Late Night with Seth Meyers

John Oliver, being booed at a Sesame Street event, is so on brand because he could not stay silent in front of some corporate nonsense, and I love that for him
I had a bit of a flashback to Gervais hosting the Golden Globes and roasting Tim Cook (amongst others). We need more people calling out hypocrisy straight to those corporate faces.
Totally! Society NEEDS people like John and Ricky to show some cojones and stand up to hypocrisy. @@benwu7980
Gotta respect the man for having the monumental backbone to pull that stunt. Well done, sir.
At least he didn't assault Elmo.
You talking about John Oliver and "coorperate nonsense" in the sane sentence is so insanely dumb
I just want to know what person at the Sesame Street company looked at the bank that they were honouring with a fake award and went "You know who should be within 100 miles of this building when we do this? John Oliver" because either that person is blissfully innocent and must be protected at all costs or is an agent of chaos and needs to be feared and respected because they can create problems wherever they go!
I had the same thought when he did the Amazon Echo thing on Fallon's show.
Maybe it was Ernie?
😂😂😂
It's the Muppets. It's both.
You're not wrong.
This is why I love John Oliver. He _knew_ it was going to be bad, but he still called BoA for their bullshit marketing. A little bit of charity doesn't undo all of the ghoulishness they've wallowed in, and they SHOULD be called on it at every opportunity.
Exactly. Sesame Street shouldn't want money that BoA made off of the backs of hard working families. The words Bank and Kindness don't go together in the same sentence.
Frankly, and I'm gonna do some victim blaming here: they were effing asking for it.
That BoA exec lying in bed with her husband later that night:
“Are we the _baddies?”_
John should be a Sesame Street character. He could be Burt’s sarcastic British cousin who breaks down the bleak reality of existence to the kids in short, whimsical tales.
😂😂😂😂😂
And now this.
Ernie "Here fishy fishy fishy."
John Oliver "Ernie I know this a bit, but people die every year from fish jumping into boats and knocking people like yourself out of the boat who aren't wearing life preservers. If you can't float when you fall off that boat, then you're gonna die like a Mike Pence presidential campaign."
Bert*
I love this idea!!
She had it coming, it was like waving a red flag for anybody with the slightest critical thinking.
If you bring your bullshit buzzwords, especially around a comedian …
Either she actually honestly believed it, which requires a huge level of ignorance, or she wanted John to get in trouble. :)
Critical thinking involves the process of listening to someone else, understanding what they say or do and then providing critical thought as to why that person behaves as they do...whether you agree with them or not.
You cannot wave the notion of critical thinking around whilst being so close minded and not employing it yourself.
@@randyschwaggins I'm curious to know what you think "critical thought" is actually for.
I would argue, that if it isn't used to inform ones actions (i.e. vocalizing your formed critique) it is not useful at all.
Seems to me like you are advocating for docility and refrain from actual critique whilst critiquing op yourself and accusing them of being close-minded without any evidence to support that claim.
Have I missed something here?
Egging him on. Daring him to do it.
Incredible story. I loved the bit about Bert turning to glare at John even more when I realized that meant the puppeteer made the choice to make him do that lmao
I know right! That bit got me laughing out loud.
😂😂 wooo...goodness thar was funny
The Muppeteers are, no joke, some of the funniest, fast-thinking, witty human beings on the planet. The videos with Cookie Monster and John are proof to me, the outtakes especially. The two humans operating that puppet, and the one voicing him especially, just came up with all the nonsense on the fly, and it's hilarious.
John Oliver simply cannot resist the compulsion to roast a company for its shameful truths even at a Sesame Street event about kindness. 😂
Who could with such hypocrisy
It's the gall of the corporate exec, for saying something like that, thinking no one would call her out on it. Good for John.
To be fair, sounds like she was practically daring someone to call her on her bullshit. John was simply doing the honorable thing. 😂
Or a spot on a late night talk show!
It wouldn't have been kind to ignore such blatant, self-serving hypocrisy!
"Why are you like this?" thought Bert. Also John's parents, his whole life.
Bert later texted his parents just a single emoji of disappointment.
