Just noticed for the first time that John Oliver had a 1st cavalry division pin. Upon a little research, I found out that his wife was a combat medic within the division, for which he shows admiration and support by wearing that pin - for anyone who, like me, didn't know this and was curious.
hassi44 john oliver would be proud with your level of research. Thats why i love his shows lol. I recently start to binge on his show after watching the video about his church.
hassi44
That's great, I love learning stuff like that! Thanks for doing the research for us! 🤘❤🌻 Have a lovely day!
I just noticed the same thing. Was next to the first Cav mps unit in Iraq...what a buncha boy scouts.
That was some fantastic investigative journalism. You might actually be too qualified for CNN.
Yep. He married a badass!!!
TURBO FUCKED!
That was not TURBO FUCKED... Thats TURBO F****D!!! :)
We're going TURRRRRBBBBOOOOOO!!
At least we're not omega fucked... yet. Knowing this presidency, this may be the end and we may achieve that state... I have the sudden desire to go buy a farm in the middle of nowhere in hopes i don't get nuked.
Conservatives used to hate Russia with a blinding white passion.. but now that Russia's totalitarian shenanigans have helped put the Presidency into Republican hands, conservatives have finally come to realize where their true passion lies: crushing U.S. democracy as fast as humanly possible, so that they never ever again have to say that the liberals beat them for as long as they live.
Turbo F*cked. The plot of Dreamwork's Turbo sequel.
John Oliver is the living embodiment of class, crudeness, intelligence and dorkiness all at once and I love it so much!
He's just a Brit. We've got loads of 'em. We're currently exporting Limeys all over the planet (again); John will soon become a citizen of the USA. It's part of our plan to destabilise and destroy the world (again). We're everywhere: China, South America, Africa, the Middle East, Japan, the US, Canada, Eire, Australia, India, Grimethorpe, Russia... Oh yes. Divide and rule. Slowly. Give it 900 years or so. The world is doomed (again). Now, would you like a nice cup of tea? It's tax-free and jolly refreshing with a Hobnob or two.
class, crass and smartass
huh!@@EleanorPeterson You brits didn't appreciate him in Britain. That is why he is here. We extracted the hidden talent.
He is the 'revenge of the nerd'... he's the famous comedian, everyone who bullied him work in a supermarket...
@@EleanorPeterson nah, that’s Englandshire. I’m just a Scot, so would prefer a wee dram with my oatcake, thanks.
How sad is it that I barely remembered what this was about because so many other scandals came after this?
God I know
I was thinking the EXACT same thing omg
We’ve failed as a country that we legitimately did not remember this even happening.
Hi from 2021! 🤷♀️🤪
With the amount of scandals I had to wreck my brain about it and as far as I know, this had no consequences whatsoever.
It's like the Last Week Tonight segment titled "Scandals", where they just made one up, I stopped the video and started to research it, because I thought it was real and I'd just forgotten about it.
Pretty telling that with the frequency of them coming, we've all turned into scandal-goldfish.
"It's February, we'r in Moscow, your going to have to try harder then that"
*than

PJ Anderson actually... *we're , *you're, *than that
you got "It's" right

The phrase "turbo-fucked" has just entered common use for me.
#TurboFucked™
"Shift into Turbo-fucked!"
hahaha you guys are killing meh xD
Same reaction
Exactly! Lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oliver + Colbert = GOLD.
They used to be on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart :))
I wonder what Hannity + Alex Jones + Ben Shapiro + Limbaugh + D'Souza etc. are then?
We really need to discuss the meaning of the phrase "Far Left."
Ia
Nathan Smith "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" Stephen Colbert
I love that John still wears the First Cav pin on his left lapel in honor of his wife.
Whats a first cav pin
1st Cavalry is an Army unit
What happened to John's wife??
Nothing. She's a veteran.
