@@BlueEyedBrunette - that close was hilarious, lol - plus with Jon standing there looking confused that he actually successfully threw a football on camera.
Aussie here. Never seen Ronnie so excited, trying not to fangirl over someone . Very sweet to see his angry little heart so happy. 😂 John and Ronnie play together so well. More please! ❤
He left enough room to clown around and give John comedic space, but also stayed the moderator with his angle to connect over the immigrant experience. Great stuff!
I say this often to people I grew up with who think complaining is the answer. Imagine seeing an opportunity half way around the world & leaving everything you're familiar with including language & family. Open your eyes.
I'm glad these guys talked about how difficult it was to gain a green card & citizenship for the USA. It took my BFF's Mom 20 years & $20,000, to get her citizenship for the USA. She was 66 when she first arrived in this country. Her 3 daughters were already here, had USA citizenship, & were going to take care of her financially.
I cannot believe she went through all of that with her daughters already here. Wow. I never realized the potential cost of a family member trying to come to America to be with their loved ones ~
@@jeanneganrude8549 Yep. And she never worked while here so, she never got Medicare or Social Security. She never got any governmental assistance, at all. Her Daughters took turns having her live with them. Thankfully she was a healthy Woman because they paid out of pocket for all her medical, dental, & vision costs. When my Grandmother came to this country in the early 1900s, her soon-to-be Husband had to show immigration that he had $1000 in cash, to sponsor her or they would have turned her away at Ellis Island. If the latter happened, she would have had to come up with the money to pay for steerage passage, on a ship, back to Europe. It took her 1 year to earn enough money to come here, in the first place.
How long ago was that? We're about to do the same thing for my wife's mom, but I find it difficult to understand how it came out to $20k unless they hired a ridiculously expensive immigration lawyer. We hired an immigration lawyer for my wife for her Permanent Residency process and I believe that was about $5k + government form fees. We did her Citizenship paperwork ourselves after reviewing the PR paperwork and it wasn't too bad at all. The fees were maybe $2k or a little less. Her mom's paperwork should be just under the $2k mark, again. If you don't understand how the paperwork is supposed to be filed, it can quickly spiral out of control due to loss of form fees and such. I could tell how relieved my wife was when we even got the notification from USCIS that her permanent residency application was approved and to be expecting her acceptance interview and receiving the card.
Such an excellent and hilarious exchange between two guys who came here from other countries and made it as comedians in the US. This just made me inordinately happy.
John Oliver going to America to join the Daily Show ended up being an amazing move. Instead of being just another UK panel show comedian (with peace and love), he really found his calling with political satire. His show is so meticulously crafted. Funny and informative in equal parts. He was amazing as a Daily Show correspondent and killed it as the first temporary host. He's been a great gift to American political comedy.
he was fire as a political comedian back before he came over too! He cohosted a podcast with a fellow comedian called "The Bugle" and were so legit that they were fired from the Sun for how the covered the Sun's participation in the phone hacking scandal. He stayed on that podcast his entire time at the Daily Show, and I think up to or through his first season at HBO. his F*ckulogy for Bin Laden was amazing. Just amazingly funny stuff. I'm so glad he's here though. I just wanted to shamelessly plug the pod because Andy still has it going.
I take most UK panel shows over most American shows doing political satire though because for one words aren't bleeped out like on the Daily Show for example and two UK crowds don't laugh or clap every time its expected. There's no tradition of laughing at lame jokes or applauding at specific times with UK crowds. Just watch 8 Out of 10 Cats or Have I Got News For You and then compare it to the Daily Show or Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Jimmy Carr or the guest host isn't doing an opening monologue. No the guests get roasted first by the hosts and then the show starts. With The Daily Show the guests are treated like they are Albert Einstein even though most don't even have half the IQ that Albert Einstein had because that's been always been the American way since the birth of the American talk show format in the 1950s with Steve Allen and Jack Parr, to later Carson, Letterman, Conan, Kimmel, Stewart etc
