John Oliver Showed a Rare Display of Emotion
/ fallontonight
I am actually very glad Oliver didn't take over the daily show from Jon Stewart, he had to be let free. The fact is that John Oliver's show fixed everything wrong with the daily show, which was the network restrictions and the celebrity interviews. Last Week Tonight has taken what Jon Stewart started to a whole another level, and i really hope his show lasts as long as the daily show did.

Both John Oliver and Colbert owe a lot to Jon Stewart and they both happy to say so.
+Toveri Juri When Colbert, Oliver, or Noah get a chance to do something for John Stewart, they go "FUCK YEAH! ANYTHING FOR SECOND DAD!"
+Toveri Juri ~ also Samantha Bee :)
@Nealon
It’s JON Stewart. Short for “Jonathon.” Just as Jonny Lee Miller is short for Jonathon Lee Miller.
Dingo D. Manhunter Thank you!!!!
There's a reason why everybody loves John. He's a truly nice, decent human being.
Bleeding heart liberal
+thatoriordanlad Yep, if you show compassion you're a bleeding heart liberal. It's so uncool to give a crap.
+Jordan Wendt Sorry that facts are on the liberal side so the only thing you can hate us about is simply being liberals. I'm surprised we aren't insulting you Republicans more, most of you are xenophobic, uneducated racist shit heads with no real understanding of anything and with any facts being branded "liberal propaganda".
Charming, intellectual and influential, yet still has the signature bad teeth of the English men!! That's the POWER of a British man.
He's a liberal socialist regressive douche bag.
John Oliver has the best dimples in the game..
+Dakota Hayes 100% true
It makes him look like such a cute bunny, esp with the beady black eyes..so adorable 😻
+Dakota Hayes In the words of Jon Stewart, "dimples you can get lost in".
+Roger White please tell me he really said that!
mariosa82 Yes, he did say that, although I phrased it wrong. www.cc.com/video-clips/kvojkx/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-jon-learns-what-happened-over-the-summer go to 1:53, his exact words are "John Oliver has dimples you can lose yourself in". :P
none of them knew then how huge "last week tonight" would become.
Phero best show
+Daniel Gonzalez I agree it's such a great show!! Now I hope HBO picks up Larry Wilmore and gives him his show and put him on either before or after last week tonight.
I don't even think John Oliver thought it would get this huge, he does an amazing job
I am the one who flocks he is so humble :)
and not for publicity just he is a normal british guy
@ALegendAry Wolf Difficult, very difficult.
They're still carrying the torch of the king-of-fallacies, Libertarian/right-of-centre in disguise..
...'Willy Billy' - after all.
He's to them what Mr James "Jimmy" Kimmel is to the ABC®. The only difference being, the latter is significantly more valuable.
John Oliver deserves every shred of success he has. He is a seemingly great and interesting guy and hilarious to boot.
THAT WAS ADORABLE JON OMG
He completely overshadows Jimmy on his own show!
I think that's the idea of a talk show. Personally, I think it's better when the guest has the spotlight rather than the host dominating their time. To me, the host is meant to be a facilitator and push the guest to control the spotlight
Actually, he overshadows everyone on their shows... lol
piyaltaru A good talk show host should have an innate understanding of when to let their guests 'run', when to reel them in and when to coax them and make them feel at ease due to nerves etc.
I don't rate Jimmy as highly as Conan (but then I don't think anyone's in Conan's league overall) but he's going to improve over time. They all do. Plus Jimmy has the advantage of a great rapport with his 'support' players, Steve and the band.
The clunkiest show right now is Colbert's. They haven't found their groove at all.
Joe Brokenstrang conan is awkward af and hes not really funny. in a funny jokes kind of way not a retarded dad jokes way.
Joe Brokenstrang what you said about colberts show is so true lmao
"You sound like an immigration officer." - Truer words...
Jon Stewart's like a Dad sending his little boy to big school for the first time.
In the clip, right?
He even did the Dad hug with the hand on his head 🥺
Cloud I noticed that too 😢
Its amazing how much talent the Daily Show has bred, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and now John Oliver may be the best of them yet. Love the guy and his sense of humor. The new HBO show is great and The Bugle has been great basically forever. So glad he's getting more popular.
Also Rob Corddry & Ed Helms ;)
Trevor Noah
"I'm a pre-1770 American." Seriously, no one got that joke?
I did.
Right??? That at least deserved a laugh
That flew right over me and I still don't quite understand it, do you mind elaborating?
Before the independence, all Americans were British, and he is British.
