Richard is either banging on about his ball(s) or a missed joke in a film from over half a century ago. Bet you wish he was still doing the Aphantasia stuff right? His guest might have been Harry Potter, but he’s done OK anyway, it’s John Oliver.
They discuss whether the Love Guru is worth the £3.49 rental fee, facing off to the SAS in a terrible gig in Aldershot, graffiting fruit on a terrible topical news show on More 4, the research required to play a Smurf, working with Dan Harmon, getting emails about medieval poetry from Terry Jones and whether the UK will ever manage to do a great topical comedy show and the one necessity that is required for that to work.
Has success changed Oliver? How did he end up with a sewage plant named after him? And is a bad stand up gig equivalent to being in a war zone? Plus experiencing a 100% walk out, what it meant to be able to carry on doing Last Week Tonight (and RHLSTP) during lockdown and the return of an old favourite emergency question. It’s a really good one. Get it down your lugholes.
Hey Rich. I've not watched in a few months - you know how real life has that bastard knack of getting in the way, right? - so I had no idea you'd been ill, never mind with something serious. For what it's worth coming from a stranger on the internet, I'm rooting for you. You've given me many laughs over many years. And given how grim things can get, stuff like that really fucking matters. Take care mate.
This.
Just read your comment and you wrote everything that I was going to post. I've not tuned into the podcast for a long time so I wasn't aware of Richard's health issues.
I really can't wait to hear the good news about Richard being given the all clear and a clean bill of health.
Also, reading all of the supportive comments like the one above restores my faith in TH-cam-humanity.
Anyway, great to hear Rich is just as brilliant as he has always been.
Also, John Oliver is bloody fantastic. I'm jealous that the USA stole home away from us here in the UK.
@@RaxLakhani this
@@RaxLakhani we love ❤️ John here in the u.s. ...actually many of my favorite comics are from the u.k. / I'm happy that I can watch them on TH-cam...love task master, QI, + oh so many more!
thank-you...
You’ve got some balls doing this so soon after your operation. Safe recovery and thanks for the podcasts!
Not some balls. One huge ball
"I know a man with one ball named Rich"
"Oh, what was the name of his other ball?"
Is it just me or does Chris Evans (NTO!) look like he's exactly half-way between John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman?
I’m shocked that John’s wife’s boyfriend let him appear on this show.
?
We never get to see him just laughing and happy. Oh, John, so sweet and so tired.
John Oliver is streets ahead
Didn't expect to see John here of all places. Lovely, innit?
This was the right place to see John. Interviews with him, while usually funny, tends to feel a bit uncomfortable. Not so here.
The internet is such an odd place to see john Oliver
Two of my favourite comedians together at last! I remember being in school listening to Olivers bugle podcast and was amazed at the level he could talk bullshit at a top level. The hbo show is awesome too one of the only ones of those American style politics shows that's legitimately funny!
what makes a show "American style?"
I'm really happy the cancer is under control Rich - you don't know me but I've known you for a very long time and if you had grown into a huge pulsating Akira-like creature? then it wouldn't of been just Tokyo that you destroyed.
Loved this interview with John but feel like The Bugle and Zaltzman could of been bought up... after all you almost upset Andy about being deserted ..
This was lovely. Just lovely. Thanks for your tenacity Rich, you got him eventually!
Great guest and now you definitely need to get Zaltzman back on...double win for us...this does not go, In The Bin(ITB!)
Cheers for this. I have loved the bugle and rhlstp for soo many years. Also hot on the heels of Alice... Hope Andy and Nish can do one together.
he sounds exactly like David Baddiel
It's weird, I just recently got into british comedy (Thanks, Alex Horne) and somehow never realized John used to be part of that scene. I love this so much! Now how are we gonna get him to appear on Taskmaster?
Well, John Oliver is friends with Russel Howard, who's been on the show...
But I think living in the US is a fair disadvantage to book him.
Maybe Taskmaster would be different but I'm not sure if John is a big fan of being on panel shows. He always looked really unhappy on Mock the Week, though he was on it when it was a lot more competetive in terms of fighting for air time than it is now.
@@maxbarnt3835 I'm not a big fan of panel shows in general myself, but Taskmaster is just so good and so absurd, I bet he'd absolutely love it.
His bed is a park bench, well at least he's brought it inside.
This is one of my favourites of all time, so sweet and so giggly 😂
I think this is some of Herring's best interview work. I feel like this is the most casual/relaxed version of John Oliver I've come across.
He did a Bugle episode with his old partner Andy about a month ago, and John was pretty chill there.
