Debo Datta Norway finished top of the medal table in 2014, after Russia were stripped of some medals for cheating. Norway used to totally dominate the Winter Olympics. Less so these days but I think they’re still third on the all time medal table.
Norway is actually still leading the all time winter medal tables. But not if you're including all the versions of Germany (east/west) and Russia/Soviet Union. In that case, Germany is nr. 1.
For a moment, I thought you were calling John Oliver a tiny but delicious cookie. Then I realized you were talking about interview length. But I wish I could take a snapshot of the image in my head to show you what John Oliver looked like as a small but delicious cookie when I misunderstood your post!
... I mean, he still was the same relative size as the studio and its contents-they were just shrunk down with him to turn into a very ornate cookie box. It looked expensive. But man, a miniature of that studio with cookies of John Oliver and Stephen Colbert? I'd sell a car to get that! If I had one. ... Wanna buy my non-existent car? I could make one out of a cookie or two.
Cos we are so stuck up we don't realise that Theresa May is just as bad. Wonderful thing about dual citizenship - each time one of our leaders fucks up I can be like "nuffing to do with me!"
"fun fact" : Hitler had refused to congratulate a black gold medalist days before Jesse Owens' victories. The IOC protested against this discrimination, but from then on he simply didn't congratulate any medalist in the stadium anymore (white or black). Therefore, they never met in person. But check out the story of Luz Long, the german long jumper who competed against Owens in the finals. He was first to congratulate Jesse, hugging him, like a true sportsman (or human being) would do. Luz Long didn't see "color", he saw a gifted athlete competing against him in a fair setting. The crowd in the stadium was partisan, booing, but not because Owens was black (he was a super star, they loved him, cheering him on in other races), but because they wanted the German to win. There is footage of this on RUclips.
I think Jesse Owens talked about being treated better in Germany than he was in the US at the same time. Germany had very, very few black people, so while they weren’t considered part of the master race, in practice they weren’t seen as a threat or actively hated like the Jewish people were.
Ollie B problem with that is. 40% of is are "nazi supporters" and the rest of us are getting mocked and shamed for trying to get rid of the "nazi supporters"
John Oliver out-comedies all other comedians in their one-on-one appearances. He may not do winter sports, but he takes the gold (platinum?) for all-season wit. Plus he's so good he makes the other players look better than they are...he plays with them, not against them. Respect.
Quite true, one of the very few things in sport Norway has going for them is the Winter Olympics. One fiftieth the population of the US, still almost fifty more Olympic medals total. Most winning nation in the Winter Olympics with a population of less than six million.
Yes, they have Taron Egerton (the fellow from Kingsman) Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken no less. It's alright, worth a watch. I remember Eddie the Eagle at the time as a kid so it was quite amusing in parts.
Ashmita Nandy yeah it was great! Check it out it should be on Netflix. I was pleasantly surprised. And Hugh Jackman is some sweet eye candy in those tight jeans!
Elizabeth Britton i'm eternally grateful for that. I had watched that interview when it first aired but only halfway and then forgot about it. thank you SO much!!
I have got to admit, I love seeing you guys together. We're expats living in Indonesia (!) and we have to thank you both for bringing what we Love, and what we ... are perturbed about.... about our country out there for all of us! BTW, we have this rat glue here (that I hate to buy), that is very sticky ... Dot dot dot dot dot... dot dot.. Anyway. YOU GUYS ROCK! Thank you.
I'd like to see John Oliver 5/days a week, but I'm afraid it would literally kill him. They do ALOT of research on their topic. Doing that 5/days a week is nearly impossible.
All of you who don't know Eddie the Eagle, make sure you look into it!!! Truly inspiratiokal. There is even a movie about him, co-starring Hugh Jackman!
Not quite sure why he was going on about Eddie "the eagle" Edwards. Eddie knew there was no chance of a medal or even doing well. It was just going to the Olympics and doing it. He did do it and made a clean jump. If you look at the video, it's a pretty scary thing to do. He had trained and made the Olympic jump with decent form. So he placed last. So what. It took guts and determination and he did it totally on his own. I say bravo Eddie.
Stephen: "Keep in mind, we're on CBS." John: Shits and cusses at the Olympics. Someone hand this guy all the awards and knighthoods known to mankind, because he slayed it!
As an Australian there is nothing better than beating the English, not British, in a sport and then relentlessly reminding them of it for the rest of their days. Especially a winter sport. I feel this is something Americans should be more privvy to. We love it!!!
“There’s a British side of really respecting a good defeat. That’s why we like Dunkirk so much. “ I cry so hard after this.
Norwegian?? Usually its all Canadians and Russians winning in the winter Olympics
Debo Datta Norway finished top of the medal table in 2014, after Russia were stripped of some medals for cheating. Norway used to totally dominate the Winter Olympics. Less so these days but I think they’re still third on the all time medal table.
+Debo Datta i think he was just using this scenario to imply about trumps love of norway

