@@samn6498 I used to love his work ten years ago, but as I learned more and more about him, I got more and more disturbed. I'm also not a teenager anymore, so I guess that's something, too.
Cool John Oliver story. I met him at JFK airport. Told him I really liked his work. He seemed to genuinely appreciate it and said "Oh cheers thank you". Shook his hand and went on my way. Turns out we were on the same flight to the Bahamas. As I walked past him and his family on the plane he recognized me, smiled and waved. Thought that was so cool. I didn't want to come across as a weird fan so I was not planning on saying anything to him again. But at the baggage claim he went out of his way to tell me and my girlfriend "have a great trip guys!". Such a class act and completely down to earth. I don't agree with all his stances but will be a life-long fan anyways.
I think interacting with people in an airport really shows you who they are as a person. More often then not they just want to get to the destination and be done with travelling, hardly anybody is in a great mood because everybody just wants to be at their destination. So the fact that he was super chill and polite like that speaks volumes to me.
A friend and I met him a couple times in NYC, more than a decade ago. We met him once in Union Square and once outside of his comedy show. Celebrity status aside, it was pretty cool talking to him as a person. Smart and funny, and down to earth like you said.
His "stances" are non-existent. Let's say His Family stood to suffer from any of the things he reported on. Would he make a video pleading with the decision-makers in charge to please tyrannize us slightly less or try & get immediate solutions? Thinking "things *should* be better" when you have the capacity to _make_ them better isn't a stance. In fact it's a great illustration of avoiding taking one. He's waiting for "someone" to "do something" which no one suffering immediate consequences has the luxury of doing.
Oh he’s done so much with hbo money is great my favorite was his most recent the putektek bird of the century campaign where he destroyed the competition by a mile
The science caught up to football and people still watch it, play it & sign their children up for recreational brain trauma. If the science says its not poison but may-as-well-be, people will still be eating it & watching millionaires endure torture.
Contemplating my liver biopsy report bad news this morning, it was welcome relief to laugh so hard. The ex engineer in me briefly considered what spicy cellular mutagens the host must have accumulated over time but “oh the humanity” of shared pain & rueful laughter eclipsed the rational! Great show & welcome comic relief!
"Even as you're waiting for major change that you think might not come, incremental change is possible and valuable." Thank you, John. I really needed to hear that today. Also I love your work!
I adore John. I also can’t get over how British he took this whole thing. He stayed composed with understatements like “I didn’t like that” while tears are coming out of his eyes. Incredible.

"Dynamic pricing system... These beans are more than you thinks." ~ John, the cashier Robin Hood. 😂He's always been a G. Sean and John are two of my favorites!
I worked in a Dive Bar that had that system. When I started, the old timers would tell me the price they were charged for their drinks, and the owner had another amount for the people who were new/part of the gentrification of the area. Basically, the new prices were for all, once the last of the old regulars, who would show up at 7 am daily, died. RIP, Moon.
I should add that I used the Dynamic Pricing System in my dog training business, going forward. If you paid for a dog, it will be reflected in the price of my visits, as will if you rescued one from Death Row. If you can afford $2,000 and up for a pup, you don't need me to lend you equipment to try, or to donate my time. But hey, that's my business model. You don't have to agree!

Da Bomb needs to put John's review of it on their bottle from now on IMO. "An objectionable thing for humanity to do. It's not the worst thing we've ever done, but it's part of our worst instincts."
John's answer to the last question reminded me of one of my favorite qoutes. Mr Rogers, when he was a kid and saw some tragedy on TV, his mom would tell him, "Look for the helpers. There are always helpers."
He was truly an inspiration and an certainly seemed to be an eternal optimist. I'll never forget how Fox "News" called Mr. Rogers an evil man who ruined a generation.
@@ChemistTea It means that no matter how bad the situation is, there are always going to be those who are willing and ready to make it better. Don't let yourself fall into thinking that everything is terrible and there is no fixing it, rather rely on the faith that change is possible, and that there are those out there wordlessly and incrementally enacting change.
The "content black hole" analogy really hit the nail on the head. It's so easy to get caught up in the never-ending cycle of consuming content without even realizing it. Time to reevaluate how I spend my time!
Especially when so much of it at the moment is human suffering. We were never meant to deal with so much tragedy at once and we’re making ourselves mentally ill from it.
When reddit had their kerfuffle a few months back, I used it as an excuse to quit it like a bad habit. I was spending 10+ hours a day on reddit doom scrolling.

