the past three weeks to be honest :´D

@@FxBrour same shit

Lol I don’t have pants on atm

Well, as my birthday suit was good enough to celebrate my very first birthday, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be at least adequate for everyday use. ;--)

He already said he was at 4 out of 50. Is this something that was lost on an American audience?

@@pineapplesandjellies A representative from a country with at least one a$shole is here and decided to be the extra nasty a$shole too.

He said out of 50 so obviously that's really bad. I don't think Americans like myself are more likely to miss that than anyone else...

SoCloseToToast bruh you’re here

I adore every interview John Oliver does, I just adore John Oliver, Stephen is pretty alright.

@@NightridewithNikki Colbert is trapped in a cage and trying to help, you can tell where people stand if you work out where their hearts are going.

That is just what the doctor ordered.

bulshit. that would be way more funny and interesting than this

I love this format for Stephen's shows going forwards. Facetiming with friends, real talk and just chilling.

@@sebastianelytron8450 Captain Doctor, M.D.

This was legit the best late night interview so far.

Its like two old friends catching up over lunch.

Lol...but shouldn’t they be aquanauts?...hehe

I'm invested.

There are 8 characters.. that is why its called octanauts

@@krupavmoorthi I did NOT know that. But if that IS true, then why does their logo have an actual octopus on it? Just food for thought.

Only it’s an actual official TV show. RU-vidrs are not.

RU-vidrs are generally shit. "TV shows on my own" are generally quality content with proper research being done.

@@Timmy_T you don't watch right RU-vidrs

@@vendyM Come on. 90% of them are rubbish.

@@Timmy_T they are. That is why we need to appreciate those 10%

So we are confirming he is Janet from The Good Place

pablozky21 YEEESSS

@@pablozky21 that's why he has all the information !!!!

Best part

Is that what it was supposed to be?

@Sebastiaan Joosten taking a guess? probably a word that is /technically/ profane, but that we're desensitized to.

I don't know why but I thought it was dick...

@@RaysofLight98 definitely taint

I wonder if CBS would still censor them if they both would just say "beep" the whole time instead of using actual expletives. :-)

jonnnnniej It wasn’t “dick” because a couple nights ago Stephen called Trump a dick, and wasn’t censored.

PinkFluffyPandicorn Blub - can John Stewart join in please?

And Seth Meyers

Can you add Samantha Bee to that list.

@Vladimir Stefanov just curios, what's Trevor's fault?

Add Steve Carroll to that and you've got gold, Jerry. Gold!

jellobell seriously. I think I understand the appeal of commentary RU-vid now

Well it's more complicated than that... When you get into youtube. From the start you are the cast, crew, camera, editor, etc... Where as these big t.v. companies who hire lawyers and highly educated college graduates, hire a highly educated cast. A cast educated in entertainment NOT in video production. These dang Zoomers are just too dang snuggly with lady technology.

People usually go on talk shows etc. to sell their book/movie etc.

Oh but they did have some script. They just went off script a lot 😅

That's called a podcast. Check out Joe Rogan, or Mark Maron, Or Dr. Drew' This Life

Or comedians Theo Von - This Past Weekend, or Joey Diaz -The Church of What's Happening Now

Right, I think a lot of people want to see more authenticity

Tolkien

Reports dating back as far as 2010 talking about splicing the genome and in 2015 mixing sars with bats. Italian MSM report raising concerns over the corona bioweapon being tested in bio labs. They use the MSM to blame Trump and democrats on the spread of the virus to keep citizens divided on the issue when it's world governments and a select few at the top of the chain of command who have ordered this virus to spread around the world. MSM/WHO slowly rolled out the pandemic and anyone with a little common sense and memory should realize how obvious it is. G20/G7 countries gave the manufacturing contracts to China to mass produce medical supplies and pharma with little regulations. China burned down the medical supply factories before they released the Wuhan bat soup corona covid 19 bioweapon. Than China sent 5 million of their citizens around the world for the chinese new year knowing they were infected. G20/G7 countries USA/Australia/Canada . . . medical suppliers sent back 90% of the medical supplies to China to help China fight the virus. So i think that pretty well says this is a globalist released bio weapon designed to destroy the economy and usher in a one world government. They chose China as the place to release the virus because they know nothing can be done about it in a communist run country. The cure will be a effort from multiply countries, select few will drop bread crumbs to find the cure which will be the perfect cover up. The citizens world wide will get the dirty vax while the 1% will get the clean vax. Your children will be stairel and who knows how many other side effects will come alone with the virus and the cure. This is a war crime on humanity and nothing can are will be done about it.

There are plenty who are most DEFINITELY all that is wrong in peoples lives. So that's a 9 dollar lesson at best.

