Walking in the room and flipping someone off after they insulted you while both of you laugh your ass off is the kind of friendship we all need to have.
Not just flipping off, it was the double bird!
This is exactly how I am with my best friend (he's a guy). We're like a brother and a sister in the most genuine hilarious ways.
And I agree. F--- compounding pharmacies!
Refreshing, no?
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ , seriously? Good with just God thanks.
"..part of me thinks it's to kinda still own people..." John is spot on with this comment on the NFL owners.🙌✊️
Richest slaves in history by a long shot they make more in a year than I’ll see in my life
@@nothanks9503 just don't take a knee, or say anything controversial
This right here.
@@davidbryden7904 no problem boss how many million am I making this year?
At my job if I turn my head too far I could get fired I don’t get to use the bathroom or eat on work days I’m not allowed to stop doing my job until it’s done or do anything other than my job while I’m working and I make 30 an hour
That's more NBA mindset...
Oliver is so quick witted it's insane.
You just know that hours later, he is not rethinking to himself, "damnit, I should have said that instead.".
Not sure. He seems to be in the same category of 'Brits who do well in America (but are disliked at home)' that the likes of the wretched James Corden or Pers Morgan fall into, though he's not as repulsive as they are. But then, who is...
It's cool seeing them together but it's also sad. Makes you think of when they were not corporate shills pushing an agenda
@@Rays_Bad_Decisions There's always an agenda..no matter who you are or what you do. We are all cogs in the machine.
@@enzop2835 he used to be a lot more unbiased now he's literally selling vaccines that don't Vaccinate for his corporate overlords and pushing the war in Ukraine
John Oliver spitting some real truth. Giving the trophy to the owners of the franchise instead of the players and coaching staff is a symbol of Americas destructive hyper capitalist society.
Equivalent to giving a corporation's Xmas bonuses to the CEO at a mandatory Xmas party...
That hyper capitalist society brought you this and your comment, and the internet that carried them. No it is the symbol of the hubris and arrogance of billionaires who act like they don't own people in the "traditional" sense.
Spot on!
This doesn't happen in the NBA though... They usually interview the owner for a few seconds during the ceremony but they don't make it about the owner. It's more of a football thing than an American thing
@Steel Ringer Green Bay Packers Inc would beg to differ.
John’s description of Philadelphia as “you’re just working back from arson on a massive scale”
is accurate
Reference Philly Osage Ave row house fires 1986
Oh that brought back great memories of the week obama and the phillies won 🥰😂
Nahhhhh….it was raining.
Just dress everybody up like disco clowns and send them through the parade route. Those outfits take too much time, effort, and money for anyone to set them on fire.
He's not wrong. Whether they win or lose Philly fans will still climb those greased up poles and set things on fire.
That thing about the owner: I wholeheartedly agree with Oliver. It is absolutely grotesque indeed!
what could be more American than rewarding billionaires who like to own people?
but imagine if we did that in England, all those murderous sheiks and corrupt oligarchs carrying silverware around in triumph.
@@fjsioewiox Historically provably true...
My kids went to Catholic day school with kids whose parents own a big football team and the dad wore his giant ring to PTA meetings . . .
@@fjsioewiox Who do they own? These players get millions and can leave at anytime.
I love how they blurred out his middle finger, yet he still managed to sneak one in.
I came to the comments looking for this
I don't think he did. The first time coming in after the hug was his index finger.
I think Colbert told Oliver you can't do that on their channel while they were hugging, so he did it again using his index finger.
@@sirtainlee8725 correct
Only John Oliver can get away with doing the double middle fingers as an entrance.
John giving the finger as he walks in for that Top 6 comment was great.
i need to know who the other johns were
@@teimon91 Cleese, Lennon, Kennedy, Candy, and Belushi.
Not just the finger, both of the middle fingers!
@@insane_troll stewart, Lennon, Kennedy, Cleese, Batista
@@teimon91 John vs Jon
John Oliver’s full body clapping laugh is amazing and contagious lol
what could be more American than rewarding billionaires who like to own people?
Amen, brother.
Giving those billionaires tax breaks to defray the cost of owning people?
The only thing that could be as American as that is selling assault rifles to as many idiots as possible so that we have as many shootings as possible, only so the gun lobby can continue to be profitable.