Willow he wear's his wife's veteran badge?
john olivers accent is so soothing its like audiotherapy
too bad his face isnt
that's why you should listen to the first 200 episodes of the bugle
I used to think that anyone who got their information on world events from late night talk shows was a complete moron who was too stupid to comprehend the actual news, then I took a look at CNN and FOX News ... It seems that late night comedy is the way to go.
It's what I imagine a tea kettle would sound like if it were brought to life.
I can't wait to hear his voice in the new Lion King (seriously)
Two high quality persons with Emmys in their cupboards
The normal plural of person is people, unless you're a bureaucrat. The NOAD has a note about using persons instead of people. The words people and persons can both be used as the plural of person, but they are not used in exactly the same way.
aishx is fine with their use of "persons".
no one cares
indeed but the "french" person criticised aishx for their use of the term, so I wanted to assure him or her that what they wrote was not incorrect.
Too bad they didn't see Trump coming! Bernie woulda won.
Are we gonna ignore the Chopin nocturne arranged for sax and piano?
I didn't.
I hated that.
Quentin Neroes it was nice
F*************CK! FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS IT. THANK YOU!
I have been humming this tune into the Soundhound app for a week now, trying to find it! I knew I heard it somewhere :)
It was awesome!!
Wow, good ear
"You know what his lawyer needs? A lawyer" This is turning into the meeseeks episode from rick and morty
Adam W I
What is really sad is that I really wish Trump had a Mr. Meeseek box to help him.
Be "HE" roped me into this!
I've seen that episode. It doesn't turn out well for some of the Meeseeks.
Then his whole white house staff will be trying to attack him so they can stop existing.
Stupid watergate was an accurate description at the time. What is scary is, it is becoming more and more accurate...
I think I get what you are saying, but...Watergate was pretty much wrapped up over 3 decades ago.
Rebecca H John Oliver has an episode called "Stupid Watergate", look it up
This movie will not even be interesting.... all the presidents idiots.
He said that in the video
It's already way beyond watergate. And also way beyond stupid for that matter.
That's my new excuse for when I'm found in places I shouldn't be: "You called downstairs to have your window opened"
You have to be sure to do it in a thick russian accent for full effect.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! You literally made me choke on my coffee. Yes I'm going to use that too. Oh gosh these guys are hilarious.
If you have to ask that many times, only to get no answer, you're wasting your time here Alana. Go home you're drunk.
Okay I just realized you all have different names, and have different links, but you all have the same avatar and you're all asking for the same thing.
That's somehow worse.
why are political satire video's the one's where i'm bombarded with porn bots?
"His lawyer needs a lawyer"
Yeah, now Cohen has a lawyer
When jokes get more accurate overtime.
Kristopher Mamer and now, gulliani too needs a lawyer 😂
Ahh the way time passes
Oh how right you were...
Chopin Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 for his intro, on the sax. nice.
Noticed that too, awesome!
I waded through so many terrible politically-charged comments to find this information. Thank you.
The intro is amazing!! I've been playing it on repeat
Me too! I haven't heard a really fun Jazz rendition of Nocturne until now.
Henri van der Waard It was actually modified by an 8 year old Chopin from John Field's 5th Nocture in B flat, if I remember correctly.
I want a Jon Oliver and Stephen Colbert buddy cop comedy.
I'd watch it.
Also, just because you put the idea in my head, John Stewart would have to be their Chief.
THIS. SO MUCH.
Alpha121198 it's Jon Stewart....
wagonburner5000 and John Oliver.
Adorable switch-em-up! And I agree....
wagonburner5000 Yeah!
WOW! Chopin for the entrance!
Keep human!
What's the name of the full piece?
Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
Ohh sweet, thought I recognised that piece
I've never heard such a jazzy interpretation of the piece. Stay Human is amazing
I loved that!!!
It's kind of sad when I can look at the title of this video and wonder which scandal they are referring to.
