"Voting is a privelege in this country" No, its not. Its a right. Its literally called Voting Right. The fact that legislation wants to turn it into a privelege is a crime onto democracy. The States and the federal Goverment should do everything in their power to give as much people as possible the access to a ballot
Only citizens of the United States of America should be allowed to vote. I don't think other countries allow people to vote if they are non citizens and they shouldn't. If you can't ID you shouldn't be able to vote. You should only be able to vote 1 time. Otherwise we wind up with Biden Harris, Shummer, Pelosi, Hillary, Bill, Obama, AOC, Gore, Bernie, Carter. And you are trying to tell me Trump is bad??? I don't think so Mr. Liberal, no thank you
@avedicYour passion certainly comes through!!! I'd just like to add, education. Education, support, opportunity. This will MASSIVELY REDUCE the inmates, mouth breathers, bigoted, and other "scary people" who some would rather could not vote. It is a RIGHT FOR ALL. Therefore, it is a RESPONSIBILITY for ALL to be educated and supported, so that ALL are capable of RESPONSIBLE voting! Only then, will we have the free democracy many proudly proclaim us to already be.
Every once in a while I come back to this video and this sentence NEVER fails to make me feel better about myself. No matter how much I might have fucked up that day at work - no one can say about me: “what does she mean when she says words?” It’s a low bar to reach, but to me it’s worth something
@Cult of Personality but did you go to McDonald’s fans house and tell them their burgers don’t exist, and they’re lying? That’s the difference. He literally sent people to harass the families on their door step and a 5k charity run. Look up Dan Bedondi and his role in it.
An ex friend of mine said he liked candidate trump in 2016 because he speaks his mind, truth. What's insane is these people have learned next to nothing after years of pathological and endless lies.
The real problem enters when people assume that the words "mind" and "truth" do not belong in considerations about Trump. It would be closer to the triuth the say "mindless," and "pseudo-truth." These speak to Trump's chronically delusional condition.
Hold on. You're straining the limits of common sense to suggest that someone would make up such a specific story about such a specific person like the one about mr gere.
I don't know why people call out John Oliver over topics like these! He is just saying the facts with a little humor mixed into it, and because of this, he and his staff are nearly impossible to prove wrong

@Luna are you kidding me? You're taking the absolute worst parts of the newer gens and portraying them, essentially just cherry-picking things to prove your point. The peeps from my gen may not be perfect, but I do believe we are one of the current vessels of hope for a new turning point in America, to get away from all the bullshit and mass ignorance and more towards a stable horizon.
@Pumpkinlord111 @Jason Ellerslie indeed why? It's not just the accent, even poverty stricken british immigrant kids have a way larger vocabulary than a large portion of american kids. Something to do with an education system that emphasizes teaching things, as opposed to focussing on what NOT to teach. Not really an American bragging point currently.
There are some people who argue that voting should be considered a right. But it is not currently a positive right. States are banned from restricting voting based on race or sex and poll taxes but they are free to restrict voting for other reasons, especially because the Voting Rights Act is vaguely written. So there is not a positive right to vote but there are now limits how the states can restrict voting, with slightly different rules for federal and state legislation.
But if course. His number one strategy is projection. Because it works. But only on Republicans. His base clearly don't study basic psychology. It's super frustrating that they continuously fall for such obvious manipulation...but con men always prey on the least educated people and for good reason.
I was about to write: in ten years there'll be millions of people feeling really stupid asking themselves "how could I fall for that" but then I realized that most people who ate it up to begin with will probably never realize they were wrong.
My dad voted for ExPreseident Dumpsterfire the first time, ate it up. Took about 2 months for him to realize it hadn't been some kind of rallying ploy and the psycho was actually that whacked out. A lot of people had that moment. More didn't. More still will, but not all of them.

im so depressed right now i don't have the energy to unmake my bed and get under the covers, but i discovered this show and it's giving me something to look forward to after work. thank god for this show
I've been diagnosed with IBS related depression my doctor recommended a course of Sertraline. Prayer doesn't work so seeking medical assistance is usually the best course of action.
As someone who struggles with it, good to hear you be on the right track. I struggle with keeping up with my busy life as well as my diabetes as it fluctuates despite the medicine I use, the issue is that i need insulin and i can't afford it. (Texas price cap may help me) Anyways, glad you found something to help you to keep up with life. It's shit and as long as we find a way to continue, that's all it takes to find some comfort in it. Glad to hear you doing okay.
