That is the most authentic TMZ video with a celebrity I have ever seen. No backlash. Just a casual conversation.
I agree. Usually TMZ is cringe, but this was AWESOME.
The paparazzi guy was very decent, it goes to show the respect he has for John.
@thomasandrewclifford I initially missed the name, but it makes sense to send someone familiar. They will still be a bit annoying (it's their job), but get a better interview if the person is decent and John will make a small bit of extra time.
very annoying. i wish they would leave people alone. @@barkergirl33
I mean, there's no reason for TMZ to be a jerk to John. And knowing the traits of comedians, they will quip back at any accusations, in this case Musk's weak insult.
Self deprecating humor and quick wit is no match for any thin skinned narcissist billionaire.
Has to be the nicest paparazzi interaction I’ve ever witnessed.
Because both of them aren't American. Good night and god bless.
Fun fact! Because it's just the one, he's a paparazzo. You're right though, weird to see such a positive exchange. John even looked out for the camera guy (I think) when they were crossing the street!
Not paparazzi. It's the Young Turks, and they like him!
"He says how you're not funny-"
"It's a fair argument"
lmao
"You're not funny" - how trumpian. Grab your bleach hypo and move along,Elon.
Haha yeah it is a fair argument
meanwhile back in reality John has 19 Emmys and has been nominated 60+ times. hysterical. Talk about not resting on his laurels!
He has Humility. Something Musk knows nothing about.
Few can beat John Oliver at being self deprecating 😂
He nails it .. "I have no idea what that means and I bet he wouldn't be able to explain it to me."
Not in a way he'd openly understand. But inside he knows the no-no words, and if they changed, he'd speak to everyone else's tune, not his own.
@@johnhein2539what
Woke is a meaningless, catchall word used by morons to spout venom at anyone or anything they disagree with.
I know a lot of the left against this word wasnt around during 2016, but the word woke is just a synonym for the word social justice warrior.
@@inframaticit’s a dog whistle now, the meaning changed
He was so decent to this random guy who kept asking him questions even though he clearly needed to get on with his day... Lovely bloke 😊
He wasn't random, but a reporter for TMZ who John apparently knew by name, since he called him by it more than once in the video. Of course this doesn't mean that John is not lovely, he is!
His name is Charlie Cotton, pretty well known TMZ reporter.
Everyone loves speaking to Aussies, mate.
🦘🇦🇺
“good to see you charlie” what a guy
To his credit Charlie seems like a cool dood.
@@bazzfromthebackground3696most paparazzi get a bad rap - and it’s well deserved lol - but TMZ does have a FEW that are genuinely pretty cool and not pushy with celebs. This guy seems like one of the good ones.
they used to work together ages ago :P
Humour, self-awareness and humility... the good bloke trifecta. Throw in an impressively sharp mind, and John Oliver is simply unbeatable. What a legend.
I know John is now an American, but let's be honest, England didn't send their best.
I was impressed by how funny he was just "off the cuff", without a script.
It was weird seeing a TMZ guy have a genuinely pleasant interaction with a celebrity.
if you find john oliver funny or witty in any way you might genuinely be r3tarded
Hes literally got a lacky pushing his luggage and a security minder!
The way Jhon laughs it off and runs it into another joke is genius
Who has ever come out on top of a fight with a comedian??? Just don't do it. Just don't.
@@VladimirPutin-p3t especially not John Oliver because laughing at himself is such a part of his humour that there is no insult you can send his way, he has not used on himself better already
wokism is a plague.
@@VladimirPutin-p3t It's the difference between a comedian and a rightwing humorist.
The rightwing humorist would be hostile and triggered over such an attack, and complain about cancel culture, and make it all about the attack.
A good comedian will just laugh and make more jokes.
"He says you're not funny"
"Sure. It's a fair argument"
I love how self-deprecating John is. Earns him mad respect in my eyes!
Can't argue about taste. That is why John is many levels over Elon
That’s how British people are
Now THAT is a secure man. 😂
I love how casually dismissive he is of Elon Musk. As we all should be.
That Perfect slap on the face "seconda richest" is just fantastic.
That would bother him more then anything. This is a man who has everything and could have done so much good for the world and has in some areas, but his need to be loved by a cult of followers supersede that. He's like the loser in school who goes on to be so successful in life, but still has harbors that chip on his shoulder from school.
I was about to write a comment then I saw yours and nothing more needs to be said. well done
Always have been. Never saw the appeal he had to his fanbois. Not even a little.