"Even as you're waiting for major change that may not come, incremental change is possible and valuable." Truer words have never been spoken and need to be taken to heart by all.
He's such a quick comedian.. maybe not the fastest, but the quality of the joke combined with the speed in which his mind thinks of it, makes him one of my favorites.. especially when he's being interviewed.
@@JohnnyJohnny-f5o I don't think I intended there to be a difference brotha. I could've said he's 'not the quickest' instead of 'not the fastest'.. I meant the same thing, sorry for the confusion.
This might be one of THE best interviews in this shows history. John was great, Sean was peak. The reactions were priceless. And the ending hug to wrap it up.
@@slyceth a talk show host under extreme duress, though. There is nothing in British cuisine to prepare one for something like this. It really was a step for him.
Philip DeFranco's episode has been my favorite for years, but John Oliver just stole the show. His final answer? *Perfection.* He didn't just land the dismount. He took home the gold. John Oliver is literally one of the people who keeps me holding on in this world and I am so grateful to have him.
John gave us an amazing quote I paused to write down at 21:57, "Incremental change is possible, and valuable" and I think this will stay with me for the rest of my life because I think more people need to know that and be told that.
Dramatic change is possible and valuable too. It’s also hyper necessary at this point in time where incrementalism has only ever served the powerful and pacified the people.
"I love lamp." - Brick What we can infer from this statement is found in the related Quora submission What is the meaning of “Worthy is thy lamp”? A former pastor's response is this. "The phrase is “worthy is the LAMB.” Worthy means worth, that is the LAMB is of such worth to receive God's blessings. The lamb is the symbolic name for Jesus."
Sean Evans needs to teach several master classes in interviewing. I think he's one of the greatest EVER. John said, "Wow, that's a really good question," TWICE, and was clearly stunned by how many odd jobs Sean knew he'd done. And every interview, Sean serves the same quality!
John took a _second_ bite of that one wing almost everyone hates. What an absolute madlad. Spittin' facts and sheddin' tears - such an enjoyable episode!
I was honestly surprised by how well he did. This somehow was simultaneously both far less unhinged and far less interview-like and more like a regular conversation than any other Hot Ones I've seen before. (I'm one of those people who don't watch every one, though.)
You don’t force feed us anything John. We are doing our best to lead by empathy, and you help us understand so that we can strive for equality. Thank you for everything you do.
This episode felt half as long as any other episode I've watched, and that is a testament to the absolute perfection of John Oliver as a guest. GOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
John's closing sentiments remind me of Gandalf's sentiments to Pippin in Return of the King: "Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
The honesty in his nature, the lighthearted self depreciating humor, the wit with its dark shadows- that's a very refreshing and enjoyable change of pace from the standard celeb vibe
@@ScramblethinkJD of course there's are pros and cons on each side of the fence, but in this regard, European culture as a whole generally doesn't take fame as seriously in comparison to the star-studded dreams of every man, woman and child in the States. Also, you just gotta love the extra dry humor
That final question and answer could be the most profound interaction in Hot Ones history, and that's saying a lot. I loved every minute of this episode.
As a Brit, I love hearing about the Edinburgh Fringe talked about on such a big platform. It is such a special place, celebrating all forms of art and performer and style. I love going to free or cheap shows, not knowing if it will be good but also not caring, because in there are absolute gems. It was an honour to perform there and I will never forget it
"...kiss the cross bar...in...I'm running...GOOOOOOAL!" and "...you got a B-minus movie you wanna sell, earn it..." are my favorite John Oliver quotes in this
I don't think I've ever heard the crew laughing in the background so much, this was so wholesome and so funny. What an incredible guest to land. And he plugged someone else's stuff at the end?! Come on now.
I just discovered John Oliver recently. Sometimes after work when I feel like crying I will revisit old stories that remind me someone out there cares. John, you are a light in the dark. That free kick was legendary.
Highly HIGHLY recommend watching Jon Stewart if you aren't already. The Problem was great and on youtube and he'll be hosting the Daily Show again on Mondays starting in about 2 weeks. Both Jon and John are my favorite late night hosts.
John Oliver is awesome. I randomly met him while walking in NYC. He was with his young son so I didn't ask for a photo but I work in news so I thanked him a lot for his work and how important it is. He seemed genuinely happy I told him that.
What I like most about John is that he allows himself to laugh and giggle along with the joke teller. It seems that most comedians just let jokes drip off them and not react, as if they're the only ones who can be funny...or if they're in one of those cliques, then they're suddenly all the funniest in the room. It's almost like he has actual joy. Edit: Interviewer on interviewer would have to be...............Chris Hansen
John's "Stockholm Syndrome" and "My Vietnam" takes were just what I'd expect from this legend! Man, was this fun to watch - I love these two guys together!