I'm writing from 2021 and boy it really is strange
2024. I don't know even after hearing them talk about it.
Really, *really* digging John Oliver's entry music. That jazzy rendition of Chopin's Nocturne.
I need the full version. I need it now.
Thank you, I couldn't for the life of me figure out the tune. Yes, classy and well executed cover.
ruclips.net/video/sfi8sfJZJtE/видео.html if you're still into it XD
Hell no This version is so bad.
For some reason it reminded me of Pokemon
"it's something as long as we live in a world where something mean anything "
- John Oliver . 7 / 12 / 2017
It really seems like there are no consequences for anyone with an "R" next to their name anymore. How is collusion a partisan issue?
+Mr420Spy
They think Partisan is a type of cheese you sprinkle on top of spaghetti.
In their case, I think you mean s'getti.
You live in a weird world if you think anything the media reported on since January has any truth to it. They are just reporting on it since it makes good ratings. If Trump did anything wrong he would be impeached faster than he can hit the red button for a coke. If there is a fundamental truth, it's that the establishment wants Pence as President instead of Trump.
Kevin Smith, I can see why you might assume the Republicans in Congress want Pence instead of Trump, but you're wrong. As long as Trump isn't making things worse for the Republicans, he's the one they want to keep around - not Pence.
Why? Because Trump is bringing voters to the Republican party that will not support said party without Trump's presence. It's that simple.
You have to consider how the Republicans in Congress believed they were going to get hammered during the 2016 election - and mostly because, they believed, of Trump's nonsense. Instead, Trump brought the Republican's a legion of ill-informed, uneducated voters who turned defeat into a huge victory.
If this was Obama or Clinton in the White House, the Republican's would have moved to impeach either of them dozens of times by now. But not Trump - because they're so desperate to hold onto his followers and use them to remain in power that they're willing to sell out the country to do it. For them, it's politics over patriotism.
The moment Trump begins to become a real liability for the Republicans in Congress, they will suddenly take issue with his behavior and fall back on Pence to push their agenda. But not before then.
One last thing - if you honestly don't believe the media has reported anything with truth to it since January, then you really must be one of those ill-informed and uneducated voters I referred to earlier.
Cool arrangement of Chopin for the entrance music!
Marc Spatz i found it familiar then found it was chopin
the band is really cool
You know a band is good when they know and play the classics! That one was Nocturne by the way.
That's what happens when you get a Juilliard alumn/jazz genius as your bandleader
Came to the comments to ask if anyone knew the song the band played. Thank you for posting so I didn't have to.
I guess you could say HBO has a...Draconian economy?
Gwyneth Ochsner ba dum dum tish
Gwyneth Ochsner get out
Andrew Bradu lol, leave now, and never...come back _back_ _back_
Thank the Lord for John O., Stephen C., Trevor N., Samantha B., Bill M. and Jon Stewart. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
I love how you only spelled Jons name fully xD
don't forget Seth Meyers!!
Sky Dog love Oliver, Noah, Maher and yes Mayers
Bill Maher sure, the rest are hacks.
why don't you just thank them instead of your brand of desert-dwelling fairy people?
If they'd said his real name was 'Emmy Peabody', I think I'd believe it. Especially if his picture was on the front of a book called "Emmy Peabody and the covfefe collusion kerfuffle'.
New Message that sounds like a kids book, maybe with a pop-up edition
It needs to be a popup book for Trump supporters to understand it.
For them, it needs to be a scratch and sniff
Thank you, John, for at least showing up somewhere before your vacation ends. Keeps our panic levels contained.
Come back to us, Johnny. We miss you.
I thought he said they were working? At the office, doing research? Which explains the high quality of his show.
Gillsing His team is working. He had had this vacation planned for a while. That's why they are off.
Gillsing j
Didn't mean that sorry
1:56 "As long as the dragons are fine everything's okay at HBO."
Oh oh. No one tell John that one of them is now dead.
but he said that the dragon is okay. they got defibrilator...0.0
Actually, TWO dragons are dead.