Ummm, yeah...I totaly got the joke...umm...ofcourse, ummm...BE RIGHT THERE, MOM, sorry, guys, have to bo, I mean go, bye...
Pre 1770 American.... that one went under appreciated.
Jon has changed so many lives it's incredible.
John is like a comedy giant compared to Jimmy. Started off by shutting down Fallon's British accent followed by his pre-1770 American joke.
***** I made a comparison, might wanna get your pc sensitivity radar checked up.
Mikhail Kalashnikov God Fallon is unfunny
Lina In comparison, it's a popular opinion that John Oliver is funnier that Jimmy. Just read the comments on this and other videos.
Master Debater He didn’t shut down Jimmy’s British accent, he joined in.
Well Fallon does do more than one show per month so there's that.
My favorite British man; John Oliver
^^^
ghayath2011
Naw- I'd rate Hugh Laurie just above John Oliver-- But John Oliver is a great man!
Mine too
ghayath2011 My favourite American man is Dennis Rodman.
JJ Kent kim jong un is that you?
I am sick and was lying in my bed when I was watching this. I laughed so hard that I couldn't get air and almost chocked. Well done, Mr Oliver, well done.
Every time i watch this it makes me tear up as well. What a comradeship
John Oliver is me when I do my last musical as a high school senior.
just leaving this here for myself because i've come back multiple times to see a British guy's British accent. 00:12
DapperDan o
I did!
The impression was very stereotypical.
And no, I'm not feeling bad( "offended").
@@Widdekuu91 The one at 00:12 is him making fun of Jimmy's accent.
@@MisterIkeJones yeah the later parts of that are much more like general english speech (where he's doing his impression of his friends is a bit deliberately over-stressed but still)
The bit from 0:49 - 01:08 ish is more natural, the one 12s in is exaggerated Hollywood Cockney mockery. It’s the “seven an’ a ‘alf ye-ahs” and “I fort we…” bits, which is very London.
Britain has a whole ton of variations, regional words and accents though, from crisp Home Counties RP to country burr to harsh urban variations that can change over what must appear to an American as only a short distance. Sorta reflects the cultural melting pot but maybe also minimal internal movement until comparatively recently (Industrial Age maybe?).
pre-1770 American ..... clever man .... Also facepalm to jimmy on the prev statement ... love this clip.
this honestly just makes me love john oliver even more
That moment was special enough to be one of John Oliver's four hugs in his lifetime !
Last Week Tonight is an amazing show with an amazing host!
The love JS’s disciples have for him is really something, JS must be an amazing man! They show him so much love..
John crying is so freaking cute :3
OMG OMG OMG I always love everything about John Oliver even more every time I see him do a thing, and like... This just makes me love him moar.
i love this man too much, it can't be healthy
pre-1770s american.
barely anyone got that joke, but it is SUCH a good joke
Peter Johnson So true!! I had a double-take and burst out laughing!
I still dont get the joke... :( and im not joking.
***** So America pre-1770's was... *drumroll* Part of the British Empire! So, when he says he's "pre-1770's American" - he saying he's British.
Arjun Menon ahhh ty kind sir. lolol it is funny now that i get it..
That must have been one hell of a moment when that specific soldier saw this broadcast.
I just love it how Jimmy is giggling uncontrollably through the whole thing.
So much respect for John Oliver.
I've loved this guy's take on humor since Mock The Week. I'm a bloody John Oliver hipster my friends. Booyah!!!
+Sarah Smith +Sarah Smith What about his brief appearance in Green Wing a year earlier, booyah! :P
The owl will always have the high ground...
I love Jimmy. I think he's sensitive, childlike, and sincere. I think he has a really hard job and he's doing his best, which is much better than TH-cam commenters would like their limited readership to believe. I've watched hundreds of these videos and I don't know why I've chosen this one to finally snap, but I had to put my insignificant voice out there to say that I love Jimmy Fallon, I watch this channel for him, I think he's hilarious and charming, his boundless enthusiasm for everything and bumbling personality is delightful, and the overwhelming number of hateful comments criticizing the way he laughs saddens me every day.
+Ky Burton this (not insignificant) comment makes me very happy. regardless of what people think of jimmy, what good does it do to be so hateful?
no one is being hateful...he is just the worst late night host in the history of late night...dude has no personality and is not funny..and kisses all his guest's asses...but if you enjoy him, all power to you
You can tell they really like each other :')
There shouldn't be 'fallout' when a man sheds a tear. That was an honest display of emotion and not something to be ashamed of.
Oh a side note; John Oliver speaks the truth and is funny while he's at it. Watch his show, regardless of your political affiliation.
