“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
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.
Yonderlake
The Brits will forgive Any disaster, as long as it’s done Grande.
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.
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
'Keep in mind you're on CBS.'
'Oh uh ********************''
God bless this man. That bleeping was beautiful.
M0oranshi “they’re not on cbs”
"So, a crazy British guy just decided 'how hard can ski jumping be?' and HE fucking LEARNT!" I'm crying rn xDD
Damn, Oliver's sharper than I thought. This interview had so many great quips in it. "He loves Norwegians to a genuine fault."
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!
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.
I've never enjoyed Winter Olympics discussion so much.
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...
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
:)
I rarely watch the interviews, but John Oliver is one I always watch. Love this guy.
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 love John Oliver so much lol.
Listen to the bugle podcast first 200 episodes he’s in them all.
I love these two men together. I could watch them read the phone book and laugh hysterically.
*MY BODY IS READY*
For whom? Oliver or Colbert? Or both? No judgement.
i'm so looking forward on oliver's update of 'stupid watergate'!!!!
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!
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.
Damn. This guy was on fire tonight. He didn't miss a beat
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
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
"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 UA-cam.
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.
"The sad thing is: even if Donald stopped doing and saying bad things right now, the rest of the world will *mock* America and Americans with him for decades, and we're just going to have deal with it, just like Germans have to deal with people bringing up Hitler."
Then maybe you should do a little more, to stop him. After all - in contrast to the Germans in 1933, today's Americans already know, where these ideas and ideologies can lead to.
Stopping him might not stop the *mocking* for electing him in the first place - but it might prevent much worse *accusations* later on. Because I strongly believe *getting mocked* wasn't Germany's top priority problem after WW2.
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.
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 UA-cam videos? XD
I AM SOOO READY FOR SEASON 5!!
I love how absolutely unapologetic he is about swearing on CBS. I fucking love this nearsighted parrot!
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.
John Oliver is a blessing upon this earth
I'm British and I think both of these gents are great. Colbert is just charm and class personified.
Oh john, i love your interviews so much
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.
Two of my favorite hosts together!! Love them both!
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!
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!
Can it be February 18th already. John Oliver, our country needs you
So nice to see a REAL interview on TV once in a while...
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.
Those two together, are awesome!
The chemistry between these two is so fucking good!
I love these two men so much.
John's cynicism is just like....*kisses lips* ....so beautiful
Okay, I have to admit that John was killing it with the 1936 Olympics reference.
LAST WEEK TONIGHT IS ALMOST BACKKK!! :D
I HAVE WAITED ALL DAY FOR THIS
I love them so much they just need a show themselves where they talk about the news and stuff.
February 7th is round the corner and we are all set for John Oliver day! Stephen and John have great conversations
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.
or blown up with an AA gun
Great banter between them! That was hilarious. The video before was great too! These guys should be together more often!
My two favorite hosts of shows that occur at semi regular intervals
"There's a British side of really respecting a good defeat, that's why we like Dunkirk so much."
Great quote
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.
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
Oh I've missed you, Johnny Strong.
Yeah, the Nazis thought Norwegians were awesome, too. Most Norwegians were not flattered.
I am in love w John.
And I wanna see if today is another John Oliver Day. Will see 😂😂😂😂
“I’ve been on skates and I can get off the wall a bit.” Same
John was peak English today
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!!
John Oliver should be a required guest at least monthly! Perhaps even weekly!
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!!!
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!
Greetings from Norway! Sorry about the winter Olympics... We love it though!
I'm loving John's confidence in this interview 😂 get more comics in as guests!!
I am an English teacher in germany and just taught my 7th graders about Eddie the Eagle. They loved him :D
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!
Oh my heart. I thought it was John's show already.
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.
These two gentleman together are comedy gold.
John Oliver is such a witty nerd. I love it!
We need a joint Colbert Oliver Late Show in this world!!
Eddie "The Eagle"...ah how I loved the film. Never thought I'd hear his name mentioned anywhere.
"That seems like a highly skilled thing to do. I think I'm done watching a Norwegian doing it."
I met Eddie the eagle bar hopping during the Calgary ‘88 olympics. Great guy!
Love john oliver here as guests
I ❤️ John Oliver!
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!
Winter olympics>summer olympics
I watched Eddie the Eagle movie and it was FANTASTIC!
I personally want to buy a pair of John Oliver "Off the Wall" skates.
1:12
That laugh
I love this interview so much, I want to have children with it. Thank you so much for this, Sirs! :D
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.
that jessie owens joke was SO GOOD
A lovely interview.
Let’s face it as good as Colbert is John is Just amazingly better funnier more knowledgeable
Nobody remembers who got gold against Edwards, that’s all I’m saying
All Finns remember Matti Nykänen.
Winter sports JO indulges in : tiddlywinks, snakes and ladders, book cricket..
Don't forget shinanigans.
The Koreas already have been unified in a recent Olympics, they marched together at the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics; everyone seems to forgotten.
Well it's almost two decades ago, so people are surprised that they are doing it again
And I wouldn't call 2000 recent
+amalieaco that's a relative timeframe though. OK, there have been 8 Olympics since Sydney (Summer and Winter combined), but North Korea didn't compete in 2 of those, so 6 occasions have gone by since they last marched together. Add in the additional facts that the diplomatic reprochement with this aim happens at every Summer Olympics (see historical accounts prior to both Beijing 2008, and London 2012), and add the premium PR value that this Olympics is actually in Korea, and this is absolutely nothing unusual, unexpected or unprecedented at all.
NB: I deleted my original reply, as it had omitted the number 6 in the first line - I don't like editing, as it means one can change weak arguments after the fact.
Or they just ran out of shits to give.
That’s his point. Look how far the cute little unified ‘Team Korea’ got us here today after two decades. Same hype, but with more nukes.
That line about British defeat and Dunkirk is pretty clever. And true too.
Great guest. Always good.
hahahaa "is there a medal for this? oh he is off the wall!" 3:09
Love his laugh. 😄
I love when talkshow hosts interview other talkshow hosts xD
There should be a podcast! Lets get them all s2
This should be a Monthly interview period
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.