Jon Stewart, John Oliver and Seth are my favourites for their integrity, sense of humour and love for all humanity ❤
Love John Oliver. He's so much the anti-Piers Morgan and that's the highest praise I can laud upon a British person. I'm sure John would agree.
Actually being the anti-piers morgan is the most basic praise you can laud upon a british person. Its the lowest bar imaginable.
@@nergiegruntfuttock8463ig it’s like saying that Satan is the anti-Christ or vice versa. It’s saying that Oliver is as great as Piers is evil. He is the angle to defeat the devil
I'm sure news that John Oliver is the epitome of the English people in your eyes will be received with typical English stoicism ...
He's no Andy Zaltzman, but he'll do. #BuglersKnow
As a Brit from Scotland, that's like saying any average, decent American is the anti-Donald Trump. It's such a subterraneanly low bar it's actually more of an insult than a compliment.
I'm in literal tears. 😂 The way he described Bert looking at him. OMG. I love John Oliver.
LMAO ... they were kinda baiting him into doing that, though. I refuse to believe an _executive_ at BofA doesn't know full well their business is not, in fact, built on kindness
Evil people like to delude themselves.
They know lol. They're just 100% used to nobody calling them out for it publicly like that. They are literally the modern day Noble class, the aristocracy. They surround themselves with yes men and boot lickers, the last thing they expect is for a peasant jester like John to actually have the audacity to call them out on their bullshit during a carefully choreographed PR stunt.
I can't wait for the human species to figure out that this multi class system is fucking worthless and we stop fighting over who gets to lick the magical billionaire buttholes in the childishly pathetic hope that maybe it'll turn us into a billionaire.
HEH. BofA. Bank of America _deez nuts_ !
John Oliver is one of a kind! Calling out Someone's bullcrap to their face, off the cuff, on stage, when you're supposed to be smchoozing?! Incredible! I don't even think Seth would do that, he'd behave for the fundraisers benefit :)
BullCRAP? No no no you must say the proper word. SAY IT
I love how Seth always introduces John as "our good friend". ❤
Also John - what are you doing there, should I check the news if another royal has died?
John said, on the show, that he'll check if Seth keeps introducing him like that and so do I 😂
I would have stood up and cheered for John Oliver if I would’ve been at the Sesame Street charity event.
Me too.
@@amberandrews6842 Normal, good people don't get invited to those things, just evil rich scumbags looking for tax dodges.
That's why they didn't invite us
For 15 years, Jon Stewart kept me sane and laughing. John Oliver brought it to another level. His show sincerely keeps me from losing the little bit of faith I have left in human kind. I never thought the world had so much horrible and stupid people. Now I know, but John and his team are surely some the best people in the world. We're very lucky we have him.
I love John specifically because he just cannot resist calling shitty companies out when they pretend they aren't shitty...
I so love John Oliver for his quite dry humor. Makes my Sundays! ❤
Quite dry humour? It’s just being British!
I APPLAUD John Oliver's quip at BOA!! This clip was mis-titled. It should have been Oliver's superb comeback to BOA's ludicrous pronouncement.
I can't believe John Oliver was publicly shamed by his hero, Bert.
Can John Oliver be a mandatory guest at least once every other week? It can be Friday's, no audience needed... we don't care.
seth doesn't film on fridays and john has a life and a job...so...
I’m a simple soul: I see John Oliver and I click 😅
Same
I wish folks in Australia could watch Last Week Tonight clips as easily as we do Late Night clips
Me too.
Same here. And if it's these two together, I click more.
+1😊
I will never get tired of John laughing with his entire body.
Ah John, I applaud your solid devotion to the truth, sorry Bert. BoA is bad money. They got my house, farm, and business. You, my darlings, Seth, John, and redpective crews, give me laughs and hope.
John Oliver’s parents are the most British people ever.
i would pay a lot of money to a charity to see John Oliver spit facts at Bank Executive to their faces.
It was kindness to the common public to point out the truth. Many corporations behave exactly like sociopaths and are allowed to do so.
Having watched John's Sunday show before this, that last quip really was perfect! 🏆
As a person who has the same character flaw as John, I can relate so much to this xD Thankfully I've never been invited to anything remotely as significant as the Sesame Street Gala.