@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 i used to be a fan of his. He got me with spacex and the better way of launching stuff into space. He lost me with how he treated his employees. And it only went downhill from there.
Picking a fight with any comedian never ends well, but picking a fight with John Oliver only has him dig deeper ending in more Emmy wins.
Every dig Elon has tried only confirms how terrible he is at humor. They are childish and unintelligent. Elon has the EQ of a 3 year old.
You can see how much it pains him that Musk is still upset lol.
Elon ought to look up the "Eat shit, Bob!" saga. 🎆👯🎊
Elon is the type to beg for a John Oliver beat down even before owning Twitter. What do you think happens when a Musk feud starts? Twitter blows up and it trends.
@@warchitect73he doesn’t do comedy, he finds other people on Twitter who make the jokes, copies them verbatim and then posts them as if its original.
0:36 “that’s a fair argument”, I love seeing John being self-deprecating. It’s a quality that so many narcissists lack (edit to add I’m not suggesting that JO is a narcissist, but others definitely are…)
I've know MANY narcissists and the deeper indulgences into Sociopath (like Trump). NONE have ever said one word that is self-deprecating.
Trump would be respectable to some degree if he was self deprecating from time to time. But trump is a thin skinned whiner who always toots his own horn and cries when he’s criticized. But that appeals to the man-child cult he’s attracted.
We're all a little bit narcissistic...
It's impossible to be the product of a narcissistic society and not have a little of it rub off on you 😶💜🙏🏽🕊️
He's British. It's a common character trait, over here in Britain - being self-deprecating.
We need some more of that British trait over here. Badly.
I love that John's reaction to any insult seems to be "Sure, it's a fair hit"
"I don't know what that means, and I don't think he could explain what that means". 🤣
If you can’t even start a fight with the guy, he’s probably a better human being than you.
FACTS
The only "fights" John Oliver engages in are comedic through his show and they usually end up helping a worthy cause.
💯
Have you ever noticed what a lightning-fast quick wit John Oliver has in any situation, and to any comment thrown at him? Such a hilarious and amazing guy.
Elon Musk "My dad owned a diamond mine" John Oliver " im from Birmingham"
Not sure all the Americans will get this, but I loved it!👍
Probably conflict diamonds
@@carolharris2401”Conflict diamonds” bloody ‘ell!
In fairness, you could argue that Birmingham was the original centre of the Industrial Revolution that totally transformed our species and planet. Way more impressive than some silly baubles that companies like DeBeers have managed to persuade people to buy for ridiculous money as a token of love and subsequent penury. (And I'm not even a brummie.)
Slight correction, emerald mine.
Only in America can you insult someone by calling them the second richest man in the world.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more respectful celebrity-paparazzi interaction than this one, on both sides.
John Oliver has done more good to American socioeconomic and political discourse than Musk could ever do in his 25 years of misery.
That's a really delusional take.
One has created multiple highly successful companies, responsible for 90% of the orbital delivery of satellites in the entire world, created the first Rockets capable of taking Humans to Mars and back, created the next Generation of AI technology in vehicles, and created an environment of free speech online.
The other is a middle-aged, overweight man with a middling comedy show and a not so impressive career.
What exactly are you using as metrics? Because you may need to retune it.
Musk is just a poster boy for commercialism. He's defo no genius. And Elon using childish right wing altered terms like woke to describe one of the biggest warriors against greed ridden spoilt brats like himself just proves that fact.
Oliver has a definite left slant. Elon spent 40bn$ for free speech.
Musk doesn't even have a clue what he's talking about.
He just throws out common phrases that are used to insult people without knowing what they actually mean or how they apply.
Could he always have been this dumb?
All the late nights should be made mandatory to show in school.
It seems one trick Elon Musk has never learned is to not take yourself seriously. Until he learns that (probably never) John Oliver and the whole world will be a thorn in his side.
Also John is expert at pre-emptively taking himself down a peg or two so others don't get the opportunity or the credit.
Elon used to be an uptight, soft spoken level headed nerd who wouldn’t even touch drugs, unfortunately he thought that learning to relax a bit meant “becoming a coked-out dictator”.
Musk reads to me as a man who is a 15/16 year old 90s edge-lord at heart and has been allowed to remain that way due to the virtue of his large fortune. “How cool would it be if I bought Twitter and renamed it ‘X’. It’s so cool. And I’d totally wreck the PC snowflakes.”
