>> Stephen: WE'RE BACK WITH JOHN
[7]
OLIVER, STAR OF "JOHN OLIVER IS
ON TV THIS WEEK."
[11]
JOHN OLIVER.
[13]
SO ENGLAND HAS THE PREMIERE
LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP OVER THERE,
[17]
AND OVER THE SUMMER, THEY HAD
THEIR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THAT
[21]
THE ALL WHOLE WORLD PLAYS IN,
RIGHT?
[23]
OR WAS IS THAT JUST IN-- IT WAS
JUST GREAT BRITAIN PLAYING EACH
[27]
OTHER?
[27]
>> THAT'S THE WORLD CUP.
[28]
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD
CUP THERE.
[30]
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
[30]
>> YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW.
[32]
>> Stephen: I'M TRYING TO BE
NICE.
[33]
I'M JUST TRYING TO BE NICE, MAN.
[34]
>> YOU KNOW SOMETHING --
>> Stephen: CROSS-PLATFORM
[39]
SYNERGY.
[40]
>> THEY DON'T KEEP YOU UP AT
NIGHT WE'RE GOING LIVE AFTER THE
[44]
WORLD CUP.
[45]
SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AND
MENTION BUDWEISER.
[48]
THEY DON'T SAY THAT TO YOU?
[49]
>> NOT YET.
[50]
BUT THANKS FOR GIVING THEM THE
IDEA.
[52]
WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS ON
PARAMOUNT-PLUS.
[56]
THAT'S ALL ANYONE IS TALKING
ABOUT.
[58]
THAT'S IT.
[60]
THAT'S THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION.
[62]
MOST OF MY MONOLOGUE TONIGHT WAS
ABOUT PARAMOUNT-PLUS.
[65]
OH, THE IMPEACHMENT.
[67]
LAST YEAR, YOU WERE HAPPY
BECAUSE YOUR SERIES DIDN'T START
[72]
UNTIL AFTER IMPEACHMENT WAS
OVER, RIGHT?
[74]
IT WAS OVER AT THIS POINT LAST
YEAR, SO YOU MISSED THE WHOLE
[78]
THING.
[79]
BUT NOW THEY CAME IN, THEY JUST
SNAGGED YOU AT THE END.
[81]
DID YOU WATCH ANY OF THE
PROCEEDINGS TODAY?
[84]
>> I'VE JUST-- I'VE JUST BEEN
CATCHING UP ON IT.
[87]
AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE NOTHING, RIGHT?
[89]
>> Stephen: RIGHT, IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE JUST
[92]
PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE OR
ARGUING OVER THE
[95]
CONSTITUTIONALITY-- SUPER CRY.
[96]
>> IT WAS A PERFECT ECHO OF THE
TRUMP PRESIDENCY-- SOMETHING
[99]
THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE NOTHING
IS MADE VERY MUCH SOMETHING.
[102]
I GATHER THAT THE FIRST LAWYER
ENGAGED IN THE KIND OF
[106]
FREE-STYLE BEAT POETRY FOR A
WHILE.
[109]
>> Stephen: I THOUGHT HE WAS
JUST TRYING TO RUN OUT THE
[111]
CLOCK.
[112]
HE WAS LIKE, "OKAY, I GOT TO DO
AT LEAST AN HOUR HERE.
[115]
YOU KNOW, THE ANCIENT GREEKS
WERE VERY...
[121]
GOOD WITH THE...
[124]
AND WHO CAN FORGET HOW THE
ROMANS DID IT."
[127]
>> MAYBE HE HAD A STAGE MANAGER
LIKE YOU'VE GOT MARK JUST
[131]
STANDING BEHIND THE CAMERA
GOING, "YOU HAVE TO GO.
[134]
YOU HAVE TO GO LONGER."
[135]
>> Stephen: WHAT PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW IS MY STAGE MANAGER IS YOUR
[138]
STAGE MANAGER.
[139]
BUT HE DOESN'T DO THIS FOR YOU,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE GUESTS.
[141]
>> YEAH,■ç THAT'S TRUE.
[143]
>> Stephen: RIGHT NOW, RIGHT
NOW, MARK IS GOING...
[146]
>> HE DOES THE OPPOSITE.