@@fighter2252 Actually the show died too
Defibrilator gave rise to House of the Dragon 😂 @nurlindafsihotang49
This was glorious
John Oliver's mental breakdowns are the most entertaining/relatable
"You called downstairs to have your window open" 😂😂😂
"please sleep well while our sniper... er... I mean our cleaning lady watch over from the next building..."
The titans have joined forces to flaunt logic and humour in the face of current events. This is all I need in life.
I see "john oli.."
Me click..
john olive oil! New product on shelves today!
And yet you still commented. So the click came far after you knew who was in the video.
the like button on this comment contains 100% John Oli..
Extra virgin John oli
You called to have your window opened sounds like something from a comedy spy movie
It sounds ridiculous.
But it's actually a usual thing in a russian hotel, I can assure you.
this whole thing will be in a history text book one day
eightgateslee20 if we don't kill each each other first.
"If Trump doesn't b8 North Korea with his tweets into nuking us first."
FTFY
Midnight Blue
When you realise that the US news media is propaganda? All countries have the issue of news media being propagandists (for government and corporate interests), but the US is definitely up there. CNN and MSNBC seem to have scrambled to out-BS Fox News, since Trump took office.
eightgateslee20
I keep thinking about that. Imagining how this whole thing will be written in a textbook and taught to the young people of the future.
I also wonder if teachers will show the various "Late Night" shows (John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, Daily Show, etc.) while teaching. Man... that'd be hilarious.
Low-key if my future kids come home and talk about learning it I will show them this stuff if the teachers aren't lol
You mean history tablets because textbooks are going to be so dated in the future haha
''Do you called to have your window opened ?''
Best Russian spy phrase ever. His teachers must be so proud.
The president in Idiocracy seems like an optimistic view now.
zcribe that president actually listened to the smartest man in the room.
holy shit you're right! that's not even funny
President Comancho was a good man who just happened to be stupid. Trump is a bad man who is stupid as well.
I love that they go on each others shows god bless
Yeah it's like inviting your best buddy to discuss the latest shit that happened on TV. It's fun as hell :D
Liked under the assumption that 'jewish propaganda' means it's funny.
Degree Cause Your lies are insult to true Germans. Go to fucking heal.
Degree Cause You are just another crazy conspiracy nut that no one gives a shit about. And no me replying to your crazy babble does not mean that I care about you or the crazy you are typing. I just felt like annoying you a bit and maybe have another laugh at any new stupid shit you might type :)
Get out of my mentions you *screams in to the void* NAAAZIIII
I love how John Oliver is ostensibly still super awkward on stage even after hundreds of hours of being on camera
British people are awkward in normal life too even with thousands of hours experience.
and you're a casual racist.
Howard Newmark can one be racist to a country? I feel like we need a much better word for that
You referred to 'British People' therefore you were conferring a racial stereotype on all of them. That's called racism and does not require any other word.
Howard Newmark being British isn't a race. also I didn't make any of the original comments. my point is that racism is like a catch all word nowadays. it literally has the word race in it but now refers to everything.....except for Jews, than you are anti-semetic....though I guess you can say racist too if you were feeling lazy.
i always felt like john oliver was a british nerd clone of stephen colbert that Jon Stewart cloned in a lab backstage at the Daily Show
Govind Krishnan
It's like the two versions of The Office but instead of a tv show about the everyday mishaps of lovable workers it's too white nerds in glasses but ones British
wouldnt that be perfect
Not really seeing it... admittedly, haven't tried the squinting thing yet.
Check out Oliver from his early years as a comedian back in Britain.
Turbo Fucked! That's my new favorite descriptor for the state of the world today...
Teeebs just the US.
If only it were so. Unfortunately the Turbo Fuckery (tm) is spilling over to the rest of the world, as the US does not exist in a vacuum...