Policies are more important than politicians and good on John Oliver taking these huge bites. I've seen this show many times before, lots of people don't do that.This interview needs to be one of the most watched, this is one of the best if not the best Hot Ones I've ever seen.
ive gone to one of his live tapings before and he lets and audience ask him questions before the show and he always answers them so genuinely and you can tell he really loves people and a nice guy. foe being famous, very down to earth. He was so sweet and nice to the audience.
The fact he took his time for promotion to promote someone else’s book was incredible. It confirmed my belief in John Oliver as one of the best humans on this rock.
You can say all you want about how Sean is a good interviewer because he does his research. It’s clear as day that his research is a product of his dedication to really bond with the guest. It’s one thing to do deep research as a gag or a gimic. It’s a completely new class of act when Sean does it from the bottom of his heart. Sure he probably does it for the views at the end of the day, but keep up the genuine acts of kindness, Sean.
@@thomasbecker9676Same. Someone in the real world told me about Hot Ones like 6 years ago. And a few years ago there was a buzz where everyone was talking about the show. And now they got flipping Hot Pockets in my small town grocery store. I dont really follow internet tail wagging trends. You can have all the big names on your show you want, but most of us arnt going to care unless the real world is talking about it.
@@thomasbecker9676 Mythical Kitchen is the culinary channel offshoot of Good Mythical Morning, Josh is the guy in charge there, he's great, they're all great, and Last Meals, their interview show, is good.
I’ve watched every single episode of last week tonight several times over as a leftist pizza delivery driver needing something to listen to while driving, and I’ve learned to appreciate John as a comedic, chaotic good entity that inspires me to do good in ways I never would’ve appreciated otherwise. John Oliver inspired me to take part, and I can’t thank him enough for the laughs and inspiration. My hours of underpaid labor were made worth it, because I spent them being inspired by him.
The behaviour of the guest would change if they are made to feel like they are 'performing' in front of a larger audience and would no longer be as authentic. The 1 to 1 nature with a few laughs is part of the charm!
I'll be honest, it's the first episode of this show I've watched, but the crew's laughs did make the video a lot more enjoyable for me too. The setting is very clean, but could end up feeling a little "empty" or "lonely", or "isolated", and the background laughs brought a welcome feel of "they're not alone in the void". And, of course, the fact that they're genuine, honest laughs, that are still very much in the background and not explicitly "meant to be heard" (as in, there's no dedicated mic for them or camera switch or w/e), contributes to the overall feeling of sincerity and spontaneity. So yeah - completely agree with you, the crew's laughs played a surprisingly large part in my enjoyment of the video (on top, of course, of the content of the video itself).
@@vatinas7214 Welcome to the club. Highly recommend sorting the channel by 'most viewed' and catching up on some of the most popular episodes. Been a fan since the first season and it's only gotten better every year. Love this show so much, a few years back I took a detour to Heatonist in Brooklyn while on vacation in NYC. If you love hot sauce, it's paradise.
I did not know of this man before i watched this and this was one of the best episodes i have watched. I will now be checking out more of John Oliver's content. And Sean is always an amazing interviewer and host.❤❤😊😊
This is everything I've ever wanted from an episode, including John Oliver. Watching him progress through the wings, while being able to still talk in that very specific way, is such a delight.
John Oliver is my RUclips go to guy. I watch every single J.O. video the algorithm sends me and he NEVER disappoints me. He is as my father used to say about Robin Williams "Chronically strange"..... Indeed dad and wonderfully so.
As someone who is super prone to doom spiraling and over thinking, last week tonight helps me actually process horrific stories and situations. The jokes force my brain out of “my god everything is awful and I can’t do anything about it” mode. Thanks for everything John, can’t wait for you guide me through more nightmares of society
It's like having to take some horrible medicine and mixing it with something sweet. Does it make the horrible stuff taste great? No, but it helps you get it down which is the important part. John mixes horrible news with comedy. The comedy helps us get the horrible news down. Then, once we've internalized the horrible stuff, instead of feeling dejected about how horrible it is, we can laugh at the comedy bits while we work to fix it.
I read Say Nothing just because he plugged it at the end of the video instead of promoting his own projects, which is quite a recommendation. It is an great read for anyone with connections to Northern Ireland, Ireland or England, recounting in amazing detail the lives of primary figures within the Troubles in Northern Ireland (1960s-1990s). Read it, then watch Derry Girls 🙂
Britain started the fighting in the 1920's when it had died down and kept it going for decades. They don't want to change that flag and use religion to base it on.