[147]
HE GOES LIKE THIS.
[149]
"GO FASTER.
[150]
GO FASTER.
[151]
GO FASTER."
[152]
LIKE A JOCKEY.
[153]
"GO, GO, GO.33
TALK FASTER."
[155]
>> Stephen: YOU'RE NOT THAT
SMALL.
[157]
YOU'RE NOT JOHN CEENA, BUT
YOU'RE NOT A JOCKEY.
[161]
HAVE SOME SELF-RESPECT.
[163]
>> NO, MARK IS THE JOCKEY.
[164]
I'M THE HORSE.
[165]
>> Stephen: OH, HE'S THE
JOCKEY.
[167]
>> HE'S THE JOCKEY.
[168]
>> Stephen: OKAY, SEASON
STARTS SUNDAY.
[170]
VALENTINE'S DAY.
[171]
>> YES.
[172]
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE--
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND YOUR SHOW
[174]
FOR A FIRST DATE?
[176]
>> I MEAN, I WOULD-- IT DEPENDS.
[178]
I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR A LAST
DATE.
[180]
THAT'S FOR SURE.
[183]
VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR
PEOPLE IN HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS.
[185]
IT'S ALSO FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF A
[188]
RELATIONSHIP.
[189]
AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S A
CLEANER WAY OUT OF A
[190]
RELATIONSHIP THAN SAYING, "LET'S
SIT DOWN AND ENJOY THE ROMANTIC
[195]
STYLINGS OF 'LAST WEEK TONIGHT'
ON HBO.
[198]
YOU WANT TO GET OUT?
[200]
I'LL GET YOU OUT."
[201]
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A
ROMANTIC SUBJECT THIS WEEK OR DO
[204]
YOU NOT KNOW YET?
[205]
IS IT STILL COOKING?
[206]
>> I LIKE TO THINK THAT EVERY--
EVERY SUBJECT WE TOUCH ON HAS A
[211]
KIND OF ROMANTIC TO IT, WOULD
YOU NOT AGREE WITH THAT?
[215]
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE.
[216]
>> THERE'S A KIND OF I THINK
SEXUAL TENSION CRACKLING THROUGH
[219]
ANY STORY THAT WE DO.
[220]
SO I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT-- I
HOPE THAT WILL BE PRESENT,
[224]
WHATEVER IT IS.
[225]
>> Stephen: I'LL TELL YOU
WHO-- I'LL TELL YOU WHO MIGHT
[226]
GET A LITTLE TURNED ON BY YOUR
SHOW IS ANYONE IN THE FURRY
[230]
COMMUNITY.
[230]
>> OH, RIGHT.
[232]
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU HAVE
QUITE FAMOUSLY-- LIKE, YOU DON'T
[234]
HAVE A LOT OF GUESTS.
[236]
>> ALMOST NONE.
[237]
>> Stephen: ALMOST NO GUESTS,
BUT YOU DO HAVE A LOT OF
[241]
MASCOTS.
[241]
>> YES.
[242]
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
[243]
WE HAVE THE SPACE GEKO.
[245]
JEFF THE DISEASED LUNG.
[247]
MR. NUTTER BUTTER AND HIS BARBER
SHOP SQUIRREL QUARTET.
[252]
AND QIONG.
[253]
AM I PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY?
[255]
>> YOU ARE.
[256]
>> Stephen: THESE LOOK
EXPENSIVE.
[258]
I-- I-- DO YOU MAKE THEM
YOURSELVES?
[260]
I MEAN, DOES YOUR SHOW-- I
ASSUME YOU DON'T SEW THEM.
[263]
>> NO, NO.
[266]
A MAGNIFICENT MASCOTT MAKER
CALLED BOB FLANAGAN MAKES THEM.
[271]
HE'S VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL.
[273]
AND HBO WILL NEVER FIND OUT HOW
MUCH THEY COST.
[275]
>> Stephen: WHERE DO YOU KEEP
THEM?
[277]
WHERE DO YOU KEEP THEM WHEN
YOU'RE NOT USING THEM?
[280]
I IMAGINE THE STORAGE COSTS ARE
CONSIDERABLE.
[282]
>> WE USED TO KEEP THEM IN OUR
OFFICES.
