john oliver talking about the viola and his skill is called the confidence curve. when you are ignorant, you have almost no confidence, but when you get a little skill or training, you have a massive spike. as you grow, you become more aware of the gulf between you and real talent. but if you get over that, you begin to regain your confidence along with your growing skill.

@@lyreparadox Indeed, the obnoxious E string is what drove me to the viola. Not only did the sound bother my cats, but it cut into my tender little fingers. And middle C is where it should be, in tenor clef, not on the bottom like treble clef, or the bottom like in bass, but in the middle.
It is funny because they play off each other so well, but when you see Oliver interviewed by Seth Meyers, it's quite different. They actually talk like friends. Not sure how well they all know each other, but it is sort of strange, this idea of public versus private friendship.
It would be fun to see an show of a round table of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Sam Bee and Trevor Noah all just shoot the breeze. Jon Stewart has played a hand in several successful shows over the years.

The viola is always the most needed instrument (in any kind of string ensemble), because there are just so few who play it. Viola players are a very special kind of musicians.
I love how he asked if John Oliver can sing He literally made a song called eat shit bob from his slapp suit episode talking about bob Murray and how slapp suits are dangerous to people who want to change things and I got to say I wouldn’t mind listening to John sing for an hour
It's easy for a composer to use a viola. Just give us the same note over and over. /s (Actually I haven't played in decades...I just remember a lot of very boring middle school music)
@@Skittl1321 Once you get into real repertoire (or get an orchestra teacher who knows how to pick a wide variety of arrangements), violas finally get their moments. 😊
If there's one thing I've realized, it's that there are tons of viola fans in the TwoSet base, and they just sit there with a blank smile while crying inside at all the viola jokes. Those poor dears.
another way to say “if you didn’t like it, there is not a big enough change to make you like it” is “if you like it before, we didn’t change it too much and you will like the new season”
John Oliver talking about how he secretly always knew he was bad at the viola no matter how good he got, is how every musician feels, regardless of their instrument.
They clearly dig and respect each other as artists/hosts/human beings that it’s really nice to see in an interview. You can tell when the host and the guest are on the same wavelength.

Honestly same. But that didn't mean I didn't laugh 🤣🤣🤣 My old orchestra classmates are gonna get a kick out of this interview
The reason violas are better than violins is because they are larger. Giving you more warmth when you burn them for firewood 😃
My mother's name was Viola. Nobody's mother is named Violin.
"I don't have the sexual confidence of Miss Piggy." - John Oliver. I hear you, bro.
Totally Gonzo ...
Did he forget about his campaign to win the heart of Adam Driver? One could say that took some sexual confidence.
i was thinking “miss piggy is what I’D love to be...” great that John was so chuffed... (british for pleased x)
Definitely...Gonzo!
To be fair, no one but Miss Piggy has the sexual confidence of Miss Piggy.
Did anyone else not want this interview to end? I could watch these two together all day...