@@samuelbarber6177 Yup, when those tech/corporate titans start making obscene amount of money they start thinking they are Gods and can do no wrong. Doesn't help that they surround themselves with people who are paid to kiss their balls professionally.
@@MTMF.londonyeah, a lot of wealthy people suffer from that.
Worst is when they decide to go into politics
John is a true gem. And its not hard to see why he aggravated a fascist like Elon.
How is Elon a fascist? Please lay this out for me
@@digitalnevada77, ´cause he supports fascists.
@@digitalnevada77He is platforming fascists and silencing dissent, which is the first plank of fascism!
@@digitalnevada77he bought a social media company for 40 billion dollars (that is now worth 20) for the express purpose of re-platforming fascists.
Literally spent 20 billion dollars giving fascists a platform. And that's literally used literally, not figuratively.
@@digitalnevada77 Oh where to start...? Silencing journalists who criticize him on Xitter, repeatedly. Making antisemitic remarks, repeatedly. Making racist remarks, repeatedly. Making bigoted remarks repeatedly, including transphobic remarks when one of his own children is trans - and who also disowned him for his bigotry. Re-platforming fascists, racists and bigots of basically every stripe on Xitter. Fomenting racist and bigoted working environments at his companies (sued for that several times). Hindering workers' rights to freely associate and unionize. Propagandizing in the middle of a pandemic that a deadly virus isn't dangerous and will soon be gone, in order to keep his factories up and running and making money for him, putting workers' lives at risk for his own benefit.
I could go on, but you get the picture I assume. Like, if you don't get it by now why Elon is a fascist you're actively looking away from the multitudes of signs he's presenting.
What I love about John Oliver is he's John Oliver everywhere he goes. He's not "TV's John Oliver" and then in public going "well, that character I play isn't me, so no comment."
Not taking yourself seriously is one of the most fundamentally important things in life. People will say stuff and do stuff to hurt you, but if its all just water off a duck's back, you're essentially invincible.
Musk is living proof that wealth and social skills are not directly related. How he's achieved this much, without learning how to get along with any of the other kids is surreal.
It's gonna be an interesting and exhausting year for Musk and for MAGA i think.
its easy to acquire so much when you get almost a billion dollars with you from your parents slave emerald mines
@@ademirmochi5423 Where's the evidence? I'm interested to know.
Well, Musk is on the autism spectrum.
@@alanaland1990 "Do your own research!" - MAGA slogan
An exhausting year for all of us, I'm guessing.
He's just a good guy with the right amount of humility. Very much unlike the subject of the conversation...
This man is class 🤝
What a good sport John for answering those questions while being obviously quite busy.
This vid makes John Oliver seem like a pretty cool customer. Humble and unbothered.
I‘d bet a lot of money that John is loved and appreciated by more people than Elon is.
You'd be wrong, of course.
@@liquidmagma Based on what? The opinion of a MAGA a$$ in the youtube comments? You got your statistics where?
Musk has so many fanboys, it's ridiculous...
@@liquidmagma Nah wanting to be someone is not the same as being loved and appreciated, so you are the wronger ya genius.
@liquidmagma No I'd argue that the majority of Elon Musk fanboy's haven't felt a true emotion in their miserable incel existence
Team Oliver! No one can break that man!
No point in picking either team. Neither cares about you.
John Oliver is such a cool human being. Imagine walking around an airport parking lot like that and accepting an interview all while being totally down to earth and funny.
Why do all these people think they can go toe to toe with comedians? It's just humiliation after humiliation.
Most people don't realize that to be a good comedian actually requires a lot of intelligence, so when they try to take them on, they're at a serious disadvantage.
Dude: "...and says how you're not funny..."
Oliver: "It's a fair argument."
You can't really insult a self-deprecating Brit. Haha! Stay god, John... stay gold!
John Oliver is simply the best!!
John Oliver simply has breast?
Fact!!!
John Oliver has simply the best breast?
and musk is simply the worst! 😏
The best in pandering to the woke. Yes, he is!
Cancelled and woke are two words that in substance really don't mean anything. Maybe, one means criticism and the other is a pejorative term against those that do the critiquing.
woke is anyone to the left of center that states any opinion that someone right of center dislikes
I agree with what daporter8790 wrote, but the word "woke" is a useless term, unless you need the past tense of wake.
Woke definitely means something, what a dumb thing to say lol.
@@JohnGraves1985
We desire to be woken so please tell us more.