Yonderlake
The Brits will forgive Any disaster, as long as it’s done Grande.
When two great comedians get together it's like watching a drunken conversation that makes sense
M0oranshi Ikks
Especially when they're good friends
The respecting a good defeat, that's why we like Dunkirk joke was pretty clever lol
You should watch Craig Ferguson interview Robin Williams, it’s insanely unique back-n-forth.
The historical jokes are way too amazing
I want a talk show with simply Stephen, John and Jon talking about whatever they want to talk about once a week.
Sounds like a podcast!
Sounds good--especially if Samantha Bee is a regular guest! The four of them together=comedy brilliance.
I second that
i could do without stewart tho
Yea, right, just like you would overlook Michael Jordon when picking teams for a pickup basketball game.
I rarely watch the interviews, but John Oliver is one I always watch. Love this guy.
'Keep in mind you're on CBS.'
'Oh uh ********************''
God bless this man. That bleeping was beautiful.
M0oranshi “they’re not on cbs”
I've never enjoyed Winter Olympics discussion so much.
that was NOT ENOUGH john oliver.
its like giving a starving man a delicious but tiny cookie.
cant wait for season 5 to finally begin!

I love John Oliver so much lol.
Damn, Oliver's sharper than I thought. This interview had so many great quips in it. "He loves Norwegians to a genuine fault."
When Trump is your President, *_Last week tonight_** should be atleast 5 days/week.*
_John Oliver is the most powerful antidote to Trump's Bullsh!t_
I couldnt agree more!
I like his one day a week shows but otherwise I couldn't agree more.
Cos we are so stuck up we don't realise that Theresa May is just as bad. Wonderful thing about dual citizenship - each time one of our leaders fucks up I can be like "nuffing to do with me!"
the_dead_poet Bill Maher is #1.. parrot is #2
Be part of the studio audience at his show in NY. You might experience a change of heart.
i'm so looking forward on oliver's update of 'stupid watergate'!!!!
I love these two men together. I could watch them read the phone book and laugh hysterically.
Ah the return of the witty parrot!! I've missed him!
Ashmita Nandy Witty Parrot lol. Too accurate 👌🏾
Zazu!
The witty parrot who has spiders for hands!
Season 5 of Harry Potter and the Half Hour Lecture!
How do you have so many top comments in late show RUclips videos? XD
If you're going to fail, fail spectacularly.
"Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn"
deployedkitty Sounds a lot like Pratchett. Who's it really?
JR S - Embarrassingly I got that quote from a picture of a fortune cookie. Let us never speak of this again.
deployedkitty Ha! That surpasses even Sir Terry ;)
I think that's Elon Musk's motto.
Fun Fact: Eddie the Eagle was in the same year as the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team.....Calgary 1988
:)
*MY BODY IS READY*
For whom? Oliver or Colbert? Or both? No judgement.
The best about Eddie the Eagle was that he was a full time postman- he really made Britain think about Winter sports more. He’s a legend...
"So, a crazy British guy just decided 'how hard can ski jumping be?' and HE fucking LEARNT!" I'm crying rn xDD
I love how John Oliver is laid back in all interviews he does...2:49 - Do I look like engage in winter sports? Couldn't have been more sincere
I AM SOOO READY FOR SEASON 5!!
If they call 7FEB John Oliver Day I will accept that as a birthday present... and no parade is required. 😀
Tito Tim ... Yes! Me too! Same! And Happy belated birthday!
But a birthday parade would not go unappreciated :P
And he'll spend the entire day on a float with a copy of his show's desk, lecturing us about the opioid crisis in kittens.
Happy Birthday
Happy belated birthday!
Oh john, i love your interviews so much
Damn. This guy was on fire tonight. He didn't miss a beat
Two of my favorite hosts together!! Love them both!
At 0:12 when they both said 'five' and like, they're such bros. Like, the ultimate nerdy bromance, these two. Also, I love John Oliver
Jon oliver day is my birthday , i can live with that
Younes ZH happy birthday~
thank you you are sweet
Happy Birthday
Happy belated birthday, Younes. My late father´s birthday too, I am sure he could also have lived with it being turned into John Oliver day.
Thanksss
Stephen is why I came but the news of LWT coming back was the highlight of this show for me. Can't Frickin wait.