@@Wiley_Coyote yeah man, I'm a long time bugler. I frequently fall asleep to their back catalogue on shuffle; which has inevitably lead to some really weird dreams (nightmares?) about Silvio Berlusconi - but I digress... Perhaps it is that I project a certain level of underlying interpersonal anxiety between Zaltzman and Oliver due to their divergent life/career paths. Though mainly, I think this was just a more off-the-cuff, sans artifice conversation than John's typical talk show or podcast appearances; whilst being long enough for them to get into a comfortable groove.
P.s. your username is producing all manner of improbably high-concept mental images.
Check out him and Russel Howard.
John was great of course, but this I think is genuinely the best I have ever seen Richard interview somehow. Two extremely generous people I think.
Terrific episode, John Oliver was a ddelight, just as you were... Glad to read it wasn't on Twitch cause I wouldn't have forgiven myself for missing it live.
Agreed. One of the best. Very relaxed and sincere. Two old acquantances catching up.
@@CommissionerSleer Exactly how it felt, yep.
such an unexpected delight. keep up the excellent work you are both doing
John Oliver had a cameo in People Like Us (The Police Officer) and it was many many many years later that I realised it was him.
Where's my f***ing Bugle?
John Oliver was the car salesman in the opening scene of the first episode of Green Wing - I wondered whatever became of him.
He became a mouthpiece for identity politics and big tech communism
@@elingrome5853
people who whine about identity politics are usually the ones who use it the most.
And I presume by 'mouthpiece for big tech communism' you mean 'is on tv'.
@@elingrome5853
> Listens to TalkRadio, Sargon of Akkad and Tim Pool
> has shit, uninformed opinions based on crazy right-wing conspiracy theories
Yep. Checks out.

@@bengreen171 don’t forget ‘thick’ Dan Hannan
I'm here for the Mark Dolan hate
I always get mixed up with John Oliver and Louis Theroux. And Stacey Dooley.
Didn't know this one had been on twitch. Will watch this as like John. He's done well in the US and his show is really good. Although I do get depressed when I realise he's a year younger than me but massively more successful.
was not on twitch. It's a little surprise one
@@Herring1967 Ooo thank you kind sir.
Get well soon Richard!
Going to Eton, Oxford, being white anglo saxon helps 1:06:55/1:12:44
Rick and Morty, Community.....and two minutes in Green Wing!
Wonderful surprise! You're looking good despite all the nasty medical stuff. 💕💕
What a treat! You can tell John's a pro now too, looking down the barrel and not at the video.
I am heartbroken that the Mash report has been cancelled.
Other British satirists of note (apart from Armando Iannucci) are Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris. I don't think the satire situation in the UK is really that bad.
Great stuff Richard. On the John Oliver front AND the not dying front. Cheers 👍🏾
More people should sign up to Twitch if they have Amazon Prime as its then free. Why? Because Richard doesn't get all the Ian Amazon money, a certain amount of people have to sub each month before you get a payout apparently.
A wonderful sideways look at a sideways look at the news...
Richard, this is my first time being exposed to you...outstanding interview with one of my favorite political comics. I love John Oliver and he helped millions of Americans get through 2020...what a shit show, on so many levels. I love your humor concerning your cancer...laughter gets us through horrible times. Hang in there. I look forward to looking back at your past videos. Wishing you the best from San Diego, CA.
Great interview Richard hope you are feeling 100% very soon.
Great episode, but who down votes this? But each to their own, must have been the Aldershot lot.
You got the Love Guru guy? How did you manage that?!
Anyone else expect the camera to pan over and reveal John Oliver sharing Richard's bed?
We can dream!
I know this is a little late, but I'm sorry to hear about your recent health scare, Richard. But I'm pleased you're doing okay now. Keep smiling, and wishing you all the best.
Only just heard that you have been fighting cancer! (I'm a bit behind on this podcast). Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Your tomfoolery brightens up my day!
Apologies if someone has already said this. The majority of your seminal fluid is made by your prostate, not your testicles. That’s why you can still ejaculate post vasectomy. Glad you’re feeling better.
I hear that SARS-CoV-2 virions all call it RHLSTP.
"The Love Guru" is actually a funny movie. Definitely worth watching. Chance and fate keep stepping in and sending the protagonist off on strange and amusing tangents.
Still can’t believe we happily exported one of our greatest comics, and through indifference split up one of the best comedy duos since Lee and Herring.
He’s a tosser
@@elingrome5853 interesting opinion. I'm genuinely curious about the reasons you decide to leave this comment on a one and a half hour video that contains someone you clearly dislike? I'm not looking to get into an argument - I'm just confused as to why you felt the need to call him a 'tosser'?
Surely it would be better for you to completely avoid any videos with him in, and instead seeking out more of the content you like?
Again, completely up to you. I just hope you're living your best life.
@@RaxLakhani that was intimidatingly polite
Probably maybe the most famous Brit, who most Brits haven't even heard of.