I love how some guests just dive so much into it and seem to just go with it 110% like John being cautious from the beginning to suddenly just catching himself wondering "Why do I keep eating this"? 😂 absolutely wonderful episode!
This man helps my workout regimen in so many ways. He breaks down topics that I wish "the (commercial) news" would touch, topics that make me angry enough for things like battle ropes where otherwise I'd just be breaking glasses without his commentary to distill the horrible instincts of humanity into something useful; he does it with such levity that I say "**** it, me feet are destroying my life, but there are worse things in the world, so I'll run today if I can listen to this"; and by Gods does he help with core day. Laughter during planks is such a game-changer that I almost have abs now. Thanks John. PS: cashier robin hood is the archetype I strive for.
There aren't many people in news I'd consider "vital" in terms of how we progress in digesting news, but John Oliver is one of them. He's just an important human being, and we are lucky to exist alongside him.

That had me rolling.
Da Bomb needs to put John's review of it on their bottle from now on IMO.
"An objectionable thing for humanity to do. It's not the worst thing we've ever done, but it's part of our worst instincts."
Honestly Da Bomb has a huge well of celebrity reviews to go to because of Hot Ones
there were zero good intentions behind its creation
Laughed out loud with this XD
Loved that.
It's funny because I have had it in my cabinet since before I knew this show existed. I love it. I'm on my 3ed bottle.
John is not a hugger. That he got up and gave him a hug says a lot about this experience. 🤣
he was high on da bomb
This man is the perfect intersection of smart, funny, and bird
I needed this laugh. Thank you
😂
I'm still laughing as I write this: LOLOLOLOL!
Dont forget 'establishment shill'
@@organikness Yeah maybe if any of his opinions were original you could call him "smart", but alas, this is not the case.
John's answer to the last question reminded me of one of my favorite qoutes. Mr Rogers, when he was a kid and saw some tragedy on TV, his mom would tell him, "Look for the helpers. There are always helpers."
I was thinking the same thing.
He was truly an inspiration and an certainly seemed to be an eternal optimist. I'll never forget how Fox "News" called Mr. Rogers an evil man who ruined a generation.
somehow it makes me weep😭
What does it mean?
@@ChemistTea It means that no matter how bad the situation is, there are always going to be those who are willing and ready to make it better. Don't let yourself fall into thinking that everything is terrible and there is no fixing it, rather rely on the faith that change is possible, and that there are those out there wordlessly and incrementally enacting change.
The "content black hole" analogy really hit the nail on the head. It's so easy to get caught up in the never-ending cycle of consuming content without even realizing it. Time to reevaluate how I spend my time!
It´s been 3 Hours since you posted this. How´s it working ?
Just like all things, it's about balance.
Especially when so much of it at the moment is human suffering. We were never meant to deal with so much tragedy at once and we’re making ourselves mentally ill from it.
When reddit had their kerfuffle a few months back, I used it as an excuse to quit it like a bad habit. I was spending 10+ hours a day on reddit doom scrolling. Now I waste the time on other things but not all on one site. Some sites are drugs, I even cringe now every time I open reddit for a reference link.
Bro youre just advertising your channel 😂
"Science hasnt caught up yet with what you've done to your body"😂😂😂 "This is my Vietnam" 😂😂😂
"Even as you're waiting for major change that may not come, incremental change is possible and valuable."
Truer words have never been spoken and need to be taken to heart by all.

The fact that he came up with that while actively dying of spice overload is a testament to just how amazing John Oliver is
He's such a quick comedian.. maybe not the fastest, but the quality of the joke combined with the speed in which his mind thinks of it, makes him one of my favorites.. especially when he's being interviewed.
he is unique, a gem :D
You don't need to be the fastest runner when you hit the ball out of the park.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia for sure, but he is still one of the fastest comedians while still hitting for power. He's one of the best.
Wait, what's difference between quick and fast in this comment?
@@JohnnyJohnny-f5o I don't think I intended there to be a difference brotha. I could've said he's 'not the quickest' instead of 'not the fastest'.. I meant the same thing, sorry for the confusion.
Young John, being a rogue cashier redistributing wealth, is genuinely fantastic.
I agree. It shows that he has actually cares about what he preaches, and has for a long time.
@@gabbym333 TDS was full of good people. Jon made sure of that.
❤
@@Hobodeluxe960TDS?