[284]
REMEMBER OFFICES, WHEN YOU WOULD
GATHER IN ONE BUILDING.
[288]
>> Stephen: WITH PEOPLE.
[289]
>> YEAH, THAT.
[290]
WE USED TO HAVE A ROOM WHERE WE
PUT ALL OF THEM.
[292]
BUT WE EVENTUALLY MOVED THEM
AFTER, LIKE, THE THIRD CHILD WHO
[295]
HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR OFFICE
KIND OF OPENED THE DOOR,
[299]
SCREAMED.
[300]
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PUPPETS AND
MASCOTTS WHEN■ç THEY'RE ANIMATED
[303]
ARE THE MOST MAGICAL THING ON
EARTH.
[308]
A DECAPITATED MASCOTT HANGING
FROM A HOOK IN A MEAT LOCKER IS
[312]
NOT SOMETHING A CHILD IS LIKELY
TO FORGET.
[315]
>> Stephen: THEY SMELL
FANTASTIC INSIDE.
[319]
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE
CONDITION ANY MASCOTT WORK BUT
[323]
THEY KEEP THE JUICES IN.
[324]
>> THERE IS SOMETHING TRULY
MAGIC.
[328]
I LOVED THE MUPPETS -- YOU KNOW
TIM CARAVEL.
[331]
>> Stephen: YES.
[332]
>> TIM CARAVEL, WE'RE MASSIVE,
MASSIVE FANS OF THE MUPPETS.
[336]
I THINK WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS
MAKE OUR VERSION OF "THE MUPPET
[342]
SHOW."
[342]
>> Stephen: WHO ARE YOU?
[343]
IF YOU'RE A MUPPET, ARE YOU
KERMIT?
[345]
WHO ARE YOU?
[348]
>> IAM NOT SO SELF-CONFIDENT TO
BE KERMIT.
[353]
I LIKED ROLF.
[355]
HE DOES GOOD, TAKES THE CAMERA.
[357]
HE WOULD GET A LAUGH ANY TIME HE
DID THAT.
[359]
I LIKED THE SWEDISH CHEF,
NATURALLY FUNNY.
[362]
>> Stephen: HEY, I HAVE A
TRIVIA THING.
[364]
WHAT IS UNUSUAL ABOUT THE
SWEDISH CHEF'S HANDS?
[368]
>> WHAT?
[369]
>> Stephen: THEY'RE THE ONLY--
HE'S THE ONLY MUPPET WITH HUMAN
[374]
HANDS.
[375]
THEY'RE ACTUALLY-- JIM HENCEN IS
THE SWEDISH CHEF, OR WAS THE
[380]
SWEDISH CHEF, AND FRANK OZ WAS
THE HANDS.
[384]
AND I WAS TALKING WITH FRANK
ABOUT THIS.
[386]
AND HE SAID THEY HAD ACTUALLY
DONE IT FOR, LIKE, A MONTH
[390]
BEFORE THEY WENT, "HOLY COW!
[392]
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
[394]
WE FORGOT TO GIVE HIM HANDS."
[396]
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
[398]
>> Stephen: YEAH, IS THAT THE
SWEDISH CHEF.
[402]
I THINK IT IS.
[404]
IT'S THE SWEDISH CHEF HAS HUMAN
HANDS.
[406]
AND IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE.
[407]
>> THOSE TWO WERE INCREDIBLE.
[409]
HAVE YOU SEEN THE-- THAT CAMERA
TEST OF THEM JUST TESTING OUT
[412]
THE CAMERAS, WHEN YOU'VE GOT
FRANK OZ AND JIM HENSON, TESTIN
[418]
THE CAMERAS FULL DEEP IN
CHARACTER.
[421]
DANIEL DAY LEWIS ON MUPPETS.
[423]
INCREDIBLY FUNNY, CONSTANTLY IN
CHARACTER.
[426]
THE UTTER GREATNESS.
[428]
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE
ANOTHER BREAK, BUT WHEN WE
[430]
RETURN, WE WILL REVEAL WHAT
MUPPET JOHN OLIVER WOULD BE IF
[433]
JOHN OLIVER WERE A MUPPET.
[435]
THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE HIM.