Shouldn't have watched that, off work with broken rib so the laughs were painful and plentiful. These two could be brothers, despite very different paths they both seem the giggling school boys they were all those years ago, only now the audiences are much bigger and there's laughs not walkouts. John seems such a down to earth bloke for a megastar, and deserves all his success, but like Richard feel he should have been backed more when he was in the UK, we didn't appreciate what we had until he'd gone.
Amazing to see John Oliver here, big fan of them both. Take care Richard, I wish you a quick recovery.
Good show :-)
Always wondered what Chris Evans (that one) looks like.
Glad to see you're doing ok Rich. Few minutes In and mention about the Westy - would have been a few years ago since most of the squaddies are gone. Definitely a good venue (with different clientele nowadays 😁).
Yup it would have been 2003/4
It’s little Johnny Showbiz fresh in from TinselTown!
Semi knackered still working hard for us, thank you
Hello from Hong Kong. Well done, Rich! Glad you're doing well. Keep up the great output!
How do you get through the internet blocks?
@@3506Dodge In Hong Kong? There aren't any.
Next time (fingers crossed) John will be best known as sound engineer on one episode of rhlstp
I'm glad he mentioned the Bob Murray thing. And he's right - watching it IS utter euphoria! Going to watch it again after this. What that Monday morning production meeting must have been...
25:00 John Oliver is one of the four horsemen
Get well soon Richard
Cancer, it must be a Richard thing, they cut mine out of my arm, got all the margins clear, no need for chemo. Everyone I know that has gone through chemo says Marijuana is the Best soother for the pain, nausea and calming your head. I hope Richard's Chemo is more than successful and all Cancer is Eradicated. Get Better Quicker !!!
Love Mondays now John is back. Something to look forward too.
Awesome stuff. Thank you.
Do you rate the the last leg on Channel 4?
That was so cool to see John Oliver in a podcast . You worked with so many people in your life .
I liked John Oilver in Oliver & Company. That was a good one.
Wonderful, wonderful! ❤
I would choose from all the museums in the world the Louvre glass pyramid.
Well done Richard, one positive from your surgery, I thought of a new emergency question: if you had to have a testicle or breast removed, rather than replace it with a silicon falsie, would you rather have: a squeaker from a dog toy, a bell chime or like one of those chiming chinese hand-massage balls, or a third?
As a one-breasted cancer survivor, I'd go for a laser gun/whiskey flask hybrid tit.
Love you! Hope u cope as well as possible, loved my Sunday afternoons with u qnd stew x
Me and you have one thing in common.
We used to have two things in common, but that's life for you.
Not long enough !!!!
Keep up the good work john
Excellent to get John on a week he's off, great interview too
The difference between how John comes across as opposed to James Corden is staggering.
James is doing a weight watchers ad now and couldn't be more limp wristed.
Richard will now be regarded as a citrus fruit comedian..that's funny!
So brilliant. Can’t help wondering if the casual viewer might not know who “Andy” is, and may believe it refers to the next announced guest Andi Osho :)
Watch The Love Guru Richard. It's on the level of Adam Sanders's Best.
Awesome. Awesome to the max.
Wonderful episode, thank you.
Anyone notice Richard say that 'David Jason' played Harry Potter? Imagine that.
This was really nice this one. It's rare that I think something's going to be good, and then it is good. It would be SO good if Rich got Dan Harmon on.
Glad you're feeling better Rich. Take it easy.
Long Live RHLSTP ☠☠☠
I second that.
RHLSTP!
I'm mostly here for the rat erotica.
RHLSTP!
RHLSTP!
Chemo? I stopped watching for a few months. What have I missed?
Rich had his right bollock removed (now a puppet character on his brilliant Twist of Fun podcast!) a few weeks ago, followed up with a bit of chemo. Read his blog to get all the details. Going to provide him with comedy material for the next decade! As it should.
6:50 yay! Hello Chris Evans. You rule.
Yay wantet this!
Hope you are ok

One of them made the Slack alert noise. Gives me shudders to hear it.
Ooooh, nice one Rich
Ben Elton has let himself go
Blimey, wow and all those noises, weren't expecting that.
Well in lads👍
Ole' Johnny four-eyes
Johnny Showbiz
Get well soon Richard xx
I needed this today. Utterly delightful ❤
This one was weeker. Great stuff.
If your next comedy tour isn’t called ‘Richard Herring has only got one ball’ I will lose my faith in comedy.
I know John did segment on TV Nation, Michael Moore’s short-lived but excellent series. Is he ashamed?
Any chance of a Randy Rainbow episode? Maybe you could press him for a definitive answer from him as to whether he really does like Trump or not. I'm undecided!
John is so adorable 😭😭😭