"Voting is a privilege" shows the attitude that allows the voting restrictions being passed now. In america it's a right. I'm glad I live in a country where it's your duty so it can't be restricted.
"There are actually many non-you people in the world. We call them other people." This might be the biggest lesson Trump needs to learn! Well said, Cath Man!
Looking back on the whole Trump era feels like a bad fever dream that I couldn't wake up from. The thought of him coming back fills me with a cold dread.
"Now, I know we can sometimes feel you are the only person in the world, but as you can see here, there are actually many non-you people. We call those, 'other people' " Laughed so hard I nearly choked. I think this is possibly the most meaningful thing ever said about #45.
You say that, but I am scared you are very right about that. The way things are going now, I fear this episode can be simply recycled 3 years from now.
I clearly remember watching this when it first came out over 3 years ago, but KZclip continues to recommend it for me every 6 months or so. Still 100% true, just w a million more transgressions now. John should do an updated version of this! 😍
Saw this when first released. Watching it after Trump’s out of the WH is eery. So many touch points including Bannon, Jones, 1/6… This is why Oliver is consistently ranked at the top of his game!
I had a Trump supporter actually say to me "Well, what has he lied about?" I was too dumbfounded to answer. "What *hasn't* he lied about?" would be a much shorter answer.
@Ihavenothingtodo2 You made the original claim that Politifacts was biased. I then provided evidence to prove that they were not. When I asked you to provide evidence of even ONE example of their supposed "bias" you couldn't do it. Not surprised one iota you don't want to argue any more. Most people choose to run from a discussion when they realize they've been backed into a corner. So, you run along now.
@riffgroove Where did you get that I am taking him seriously? Honestly, I dont really want to continue arguing with you, you have been constantly claiming I have said things that I haven't, accused me of belonging to groups that border or are criminal and insulted me in myriad of other ways. And before you start "you did it first", no, you were the first one to do that. As for proof, as I said, I literally can't post it here as it will be filtered by KZclip.
It’s great to come back to these old videos and watching conservatives do everything they can to defend the orange. This is why we are the laughing stock of the world. Congratulations I guess...
@Invader_Jim well those are all words. No logic in them but they are defiantly words. Like a trump speech, started somewhere and ended on another planet. He really was the biggest joke of all time.
It’s strangely comforting to hear John Oliver confirm how absurd this all is. It makes me feel sane again, if only for a moment. I know he doesn’t want to burn out his audience by covering Trump every week in his main segment, but I feel like we’re due for another one of these. I need some reassurance going into November.
@Rohit Because why would he? Just because you don’t like Joe Biden does not create an equivalency where he is the same person as trump just with a different haircut and different positions. If it isn’t readily apparent to you why this is the case by this point then no amount of explanations from John Oliver (or anyone for that matter) will suffice.
I know this is a rly old comment but just had to reply cuz my late dad was & my uncle were/are from England and I have family in Canada too. People from other countries objectively see us as the sham we are. They can tell we are full of shit when we talk about what we are, because it’s still the American “dream”- it’s not real. As George Carlin he was so funny but also so wise), “You know why they call it the American Dream? Cuz you have to be asleep to believe it.”
I love John Oliver’s jokes and comments. And, oh my gosh! That’s a dirty SHAMED of Trump calling our VETERANS a SUCKERS! Guys we need to VOTE this election and we must VOTE this president OUT of the White House
watching this on 2020... terrifying, but so true. I lol sooo badly with the "What does he mean when he says words?"... until i realized how scary that is BTW John rocks!!!!!
I love this guy for spreading the truth. When I watch these episodes I am happy that someone has said it, but also mad at the world for being so, umm... uninformed.
I went to a business expo where Trump was giving a speech on real estate back in the 90s... he was the most obvious crook I'd ever seen, he almost bailed because he didn't get enough applause. Trump's entire 30 minute speech was about being remorseless and how the weak and gullible are meant to be abused and exploited by the strong. "Take em for what their worth, doesn't matter if it's an old lady trusting you with all her savings or a young married couple getting their first home... take them for everything or someone else will" ...That's the one line that always stood out to me.
Ditto. I have also followed up on all the subjects using at least 10 other sources that would be acceptable in a college-level essay. I may be broke, relatively alone but feel that I will be able to win any bar argument that comes up on these subjects. I just don't know when I'll be at a bar again.