@@Krystalmyth I mean sure, if you're talking about someone in power like Boris Johnson or Donald Trump. But a comedian doing badly on stage? That level of aggression is so unwarranted that it reminds me of when my own mental health gets screwed up and the tiniest provocation has me sending emails to local government threatening to burn down their offices (that's happened twice and to their credit they didn't try to prosecute me or anything, and instead contacted my support workers out of concern for me). Even though local government _is_ often _a lot_ of what's wrong in my life (particularly since as a vulnerable, mentally ill woman they have extra care duties, which they're often incompetent at actually providing, or try to illegally weasel their way out of), if I'm reacting that aggressively then something has temporarily broken inside me.

and my new response to people who fly off the handle for truly trivial things

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated That your mind went to politicians first... I think a lot of people can envy your personal life.

@@Cruxador actually this is a good point, 15 years ago I had a super abusive boyfriend. I'd like to say for comedic reasons that he turned me off guys altogether and confirmed my too-lesbo-for-straight-relationships status, but while that's _technically_ true he only did so in the early days when he was pretending _not_ to be an abusive peenwad and was treating me really well, I simply realised that the emotional connection of a straight relationship is wrong for me. Plus I'm more sexually attracted to other women too, so for me a straight relationship just isn't an attractive option. Damn it, this whole thing got _really_ off track, and only because I'm autistic and obsessively honest. *CUUUURSE YOU, VACCINES, VACCINES, VACIIIIINES, JOLEEEEENES!* (sidenote also I find the notion of vaccines causing autism hilariously absurd and solely blamed them for comedic reasons.)

I need all the old Daily Show correspondents just doing casual collabs with each other. SOMEONE FIND CARREL!

He was on a hilarious podcast for years called "The Bugle". There are tons of great natural banter in there. The podcast is still going with other guests, and the host Andy is amazing too. Look for really early episodes in the feed. Early as in 7-8 years ago. I'm sure fans of this clip would like it. It is available on every large platform.

He did Mock the Week years ago and he’s still brilliant.

@Jeremy Knaack Oh I absolutely agree; the funniest I ever saw John was when he was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

You doubted him?!

I'm sure he's still got the writers' room helping with long pieces like Coronavirus III, but this was plainly off-the cuff banter between the two of them with minimal planning, and a pleasure to watch.

it actually just is

Which is why it is so amazing

It gets better but beware: then they become teenagers.

Yep I keep reminding myself I’m glad this wasn’t happening 15 years ago lol

My God this is every parent rn isn't it. My kids both interrupted my team meeting this morning.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Daily Show reunion podcast

Some people might consider jeggings pants

Interestingly, in England, pants means underwear.

@@Beiki Exactly what I was wondering about. I figured John would get hung up on that and say, "...y'mean trousers?"

Thats how you know the World has gone down the toilet 😂

Smokey Joe you can't get hung up on that stuff to much, esp. when it's a majority us audience, noah & Corden have also adopted many Americanisms

They're making sure the air is clean.

Muhfuckin priorities!

And tits! Remember those evil beasts still exist in the world.

Dreams of hearing swearing in the future will give people the will to live on.

What? I could not hear your typing!

Especially when you know pants in the UK are underpants...

@@osheridan/home BTW, the lads from Anthrax and Lemmy from Motörhead also had to clear up that misunderstanding when they still were young musicians: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aam04_Y7iV0.html (The scene is from the 2010 documentary "Lemmy" about... well, guess who.)

That order is objectively correct

I am assuming that he listed them in descending order regarding the mess that they can make.

In order of least likely to desert you in a crisis.

I like how John is so British to say he has two ''children'' and not ''kids.''

@@tommo3190/home/home Well, not entirely. It would have been correct if John would have mentioned at least one cat before mentioning the dog. :-) (The little one of my two moggies is currently eyeing me pretty close, so I have to be extra careful what to wri-- OW!)

I couldn't tell what CBS wouldn't let them say

That moment you learn they aren't his kids, but slaves from Epstein Island.

@@az547 I once saw a taping of the Late Show at the Ed Sullivan theater. At one point, Stephen said, "That's fucking hot!" Of course, CBS bleeped it out when they broadcast it. I can't tell you how thrilling it was to hear Stephen swearing, uncensored!

I bet that the feet fanatics went crazy there

Old media guys finding out how new media guys feel. Stuff like Markiplier not wearing pants while streaming, etc. XD

Things are on a downhill trajectory: by next day, he wasn't wearing pants. (And to prove it he showed us, while his wife was distracted)

Twitch would ban this video for those feet.

@@RNCHFND They are really nice

Luna thats me too

I see you're a person of RWBY culture as well.

And Stephen wasn't looking at him either haha

Luna I thought it was just me! I really like him but, dude, back it up a just a bit and stay there. But his dimples are so cute and he’s so authentic.

Some wear both, though not at at the same time.

Make this a T-shirt!!

That and no shoes.

Most do actually. Superman does at least.

LOL and can't say: shit, Fuck, dick, and (I just learned) penushead. lol

Tbh, I feel like it’s what their RU-vid content should’ve been the whole time. Less formal than the TV shows; more than likely having an infrequent upload schedule, but still being really funny; and just being overall more genuine

Same here!

They should all do RU-vid and fuck the networks.