Exactly. Cancelled just means “I got called out, criticised and made accountable, boohoo”. And if an event gets cancelled due to complaints or low sales, that’s how a market economy works, so suck it up.
As he was crossing the street I felt like that place was familiar and I had been there. Then I was like "Oh shit, that's LAX." GTA did a good job at replicating it.
I grew up in LA, drove for Uber and Lyft, and recognize everything driving around in GTA 5. It’s uncanny 😅
I felt the same way about driving through San Francisco, I was like "good job GTA" 😂
I feel like we're talking about one of the GTA3 titles.
With so much anger and violence being promoted on the internet, it's great to see a pleasant, respectful exchange between two people.
"He says you're not funny" - TMZ
"Its a fair argument" - JO
Praise Be our Mega Reverent!
Praise Be!
To the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption, praise be.
@@raenoway praise be!
0:36 “It’s a fair argument.” Perfect retort.
Man I would love to have many beers with John O. and Seth and Stephen.
He just named my three favorites
They are globalists shills. Dude come on you can do better.
Wouldn't we all? I'm all for admiring people we'd love to be friends with.
Thin Skinned Elon has a nice ring to it. Hopefully it goes viral.
Anyone who uses "woke" as an insult/slur, has lost the argument before it even starts.
How congenial. If only our politicians could take a page from John Oliver's book on dealing with the public, we'd have a congress that could actually get some things done. It's fantastic to see he is a wonderful person when you tear down the fourth wall. Love these kinds of clips.
John Oliver is such a chill dude
All people like Elon Musk do when they open their mouths is give John Oliver and other comedians more material to work with. Thank you!
Elon Musk hasn't realised it yet, but he has simply become the Worlds richest lolcow
Few things annoy Elon more than being called "thin-skinned."
I don't think he cares. This is bread and circuses for the masses because the masses love having someone to laugh at.
@@rmj8905he definitely cares. He bans anyone on Twitter who criticizes him in even the mildest terms.
@@SarastistheSerpent It's called stirring the pot. Bread and circuses.
I love his use of the word evaporate. It’s such a perfect descriptor for that sentence.
I don't know if there is a strange irony here. But that's a Tesla Model 3 John Oliver walks past at exactly 1:01
JO is missed, and very funny and educational. I hope he comes back on soon, he’s taught us a lot about people, law and how our government works, along with our relationship with the rest of the world.
If people tuned in, caught up on older episodes of Last Week Tonight they absolutely would seem at least 50% less ignorant when Jimmy Kimmel’s people stop and ask them questions they should get 100-90% correct.
Also, I wish LAST WEEK TONIGHT was shown on a 24 hour loop, along with CSPAN and a couple MSNBC segments sprinkled in (like at Long John Silvers when you ordered fish and fries and occasionally got an onion ring or a shrimp in your fries) played on the January 6th insurrectionists common room television. They might learn something about giving their trust and loyalty to a gangster thug isn’t recommended, that’s using them and not at all has their interest at heart. Still using them to this day to campaign on. That isn’t really about them, it’s about his base voting for him and not turning on Trump, for not supporting them.
His show returns I believe in February 2024.
New episodes start Feb. 14, 2024
@@tonyrainbolt9388 Awesome!😎
My view is that Woke is a compliment for those who are self actualizing…the highest form of being aware of yourself and how you impact and are impacted by those around you.
So it has to do with that Carl Jung stuff of the individuation process?
In a celebrity death match Oliver vs musk. I’m all in on Oliver.
Naah, lets stop putting everything in death matches. Even the presidential elections have become just that. Such a sad simplification of reality. Life is not a computer game with a binary outcome.
"Lean in," John. Elon Muskrat doesn't stand a chance. Go after his sorry ass. Go get 'em. 😂
Get him how? What can John Oliver do to Elon Musk beyond make a few jokes or criticize him?
@@rmj8905 Absolutely. We all have a voice. Sometimes casual comments are the most insightful. Have at it.
Such grace and poise to a tmz reporter while he's clearly tired and "busy". Great work by both men.
You could not break Oliver even if you are one of the richest men on the planet. No amount of wealth can buy Musk a skin as thick as Oliver's.
After Oliver's Hot Ones interview, I think unless Musk faces a death threat at Edinburgh Fringe and comes out of it alive and laughing, he's nowhere near Oliver's level of thick skin...
We love ya professor duncan
That character was fantastic
@@blooddragon805 bloody fantastic !!!
In England, we call them Italian fannies
John is a true gentleman, whereas Elon is not
That is the British aspect
Neither is.