I have watched this over 51 times now ,..... I never do that ! It was funny when I first saw this ! It is true and even more funny today ! Thank you for making my life better in these very trying 412 years now !
Trump is just validating the views of foreigners who think that the US is one of the dumbest countries in the world.. Only in the US there can be a high amount of people who don't believe in Evolution, don't believe in climate change, think guns make the country safer, vote Trump.. What the hell is wrong with you?
But in all honesty we can't do anything when our government is controlled by threats made from the US a century ago. The reason our country is so underdeveloped is that, there is no denying those facts. Right now we should break the bonds, we should have no dependance from US, in fact they depend on us on a lot of things. But our government is so corrupt there is no way out of this hole besides a complete revolution and purge of the old people who are holding the youth from changing the country. That's why so many people leave Mexico, they have robbed them the opportunity to make a difference. All tied to an alliance with narcotrafic, a country within a country, with it's own independent economy. And whenever someone talks, like Luis Donaldo Colosio did in 1994 they get killed. Nothing has changed, they govern with fear and lies while living the good life, draining dry the people's money. That's our situatuon, only war can change our future, although there's no one strong enough. Numerous groups of selfdefense have appeared, later on the government "takes control" and replaces then with the army. Then they retreat the army and the narcotrafic wins again, the people is left without weapons and the cycle repeats itself.
Today we learned that this nightmare is finally over! Thanks heavens! PS I can hardly remember how great it was - and will soon be again - to have normal, sane and decent people in the government... Cannot wait!
@Nicholas Bratland He can barely speak, of course we can't use his specific words, so we have to look at what his follower do, and in this case, they took bleach and horse dewormer
I make America great again. Just kidding... I ran America in ruin same as all my casinos and other business ventures. Welcome to Trump world, pay upfront with your life savings or we take it without permission 🌍
I like to be an optimist, but as I write this on the first anniversary of January 6th, we failed. We lost a not insignificant portion of people to this type of information but instead of Trump, the ‘person’ people followed was Q for their direct news source after realizing hearing from one ‘unimpeachable’ source was good. I don’t know how to fix it, but we need to recognize that this failure is more widespread than just Trump and just some people.
I have never been so scared for my countries future as I have been since Trump took his seat as president. I thought at first that I should give this president a chance and maybe he would surprise me. No... nope. He is awful.
But you're white and I assume, christian... There's nothing to be worried about except if you had a bleeding heart and feel bad for muslim deportation, which is actually healthier for a nation.
I've been trying to find some news articles confirming that they did in fact air, but all I'm getting is articles from 1 to 2 days ago saying that they're scheduled to air. I so wish I could just take yours and Oliver's word for it, but I gotta see with my own eyes that it actually happened.

@avedic ouch, why you gotta do Burger King employees like that? 😂🤣😂
No sir.. my brothers died for your so called 'right' to vote.. you need to listen to more George Carlin
@avedic are you nuts?
This aired four years ago and the "what does he mean when he says words?" quote never fails to make air exit my nose.
Every once in a while I come back to this video and this sentence NEVER fails to make me feel better about myself. No matter how much I might have fucked up that day at work - no one can say about me: “what does she mean when she says words?” It’s a low bar to reach, but to me it’s worth something
I swear this is true: I had to consciously force myself to breathe or I'd literally die from laughing
"What does he mean when he says... words???"
I'm pretty sure the reporter said "words like xyz...", they pretty obviously cut the video there.
Those words also cause air to exit from me, but it isn't from my nose.
Better than snorting out coffee like the first time I heard that...
The greatest quote in the history of telejournalism; "What does Trump mean
when he says words?!"
And then there's alternative facts.
True it’s always up in the airheads like believe what you want.
Watching this after Alex Jones was penalized almost $50mil for sandy hook is cathartic
Really sad it took this long. 😢 and, he still has a "talk show" where he can spread his bs.
I thought it was closer to a billion.

@Cathy Huffman iui
Just ignore the trolls, best way to deal with them.
Four years later and it still feels like a bizarre dream brought about by watching 'Idiocracy' just before bed time.
Oh thank God... I thought when Trump was President..this was a movie, "Idiocracy Part II: The Bonespur Years"
I watched that movie and feel the same way.
Rewatching these old John Olivers makes me miss the old days when we could go outside and democracy wasn’t crumbling in front of us

"voting is a privilege in this country"
No lady, it's a right
No it's a privilege.
Prohibition was a right too. That was abolished.