ILuvAyeAye that's true. There is a documentary where he tells that story, and where he met Luz Long's son (Long had died in WWII)
Ollie B problem with that is. 40% of is are "nazi supporters" and the rest of us are getting mocked and shamed for trying to get rid of the "nazi supporters"
+EveryDay Take your idiocy back to Alex Jones. The adults are talking.
Not going to say anything just going to leave this here

Why doesn't John Oliver get more laughs? He's hilarious!
They are listening very carefully.
They gave him a standing ovation at the start of the show.
He's too sophisticated&intelligent for the American audience
John Oliver, lots of love from the Netherlands!
I love them so much they just need a show themselves where they talk about the news and stuff.
LAST WEEK TONIGHT IS ALMOST BACKKK!! :D
I'm British and I think both of these gents are great. Colbert is just charm and class personified.
No joke though Stephen gets better looking with age.
productplacementads 24/7 he’s a fine wine that we are chugging in the dark to get through the trump presidency
He is aging impeccably, but god damn, I just watched a bunch of old Daily Show clips and he was absolutely smokin hot in the early 2000's.
I have to say, i do enjoy John's look as well.
@@salientsolution5436 The white hair is EVERYTHING
@@randomuser6907 The dorky silver fox look is great on him!
John Oliver is a blessing upon this earth

I love how John has actually real fun edgy things to say and Stephen can't even reply because CBS is always watching to make sure they say nothing
Can it be February 18th already. John Oliver, our country needs you
Quite true, one of the very few things in sport Norway has going for them is the Winter Olympics. One fiftieth the population of the US, still almost fifty more Olympic medals total. Most winning nation in the Winter Olympics with a population of less than six million.
I HAVE WAITED ALL DAY FOR THIS
Omg I love how information dense this was and through how much they got. It’s always fun to listen to John Oliver, this witty parot
Those two together, are awesome!
Great banter between them! That was hilarious. The video before was great too! These guys should be together more often!
I love these two men so much.
So nice to see a REAL interview on TV once in a while...
As a Korean, It's not about turning the situation. This is a great step forward for both side.
as an american, pray god it works.
Didn't they make a movie about Eddie The Eagle sometimes back??
Ashmita Nandy quite recently in fact, yes!
Yes, they have Taron Egerton (the fellow from Kingsman) Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken no less. It's alright, worth a watch. I remember Eddie the Eagle at the time as a kid so it was quite amusing in parts.
It was good, today's cool runnings, but not as hilarious
Well lets be real, nothing can ever match up to Cool Runnings! (Eddie the Eagle was good though!)
Ashmita Nandy yeah it was great! Check it out it should be on Netflix. I was pleasantly surprised. And Hugh Jackman is some sweet eye candy in those tight jeans!
I love how absolutely unapologetic he is about swearing on CBS. I fucking love this nearsighted parrot!
My two favorite hosts of shows that occur at semi regular intervals
Okay, I have to admit that John was killing it with the 1936 Olympics reference.
The chemistry between these two is so fucking good!
John's cynicism is just like....*kisses lips* ....so beautiful
I am in love w John.
February 7th is round the corner and we are all set for John Oliver day! Stephen and John have great conversations
If you haven't seen John Oliver being tickled. I have a treat for you, go watch his interview with Russell Howard. You will love it. Your welcome x
Elizabeth Britton i'm eternally grateful for that. I had watched that interview when it first aired but only halfway and then forgot about it. thank you SO much!!
I love this interview so much, I want to have children with it. Thank you so much for this, Sirs! :D
I'm loving John's confidence in this interview 😂 get more comics in as guests!!
Love john oliver here as guests
"There's a British side of really respecting a good defeat, that's why we like Dunkirk so much."
Great quote
I have got to admit, I love seeing you guys together. We're expats living in Indonesia (!) and we have to thank you both for bringing what we Love, and what we ... are perturbed about.... about our country out there for all of us!

