Cool John Oliver story. I met him at JFK airport. Told him I really liked his work. He seemed to genuinely appreciate it and said "Oh cheers thank you". Shook his hand and went on my way. Turns out we were on the same flight to the Bahamas. As I walked past him and his family on the plane he recognized me, smiled and waved. Thought that was so cool. I didn't want to come across as a weird fan so I was not planning on saying anything to him again. But at the baggage claim he went out of his way to tell me and my girlfriend "have a great trip guys!". Such a class act and completely down to earth. I don't agree with all his stances but will be a life-long fan anyways.
I think interacting with people in an airport really shows you who they are as a person. More often then not they just want to get to the destination and be done with travelling, hardly anybody is in a great mood because everybody just wants to be at their destination. So the fact that he was super chill and polite like that speaks volumes to me.
My faith in humanity really plummets after seeing how people act when traveling through airports and commercial flights.
A friend and I met him a couple times in NYC, more than a decade ago. We met him once in Union Square and once outside of his comedy show. Celebrity status aside, it was pretty cool talking to him as a person. Smart and funny, and down to earth like you said.
I love your last sentence. That is what it is all about
His "stances" are non-existent. Let's say His Family stood to suffer from any of the things he reported on. Would he make a video pleading with the decision-makers in charge to please tyrannize us slightly less or try & get immediate solutions? Thinking "things *should* be better" when you have the capacity to _make_ them better isn't a stance. In fact it's a great illustration of avoiding taking one. He's waiting for "someone" to "do something" which no one suffering immediate consequences has the luxury of doing.
"This is my Vietnam. I shouldn't have got into this and I've got no good way out." Absolutely sent me.
What a great line 👏
His way with words!!😂😂😂
😛🤣
Sent you where?
This comment can live in my head rent free.
"The science hasn't caught up to what you're doing to your body" is the line that killed me. I love John; one of the best episodes ever.
I think the is the hardest I've laughed at one of these episodes.
The science caught up to football and people still watch it, play it & sign their children up for recreational brain trauma. If the science says its not poison but may-as-well-be, people will still be eating it & watching millionaires endure torture.
“Policies are much more important than politicions” Wow, so well said👏

“The problem is the loudest journalism in America is generally saying the least.” Sad but true.
The loudest is usually rage bait. Meant to outrage and cause more chaos. That's why we have so much right- wing terrorism. (Ex: dude that beheaded his own dad and blamed leftists)
Deacribes John Oliver perfectly
@@seanmarkham6965 read minds much?
He would know. Acting as if he wasn't part of the echo chamber the whole time.
I see this comment triggered the Trump voters.
This is one of the last people I’d expect on Hot Ones. I’m all for it
I look forward to references to the painful after effects of this interview mixed into a discussion of, IDK, prisoner over taxation in Peruvian prisons early next week.
Weird bot comment
I love how they constantly give us unexpected guests.
His is quite literally the last person I thought would go on Hot Ones.
I was shocked to see him, but I'm here for it!!! His poor bland British palette is gonna melt and his tongue fall out.
"Even as you're waiting for major change that you think might not come, incremental change is possible and valuable." Thank you, John. I really needed to hear that today. Also I love your work!
Thank you for writing this out!!
John is so delirious at the end that he just claps along when the crew applauds him.
(Tears running down his face) "i love- i love- ....i love puppets, Shaun."
Adding this to my fanfiction abt them
I'm watching this as the gym and I blurted out laughing at that part
Has anyone confirmed John is still alive?
I laughed deeply when he said "I love puppets"
_Sean_
I can confirm, Crowe's jockstrap is alive and well at Blockbuster in Bend
Thank you, we can rest easy now
I know it smells crazy
So are his outfit from Les Mis, and his robe from Cinderella Man.
Wait, it gained sentience?
@@spencerredden6743 Oh, it was *always* sentient... if jockstraps could talk...
"John, don't wipe your eyes with that. It's going to get in your eyes" *Immediately rubs napkin all in eyes* XD
He's talking more about his fingers.