@@jahsoldier14what is “F*ckology for Bin Lasen”? Is it a stand up special? A book? Idk I’ve never heard of it but I’m a huge fan of Jon Oliver so I’m interested now, would totally appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction 🙏😎
John Oliver is a hero of mine; his deep dives into topics that often go unnoticed have compelled me to watch his show regularly. Additionally, no one hires a band to grieve the death of geckos, buys five wax statues of presidents, and mocks dictators around the world quite like he does.
I’ve never seen “kind” Ronnie. This is awesome. And he has a lot of love and respect for John. This was a nice peek behind the curtain of his character. Love both of them even more.
Ronny Chieng is a natural interviewer! Conversational, laid back, actually responds to what the guests says without going on a tangent. Reminds me more of Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers’ conversational styles than Trevor Noah’s storytelling style. This dude’s gonna go far whether he gets the gig or not-John’s evidence of that! He filled in hosting TDS, got his own show without taking over this one, and succeeded so much.
I love how John helped Ronny get out of his near collapse, which started around 5:40. You could tell Ronny was nervous, & it got worse when he started bashing TikTok users. Then, John seamlessly changed the subject & got Ronny to talk about something he knew well & felt comfortable with - his monogram. John didn’t care about it - he was just helping his fellow comedian & knew it would calm Ronny’s nerves & help him shine. Love him!
"That's the tricky thing as an immigrant. The more I felt at home here, the more cognizant you are of the fact that it's not up to you whether you get to stay or not." 100% relate to that as someone who has been in the US for 10+ years but still may get deported any day. It's extremely stressful. Thank you for capturing that feeling so precisely with these words
It seems like Ronny grew up watching american talkshows, so he's gotten on as the guest on some other shows, keeps telling each of them how much he loves their show. But I think he definitely shows the most respect to John, cuz he was joking about hating on Seth Meyers so their shows could start beefs with each other for the views XDDD
really cool to see even as many people would think a guy like ronny has "made it", he's still looking for wisdom in every oppurtunity possible, really shows the work ethic it takes to get here
I think he wanted security to jump in at the end. So we’ve already failed him. Look at his face. He hated that hot dog. And very much didn’t want to throw a football. But he did it to support Ronny
The way John as a mentor can guide the convo (the Tiktok comment to transition to the cufflinks) is so amazing. That is what is so cool about having a mentor, especially someone so compassionate.
I immigrated with my family from Ireland when I was 3 years old in 1989 so I went through the entire American schooling system. I still had to take the English test as well as the citizenship test despite having earned a 5 on the AP United States History exam as well as both AP English exams and graduated with two Master's degrees from an American university. My older brother is a high school history teacher in America who used to give the citizenship test *in his classes* and he still had to take the citizenship test. To be honest, the worst part of my citizenship interview was, because I've grown up in America, I've absorbed the cynical attitude Americans have about the country. My interview was right before the 2016 election so I asked if I would eligible to vote in time. I was not so, forgetting where I was, I quipped, "Oh, I guess I'll vote in the next one if Trump will let me!" I immediately realized that I f*cked up so I started laughing nervously and insisting, "Just kidding!" to the stone-faced interviewer and her trainee. I had my naturalization ceremony only a few days after Trump won - I almost didn't go but I went and got naturalized. Now I vote in every. single. election.
I honestly like Ronnie's longer bits more than his short. I know he's doing a bit but he's really insightful and genuine when his true self come through.
I'm glad they're talking about the greencard process. I've been in it for nine years. My mental heathl has never been worse. I think about going back quite a lot but I've built a life here, now.
I’ve had so many coworkers lose their H1B visas in the lottery system and get moved overseas. It’s gut wrenching. I wish the whole system would be reviewed and updated because it’s bonkers.
I have so much respect for John and Ronny, they are a great team. You can see how very genuine they are, Ronny really looks up to John. Awesome interview and I wish the very best to both of them. Loved it! ❤