There are some people who argue that voting should be considered a right. But it is not currently a positive right. States are banned from restricting voting based on race or sex and poll taxes but they are free to restrict voting for other reasons, especially because the Voting Rights Act is vaguely written.
So there is not a positive right to vote but there are now limits how the states can restrict voting, with slightly different rules for federal and state legislation.
It *should* be a right, but fascists keep trying to keep PoCs, people 18-20, and LGBTQ+ people from voting.
For a person who consistently mentions "fake news," Trump is someone who often uses these news articles as his primary sources...
yeah, well empty jars are easy to fill
But if course. His number one strategy is projection. Because it works. But only on Republicans. His base clearly don't study basic psychology. It's super frustrating that they continuously fall for such obvious manipulation...but con men always prey on the least educated people and for good reason.
I was about to write: in ten years there'll be millions of people feeling really stupid asking themselves "how could I fall for that" but then I realized that most people who ate it up to begin with will probably never realize they were wrong.

These shows are timeless.
There could be a weekly show just on Trump's daily lies.
You say that, but I am scared you are very right about that. The way things are going now, I fear this episode can be simply recycled 3 years from now.
Yes, when you say FACTS, they don't change with your moods or the govts.
This is true,four years of Trump actually raised my blood pressure and also caused anxiety. I'm back to normal now.

So what do we do now? They can't both be the biggest joke.
@Invader_Jim well those are all words. No logic in them but they are defiantly words. Like a trump speech, started somewhere and ended on another planet. He really was the biggest joke of all time.
@David Bland That's true, unless you actually talk to anyone at all. Trump was a global laughing stock.
It’s strangely comforting to hear John Oliver confirm how absurd this all is. It makes me feel sane again, if only for a moment. I know he doesn’t want to burn out his audience by covering Trump every week in his main segment, but I feel like we’re due for another one of these. I need some reassurance going into November.
4 years later and we’re still fighting reality
Watching this again in October 2020. I almost want to cry because all the shit hasn’t even started yet at this point. Sad to see how far we’ve fallen
...you had no idea...
Coming back to this video in 2022, watching Alex Jones getting sued into oblivion today, is so satisfying.
Came right to the comments to check.
It's funny how he's literally spelling out what trump is doing wrong and people don't get it
@Rohit Because why would he? Just because you don’t like Joe Biden does not create an equivalency where he is the same person as trump just with a different haircut and different positions. If it isn’t readily apparent to you why this is the case by this point then no amount of explanations from John Oliver (or anyone for that matter) will suffice.
@ChaosGamer u sound like trump
Rewatching this after the capitol riot has a very different impact
if only more people listened to this - everytime i watch this its still funny and also sad but true
It was nice to see how well the Alex Jones clip aged.
You have a good mind . I watch everything you have and it lifts my spirits ! Keep up the good work !
I heard the Alex Jones clips and thought “this has to be made as a joke” then I realized it was real… I’m very sad about the state of America
It worries me for the people who already suffer so much, Ross. Pray to God people wake up.
This British man knows more about American values than a lot of Americans for sure, and I'm dead serious.
My dad was from England and he was the same way. I see the true hypocrisy of American values vs American actions largely because of him
@KC Bowman yeah… from England
He's an American citizen.
@Jim M he's as American as a bald eagle dual wielding American flags, singing the national anthem.
I know this is a rly old comment but just had to reply cuz my late dad was & my uncle were/are from England and I have family in Canada too. People from other countries objectively see us as the sham we are. They can tell we are full of shit when we talk about what we are, because it’s still the American “dream”- it’s not real. As George Carlin he was so funny but also so wise), “You know why they call it the American Dream? Cuz you have to be asleep to believe it.”
I love John Oliver’s jokes and comments. And, oh my gosh! That’s a dirty SHAMED of Trump calling our VETERANS a SUCKERS! Guys we need to VOTE this election and we must VOTE this president OUT of the White House
You predicted it John, In May 2020 employment is at 41% and by watching the news it absolutely looks like the purge is happening 😔
Almost six years later, this has aged better than rudy's hair-wine.
Things felt so much more simple even 3 long years ago. Thank god he's going.
"Reality can be whatever I want"
-Donald Trump
🤣
Really appreciate your work, John. Please keep getting the truth out there and making a difference.
IgnisPhoenix
John Oliver is truly great,
watching this on 2020... terrifying, but so true.
I lol sooo badly with the "What does he mean when he says words?"... until i realized how scary that is
BTW John rocks!!!!!