The quiet laughter of the people off camera is better than any laugh track.

And the laughter of everyone else on set as he says it.
“It’s a monkey in a top hat, which I do like” John Oliver kills me 😂
Monoloco!!!
John is not a hugger. That he got up and gave him a hug says a lot about this experience. 🤣
17:40 I've found that there's a weird effect when you eat hot food that is a bit above your pain threshold, it seems to trigger some weird instinct to continue eating. It's as if chewing more food is preferable to just sit and feel the pain, despite what you're eating is adding/maintaining the pain.
I've noticed that too. It's not above my threshold really, but I can eat through a big bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos or a bunch of spicy wings and not really feel the heat until I decide to stop. And then all of a sudden, I'm like "oh right, those were spicy. ow."
@@lugialover09you’re totally right. this is the flamin’ hot Cheetos experience hahahaha
This might be true for many questionable, or even outright self-destructive, behaviors.
"That was.....hotter than I wanted the first one to be.." Killed me. Love the funny brits.
You can have Russell Brand too if you like, he used to be funny.

@@samn6498 I used to love his work ten years ago, but as I learned more and more about him, I got more and more disturbed. I'm also not a teenager anymore, so I guess that's something, too.
Eve Sean's first question " Do you have a favorite misuse of HBOs resources?" was perfect LOL
If not the host, someone on that team loves LWT - that's such a fan question ❤
That's a common question on John's sheet from the publicist lately. Every interview this is a question.
canceling our flag means death
That was so spot on and hilarious !!!!
Oh he’s done so much with hbo money is great my favorite was his most recent the putektek bird of the century campaign where he destroyed the competition by a mile
5:51 the story about him doing the encore in Edinburgh is absolutely hysterical 😂😂😂
I adore John Oliver!! Did I expect to see him here? No. Is it one of the top 3 best episodes ever? Yes. Thank you Sean! ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Da Bomb needs to put John's review of it on their bottle from now on IMO. "An objectionable thing for humanity to do. It's not the worst thing we've ever done, but it's part of our worst instincts."
Honestly Da Bomb has a huge well of celebrity reviews to go to because of Hot Ones
there were zero good intentions behind its creation
Laughed out loud with this XD
Loved that.
@1:49 "i *_LOVE_* misusing their resources" You can see the joy in his eyes, he really does love it 😂
Goals
"come cancel me daddy" something he has said more than once
"Science hasnt caught up yet with what you've done to your body"😂😂😂 "This is my Vietnam" 😂😂😂
John's last answer about his outlook, rings so true. There are good people out there who are fighting/working the good fight. I thank those who do, and if anything the Daily show group (like others) are keeping hope alive. Maybe more they they know or maybe they do from the letters they do receive from viewers like us. I just hope no mater the outcome, John can keep his head up proud that his voice is heard and his children are better off for it. We don't all have to see eye to eye but we all have to make the world a better place for our future.
Young John, being a rogue cashier redistributing wealth, is genuinely fantastic.
I agree. It shows that he has actually cares about what he preaches, and has for a long time.
@@gabbym333 TDS was full of good people. Jon made sure of that.

I'm still laughing as I write this: LOLOLOLOL!
Dont forget 'establishment shill'
@@organikness Yeah maybe if any of his opinions were original you could call him "smart", but alas, this is not the case.
The way he had the whole studio laughing at times was really great xD
John Oliver is one of my heroes. He successfully deprogrammed me from insane political rhetoric and talking points I used to believe in.
So he successfully re-programmed you to his own insane political rhetoric and talking points? I think John's funny, but everything he says these days is dripping with ideology. Colbert is the same way. They are tools.
John Oliver repeated Hamas propaganda against Israel as if it was real. He didn't deprogram you. He just changed your channel.
The irony…
@@mistergrieves please explain.
Thats awesome
A guest I never expected but always wanted
Nice
Hello
Nice
I adore John. I also can’t get over how British he took this whole thing. He stayed composed with understatements like “I didn’t like that” while tears are coming out of his eyes. Incredible.