I loved watching this. I knew it was difficult to become an immigrant the “right way”, but didn’t know just how difficult it was along the way. And of course they tell their stories with literally laugh out loud comedy. I’m elated they’re both here! You both obviously deserve to be here more than me. I was just born here and have No extraordinary talents. ❤
The "If you don't like it you should leave" is a dumb argument, especially in a country that you can famously change the laws in. If you don't like it, you can work to change it.
Just give them the ol' Steve Rogers (Captain America) answer. "No, I don't think I will." and include, "I think I'll stay and make America a better place."
This is such a great segment. As a fellow immigrant trying to do comedy here in this country, Im currently going through the process of unlearning what might by funny in my home country and learning the methods of American humor. Both John and Ronnie have successfully been through this process and are pure class for sharing their stories. Thank you both for paving the way for immigrants who may want to pursue a career in comedy in this country. Inspiring to see you both along with Trevor (another immigrant) on the Daily show.
That was adorable. I love how they discussed their common challenges and how they highlighted how hard it is to “come in the right way”. People who say that have no awareness of what immigrants go through.
WOW-O-WOW-O-WOW!!! This was a such a wonderful, humorous interview!! Glad you both are here in the USA providing so much genuine entertainment to us all!!
I appreciate Ronny Chieng's excitement when interviewing John Oliver. That genuine excitement made the interview so much better and personal Chieng is auch a treasure
I feel like this is less of an interview of Ronnie to John than it is both of these gentlemen interviewing each other and I am totally here for it. Especially when Ronnie turns the tables on John "check out this boomah!!!" 😅 🤣
Great and hilarious interview! It’s true that it’s very difficult to come here. It takes luck and money - people don’t realize that. We tried 3 times ti save up money to board a dinky boat and were attacked by pirates 7-8 times before we landed in Thailand and had ti stay in refugee camps Neogen coming here. And we were able to come here bc we were considered political refugees and our country was at war; whereas my uncle had to stay at the refugee camp for 5 years bc he came a few years later and were considered economic refugees and therefore his escape was not as dire. 😢
seeing Ronnie beaming like that, when John said "he's gonna be fine", was so endearing, I could say that it was the ultimate compliment at that moment for him, and has kind of ruined my enjoyment of him being a complete AH comedian 😂 ❤
he may not be the worst possible choice...but he's close.Not even 10% as funny as Roy Wood Jr., Dulce Sloan, Hasan Minhaj, or 1% as funny as Leslie Jones.
Wonderful segment! I feel like Iʻve seen a side of Ronnie and John I havenʻt seen before -- thanks! It took me several minutes to realize that when they were talking about "philpees," they meant "field piece," as in an out in the field segment. 😛
These two should definitely work together more often! Maybe John can fit him in as a guest on his show sometimes! It was so fun to see how excited Ronnie was to have John on and to ask him questions ! You can feel the mutual respect they both have for each other, their craft, and their new home country! Well done!!
Going off the rails is half the fun in comedy interview segments. But yeah, John Oliver is a class act. A British dry humored, self deprecating class act. And I'm here for it.
Greatness!🎉 A breath of fresh sanity from two very funny crazy geniuses! 🏆 Making this duo regular, in classic "news team" style would definitely succeed! 🤩🤩
My husband was able to come here on a fiancée visa and we got married and he got a green card, but it was such a stressful process. We had to provide so much proof of our 3 year relationship, all our texts, videos, photos, ticket stubs, restaurant receipts, proof that we had met each other’s families, etc. And still, with all that, having a green card means he could have been thrown out of the country at any time. Not to mention, it probably cost us $3,000, with him flying to the only place in his country that was able to do the visa testing and the medical exam, the visa application fee, all the subsequent testing fees (like translation and filing fees) and the filing service we ended up using.
This was hilarious. I remember Trevor and Jordan talking about those suits that they had to take with them. Jordan even wore his wedding suit on the first day.😂
You can really feel the respect Ronnie has for John here. Great interview!
You mean Mr. Oliver
@@Tostorito Mr, Ahlivur
This is what struck me too. Love it
Despite the "you can find his show wherever who gives a f***". Best Ronnie moment there.