I so love how John keeps it real.
These episodes should be shown in schools once every 5 years. They sadly sill hold up, and as predicted, it did get far worse.
I love this guy for spreading the truth. When I watch these episodes I am happy that someone has said it, but also mad at the world for being so, umm... uninformed.
This aged well because Alex jones is being sued for sandy hook
I went to a business expo where Trump was giving a speech on real estate back in the 90s... he was the most obvious crook I'd ever seen, he almost bailed because he didn't get enough applause. Trump's entire 30 minute speech was about being remorseless and how the weak and gullible are meant to be abused and exploited by the strong.
"Take em for what their worth, doesn't matter if it's an old lady trusting you with all her savings or a young married couple getting their first home... take them for everything or someone else will" ...That's the one line that always stood out to me.
Gray The Odd i
2 yrs later and still SOOOOOO relevant!Alternative facts, just amazing!🤪😎
Welcome back to another episode of me not knowing what to do during quarantine so I’m binge watching every episode of Last Week Tonight
Ditto. I have also followed up on all the subjects using at least 10 other sources that would be acceptable in a college-level essay. I may be broke, relatively alone but feel that I will be able to win any bar argument that comes up on these subjects. I just don't know when I'll be at a bar again.
This show just made my day . A great show .
3 years later and this is still hilarious
"If you don't know, don't be afraid to ask." That is the most important thing to do because it is the best way to learn things.
somehow, I always manage to underestimate how much I fucking love John Oliver. This man is a hero
Lol same I'm conservative, but not crazy conservative like mr orange wig man, and john Oliver still makes me laugh so fucking hard.
If John is a "Jack Wagon" Then i fear for what Trump is XD
You can't be serious..? This guy is a total Jack Wagon.
He's a British-American treasure, no doubt.
So seeing as the wiretap thing has been proven true.... how do you feel about this?
I have watched this over 51 times now ,..... I never do that ! It was funny when I first saw this ! It is true and even more funny today ! Thank you for making my life better in these very trying 412 years now !
watching this as Trump is literally asking the Supreme Court to give him the election just cause
Be glad it didn’t work
XD
I love this!!! So clever and funny. pay attention Donnie, you may learn something!!!
That sandy hook comment was so egregious. Imagine what the parents must have felt
You mean the actors who played the parents right?
You were so damn right, time showed us how his lies turned so many people believed him and turned up for January 6.
It is easy to fool a person than to convince him that he has been fooled.
K
you cant fool a fool , thats why they are fools.
*easier
wise words
LastWeekTonight should do this segment once again
Everything we worried about 4 years ago has come to fruition. :'(
This is one of the best episodes
Would love to see a deep dive on trumps pardons
Watching from the uk and loving it
Please help America we have no clue what's happening anymore- 😅
3 years later, this video still hasn’t aged a second.
@Liam .
@PokeyScorpion82 the irony isn't that Trump is still bad because if anything he's gotten worse the irony was the order of the comments
@Liam That's not irony, that's proof that Trump is still a dangerously ignorant narcissist even after most of his term has passed
@you_tha9191 Y what’s ironic is that your comment is directly after a comment that says the same thing but 2 years
"No, you haven't, Melissa!" 😂😂😂scared my cat when I laughed
Foreigners are watching this ongoing like a reality show. It has been great so far.
Trump is just validating the views of foreigners who think that the US is one of the dumbest countries in the world.. Only in the US there can be a high amount of people who don't believe in Evolution, don't believe in climate change, think guns make the country safer, vote Trump.. What the hell is wrong with you?
yes, im reading Trumps tweets because they make me laugh ^^
Fulgrim88 don't forget nuclear weapons, russia, the abuse of power from the white house, the pathological lying and the memes
But in all honesty we can't do anything when our government is controlled by threats made from the US a century ago. The reason our country is so underdeveloped is that, there is no denying those facts. Right now we should break the bonds, we should have no dependance from US, in fact they depend on us on a lot of things. But our government is so corrupt there is no way out of this hole besides a complete revolution and purge of the old people who are holding the youth from changing the country. That's why so many people leave Mexico, they have robbed them the opportunity to make a difference. All tied to an alliance with narcotrafic, a country within a country, with it's own independent economy. And whenever someone talks, like Luis Donaldo Colosio did in 1994 they get killed. Nothing has changed, they govern with fear and lies while living the good life, draining dry the people's money. That's our situatuon, only war can change our future, although there's no one strong enough. Numerous groups of selfdefense have appeared, later on the government "takes control" and replaces then with the army. Then they retreat the army and the narcotrafic wins again, the people is left without weapons and the cycle repeats itself.