I know right!!
meh
Uncrackably English
it's the english way XD I was thinking that "even if he were dying it would barely show on his face" XD
I would love to hear him talk about his time with Zaltz, even more so for Zaltz to appear however briefly on LWNT especially as Zaltz now has his dream job .
I was getting ready to watch a video about something totally unrelated, but KZhead glitched and showed me a screencap of this video before playing the actual video I wanted. the moment I saw that, I was questioning what I had just seen and desperately searched to look this up as frantically as possible and to my happiness and pleasure, I see John Oliver on hot ones and my heart flew
"This feels... like my Vietnam." The crew losing it sent me 😂😂
The pride I feel for the Hot Ones Team when the guests say “that’s a really good question” never gets old.
Or when he mentions some deep cut from the guests' past and their eyes get big and their eyebrows perk up, like, "what? How did you find out about that?" 😅
Especially since John is himself a host, so he must intimately know about deep dives on guests!
I don't think another Hot Ones moment has made me laugh more than "oh..you blacked out after Queso Sin Queso"
Queso esta sola
Should have followed with a fade out and "Ah, youre finally awake"
That had me rolling.
You don’t force feed us anything John. We are doing our best to lead by empathy, and you help us understand so that we can strive for equality. Thank you for everything you do.
22:00 he really did nail that. My brain exists in that space that recognizes the need to burn most of this system down...its encouraging to hear that while Oliver also struggles with that regularly, he points out that as they investigate deeper there are always rays of hope. That helps.
"Dynamic pricing system... These beans are more than you thinks." ~ John, the cashier Robin Hood. 😂He's always been a G. Sean and John are two of my favorites!
I actually got misty eyed when I was imagining little John doing that.
I worked in a Dive Bar that had that system. When I started, the old timers would tell me the price they were charged for their drinks, and the owner had another amount for the people who were new/part of the gentrification of the area. Basically, the new prices were for all, once the last of the old regulars, who would show up at 7 am daily, died. RIP, Moon.
I should add that I used the Dynamic Pricing System in my dog training business, going forward. If you paid for a dog, it will be reflected in the price of my visits, as will if you rescued one from Death Row. If you can afford $2,000 and up for a pup, you don't need me to lend you equipment to try, or to donate my time. But hey, that's my business model. You don't have to agree!
@@carabiner7999 I do this for art workshops I run. A group of kids from the less nice part of town coming in to learn they can express themselves and be an artist even if it doesn't turn out how they planned, they don't tend to waste my materials, and I charge my costs. A group of wine mommie's or bacholette party looking for something "fun to try" while they get sloshed and waste my supplies "because it doesn't look right! I need to start over!", well I know you're gonna cost me more and I need to get paid for my time too ;)
John's answer to the last question reminded me of one of my favorite qoutes. Mr Rogers, when he was a kid and saw some tragedy on TV, his mom would tell him, "Look for the helpers. There are always helpers."
I was thinking the same thing.
He was truly an inspiration and an certainly seemed to be an eternal optimist. I'll never forget how Fox "News" called Mr. Rogers an evil man who ruined a generation.
somehow it makes me weep😭
What does it mean?
@@ChemistTea It means that no matter how bad the situation is, there are always going to be those who are willing and ready to make it better. Don't let yourself fall into thinking that everything is terrible and there is no fixing it, rather rely on the faith that change is possible, and that there are those out there wordlessly and incrementally enacting change.
John Oliver is part of my sustained hope and faith in humanity. The more I see and hear from him, the more I love him and appreciate having his voice in this world. So often he both makes me face the horrific truth of where we are at as a society, while simultaneously giving me hope that there is strength and compassion still working hard in this world. Loved watching this- hot ones is always a lot of fun, but this interview in particular was beautiful. also? HOW did he get through this without any drinks to the end?!
I can't believe how well he took it and how coherent he stayed through the whole thing! That's a sign of a great comedian right there
"I love, Ilove, I love.. um.. puppets, Sean." Da Bomb can make you concise as heck at times.