Absolutely!
5:51 the story about him doing the encore in Edinburgh is absolutely hysterical 😂😂😂
This might be one of THE best interviews in this shows history. John was great, Sean was peak. The reactions were priceless. And the ending hug to wrap it up.
Lol take your medication....
@@reecemccullough4829 lol right..Typical oblivious fool
John felt like too big, he's a talk show host after all
@@slyceth a talk show host under extreme duress, though. There is nothing in British cuisine to prepare one for something like this. It really was a step for him.
@@slyceth I think John felt like that one dork uncle that thinks buying a new flavor of tea is adventurous.
Philip DeFranco's episode has been my favorite for years, but John Oliver just stole the show. His final answer? *Perfection.* He didn't just land the dismount. He took home the gold. John Oliver is literally one of the people who keeps me holding on in this world and I am so grateful to have him.
Not all us Brits are unfunny
Absolutely, that final note about the state of the world/humanity made me tear up! What a wonderful episode
The least over-the-top American
Truly
When a world-class mind is reduced to gibberish by sauce: "I don't know what I'm talking about now. I love puppets, Sean."
This line was great!
I had to run and hide in the bathroom to snort-laugh at that part. Perfect comedy.
You honestly think John Oliver is a World Class mind?? based on what?? Honestly
John Oliver is one of the stupidest people on TV, ffs.
😂😂😂
This one was absolutely hilarious, John is so naturally funny, he doesn't need an act or a bit he is just a funny person.
“Can I plug other people’s things?” Lol this was one of my favorites! Def very sincere all around
And he likely just completely changed that authors life with one sentence while his mouth was on fire! Wild
@@loscoolarrows5903 To be fair, Disney is already making an adaptation of the book so I'd assume he's been fairly well compensated already.
@@jordanstark5924ahh, wasn’t aware of that. Lets hope he has kickers in that contract for even higher sales numbers!! $$$
I just ordered the book today and have been reading for a couple hours and so far, it's excellent--not at all surprised :)
I've never heard the crew laugh so much behind camera. It was beautiful. John Oliver is just wonderful.
the production is much higher quality now, so that may be a factor, but I also remember the Shia interview getting a LOT of behind the camera laughs
John gave us an amazing quote I paused to write down at 21:57, "Incremental change is possible, and valuable" and I think this will stay with me for the rest of my life because I think more people need to know that and be told that.
We basically live it. It's called "growing up"
Dramatic change is possible and valuable too. It’s also hyper necessary at this point in time where incrementalism has only ever served the powerful and pacified the people.
Counterpoint: revolution
@@Firmus777 Revolution only ever benefits the elites.
Its the only way that good things happen.
The way he had the whole studio laughing at times was really great xD
Seeing John Oliver be reduced to "I love puppets, Shawn." is exactly why I watch this show.
"I love lamp." - Brick
What we can infer from this statement is found in the related Quora submission
What is the meaning of “Worthy is thy lamp”?
A former pastor's response is this.
"The phrase is “worthy is the LAMB.” Worthy means worth, that is the LAMB is of such worth to receive God's blessings. The lamb is the symbolic name for Jesus."
Sean Evans needs to teach several master classes in interviewing. I think he's one of the greatest EVER. John said, "Wow, that's a really good question," TWICE, and was clearly stunned by how many odd jobs Sean knew he'd done. And every interview, Sean serves the same quality!
Sean Evans and Nardwaur could do a Masterclass on interviewing tbh
@@YaBoiBigNutzThey do incredible research on the interviewee. That's really key.
Good point well put, he's consistently good at his research of his guests.
Let's not forget there's a whole team of producers behind this! Well done to the countless hours of research they've done
@@Iyeeedr Apparantly its just Sean and Nardwaur doing the reasearch... he's mentioned it in the past
John took a _second_ bite of that one wing almost everyone hates. What an absolute madlad. Spittin' facts and sheddin' tears - such an enjoyable episode!
"I love, I love, I love... Um puppets Sean"
All the people arguing in this thread, whos minds are you going to change?
I was honestly surprised by how well he did. This somehow was simultaneously both far less unhinged and far less interview-like and more like a regular conversation than any other Hot Ones I've seen before. (I'm one of those people who don't watch every one, though.)
I saw him do that and immediate thought was 'WHY?"
@@spiffhedge He isn't trying to do that lol
I adore John Oliver!! Did I expect to see him here? No. Is it one of the top 3 best episodes ever? Yes. Thank you Sean! ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved this episode! John Oliver was an absolute treasure, and his chemistry with Sean was on point. The grocery store story had me in tears! 😂
more common than you might think. I was a beneficiary of this a few times, in my miss-spent youth..
