The US doesn’t deserve John Oliver. Thank you GB!
Yep, in exchange for returning him, we’ll let you keep James Corden. No need to thank us.
I dunno, he’s a citizen now. Feels more permanent than just a loan. Sorry think we get to keep him and play with him as we see fit.
”Without these people, it would be painfully obvious how unfunny I really am.” - John Oliver, probably
Whatever. I’ve seen him do stand-up and I think he’s funny, but it’s not like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert or Conan O’Brien write/wrote all or even most of their own material.
It’s not meant as an insult - this kind of self-deprecation sounds exactly like something he would say.
Yeah I got the tone right away. It is something John Oliver would say. And there is some truth to it. I loved the Daniel O’Brien Cracked videos (like After Hours) and he works for John Oliver now. There’s some bits Oliver does that’s just so Daniel O’Brien.
This one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk011WMM7t0
It’s kinda trippy to hear John Oliver saying stuff that’s 100% a classic Daniel O’Brien Cracked video.
What a way to say “I’m illiterate”.
I agree the show has mastered this technique. But counterpoint, empathize with an audience that isn’t liberal. As a leftist, I’m rarely learning from this show. But this method helps me laugh at, rather than get angry at, our enemy. Leftists need to have fun.
Care to provide an example of a “non-sequitur or otherwise absurd metaphor”?
here’s ten minutes of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr9sbk9UTI0
He seems to actually care. He and Conan are the best.

Can’t movie studios theoretically hold forever, because they still receive money from sources like streaming subscriptions.
Maybe we should start canceling these until the strike is over.
Bought a parrot, a boat, and raided my first family in the middle of the Pacific. Unclear on the rest

John Oliver is a national treasure.