You can have on as many celebs on as you want. But John Oliver is close to peak guest for me. The line "you deserve the monkey in the hat, spitting its metallic venom at you," delivered in the throughs of spice agony.... is just simply poetry. It shows that John is a writer and artist at heart, and I love that.
I miss the time when he was actually funny. Now he's just woke and pretentious. Nothing funny in that.
@@Zombot012Aww don't be such a snowflake
@@Zombot012 Keep that 'woke this, woke that' antiwoke bs out of here. Nobody cares that your opinion on a comedian is defined by their politics, there's bunch of hack comedians out there making a buck telling you how unwoke they are, go cheer them on.
@@Zombot012 He's still funny. The difference now is he's making fun of things you like and you can't handle it.
Just learned this: it's "*throes* of spice", pretty old Germanic etymology apparently!
This one was absolutely hilarious, John is so naturally funny, he doesn't need an act or a bit he is just a funny person.
What an absolute champ. I was not expecting him to make it through. Always nice to know that your heroes are even cooler than you'd thought. 😁
A guest I never expected but always wanted.... He did great, no water or milk & took decent bites! What a badass.
Sean either props
He definitely took it better than atleast half the other guests, especially Gordon Ramsey and his bag of tricks.
Gordon was a difficult episode to watch, I don’t think I finished it. He was so jagged and hard to watch. John destroyed him.
I can't wait for the comparison vids of him compared to all the other British guests.
@@StefA-ko5kbHe always follows the guest to make it equal & so they know he’s on the same journey as them & not cutting corners. If they eat the entire wing, he eats the entire wing. If they only take a bite & eat ice cream, he does the same, & so on.
This is easily one of my all time favorite hot ones episode. John's vulnerability and enthusiasm for life and being uncomfortable is so infectious. Plus his childish giggling throughout the episode is a treat
I think this is now my favourite. What a legend.
I’ve decided this is tied with Aubrey plaza’s interview for best ep because i love it for exactly the opposite reasons
And... Not. A. Single. Sip. Of. Water. Yes, it is up there at among the very best of interviews in this series.
Given that John Oliver does come from a country, where the hottest thing on the menu is the westernized Indian Curry Takeout (after a long night of binge drinking) he is REALLY brave to come here.
@@Hydrazine1000 Nor anything else to lessen the pain. He just accepted this was going to be his fate and he kept a stiff upper lip about it.
John Oliver is my KZhead go to guy. I watch every single J.O. video the algorithm sends me and he NEVER disappoints me. He is as my father used to say about Robin Williams "Chronically strange"..... Indeed dad and wonderfully so.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love John Oliver any more than I already did, but, here we are!
The "content black hole" analogy really hit the nail on the head. It's so easy to get caught up in the never-ending cycle of consuming content without even realizing it. Time to reevaluate how I spend my time!
It´s been 3 Hours since you posted this. How´s it working ?
Just like all things, it's about balance.
Especially when so much of it at the moment is human suffering. We were never meant to deal with so much tragedy at once and we’re making ourselves mentally ill from it.
When reddit had their kerfuffle a few months back, I used it as an excuse to quit it like a bad habit. I was spending 10+ hours a day on reddit doom scrolling. Now I waste the time on other things but not all on one site. Some sites are drugs, I even cringe now every time I open reddit for a reference link.
Bro youre just advertising your channel 😂
Seeing John Oliver be reduced to "I love puppets, Shawn." is exactly why I watch this show.
"I love lamp." - Brick What we can infer from this statement is found in the related Quora submission What is the meaning of “Worthy is thy lamp”? A former pastor's response is this. "The phrase is “worthy is the LAMB.” Worthy means worth, that is the LAMB is of such worth to receive God's blessings. The lamb is the symbolic name for Jesus."
I’ve watched every single episode of last week tonight several times over as a leftist pizza delivery driver needing something to listen to while driving, and I’ve learned to appreciate John as a comedic, chaotic good entity that inspires me to do good in ways I never would’ve appreciated otherwise. John Oliver inspired me to take part, and I can’t thank him enough for the laughs and inspiration. My hours of underpaid labor were made worth it, because I spent them being inspired by him.