Anyone notice a pattern? Money dictates everything here. Morals and human rights come second to increasing profit margins in America, and you can take THAT to the bank. Sickening, systemic, dominant greed has been the intrinsic part of our identity as a nation since we began. It is our defining trait, more than any other nation on Earth.
@@Synathidy That's a very articulated way to put it, and a brave one, coming from someone from the US.
Cheap and frozen apple pie with expensive insulin. School shootings, and the exploitation of vulnerable people?
John Oliver and Stephen Colbert Together is Always Great.
"Baptiste left you, I'm here."
You gotta Love the John you're with. ❤❤❤
He announces 'John Oliver' and immediately there's a huge smile on my face! 😋
He's my favorite John. Of any spelling.
@Lynn Many Fires
I do, too! Even if I'm not in the best of moods, Stephen starts to make my smile, but when he says John Oliver.... well my mood changes completely in the best way! His laugh is so contagious! Love him! 🥰
@@PADS62 - I so agree, Pad's! The minute I hear his name on Stephen's show, I know I'm in for some fun!
@Lynn Many Fires
We were separated at birth Lynn! Baahaaahahaha 🤣😂😊
Yeah, no, "still being able to own people" is a major part of being a team owner, agreed.
specially college levels.
If you own a business you do not own your employees. Sorry, but being the boss of a bunch of multi millionaires is absolutely not the same thing as owning a human being.
@@Dead1yCool OP didn't say it was the same but it certainly has that energy, definitely a familiar vibe
aye
@@Dead1yCoolthat’s not entirely true or false for example as a dealer I made the casino about 78,000$ a night they paid me 40-50$ a night the rest comes from tips that’s pretty damn close to them owning me they own the massive profits I produce and give me a pittance
as a european i totally agree with John, the trophy should go to the team first, giving it to the owner is soooo american!
Don't think they do that with baseball, or basketball, definitely not hockey..
So it's a weird NFL quirk. No wonder they want to hush concussions, so the player are too dizzy to realize what they are doing.
@@jawstrock2215
I know that in the NBA each player gets a championship ring but I'm not really sure what happens to the championship trophy.
I think the New Experimental Grass Or Refs deserved to hold trophy first.
Rihanna should have held the Mic near her face while her Mix-Tape played on the speakers. Her Baby Bump isn’t Impressive nor Entertaining.
@@axlFoleyBeverlyHillsPo oh i know what made you dislike Rihanna.
@@abhikrajan8904 she didnt hold the microphone or move mouth with the song that was playing….didnt you notice the song kept going when her mouth wasnt moving?
Omg did Louis Cato and the band just sing 'Ferry Cross the Mersey'???!!! As an intro to John Oliver? WOW. Beautiful. Amazing choice.
I think this has to be my favorite interview between John & Stephen. You can tell they are besties at different levels--comedic, intellectual, and personal to name a few.
John Oliver is my #1 FAVORITE guest of Steven Colbert. Whoohoo! 🎉
Or at least in the top six...
Easily one of his top six guests named 'John'.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou with an h in their name
What about john Stuart?
Nick Offerman is #2!
When Stephen "swept away" John's Football I almost spit out my coffee haha
The NHL is the only major league in North America that does the trophy presentation properly. The players get the moment because they're the ones who literally spilled blood for it.
Not only that, but the players get the Stanley Cup for one day.
It’s the Canadian influence!
Steve & John make the best Flippin team!
You never know what rabbit hole they're going to go down! 😅😂
Except it's ALL Oliver. He carries the entire bit comedically, from the 1st second to the last
I recommend you to watch Oliver on Seth Meyer's Late Night
@@KackieJennedy
I appreciate your advice, but I believe they feed off of each other. MHO
As for Seth Meyers, I got tired of him just doing the same ol shit every or every other show. So, no thanks. I'd rather watch John on 'Last Week Tonight', thanks all the same. 🙂
Seeing those owners with their Stepford wives was in fact grotesque.