Oh and Fallon is a pogue. What a shitty interviewer.
You are right about displays of emotion, of course, and British people would agree with you. This is a good example of the kind of cultural misunderstanding that results from the British sense of humour.
His friends were joking. It wasn't a fallout at all. Fallon completely got this, I think. Oliver impersonated his friends in a (probably exaggerated) London accent. This kind of ribbing happens a lot in the south-east of England. Maybe you've seen the emotionally repressed James May and Jeremy Clarkson make fun of the more American-thinking Richard Hammond in a similar way on 'Top Gear'?
When he says "We're suspicious of emotion. It's weakness", this is British self-deprecation. He's showing that he's able to laugh at himself, which is a greatly-valued trait in British culture. To emphasise that he is not serious, he goes on to say "You're bringing shame upon your family name to show emotion of any colour", which surely no one could take seriously!
It's weird that John Oliver isn't at all famous in the UK. He was briefly on shows like "Have I Got News For You" and "The News Quiz", but then he got a job writing for American TV, so he left - our loss!
Also, those were definitely real tears. Fake ones include making a big show out of it.
antinsanwo Sunday Night Live With Mah Uncle Jeff! Today's topic: McDonalds is very bad for you!
Terry O'Neill He's only human.
+sarcastic bowl of cornflakes You might have issues with your empathy levels; you sound a bit sociopathic.
john oliver is the best
I always find it jarring to see British people that are famous in the US but unheard of in the UK.
He made a great decision to go over there. American TV is at its best at the moment. It's far better than the crap we Brits mostly put out. There may be exceptions to the rule but British TV is really in a bad place.
Jimmyduudah I am a MASSIVE fan of Top Gear and catch it on BBCA every time a new episode airs, and no one can argue with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock. There are more but these are the real standouts to me. I think you guys and gals do an amazing job with what you do. We over here also adore everything Python. You lot have done well by us for many a decade now and I say keep up the smashing work!
Young Frankenstein
You're pointing out the exceptions to the rule I was alluding to, you won't see the crap in the US (or at least not as much of it). Though Python is of a different era when British TV was in much better state.
Jimmyduudah For the size of the country we do OK. You certainly don't see the French or the Germans producing the level of content that we do. Dr. Who, Downton Abbey, Shelock, Spooks, Peep Show, Skins, Being Human, Luther, Misfits, The Inbetweeners, The IT Crowd etc. have pretty decent followings worldwide, especially the first three.
Hullensian I'm sorry and I know it's redundant but we failed to mention Orphan Black... and I would tune in to that yummy-yummy standing in a plain white room saying her alphabet slowly for half an hour a day. Boing!
John has such a great sense of humor
Jimmy completely missed the pre-1770 American joke.
utkarsh sankrityayan As well as 99% of the audience.
Explain pls
@@soyou9212 It means he's British.
You don’t know that. Just wasn’t super funny. It’s basically a fact.
@@Sheena39 The audience could have understood it for all you know. They didn't laugh at the joke because it wasn't funny. Humor these days is crap compared to Robin William's comedy. R.I.P. Robin Williams. I miss the days when humor actually existed.
John's show is THE BEST
Fallon comes off like a frat boy.
Oliver is class.
im British and what he says about how emotion is treated here is 100% true
I deadass got teary-eyed when I saw John get emotional, I don’t know why, but like, I can’t stand seeing my mans actually displaying emotions
John’s regional British accent is much stronger here than it is now!
A good GUY !!! :D
I can't read this right 'cause I keep emphasizing "guy" and it sounds weird.
2022 and Oliver is so polished now! I love his show! He deserves every Emmy he’s gotten and more!
A pre 1770 American! LMAO That's golden!
I almost shed a tear watching that clip again.
I cannot find that clip anywhere? 🤔
Can you help?
@@humsabmagluhain www.cc.com/video-clips/le2xsr/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-a-john-oliver-retrospective
here you go. The clip starts around 7min in
@@DustinMillerPolyInnovator Thank you Dustin 😍😍
John Oliver went to Afghanistan for the troops....Fucking Cool!
Either Jimmy forgot...or conveniently "forgot" that he got all choked up when he did his last Late Night show. Search 'Jimmy gets emotional' :)
There's just something so endearing about a man crying though
It's fucking adorable, I don't know why. But I never find an urge to laugh when a man (or anyone, really) cries, I have an urge to bundle them up in blankets and go "Awwwwww!" while I clutch my hands to my heart.
***** Sad gender role, isn't it?
+sarcastic bowl of cornflakes The fact that you assume crying is a copied expression rather than an involuntary response tells me you may have sociopathic ideation. You might want to think on that a bit.