I didn’t think I could love John Oliver any more but I was wrong! This was fantastic!
"Even as you're waiting for major change that may not come, incremental change is possible and valuable." Truer words have never been spoken and need to be taken to heart by all.
+
The fact that he came up with that while actively dying of spice overload is a testament to just how amazing John Oliver is
When a world-class mind is reduced to gibberish by sauce: "I don't know what I'm talking about now. I love puppets, Sean."
This line was great!
I had to run and hide in the bathroom to snort-laugh at that part. Perfect comedy.
You honestly think John Oliver is a World Class mind?? based on what?? Honestly
John Oliver is one of the stupidest people on TV, ffs.
😂😂😂
This man helps my workout regimen in so many ways. He breaks down topics that I wish "the (commercial) news" would touch, topics that make me angry enough for things like battle ropes where otherwise I'd just be breaking glasses without his commentary to distill the horrible instincts of humanity into something useful; he does it with such levity that I say "**** it, me feet are destroying my life, but there are worse things in the world, so I'll run today if I can listen to this"; and by Gods does he help with core day. Laughter during planks is such a game-changer that I almost have abs now. Thanks John. PS: cashier robin hood is the archetype I strive for.
(laugh-crying) Another in a series of what I truly hope will be a long, long, long running series of truly excellent interviews. Kudos to everyone involved in bringing these to life. And a high-five to John for not only his endurance, but his "presence" under fire... or perhaps *on* fire.
I've never heard the crew laugh so much behind camera. It was beautiful. John Oliver is just wonderful.
the production is much higher quality now, so that may be a factor, but I also remember the Shia interview getting a LOT of behind the camera laughs
Loved this episode! John Oliver was an absolute treasure, and his chemistry with Sean was on point. The grocery store story had me in tears! 😂

ive gone to one of his live tapings before and he lets and audience ask him questions before the show and he always answers them so genuinely and you can tell he really loves people and a nice guy. foe being famous, very down to earth. He was so sweet and nice to the audience.
Telling Sean he's got the stomach version of CTE is the funniest reaction I've ever seen to Da Bomb
John gave us an amazing quote I paused to write down at 21:57, "Incremental change is possible, and valuable" and I think this will stay with me for the rest of my life because I think more people need to know that and be told that.
We basically live it. It's called "growing up"
Dramatic change is possible and valuable too. It’s also hyper necessary at this point in time where incrementalism has only ever served the powerful and pacified the people.

Philip DeFranco's episode has been my favorite for years, but John Oliver just stole the show. His final answer? *Perfection.* He didn't just land the dismount. He took home the gold. John Oliver is literally one of the people who keeps me holding on in this world and I am so grateful to have him.
Not all us Brits are unfunny
Absolutely, that final note about the state of the world/humanity made me tear up! What a wonderful episode
The least over-the-top American
Truly
The best episode of Hot Ones yet. By far. What an excellent guest John was!
That hug moment at the end was super endearing. Loved this!
He's such a quick comedian.. maybe not the fastest, but the quality of the joke combined with the speed in which his mind thinks of it, makes him one of my favorites.. especially when he's being interviewed.
he is unique, a gem :D
You don't need to be the fastest runner when you hit the ball out of the park.

@@SimuLord Josh is leagues behind Sean. Not even in the same realm. He's just riding the coattails of GMM.
@@SimuLord Who's "Josh?" I've never even heard of "Mythical Kitchen."
His answer to the last question was perfection - and pertinent to every day in which we're faced with doom and gloom about so many aspects of this modern life - you only need to seek out those working to make any kind of difference, big or small, to know that there are people that aren't giving up on this experiment called Earth.
This is everything I've ever wanted from an episode, including John Oliver. Watching him progress through the wings, while being able to still talk in that very specific way, is such a delight.
John's closing sentiments remind me of Gandalf's sentiments to Pippin in Return of the King: "Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
99% sure that was in response to Galadriel asking, "Why the halfing?" in the hobbit movies.
Yes!
Except John Oliver is closer to being the Messenger of Sauron. I am ashamed I use to watch his show at all.