Can you stop commenting in every single videos.
@@NahianNihan Can you stop commenting about people commenting in the comment section.
Go back to England.
@@Linzeyloo2 Can you stop commenting about people commenting about people commenting in the comment section.
One of the best hot ones ever. That grocery store story is one of the most wholesome things I've ever heard. This man is a treasure.
Seriously!
It really was one of the best. 2 of the greatest interviewers of all time just chatting and interviewing each other sort of... Next time Nardwuar.
13:59 “I just wanna be transparent” god bless whoever edited this😂
He always say that.
You don’t force feed us anything John. We are doing our best to lead by empathy, and you help us understand so that we can strive for equality. Thank you for everything you do.
Telling Sean he's got the stomach version of CTE is the funniest reaction I've ever seen to Da Bomb
This episode felt half as long as any other episode I've watched, and that is a testament to the absolute perfection of John Oliver as a guest. GOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
John's closing sentiments remind me of Gandalf's sentiments to Pippin in Return of the King: "Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
99% sure that was in response to Galadriel asking, "Why the halfing?" in the hobbit movies.
Yes!
Except John Oliver is closer to being the Messenger of Sauron. I am ashamed I use to watch his show at all.
@@Fotumain13 Care to expand on your take?
@@Cynry His show has been caught straight up making things up. He is no better than shows like CNN or Fox news. Propaganda if you will.
The honesty in his nature, the lighthearted self depreciating humor, the wit with its dark shadows- that's a very refreshing and enjoyable change of pace from the standard celeb vibe
@@ScramblethinkJD of course there's are pros and cons on each side of the fence, but in this regard, European culture as a whole generally doesn't take fame as seriously in comparison to the star-studded dreams of every man, woman and child in the States. Also, you just gotta love the extra dry humor
That final question and answer could be the most profound interaction in Hot Ones history, and that's saying a lot. I loved every minute of this episode.
"I love puppets, Sean." rofl I'm dying.
No notes ✨️
Profile pic checks out 👍
You have to admire the humbleness of John Oliver. He truly is a top bloke.
Humility. Yep
As a Brit, I love hearing about the Edinburgh Fringe talked about on such a big platform. It is such a special place, celebrating all forms of art and performer and style. I love going to free or cheap shows, not knowing if it will be good but also not caring, because in there are absolute gems. It was an honour to perform there and I will never forget it
Just steer clear of Rents, Begbie, and their mates in the bog.
@@unique11124they would be about 60 now so avoid domino's games
Hannibal's doc about it was very interacting
"...kiss the cross bar...in...I'm running...GOOOOOOAL!" and "...you got a B-minus movie you wanna sell, earn it..." are my favorite John Oliver quotes in this
These and nearly crying while mentioning the fantastic book he recently read.
Is there any footage of this goal he scored? I'm genuinely curious, sounds like he scored a doozy, even if the goalie "let it in" as he said
@@emiliollvtz Yes, I must see this.
I'm partial to "This is my Vietnam" and "This feels like the kind of stomach version of CTE for football players." -- Incredible episode!
I can't find it either
I don't think I've ever heard the crew laughing in the background so much, this was so wholesome and so funny. What an incredible guest to land. And he plugged someone else's stuff at the end?! Come on now.
I was going to comment similarly, the vietnam joke took someone on the crew out
His answer to the final question really shows what a genuine, caring person he is. Beautifully said.
I just discovered John Oliver recently. Sometimes after work when I feel like crying I will revisit old stories that remind me someone out there cares. John, you are a light in the dark. That free kick was legendary.
Watch anything with John Oliver and Stephen Colbert together for a great laugh.
@@ReesieandLee epic.
@@ReesieandLeelike Stephen saying the virus was from Wuhan and John telling him to shush because he likes his Chinese money?
Same! I'm in London UK and just never really came across his stuff before, the algorithm didn't seem to think I was the right sort of person
Highly HIGHLY recommend watching Jon Stewart if you aren't already. The Problem was great and on youtube and he'll be hosting the Daily Show again on Mondays starting in about 2 weeks. Both Jon and John are my favorite late night hosts.
John Oliver is awesome. I randomly met him while walking in NYC. He was with his young son so I didn't ask for a photo but I work in news so I thanked him a lot for his work and how important it is. He seemed genuinely happy I told him that.
respect for not keeping a man when he was busy spending quality time with his kid 😌
Well that's why! 😁 Respectfully came across and 💥 that's all it takes.