what a sweet and earnest line of questioning from Ronnie
Great guys
he was so sincere. He meant it. And that last line he delivered? Perfect. 😂❤
Absolutely 💯 ❤
Except the end, where John remained looking like a startled bird.
He left enough room to clown around and give John comedic space, but also stayed the moderator with his angle to connect over the immigrant experience. Great stuff!
I have always loved how immigrants have so much passion for being part of this country. It is literally what makes America what it is.
Right, but try telling maga Repubs that.

Thanks Malaysia and England. Mmmmwah!

Because he is playing a character when he does his bits for the show.

I was born and half assed my way through life, so I can relate to that struggle.
why anyone would wanna have an US green card is puzzling... is it a life insurance thing? suicide vs. getting murdered?
Such an excellent and hilarious exchange between two guys who came here from other countries and made it as comedians in the US. This just made me inordinately happy.
Me too! Love these guys and just smiled throughout the entire interview ~

Wishing I hadn't read this before the moment.

I so love this exchange. It was like witnessing a private but hilarious conversation btw a mentor and his mentee 😅
No kidding! I felt like the ubiquitous fly on the wall watching these two awesome “immigrants”. 😂
you nailed it.
@jeanneganrude8549 Seeing Ronnie and a Britt being on the same side, of immigration? As an issue? Also was pretty wholesome!
I honestly wonder if it's one of the first times John has heard from someone else that he was to them, what Jon Stewart was to him.
"That's the tricky thing as an immigrant. The more I felt at home here, the more cognizant you are of the fact that it's not up to you whether you get to stay or not."
100% relate to that as someone who has been in the US for 10+ years but still may get deported any day. It's extremely stressful. Thank you for capturing that feeling so precisely with these words

But he did it to support Ronny

@@TheChupacabra and a spiral! Like he grew up here.....
This was nice. It felt like a conversation between two old friends that we just laugh at rather than an interview.
That we laugh _with._ :)
This has to be one of my favorite interviews on this show since Jon’s departure. You can really feel the mutual respect they share for each other.
Ronnie is just wonderful… love the sarcastic persona 😂
It’s very strange (yet heartwarming) that Ronnie talks in so much admiration towards John

My jaw actually dropped when John Oliver (successfully) threw the ball! Love those two so much!!!
I have a feeling that Ronnie is the most in character as a correspondent. When is interviewing he is such a nice person that never gets to come out
I honestly like Ronnie's longer bits more than his short. I know he's doing a bit but he's really insightful and genuine when his true self come through.
Ronnie looking like his been at that desk all his life. I say he should get the nod. He’s great.
I've never seen Ronnie like and really laugh with someone before. Clearly respect
The banter here is just pure gold, more interviews like this!
I love John Oliver!
To see John Oliver on The Daily Show again brings me SO MUCH JOY!
I love how these two have both completely different and exactly the same energies at the same time. I want to see more of them interacting!
I'm glad they're talking about the greencard process. I've been in it for nine years. My mental heathl has never been worse. I think about going back quite a lot but I've built a life here, now.
i know i was thinking about going back to Canada but same here, i’ve been in California for 61 years now and im staying

My goodness what a duo these two are. This was one of the absolute best segments of the daily show.
The "If you don't like it you should leave" is a dumb argument, especially in a country that you can famously change the laws in. If you don't like it, you can work to change it.
And when those people lose power, they cry the loudest about freedoms.
Exactly, that line is for totalitarian countries, not for free countries
Just give them the ol' Steve Rogers (Captain America) answer. "No, I don't think I will." and include, "I think I'll stay and make America a better place."
nailed it well said
More so a country citizens famously have to pay taxes to even if you live abroad.
Best segment this year.