@@Nathan-hl4uq Care to expand on your take?
@@Cynry His show has been caught straight up making things up. He is no better than shows like CNN or Fox news. Propaganda if you will.

He always say that.
Never watched the show before, but the guest is one of my favourites and the viewing was well worth it, for both the premise of the show itself and for the view of John beyond his regular format.
The hug at the end ❤
Sean Evans needs to teach several master classes in interviewing. I think he's one of the greatest EVER. John said, "Wow, that's a really good question," TWICE, and was clearly stunned by how many odd jobs Sean knew he'd done. And every interview, Sean serves the same quality!
Sean Evans and Nardwaur could do a Masterclass on interviewing tbh
@@YaBoiBigNutzThey do incredible research on the interviewee. That's really key.
Good point well put, he's consistently good at his research of his guests.
Let's not forget there's a whole team of producers behind this! Well done to the countless hours of research they've done
@@Iyeeedr Apparantly its just Sean and Nardwaur doing the reasearch... he's mentioned it in the past
"The stomach version of CTE" is my favorite quote from this show in recent memory.
there was some good quotes this episode to be sure.
Sean you are a masterful interviewer and your questions are so unique and bring your guests into a new dimension and we get to find out things about your guests we would never in other inyerviews
Loved him since The Bugle days. Oliver and Andy Zaltzman are the perfect comedy double-team.
15:44 the way he's lost it so hard that he just spews out any idea "I love puppets, Sean!"
One of the best hot ones ever. That grocery store story is one of the most wholesome things I've ever heard. This man is a treasure.
Seriously!
It really was one of the best. 2 of the greatest interviewers of all time just chatting and interviewing each other sort of... Next time Nardwuar.
I have such a deep respect for John, and seeing him in this interview/challenge and how he reacted really boosted my appreciation even more. He kept his professional composure till the very end and handled the wings well.
the comedians are always the best ones on this show lol
Hmmmm... Ricky Gervais was a little bit of a wuss
"My instincts say that this is going to go very, very badly." he says as his eyes light up and excitement level visibly rises.
that's fear
That final question and answer could be the most profound interaction in Hot Ones history, and that's saying a lot. I loved every minute of this episode.
What a great interview with a great guy. Enjoyed every bit of this, especially his reaction to Da Bomb. When I was a kid, a few of my friends tried it, just a drop or so each--an immediately regrettable decision 😂
15:44 "I love... I love puppets Sean" This had me literally crying. He cant formulate a thought. He just loves puppets.
John took a _second_ bite of that one wing almost everyone hates. What an absolute madlad. Spittin' facts and sheddin' tears - such an enjoyable episode!
"I love, I love, I love... Um puppets Sean"
All the people arguing in this thread, whos minds are you going to change?
I was honestly surprised by how well he did. This somehow was simultaneously both far less unhinged and far less interview-like and more like a regular conversation than any other Hot Ones I've seen before. (I'm one of those people who don't watch every one, though.)
I saw him do that and immediate thought was 'WHY?"
@@spiffhedge He isn't trying to do that lol
Does anyone else feel like they need the full unedited version of this? John Oliver is an absolute legend.
Yes!!! I need the 90 minute version of this.
First episode I've watched in a while. I loved that it was finally spelled out: that it's an interview, but it's a trauma bonding experience at the same time, an idea I had long ago, when I first watched. Loved the offer of a hug at the end! John Oliver was a champ!
My god, I haven’t laughed harder or more consistently in some time. John is hilarious, loved seeing HIM laugh so much! Great episode, probably my favorite!
The fact he took his time for promotion to promote someone else’s book was incredible. It confirmed my belief in John Oliver as one of the best humans on this rock.
I don't think I've ever heard the crew laughing in the background so much, this was so wholesome and so funny. What an incredible guest to land. And he plugged someone else's stuff at the end?! Come on now.
I was going to comment similarly, the vietnam joke took someone on the crew out
Definitely the cross over I didn't expect but greatly enjoyed. Thank you both for this episode.