John Oliver: "Yeah, we're suspicious of emotion, it's a weakness."
Jimmy Fallon: *laughs* "You consider it a weakness?"
John Oliver: "Yes, it is a huge weakness, you'll bring shame upon your family name to display emotion of any color."
So basically Sherlock's entire life.
john oliver is a hella cute cryer 😇
2 of my favorite Late Night hosts ever together. Awsome!
1:45 only took a few years after this appearance but yes. finally.
What they don't mention is that the clip they had just shown John was not only a surprise at an already emotional time, but the clip ended with the last few bars of "God Save The Queen." I dare any man to not get a bit choked up on hearing his national anthem. :-)
Jon Stewart and John Oliver are effing hero’s
like i couldnt like him more.
John oliver is great. it's strange to think he grew up where I live and he has become so big in America
Loved it!
My brain must be like 45% mirror neurons, because EVERY TIME, I see someone shed tears of joy, I get misty eyed...
I love Jon oliver, Stewart, all of them, they are amazing human beings
"it didn't occur to me that the audience were as heavily armed as they were" I DIED. God, I love john Oliver
Gotta love John Oliver.
I LOVE JOHN OLIVER
John : Hi, I am John Oliver.
Jimmy : Hahahahahahaha...
Him, David Mitchel and Richard Ayeoade all went to uni together, that must have been a weird yet hilarious group
David Mitchell was there a few years before the other 2
Ghost_Hands Actually RyanGiggsOBE is correct. David Mitchell was president of the Footlights in what I think was Richard Ayoade’s and John Oliver’s first year. There’s a picture of the 3 of them (and another guy) that you can find online. David Mitchell included it in his autobiography (I think it’s called Back Story).
how come being asked “are you alright?” always seems to open the floodgates?
Because it means someone cares.
John Oliver should have a show of his own...
He will that's why he left to pursue his new show. His new show is call "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" will premieres April 27th 11:00PM on HBO.
Oo2k10 Irony alert. ;)
Hope you're joking... else it's an epic fail moment.
Oo2k10 It is the best show ever. EVER.
2 favourite people.
I LOVE him!! Emotion or not!!
Love Mr Oliver! Gahh but I always hate when they have community actors and they dont talk about community!!
hey dude your name is an informed CNN
An informed CNN?
your name is C alvi N N ation just a weird observation and i didnt want to call you regular cnn in case you didnt like cnn
nerdy opped
you high brotha
sadly, no
I 💙John Oliver And Jimmy too 💙
I finally found the full clip (I couldn't seem to find it on TH-cam) where john gets emotional. It's on the comedy central website. You can find it under "A John Oliver Retrospective"
Thank you :)
Two of my favorite celebs, Oliver and Radcliffe!
john oliver is awesome.! this video is so nice
Jon Stewart must be a pretty decent guy all in all.
Pretty sure we had enough evidences of that to call it a fact.
I totally agree with you I like him on HBO His show can do what they want and it's been awesome I hope for many more shows
That's true about English and emotions, well if you're a guy. My parents were raised by English dads. My father was very emotionless. He stuffed it down until he had two heart attacks and a stroke. Anyhoo....I am glad John O has at least somewhat left that behind.
I'll be perfectly honest...i searched fallout 4 and this came up...not first of course but about the 20th video down.
Did you accidentally type "Fallon 4"
Jimmy Fallon's raucous laughter makes me uncomfortable.
John Oliver is a legend.
As the years go by....
John Oliver's bangs go bye....
that hair though 0_0
so glorious
jimmy intimidated by john oliver.
The youty
This is why people love him.
I love Oliver, I can’t stand Fallon.
He is really funny!
Ah, the friendly rivalry between all the night show hosts. It's fun to watch.
He's so funny and nice. I'll be watching his new show :)
That's a nice pin John's got on. First Team, 1st CAV!
Jimmy is doing a good job. He lets the guest do the talking. He's likeable too.
it's always weird when one big hosts interviews a much better one
This was an awesome interview...
0:49 I get the feeling he was saying "Cause he's my dad" and I don't know why...
please jon stewart come back and do something. we need you so bad right now.
Maybe honest display of gentle and vulnerable emotion, and not just violent hatred, would make the U.S. better.
hahhahahaha that pre 1770 joke was amazing
Omg at his stand-up I went to see he told us that story!
Lol wow I never saw that. I know it was hard so part of me was like then don’t leave!! But we are blessed with last week tonight now.
Watching this in 2020 and wonder what time did to John Oliver 😂 He was cuteeee