My sister commented on a beautiful woman at the game and asked who she was. I told her it was someone screwing one of the old men there
Stepford wife is the perfect way to put it. I always thought they looked too perfect for a friggin football game and now I know why. :)
I don't know they are, they're was a girl in a shiny silver dress with her hands on a his shoulder, I first thought it must be his daughter, then I wasn't so sure. Though not like the players wives are any different, still a bunch of dumb wags, just younger men, with not QUITE as big a bank account, but still plenty
I'm happy to say as a US citizen that I've never watched a "superbowl" game. Ever. And I doubt I ever will. A few days beforehand, someone asked who I was rooting for, and I had to ask who was playing.
@@nancyaustin9516 I'm right with you; I still don't know or care who played in this one.
LOVE The Late Show Band with their version of Ferry Cross The Mersey for John Oliver's intro. Just gorgeous
Especially when John isn't even from Liverpool. That was, my American friend, a completely different John.
John still sounds midlands. Not Mersyside at all.
How are the riots on the Liverpool side, my Mum was from Bromborough, and I loved the area, awful to see the Echo lately though, nothing but sad news ...
@@minimoog4236 His mother was from Liverpool, and he is a HUGE Liverpool FC fan.
John is one of the funniest guys on TV and he's spot on about the Souper Bowel!
as an Australian I can't wrap my head around why an owner gets a trophy after the game. the guys been in a box eating and drinking and then gets a trophy
You’re so dense
@@srsieg1155 oh
I love how these are two comedians at the top of their game bringing out the most superlative aspects of each other. Like, John Oliver saying NFL owners literally want to own people. And Stephen Colbert going full nerdcore on UFOs. Love them both!
Ha! “Comedians” 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Suspended is not a comedian
Ferry Across the Mercy, indeed! Nice tip to Oliver's home patch.
Yeah like if they play New York, New York if Tommy Lee Jones walks out.
I love these two together, it always seems like they're just short of chasing each other down the hallway and out onto a playground.
Living for the accurate description of Philly 😂 #gobirds
Absolutely love any time John Oliver is on the show. He is my favorite guest for Colbert specifically. And, as usual, here he makes the best point it's currently possible to make.
I love the way John Oliver always cuts to the chase!!
What joy, on a week when I've missed Colbert, and months since I've seen Oliver...I find them together!!! 🏴🇦🇷🇺🇲
Only creeps love this, creep.
@@fjccommish And only fools can so foolishly speak.
Patagonian?
@@Tomwithnonumbers La familia de mi madre son de Argentina!!!
John was right! The owners should stay in their private boxes.
Omfg I didn’t think their interviews could get any better 🤣
He is my FAVORITE John!
It’s so sweet that you can see how much they admire each other through their poking and prodding.
Oliver on Colbert is peak comedy. It's a classic in the making, like Jonathan Winters on Carson, or Bill Murray on Letterman, or Norm Macdonald on Conan. It's amazing. Love these guys!
I have missed John Oliver immensely.
John and Stephen are such a Dream Team.
John Oliver sneaking the finger throughout this 🤣😂 - He’s AMERICAN now!
This was my first time ever watching the Superbowl. I'm from Europe and the trophy ceremony also weirded me out. Giving it to the owner of the team is so damn odd lol
You have incredible athletes who worked hard for it. A coach who worked hard for it. And you give it to an owner who was just having his employees run the team for him.
It's also wild to me how many commercials there are and how much the game stops, but thats another story lol
I hope you enjoyed it it was a pretty good game.
The game does tend to start and stop a lot and that’s because the game is mainly meant to be for American audiences where commercials play a huge part in American culture for some reason, trust me we don’t like it either.
The reason for giving the trophy to the owner (at the time) is because owners in the nfl play more of a part than in other sports because it’s mainly them building the team. After the ceremony it’s the actual players (mainly the mvp) that gets it. It’s a great sport once you start to get the feel of it and I hope it didn’t discourage it too much being your first experience.
@@brazyiee9145 I would disagree that the NFL owners play more of a part in building the team. I don't think they necessarily have a bigger role in the team than owners of Champions League winners in soccer, or Stanley Cup champions in hockey. They might be higher profile within their sport (and that's debatable), but that's it.
The whole thing just really sucks the air out of the occasion. It should have been Patrick Mahomes lifting the trophy with his teammates surrounding him rather than an old man in a suit in a really muted emotionless hand-off.