Jake. Not just US turbo-fucked. Venezuela, Russia, North Korea, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Syria ... fill in the rest.
@@kunstmol aged like milk
Hi from 2021!
He's gonna be an excellent Zazu.
Henry Barnill Exactly. He's the only acceptable British non Atkinson choice.
Henry Barnill I remember hearing that news, and the first thing that came to mind was "nailed it"
He's becoming.... Quite the silver fox... My god... That walk.... Aaaaaaand rewind....
YOU TAKE THAT BACK. He is a gorgeous English twat.
It was a gloriously silly walk
I'm in John Oliver binge. How many times did he guested in Colbert?!
love it.
Am I the only one that noticed that Chopin nocturne opening in jazz version?
I thought it sounded familiar.
Nocturne 9 2 I believe
why is John Oliver wearing a 1st CAV pin? Somene said his wife was a combat medic with 1st CAV, respect!
His wife is an officer. They actually met when she was hiding him from an angry mob. Google the story, it's worth it :)
kalbs89 His wife was a U.S. Army combat medic during the Iraq war. She was part of a protest at the 2008 Republican convention and Oliver went there to cover the convention for the Daily Show. I think it was that Oliver and crew weren't allowed in so her and some of the soldiers helped him hide from security. The fact that that's how they met makes it such an amazing story!
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it much
It only proves that "The Daily Show" was way ahead of its time. Just look at what it birthed.
Thomas Deas Whoever did the casting there has one keen eye for talent
Thomas Deas John Stewart the genius grand daddy of political comedy.
John Liebowitz, and he was so much better than these hacks - even 3 years ago they were doing such better material.
Thomas Deas John Stewart is the Bill Walsh of late night hosts!
these two should do this on youtube once a month!
Any other classical musicians in the comments recognize that opening Jazz renderation of one of Chopin's Nocturnes? :p
1 did
That moment when you realize both of them were voices on Rick and Morty
Whoa, really? What voices did they play on Rick and Morty?
Oliver played Dr. Xenon Bloom (Anatomy Park) and Colbert played Zeep Xanflorp (The Ricks Must be Crazy)
^ o^
Haha!! Omg that's awesome, I need to go rewatch both those episodes again! Thanks!
Liam Murray Let's hope John Stewart will Receive the same treatment:D
Oliver also played Sherlock Holmes in a Gravity Falls episode about the wax figures.
In Russia you dont open window, mother russia will open it for you
“As long as nothing happens to those dragons everything will be ok” next thing you know there’s only two left alive.
There's nothing that I love more than Stephen's reactions anytime that someone swears. He knows that he's on a network that has to bleep it, and he knows he can't have too many of them... you can just see him having the mental argument with standards and practices in his head
I wish from now on every news medium would refer to this whole thing as Stupid Watergate. #StupidWatergate or just #Stupidgate ?
Scrotie McBoogerball I think the second one is more convenient. It seems to save a lot of breath that Americans will need
CADPgamer Yeah, we need to save our breath for all the screaming will be doing at how turbo fucked we are.
#Stupidgate
🖒
hehe...'turbo fucked'...sadly it'll probably be slow and drawn out.
Scrotie McBoogerball how about just #stupid
"Are they too dumb to realize what's happening? The answer is not definitely no". 5:23
Both hilarious and also sadly true in equal measure.
What's doubly hilarious is the target demographics will not understand what the double negative implies.
Yes, so sadly yes. Therin lies the battle.
These two need their own show together because the conversations are just so good.
COME BACK... I'm in Last Week Tonight withdrawals!
That was a beautiful adaption of Chopin's Nocturne.
Ikr! I have to find something similar
Sritanshu Sinha so happy someone noticed this
John Oliver’s walk lol
OMG He said his lawyer needs a lawyer, and later on, his lawyer ACTUALLY got a lawyer. Lol
John Oliver rockin' that tight suit.. :)
And what is that lapel pin?