“Just have McKensey be a sponsor; you’ll be fine.”
Lmao for context John Oliver’s prior show was dedicated to excoriating McKensey. Gd I love John Oliver 😂🤣😂
😂 At the "see a real show with real guests"--that's when I would have made a point of getting them on camera.
Same, if my mom taught me anything it's spite
This is why we love John Oliver!
The "Just let McKinsey be a sponsor!" hit SO. MUCH. MORE. HARD after having just watched the most recent LWT.
I love these two, never anything less than amazing when together. 🥰
That final McKinsey remark killed me. 😊
Well, that can only prove they’re real family ‘cause familiarity does breed contempt.😂
😂my mom used to say that.
Well well, look who is dressing down, after teasing Seth about it 😀 Love these two together, I really hope their NYE stand up gets recorded and put on Netflix! 🐾
I wonder if the outfit isn't a calculated jab.
Why else would he be dressed like that?
John told Colbert he wouldn't dress up for Seth any more as Seth "doesn't respect his guests enough" to wear a suit. 😀
The whole point of that jab was that he wasn't going to wear a suit to see Seth.
@@mrbismarck At the risk of sounding unkind, he is dressed like if mr. Rodgers was a GULAG convict.
You're right! I'd forgotten 😀
John Oliver with Cookie Monster, and the outtakes, are my favorite things ever. EVER.
John explaining how his parents were about his show is almost the most british thing I have heard.
I would do almost anything to see that clip from the gala, going to continue research
i like that Seth knows when to keep quiet and let the guest run with it
Exactly! Once John started talking about his Sesame Street benefit story, all I could think of was noticing Seth pulling back and just letting John run with his story. It's why Seth is the best in the biz
Gimme more Strike Force Five! I loved listening to these two sitting in the back of the class throwing spitballs at Jimmy Fallon.
The outtakes of John Oliver with Cookie Monster is one of the best things I've ever seen.
John is authentic and we love him for it
The thought of Bert scowling at Jon sent me laughing so hard I had to cover my mouth with both hands😂.
Bro got grilled by a Muppet! 🤣
He honestly is the perfect character for that situation. If it was Elmo or Cookie Monster it wouldn't be nearly as apropos.
These two together make me so happy.
'Just have McKinsey be a sponsor.' That man is a world treasure!
That had me spitting out my water! Brilliant!!
lying about how awful a company is is not kindness so honestly they should have you back lol
I love the synergy of their outfits!
I am the chair of a small city’s Friends of the Library. John Oliver is welcome to appear anytime for anything. 🎉
John -- DO NOT CHANGE EVER!! ❤ U
CORRECTION: "The Huffington Post" cannot write an article about John Oliver being eviscerated by his parents. Their name changed to HuffPost in 2017.
I have been watching his stuff on YT nonstop lately. It is so good.
And that's why I love John Oliver. Just can't bite my tongue!
John is honestly my favorite. I adore him.
John Oliver is one of the smartest and funniest voices on tv today. And or stand-up stages.
He’s one more of those people, with shows of their own, that Jon Stewart found and gave a chance to find themselves, kinda sorta, on the Daily Show, and proves Jon Stewart’s genius!!
McKinsey as a sponsor sounds tight! 🤣🤣🤣😍
They would probably suggest the puppeteers be replaced with animatronics and the writers with AI.
@@Styphon ...and give the saved money as a bonus to the senior management.
Imagine disappointing Bert Sesame Street. Imagine.
I don't think you can recover from that.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... WE REQUIRE a Seth Meyers and John Oliver Day Drinking episode (actually, I would much prefer a series, like Seth & John Day Drinking Task Master) :)
WHAT A TREAT!!! JOHN DO MORE LATE NIGHT SHOW INTERVIEWS. YOU'RE GOOD AT IT.
McKinsey piece was classic brutal Oliver.
🤟🧙♂️🤟
She invoked the command herself! By telling the same lie in triplicate she summoned Oliver to bring balance.
I could watch these two all day long! ❤
Bert has made it clear that if John comes back, he walks. Doing the pigeon, but walks nonetheless.
He got booed at kindness, he's the greatest!