This guy is 👍 could Watch him all day he’s great I laughed so hard keep up the good work
I hope you have an updated one of these this coming Sunday. Put the the final nail in Trump's re-election bid.
this whole segment is a great review of what we all should have seen coming
Just watched this again after the quarantine shows... I cannot get used to the audience laughter 😭
watching this today, 5 years later, after covid, 2020 election, jan 6.. insane we thought it couldn't possibly get any worse smfh
You have no idea how much I missed you, John Oliver!
"What does he mean when he says words?" 😂
diego torres I'd be losing my shit if I had his job.
"Is this real life?" would be a question I'd ask every minute I'm on the job.
Lizzy Doom That Reporter Was Having An Existential Crisis "What Does It Means To Report Something Anymore?!" He Asked XD
I would love to see an update of this, but also a huge provable list of crimes he can be prosecuted for, now that he's out of office.
Can we all agree that the educational cowboy at the end is a national treasure?
This never gets old
Today we learned that this nightmare is finally over!
Thanks heavens!
PS I can hardly remember how great it was - and will soon be again - to have normal, sane and decent people in the government...
Cannot wait!
What About 2016?
It's not over yet. As long as people listen to Trump he's not gone.
his father did raise him saying "you've got to be a killer donald." *donald during covid-19*: hold my beer
"I don't kid"
"Drink bleach".
"I was just kidding."
@Nicholas Bratland He can barely speak, of course we can't use his specific words, so we have to look at what his follower do, and in this case, they took bleach and horse dewormer
I make America great again.
Just kidding...
I ran America in ruin same as all my casinos and other business ventures.
Welcome to Trump world, pay upfront with your life savings or we take it without permission 🌍
He didn't say to drink bleach. He said to take it intravenously
L
“Prolly.... I’m starving 🚲 💩 “ is seriously the funniest joke in this ep. I think about it all the time.
U have a strange sense of humor lol
what do you mean when you say words
Loved every minute of ur show keep it up thanks..
One of the truly classic episodes of LWT. In fact, I always think of this one, every time I "cath!"
We saw how he acted about voters when he won, we should've realized what would happen when he lost
I like to be an optimist, but as I write this on the first anniversary of January 6th, we failed. We lost a not insignificant portion of people to this type of information but instead of Trump, the ‘person’ people followed was Q for their direct news source after realizing hearing from one ‘unimpeachable’ source was good. I don’t know how to fix it, but we need to recognize that this failure is more widespread than just Trump and just some people.
I have never been so scared for my countries future as I have been since Trump took his seat as president. I thought at first that I should give this president a chance and maybe he would surprise me. No... nope. He is awful.
But you're white and I assume, christian... There's nothing to be worried about except if you had a bleeding heart and feel bad for muslim deportation, which is actually healthier for a nation.
Sheesh, you sound like the GOP with Obama. Just chill until 2020
Well, on the upside your instincts are intact unlike those of the Trump voters.
Kathryn Sutherland it'll be okay. You got plenty of people handling a gun, just wait and..... BOOM
That was the BEST F**KING show that anyone has ever done! Well played! Well delivered! Cheers!
"What does he mean when he says words?" I'm doubled tf right now 😂💀
15:18 my instant response: “but I thought you didn’t trust the media?”
This actually telegraphs the hell we have been going through...
I can't believe we are facing this shitshow again.
Also, John is hilarious.
The ads aired. They fucking did. Now let's just see what Trump tweets about next.
I've been trying to find some news articles confirming that they did in fact air, but all I'm getting is articles from 1 to 2 days ago saying that they're scheduled to air.
I so wish I could just take yours and Oliver's word for it, but I gotta see with my own eyes that it actually happened.
OMG That's why I respect this dude. I was looking over the internet to find out whether he aired it or not. Thanks captain.
Ahaha really? I was curious about it. XD
Oh gosh, John ! We all knew it was going to turn bad.
But we didn’t know it could turn out this bad!!
Are you Homeless and starving sounds like it, maybe you should try job search so it wont be so bad for you..
He should have a recurring bit where he is in character as Johnny Trigger Warning.
Last Week Tonight use to be so hysterical. I miss those years. This was hysterical. even if it was deeply sad at the same time.