Great and hilarious interview! It’s true that it’s very difficult to come here. It takes luck and money - people don’t realize that. We tried 3 times ti save up money to board a dinky boat and were attacked by pirates 7-8 times before we landed in Thailand and had ti stay in refugee camps Neogen coming here. And we were able to come here bc we were considered political refugees and our country was at war; whereas my uncle had to stay at the refugee camp for 5 years bc he came a few years later and were considered economic refugees and therefore his escape was not as dire. 😢
Glad you made it 🥰 Have a wonderful holiday 🎉
I have utmost respect for the difficult journey you guys have made. I hope you’ve been able to make the life you wanted here 🥺❤️
One of the best interviews I've seen.
Great segment! Thanks for showing the entire thing. It was funny and very poignant. Great content, very moving. 💜
These guys are comedy experts. It is really fun to hear them analyze their craft.
seeing Ronnie beaming like that, when John said "he's gonna be fine", was so endearing, I could say that it was the ultimate compliment at that moment for him, and has kind of ruined my enjoyment of him being a complete AH comedian 😂 ❤
Ronny isn’t my first choice…… but I really can’t complain about anything if he gets the job. He’s insanely funny.
he may not be the worst possible choice...but he's close.Not even 10% as funny as Roy Wood Jr., Dulce Sloan, Hasan Minhaj, or 1% as funny as Leslie Jones.
LOVED this!! I love Ronnie Chieng and this makes me respect John Oliver more
For a guy that refuses to call it a "football", that was actually a solid throw😆
Well he’s been here six years 🎉
That was actually a great throw! Well done John!!!
Wonderful segment! I feel like Iʻve seen a side of Ronnie and John I havenʻt seen before -- thanks!
It took me several minutes to realize that when they were talking about "philpees," they meant "field piece," as in an out in the field segment. 😛
I got told to go back where I came from all the time growing up. I just say I’ll go back to Kansas
Mr. Oliver laughing at being called Mr. Oliver was the best.
Love it love it love it! What great chemistry between them
This is the perfect episode!
Two of my favorite comedians of all time
These two should definitely work together more often! Maybe John can fit him in as a guest on his show sometimes! It was so fun to see how excited Ronnie was to have John on and to ask him questions ! You can feel the mutual respect they both have for each other, their craft, and their new home country! Well done!!
Oliver is *always* a fantastic guest on any show but this was easily my favorite interview he's ever done. That was awesome and hilarious.
Most relatable moment I ever saw in TH-cam 😂😂😂 you have to prove you're extraordinary 😂😂😂
Two great professional satirists. You really have to be very insightful, intelligent and knowledgeable. Love Ronnie and John. ❤️
This is such a wonderful interview-conversation!! Had me cracking up 😂😂
This is a very different kind of conversation from these two. Very refreshing!
This is a real conversation. It’s not angry Ronny working through bits (until the end).
This was a terrific conversation.
I wasn't familiar with Ronny Chieng before this, but he's great! I'll keep an eye out for him.
Amazing interview
I love you both! So glad you are part of this great nation!
Great Segment. I didn't know Ronny started while Mr. Oliver was still with the show 😁. Ronny is great doing interviews and needs a talk show.
Great interview, both are at the top of their game. Engaging, hilarious and yet informative.
John was SUCH A PRO when he saved Ronnie from that "how was it back in the day" bit that went totally off the rails
Going off the rails is half the fun in comedy interview segments. But yeah, John Oliver is a class act. A British dry humored, self deprecating class act. And I'm here for it.
I would love to spend an afternoon with these two guys, they are earnest and hilarious
Greatness!🎉
A breath of fresh sanity from two very funny crazy geniuses! 🏆
Making this duo regular, in classic "news team" style would definitely succeed! 🤩🤩
Put Ronny on the desk permanently and I'll start watching this show again.
I will too.
And you are...?
I haven’t watched the daily show in like six months but I clicked on this
I watch, regardless who is guest hosting
My husband was able to come here on a fiancée visa and we got married and he got a green card, but it was such a stressful process. We had to provide so much proof of our 3 year relationship, all our texts, videos, photos, ticket stubs, restaurant receipts, proof that we had met each other’s families, etc. And still, with all that, having a green card means he could have been thrown out of the country at any time.
Not to mention, it probably cost us $3,000, with him flying to the only place in his country that was able to do the visa testing and the medical exam, the visa application fee, all the subsequent testing fees (like translation and filing fees) and the filing service we ended up using.
This was hilarious. I remember Trevor and Jordan talking about those suits that they had to take with them. Jordan even wore his wedding suit on the first day.😂
My 2 favorite correspondents! Literally brought a tear to my eye.
A power-couple in the comedy arena!
Thank you for deciding to come to America guys ❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 everyone
I’m going to need for you guys at the Daily Show to give Ronny a full week hosting ASAP… thanks 🙌🏾