"thank you for being a leftie like me"-John Oliver probably
literally the least oliver thing to say@@Elliesbow
NGL - That last question made me cry and I won't spoil any of it but his answer was pure gold and literally makes me feel better about my whole life.
Absolutely. It literally gave me chills.
Got me too ❤
When I heard the last statement, I immediately transcribed it word for word. I will print it, frame it, and recite it daily and a reminder -- to hope.
His lips are red and swollen at the end. 😂 Love this dude's fortitude!
"The stomach version of CTE" is my favorite quote from this show in recent memory.
there was some good quotes this episode to be sure.
The spice making him sound like he’s on the verge of tears the entire interview is hilarious.
I was searching for this comment😂 I thought he was going to break out in tears so many times.
What I like most about John is that he allows himself to laugh and giggle along with the joke teller. It seems that most comedians just let jokes drip off them and not react, as if they're the only ones who can be funny...or if they're in one of those cliques, then they're suddenly all the funniest in the room. It's almost like he has actual joy.
Edit: Interviewer on interviewer would have to be...............Chris Hansen
I have to think the best comedians are the ones who have joy in comedy.
This has to be one of the BEST interviews, Sean & John
"My instincts say that this is going to go very, very badly." he says as his eyes light up and excitement level visibly rises.
that's fear
John's "Stockholm Syndrome" and "My Vietnam" takes were just what I'd expect from this legend! Man, was this fun to watch - I love these two guys together!
Me, too! I love those brilliant moments.
Policies are more important than politicians and good on John Oliver taking these huge bites. I've seen this show many times before, lots of people don't do that.This interview needs to be one of the most watched, this is one of the best if not the best Hot Ones I've ever seen.
ive gone to one of his live tapings before and he lets and audience ask him questions before the show and he always answers them so genuinely and you can tell he really loves people and a nice guy. foe being famous, very down to earth. He was so sweet and nice to the audience.
Jon’s ability to stare into your soul, and appear genuinely interested in whatever you’re saying, is very endearing.
"come over here and give me a hug." - words you want to hear that bring comfort. sean knows how to tug at the heart strings.
I'd move heaven and earth to get a hug from either Sean or John... I mean, no offense to Sean, but I'd prefer John. 😉
_Feel my pain and love me._
The fact he took his time for promotion to promote someone else’s book was incredible. It confirmed my belief in John Oliver as one of the best humans on this rock.
You can say all you want about how Sean is a good interviewer because he does his research. It’s clear as day that his research is a product of his dedication to really bond with the guest. It’s one thing to do deep research as a gag or a gimic. It’s a completely new class of act when Sean does it from the bottom of his heart. Sure he probably does it for the views at the end of the day, but keep up the genuine acts of kindness, Sean.
John Oliver going in for a second bite of Da Bomb is like peak John😂😂
As always kudos to Sean and the team for another fantastic episode
It was an act caused by Da Bomb's effect on his rational behavior.
@@deanronson6331combined with his joy of self-induced suffering 😂
Does anyone else feel like they need the full unedited version of this? John Oliver is an absolute legend.
Yes!!! I need the 90 minute version of this.
No way John Oliver actually did this, what a legendary pull
@@SimuLord Gordon Ramsay has been on Hot Ones numerous times.
@@SimuLord Josh is leagues behind Sean. Not even in the same realm. He's just riding the coattails of GMM.
@@SimuLord Who's "Josh?" I've never even heard of "Mythical Kitchen."
@@thomasbecker9676Same. Someone in the real world told me about Hot Ones like 6 years ago. And a few years ago there was a buzz where everyone was talking about the show. And now they got flipping Hot Pockets in my small town grocery store. I dont really follow internet tail wagging trends. You can have all the big names on your show you want, but most of us arnt going to care unless the real world is talking about it.
@@thomasbecker9676 Mythical Kitchen is the culinary channel offshoot of Good Mythical Morning, Josh is the guy in charge there, he's great, they're all great, and Last Meals, their interview show, is good.
I’ve watched every single episode of last week tonight several times over as a leftist pizza delivery driver needing something to listen to while driving, and I’ve learned to appreciate John as a comedic, chaotic good entity that inspires me to do good in ways I never would’ve appreciated otherwise. John Oliver inspired me to take part, and I can’t thank him enough for the laughs and inspiration. My hours of underpaid labor were made worth it, because I spent them being inspired by him.
The quiet laughter of the people off camera is better than any laugh track.