Oh I've missed you, Johnny Strong.
And I wanna see if today is another John Oliver Day. Will see 😂😂😂😂
A lovely interview.
Oh my heart. I thought it was John's show already.
“I’ve been on skates and I can get off the wall a bit.” Same
Eddie "The Eagle"...ah how I loved the film. Never thought I'd hear his name mentioned anywhere.
All of you who don't know Eddie the Eagle, make sure you look into it!!! Truly inspiratiokal. There is even a movie about him, co-starring Hugh Jackman!
John Oliver is such a witty nerd. I love it!
I watched Eddie the Eagle movie and it was FANTASTIC!
Great guest. Always good.
I am an English teacher in germany and just taught my 7th graders about Eddie the Eagle. They loved him :D
I ❤️ John Oliver!
These two gentleman together are comedy gold.
Winter sports JO indulges in : tiddlywinks, snakes and ladders, book cricket..
Don't forget shinanigans.
Greetings from Norway! Sorry about the winter Olympics... We love it though!
Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver podcast for the drive home from work. Do it. Do it.
I from Russia. I like John Oliver. He is so funny.
John Oliver should be a required guest at least monthly! Perhaps even weekly!
The only thing I'm grateful to Trump, is that because of him, now i follow every day Stephen, John, Seth, Bill and Jimmy.....
salvatore palazzo that’s exactly who I follow, too. But lately all the trump things are just becoming too boring in them always being ridiculous...
No Trevor?
Switch bill and jimmy for Trevor and that sentence makes sense
and Trevor and Jordan. Conan and Fallon are still only worth it when the guests are good. Graham is killing it though!
Whassamatta for youse guys? Sam Bee is chicken liver? C'mon now!
Literally had me laughing out loud guys. Thank you. :)

I love when talkshow hosts interview other talkshow hosts xD
There should be a podcast! Lets get them all s2
Stephen: "Keep in mind, we're on CBS."
John: Shits and cusses at the Olympics.
Someone hand this guy all the awards and knighthoods known to mankind, because he slayed it!
As an Australian there is nothing better than beating the English, not British, in a sport and then relentlessly reminding them of it for the rest of their days. Especially a winter sport. I feel this is something Americans should be more privvy to. We love it!!!
This video makes me happy
I wish the camera caught that moment around the 1:14 mark when John slaps his knee (I think???) I love when he does that.
Love his laugh. 😄
Nobody remembers who got gold against Edwards, that’s all I’m saying
All Finns remember Matti Nykänen.
That line about British defeat and Dunkirk is pretty clever. And true too.
"That seems like a highly skilled thing to do. I think I'm done watching a Norwegian doing it."
We need a joint Colbert Oliver Late Show in this world!!
Let’s face it as good as Colbert is John is Just amazingly better funnier more knowledgeable
Can't wait for season 5!
I met Eddie the eagle bar hopping during the Calgary ‘88 olympics. Great guy!
Yeah, the Nazis thought Norwegians were awesome, too. Most Norwegians were not flattered.
These guys help remind me that differences and all, we really are in this together xD
Hahaha this Jon Oliver fella is real funny guy. A born entertainer.
This should be a Monthly interview period