That’s like putting a steak in front of a dog-at a certain point it’s just not his fault 😂
Thanks for keeping your guests seated across from you and not down low.
That's like ppl telling a homeless person on the street, "at least you don't have mortgage payments." Good intentions? Perhaps. Wrong time, wrong place to say that? Definitely.
That actually happened. Ivanka Trump related in an interview how she and her dad once walked by a homeless person and her dad said, you know, that guy is so much better off than me, because he owes nothing (this is when Donald Trump had racked up debts from the failure of some of his business ventures)
"Booo"
"what you think I'm the one making the foreclosure decisions" 🕳️
Not Jeff here. The buried irony of that statement was that Bank of America was founded as Bank of Italy in San Francisco by a kind man, A P Giannini. The bank catered to Giannini's people, Italian and other immigrants who were shunned by the establishment. After the 1906 earthquake, Giannini set up a plank on the street and gave handshake loans for rebuilding and handing out withdrawals. Later, he said that every loan had been paid back in full.
He helped start a lot of iconic California companies, such as Disney and Kaiser. He bankrolled a good part of the Golden Gate Bridge. He gave a business loan to Hewlett and Packard.
A P's late daughter, Claire, hated what Bank of America has become. She complained that the current rulers are totally against the spirit of her father. She resigned from the board in disgust in 1985.
oliver does his own "ya burnt"
Right now I want nothing in this world more than a leaked clip of that gala
Shame on Sesame street for not standing up and cheering the truth. They need to apologize to John and do a whole show about not ignoring the truth for the almighty dollar.
I suspect Sesame Street characters weren't doing the booing. The audience in these places is usually all rich people.
I suspect that there were a lot of bank staff and friends of the person receiving the fake award in the audience.
I don't blame Sesame Street for dancing for money. I blame a society where Sesame Street HAS to beg for money.
Sure, becuase you always want to point out someone's shortcomings when they are doing something nice for you.
I was just noticing how stressed John Oliver was when Seth looked at him and said, "...you STRESSED us .."
The idea of appearing erratic in comparison with Ernie is just hilarious... this thrusts me 50 years back into my childhood.
Love the fact that Seth never went back to wearing a suit after COVID.
Same thing NBA coaches did. Glad they stayed casual
I don't know the full context, but Bank of America being "built on kindness" could be referring to the founder of its founder, Amadeo Giannini, who started one of the first banks catering to immigrants. He freely gave out loans after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, allowing the city to rebuild.
I’m surprised he talked about it like he was almost embarrassed, that’s man of the year material for me 😂
The McKinsey quip at the end lol if u watch john oliver on last week tonight you know 😁😉😏
Maybe the audience wasn't booing John oliver, but foreclosing on shlubs.
I wonder if a lot bank executives and other staff were there
If so they should have booed (much louder) when the banker said their company was based on kindness. More BS from a company based on BS and greed.
Absolutely love John Oliver…… Good to see Seth trying to have him on.
"Just have McKinsey as a partner." 💀
Boom!
Always love to see more Jon
It's so rare that I'll watch one of these on RUclips, alone, and actually laugh.
Hi Seth did you really sign the no hostages left behind letter? As the letter is factually incorrect.
lmaaaao that last story 😂
OMG, this is the funniest story I think I've heard him share (about himself). 😂 I can't believe that, lol. "Kindness", and a BANK is being heralded for it. 🤪 Wow. Keep yer puppet pretenses in check, Bert hahahah wtf lol!
John Oliver, I appreciate you. Never change.
No matter what I accomplish as a RUclipsr, no matter how big my audience grows or how many views I get, my mom will never get it, I feel you, John, I feel you
In John’s defense… the exec really shouldn’t have tripled down on that BS… that was waving a red cape in front of a bull… detector
I feel extra respect now for John Oliver!
The theme was kindness, brought to you by the letter B
"why are you like this?" see previous anecdote about John's parents....
"Just have McKinsey be a sponsor." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can never go wrong with John Oliver as a guest.
No, not McKinsey!😂😂
Oh John Oliver, we love you. ❤
Never tire of watching this clip.
The best and classiest guests on any late night show always acknowledge the house band, and John didn't disappoint.
To be fair, that's just Bert's general expression.