Totally agree. Whenever I hear the crew laugh on any show like this (one without a studio audience), I literally feel proud for the guest.
I love hearing the crew laughing. This show could legitimately be shot in front of a live audience and get hearty laughs. I love this show.
The intimacy between Sean and his guests is part of the shows charm. A live audience would take that away.
The behaviour of the guest would change if they are made to feel like they are 'performing' in front of a larger audience and would no longer be as authentic. The 1 to 1 nature with a few laughs is part of the charm!
I'll be honest, it's the first episode of this show I've watched, but the crew's laughs did make the video a lot more enjoyable for me too. The setting is very clean, but could end up feeling a little "empty" or "lonely", or "isolated", and the background laughs brought a welcome feel of "they're not alone in the void".
And, of course, the fact that they're genuine, honest laughs, that are still very much in the background and not explicitly "meant to be heard" (as in, there's no dedicated mic for them or camera switch or w/e), contributes to the overall feeling of sincerity and spontaneity.
So yeah - completely agree with you, the crew's laughs played a surprisingly large part in my enjoyment of the video (on top, of course, of the content of the video itself).
@@vatinas7214 Welcome to the club. Highly recommend sorting the channel by 'most viewed' and catching up on some of the most popular episodes. Been a fan since the first season and it's only gotten better every year. Love this show so much, a few years back I took a detour to Heatonist in Brooklyn while on vacation in NYC. If you love hot sauce, it's paradise.
The soft "woah" Sean lets out anytime a guest takes a second bite of Da Bomb is my fav.
I did not know of this man before i watched this and this was one of the best episodes i have watched. I will now be checking out more of John Oliver's content. And Sean is always an amazing interviewer and host.❤❤😊😊
"The stomach version of CTE" killed me 🤣
This is everything I've ever wanted from an episode, including John Oliver. Watching him progress through the wings, while being able to still talk in that very specific way, is such a delight.
Why am I crying?! He’s such a beautiful soul. Both of them seem to be. I love how John Oliver is able to appreciate the beauty in little things
John Oliver is my RUclips go to guy. I watch every single J.O. video the algorithm sends me and he NEVER disappoints me. He is as my father used to say about Robin Williams "Chronically strange"..... Indeed dad and wonderfully so.
As someone who is super prone to doom spiraling and over thinking, last week tonight helps me actually process horrific stories and situations. The jokes force my brain out of “my god everything is awful and I can’t do anything about it” mode. Thanks for everything John, can’t wait for you guide me through more nightmares of society
It's like having to take some horrible medicine and mixing it with something sweet. Does it make the horrible stuff taste great? No, but it helps you get it down which is the important part.
John mixes horrible news with comedy. The comedy helps us get the horrible news down. Then, once we've internalized the horrible stuff, instead of feeling dejected about how horrible it is, we can laugh at the comedy bits while we work to fix it.
“You blacked out after Queso sin Queso” 😂
his deliveries are the best lol
The way John jumped out of his seat to get his trauma bond hug at the end 😂💜
Anything to distract from the pain I imagine. 😂
I read Say Nothing just because he plugged it at the end of the video instead of promoting his own projects, which is quite a recommendation. It is an great read for anyone with connections to Northern Ireland, Ireland or England, recounting in amazing detail the lives of primary figures within the Troubles in Northern Ireland (1960s-1990s). Read it, then watch Derry Girls 🙂
Britain started the fighting in the 1920's when it had died down and kept it going for decades. They don't want to change that flag and use religion to base it on.
ABSOLUTELY the fastest half hour you've ever done. And not a sip of water. So many gems!
And John Oliver surviving this makes you believe you can too!
I love how some guests just dive so much into it and seem to just go with it 110% like John being cautious from the beginning to suddenly just catching himself wondering "Why do I keep eating this"? 😂 absolutely wonderful episode!
This man helps my workout regimen in so many ways. He breaks down topics that I wish "the (commercial) news" would touch, topics that make me angry enough for things like battle ropes where otherwise I'd just be breaking glasses without his commentary to distill the horrible instincts of humanity into something useful; he does it with such levity that I say "**** it, me feet are destroying my life, but there are worse things in the world, so I'll run today if I can listen to this"; and by Gods does he help with core day. Laughter during planks is such a game-changer that I almost have abs now.
Thanks John.
PS: cashier robin hood is the archetype I strive for.
There aren't many people in news I'd consider "vital" in terms of how we progress in digesting news, but John Oliver is one of them. He's just an important human being, and we are lucky to exist alongside him.