Also really strange that there is barely any players on the podium at all, I know they are big squads but work something out
@@DanielSmith-kq8wg Exactly, sport is emotion and they hand the most important trophy of that sport off to a guy in a suit with 0 emotion. The players broke bones, got bruised, tore their muscles, risked brain damage, came from a long journey to make it in the top etc. and they hand it off to a rich guy that hired people to advice him on how to run an organisation like that/hired people to run it for him lol
@@danielmiller7346 plays are short and the clock keeps running. But man they are sprinting hitting juking blocking physical contact constantly. See how gassed a defense looks after a long possession? And that's WITH rotating players in. These guys are freakishly in shape, too. I've thought about different ways to go about that so that the ball is actually in play for longer, something about stopping the clock after every down? I don't know. The game is already 3hrs long is. Can't really do shorter play clocks either, with having to communicate the play, substitute players, get set, and then the refs too set the ball and the clock doesn't stop for that either. So, idk.
John Oliver is the best thing on TV and gives us the truth. Love this guy.
I've seen more of John Oliver on late nights than I have on his own show. Got to love clips on RUclips.
John always makes me so happy! He's hysterical and gets so worked up in just the right way!
Love the double bird on the walk out
He should have just used his fists. The FCC would not have blanked it out, and Stephen would have understood the meaning anyway
John comes out and immediately gives Steven the finger. Love him
love the chemistry they always have lol
I too, felt the same as the trophy was passed to the owner while Andy Reid stood by and the players looked on. I agree that they belong up in their executive boxes celebrating with other owners, just like the old days.
Parading around Pat Tillman's death to provide free recruiting for our armed forces and to justify their actions was the most grotesque part of the event
I love that one Oliver commentary where he hollers and rambles without taking a breath.
most late night tv has gotten really exhausting but man john oliver just keeps me coming back for more, not just last week tonight but moreso the dynamic between stephen and john is so good even with how many times it's been done before
John Oliver, the quickest, funniest man on TV
John missed a great chance to tell Steven he's one of his top six Jimmy's😂😂
That would have been a good one!
It's like the Producers winning the Oscar for best film
John Oliver continues to be my spirit animal (human) in every way 😂
i have reached a point where i would believe and embrace anything John Oliver says just because HE said it !! i only hope he realizes how serious this kind of power is and only uses it for Good .
Amazing 2 humans conveying truth with depth and candor about some otherwise grotesque situations. Love them together!!! Witty, wonderful, wise and winners. What a way with words. They speak my language. Hear it clearly. WOW!!!!!
John Oliver is always a solid guest.
I've watched so many superbowls and never picked up on that. I thinks it's because I'm normally asleep at that point as the superbowl finishes at about 4am in my time zone
Yaayyy 😃 I love love love it when john comes over 😊😊
There is nothing more fun than watching these two together.
My favorite guest. John is the best!
John Oliver is spot on, as always
I agree, the owners really don’t do much, it should be the players first
Love John Oliver
Oh I love this guy and vote him as your best guest ever!!!!!!
John oliver is a genius
Ya know I said this same thing, but I was hammered so it was more along the lines of:
"why tf are they handing it to that fkin chode?? Who tf is that?"
My friend thinks that it makes perfect sense that they handed it to him, so I had to have a conveersation about how he Cvcks for the 1% and he will absolutely be one of them someday.
His wife said I can't come over anymore.
😂 I guess that's what happens when you get hammered. You get banned from places.
Hahaha. And no disrespect to the coaches, but the trophies should be handed to the QB first.
Hahaha! It's probably for the best. You need a better class of friends. You'll find them. They're out there.
Bahaha this cracked me up. You had a point!
John Oliver is my favorite John. He ranks above me.
god I love John Oliver_ such a skill to make people laugh in the face of the darkest sh*t
I like John Oliver's show. He gives a unique insight into everything that's covered. Excluding AT&T cell phone reception. They have no coverage! Gotcha, big business daddy!
YES John!!!! Everytime they give that trophy to the owner it's such a WTF moment.
It’s not what you say it’s how you say it. I’m so tired of the narrative of the “crazy” Philly fan and usually I hate when it’s brought up but JO is so dang witty & personable he made it funny 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree 100%. When the toronto raptors won the 2019 championship, Larry Tannenbaum (raptors ceo) was the first guy to lift thr trophy. It was absolutely repulsive
Love John Oliver!