I Love John Oliver I can't wait for his show to return. He is educational and funny. I hope he keeps doing what he is doing
John’s a chill guy to do an short Q&A on the go….
Doesn't understand what pandering to wokeness means... sounds dishonest and avoidant to me.
He was very charming. How can someone be so nice, funny and polite while trying to get away from the person with the camera? 😄
Only a great comedian would consider himself “mid-tier”
I just liked a TMZ video, we are truly at the end. End of days, end of days!
Calling John woke is admitting that he is a very very funny man indeed. Funny in the smartest most intellectual way.
If elon thinks he's not funny why does he keep watching John Oliver
Google “Tesla owners run into trouble amid bitter cold.” Maybe Elon should be more concerned about Tesla recalls and deaths than his hurt feelings over a comedian he disagrees with. What a snowflake.
Tesla? How about every single electric car on the road, low-IQ dope
Why do you think a White Nationalist & Confidence Man is going to care about his customers??? After all he has made his brand toxic which can be seen by the poor resale values of his $hity cars...
I just want to hug that guy…ya know?
I so love John Oliver & the way he’s so chill & self-deprecating. ❤
It's because Elon Musk watched John Oliver's episode on Elon Musk. Oliver is a true class act.
Woke means EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT🛸
@trumpelon-c0tGH21 I noticed you left the critical part of my definition off - EMOTIONALLY. Do you even know EMOTION?
yeah, peak of dumb where VITCIMHOOD is celebrated and those who complains the most is the hero.
Keeping it light! I love that John Oliver keeps it light an answers the questions.
Love John but his old colleague at The Bugle podcast (equally hilarious and John's voice doppleganger) Andy Zaltzman must miss the banter sometimes. Be good to hear John join the podcast on a more frequent basis.
Sadly, his departure from The Bugle is the price we pay for Last Week Tonight. But I don't think the podcast would ever have provided him with two dark-suited minders to whisk him out of LAX.
I just got the Bugle archive...haven't heard them in years!
Kudos to John Oliver for actually talking, responding and being nice to the guy asking questions. Rare these days by celebs
A class act all around.
Got to love John Oliver! He is so naturally funny and smart
Jon Oliver has the moral compass Musk lacks…
What a brilliant little interaction.
I still remember when he said “You know things aren’t going well for you when you lose the moral high ground to a _TMZ reporter.”_
What an amazing guy. We need more humility and a good sense of humor like this these days.
Thats the most civil paparazzi encounter i have ever seen
Love you John Oliver!!! Keep up the great work that you do.
This has to be the friendliest and most polite Q&A with TMZ I've ever seen.
Then on the other hand, if TMZ would follow me everywhere I go and get on my nerves 24/7 like with most celebs, I would lose it.
I love the fact that John has a tactical backpack.
Every word is His answer was so calculated and smart. This guy is good! I think what he says will go over most peoples heads.
Love John Oliver!
Woke = intelligent and educated
I love the question "do you think this relationship will continue to dissolve" Like they were hypothetically friends or something beforehand.
Nice to see TMZ having a positive interaction with a celebrity.
"Woke" means aware and not going to take it anymore. "Not Woke" means thank you master for all you take from me.
Isn't that the idea of the red pill too though? Funny how both sides consider themselves to be awake.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
John Oliver seems so normal and down to earth. Keep it up JO
Here in this interview, yes. On his show, no.
@@rmj8905on the show as well.
John Oliver is beyond fabulous!
Australia
you are just happy about the koala clamydia ward^^
I LOVE that in this interview...John Oliver looks like me, a simple farmer, going about my morning chores! 🤩
Most chill tmz “reporter” in history
He says you’re not funny.
That’s a fair argument.
😂😂😂😂😂
I❤JO
Elon can't explain what "woke" is because he's turned his brain into Swiss Cheese with Special K. 💀
Johnnys the man tho 100%
Hey this is a good journalist. He is respectful and also slightly pushy, in a way which gets the consent of the subject in a pretty random location and makes the subject come across well. Rapport and simple honesty. I don't really follow TMZ or John Oliver, this just came up in my algorithm, but it's pretty cool footage. Maybe they knew each other already, but I couldn't do something like that.
I agree with everything that has been said below. That WAS the nicest interview with a celebrity on the go I ever saw. AND he had a real and sharp answer for every question. I just think JO is a gem.
We need him so much just like we need Jon Stewart.
Well done John. Can't imagine doing this myself