I googled that andresmilfer and apparently his wife whom he met in 2008, served as a combat medic with the 1st Cavalry in Iraq. And that is the pin..
He's adorable, and smart as a whip!!!
Thank you Stephen for asking the question of our lives: Are we “a nation where colluding with a hostile foreign power to manipulate our elections is a left/right thing?”
But Hillary's emails. Checkmate, shitlibs. >:)
AllenSJ5 what the actual fuck does that even mean? hillary mishandled confidential info? didnt trump do that twice already? plus how does that have anything to do with allowing a foreign entity to persuade our election?
She ain't in the White House, jackass. You don't have to be a liberal to realize that this is just a shitshow. The integrity & security of our government may already be compromised, and you're just trying to make a scapegoat out of Hillary because of that scandal that didn't end with her confinement. You need some catching up on the KGB & the Cold War.
Robo Rollins he is a troll you idiot. How could you not see that?
how Russia is hostile? fighting isis?
These two together are great. Only missing Jon Stewart.
Don't forget Samantha Bee and her exceedingly handsome husband: Jason Jones.
FaeQueenCory Ok Jason, stop complimenting yourself online again ;)
Nice try, Trevor, shame of the Daily Show.
Truly, a host has never matched their President more perfectly:
Homophobic? Check.
Sexist? Check.
Ageist? Check.
Self-aggrandizing? Check x ∞.
There's a reason why everyone says that Full Frontal is the true successor to Jon.
Trevor is just that shit.
FaeQueenCory How is Trevor any of these things?
FaeQueenCory Clearly you didn't see Trevor's interview with Laura Jane Grace. He could not be a more empathetic interviewer of a transgender guest.
When the mind ticks and the heart beats together.
“You called downstairs to have your window opened.”
“...”
John is on the Late Show more often that he is on Last Week Tonight
I'm a simple man, I see a video started with:"John Oliv...", I hit like.
So this is the new thing now...huh? Every video comment section has to have that one comment that states, "I'm a simple man, I see [fill in the blank], I hit 'like.'" Wonderful. I was scared we'd run out of internet cliches. After all, hardly anyone types "First!" anymore.
Omg, I use this phrase, too! :D Although to make it a bit more sarcastic, I say: I am a simple neomarxist girl, I see John Oliver and press like. (neomarxist is a slur used by the conservative opposition in my country, probably something like libtard in the US)
Edlink Productions "Stephen and John"CLICK YASSS
So you like videos titles "John Olive is a horrible garbage of a person. Fuck him, fuck him very much."
Interesting.
Slim Moose That sounds like a joke from his show.😂 Great
Jon Batiste Chopin
That was a Chopin Nocturne, and no one realized it. that was amazing.
Oh John Oliver, how I love thee. And you have the loveliest mock-royalty handwave.
John does not skip leg day.
"You called downstairs to have your window open"
I died xD Hahahaha
JOHN OLIVER'S DIMPLES THOUGH LIKE IF YOU AGREE
I said up top that I keep expecting a Beetlejuice sandworm to lunge forth out of one of them.
My heroooeeessss~~~~!!!!
I wish I could thumb this up more than once...
Bruh Frog there needs to be a double thumber button
Gross
It's actually so true his lawyer quit today! lol
"You called downstairs to get your window opened."
"do you know, what his lawyer needs? a lawyer." - john oliver & stephen colbert, summer 2017
did anyone else notice that the band is playing a jazzy Chopin nocturne to introduce Oliver and nerd out a little
That Chopin Nocturne is pure genius, I swear
Jon Batiste is playing freaking JAZZED UP CHOPIN when John Oliver walks in. Freaking legend!
5:08-5:30--John summed up the state of our nation perfectly, and that summary is terrifying. With every passing day, I'm starting to think we're in the 21st century "Let them eat cake" era. The Trump family and administration and the rest of the American aristocracy have completely disconnected their minds and senses of empathy from what is reality for everyone else. Worse yet, because of their wealth, they view themselves as above that reality and above its laws. And all you have to do is look to history to see what happens when the nobles get too big for their britches.