So many great people got their start on the Daily Show. John Stewart is a rainmaker.
I like this Jon Olive guy, he is very funny, they should give him his own show
I approve of Jon coming on to ferry cross the mersey 😜🥰
The conversation at the start of this interview is easily one of my favourite bits on the Late Show.
He kills me 🤷 love Oliver 😂
I LOVE these 3part episodes with absolutely no labels. Still a class act for views.
my dad loves watching the super bowl from here in the uk but he complains about the end celebrations every year. he can never understand why there isn’t a moment where the players are together to lift the trophy like we do at the end of football championships. it always comes across really bad like the players are just pawns
It comes across like that, because a part of American cultural pride is in not being ashamed of its shameless pride.
John Oliver is definitely my favorite John!!!
4:30, My God, this banter between them about the hand gesture is amazingly funny!

BRING BACK LAST WEEK TONITE!!!
make it a daily segment "Yesterday, Today"
If you compare American football owners to for example Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who bought the Welsh football team Wrexham AFC. Worlds apart.
The club belonged to the fans and they had to ask them, if they could invest. Later Ryan Reynolds send crates of gin to their bar beside the stadium and the members could get a bottle as gift.
They are both interested in the area, made a documentary about it, talk to people and bring attention to the city. Many celebrities visit, for example Will Ferrell visited last week. Their investment and interest helped the whole area. Rob even started to learn Welsh.
Never filter Oliver.
*Ferry across the Mersey* - opening number - that brings back memories.of UK
John's disgusted eye roll and almost throwing up on the spot re: the billionaire owners. As always, he's right!
lmao john gets on here and gets a little TOO rule for cable 😂 my man thought he was on HBO
1:30 John Oliver: I am on cable I can do that
:)
Ooooh the band played _Ferry Cross the Mersey,_ famously covered by *Frankie Goes To Hollywood* back in the day.
As an Australian .. the Superbowl was just too saccharin patriotic
It is. It is strictly American sport and it's always been perceived as a patriotic sport.
@@earlofsmegwell i get that, the whole "world champions thing" was a give away .. I guess I live in a country where you don't put our flag on your front yard and in general we are Mah about nationalism
@@aidanmargarson8910 we are a very proud nation and football, and especially Super Bowl, plays a big part in it. We are a weird nation and I think we like it that way. It's hard to explain.

Fun fact: the UK team, Manchester United, who at the time had pretty much 0 debt and were ticking along nicely was once "bought" by couple of (imo, disclamer, disclamer) con artists who did not have the money and used **A LOAN THEY TOOK OUT AGAINST THE TEAM THEY HAD JUST 'BOUGHT' ** to pay for the team.
So you DEFinitely don't need to be rich to buy a team.
And, yes the team was then lumbered with the cost of paying off this new massive debt.
Yep, and I will not shed a tear when the Glazers will finally sell the club in a matter of weeks. F*** the Glazers! #GlazersOut #LoveUnitedHateGlazers
But why? That should be the con men's debt. How does it get transferred to the team itself?
Normally, an owner would be forced to sell the team and that money used to pay off the debt. Transferring it to the team sounds like the bigger scam.
@@sirtainlee8725 The loan was taken out against the team.
Yes it's ridiculous.
@@sirtainlee8725 most likely to make it "legal" the situation was probable:
person gets loan from bank to buy (at least a majority) team
they now have control of votes for ceo/coo/president (whatever actual title the team/club uses)
they vote themselves to be hired, either with a large signing bonus or granting themselves that bonus at xmas/tax time/etc.
then use that bonus to pay off the loan, while forcing the club to then take out another loan to cover operating costs for the coming years
@@brendanmcculloch2406 No, I know it sounds crazy but they really did take out a loan on the club to then have money......to pay for the club they had 'bought'.
Kind of still own people. Nice job John. You are my #1 John. Whether the h is important is a secret.
Usually don’t like interviews but Stephen and John Oliver? Yessss.
I love how he came out with an obscene gesture. Hilarious 😄
That's why Stanley's Cup is so coveted by the players themselves.. It's all about the players!
Felt exactly the same way 4 times a year for the past 15 years !
Lol is John a guest like once a month now? I'm here for it.