He knew as much as he needed to know in order to play off of what they want. In other words, he's a liar who only said what he needed to say to win, but that doesn't mean he actually understands or cares about the lives of us commoners.
🤞🏽 still hoping for consequences forever later
Russian agent: "You called downstairs to have your window opened"
Me Internally: Should I be like who the fuck are you! Fight him. Tell him I support Trump ( I don't)
Me: "Oh yea yea yea.... um yea I did call...... Thank uuuuu?????
CozmicSaber's Opinions Russian Agent: "You called downstairs to have your windows opened."
Me: "It's cold, it's February, in. Moscow; how drunk was I last night?"
I need to hear from John Oliver right now
Loving the super classy Chopin intro for our super classy duo !!!
Stupid Watergate is about as accurate as it gets. In assessing the veracity of that term, it's best not to focus _initially_ on the players in 2017, instead taking a look at the major players from that 1972-1974 period.
Nixon was a smart man. Moreover, he was an extremely adept political force. In fact, with the exception of the Watergate burglars, for whom it is difficult to apply any positive appellation, all the major players were politically astute, from Haldemann and Ehrlichman through to Mitchell and Dean.
Their undoing was not so much a failure of their political astuteness as it was a kind of 'trickle down paranoia'. As for the 2017 crew...little to be said outside of the notion of 'gushing down stupidity'.
The deal is this: if the Nixons, Haldemans & Deans were rightly charged & convicted or forced to leave office, it must follow that the current administration is cruisin' for a bruisin'.
Agreed. Although, I would not underestimate the ability of 2017 conservatives to cover their ears and shout at the top of their lungs. Reality means nothing to them anymore.
Only if the Democrats control Congress. 2018 would have to be a major upset. And then the newbies don't start until 2019. And it would be 6 months to a year of impeachment hearings. By that time, it's 2020. We are turbo-fucked. The best we can hope for is that Trump has a nervous breakdown, and resigns. And then we have Pence (shudder). Major turbo fuck.
It's true, the Nixon comparisons make me defensive of Nixon, whose decisions on China, Taiwan, and international relations reflected research and thought and not just picking up the phone because it's ringing.
oliver is nice guy
0:15 possibly the most British hug ever
Michael Farník is back boobob
the band plays a chopin nocturne as he arrives!
How can America's greatest man be British?
Trump's British?
C P you tried to be clever but you just showed yourself to be a dumbass
trump is actually german
half Scottish
russian
Is anyone going to comment on the Chopin at at the start?
yeah, i just didnt know what to say. Its awesome. And I enjoy that.
Helena Wang omg thank you, it sounded so familiar. Amazing!
Holy shit, that jazzy rendition of Chopin was amazing.
I love this clip so much. John Oliver shows *exactly* the emotion that I feel. Stephen perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on what are going on:
"I'm used to a world where we are divided on things like abortion, or taxes, or government control of health care...have we come to a nation where *colluding with a hostile foreign power* to manipulate our election is a left/right thing?"
dont forget about the net neutrality bill! for this month!
Oliver is funnier than Colbert. There I said it.
Alexander Ross Counterpoint: HBO allows for much more risky comedic choices than CBS.
Also, people like different comedy styles. I too prefer Oliver's style, but I also realize part of it is some of Colbert's comedy just isn't my cup of tea.
I love how John Oliver always also greets the band ☺️
I could watch them tag team the issues all night! 😂😂 I love them both so much!
There is a song, "I want to be . . . consequence free. I want to live ... like a Trump."
"You called downstairs to have your window opened."
What?
Remeber the good ol years of the Colbert Report with John Oliver doing news skits? Im happy he made it to his own show!
TheBest Pickle Um, that never happened. Daily Show, sure.
my two favorite guys!
