John Oliver Responds to Ron DeSantis Calling Him Irrelevant - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

"How dare you use a recent and specific example?" That's literally John's whole job!

John Oliver rendering all attacks on him completely meaningless by being his own worst bully is his super power.

[BrokeredHeart]

This is why you can't phase John - every insult you can hurl at him, he accepts it like he's already thought it of himself, or he applauds the creativity of the person insulting him. You can't bully or degrade someone who is already routinely disparaging of themselves.

[zachleary]

John's laughter is so sincere, a knee slap and all. And yeah, when DeSantis calls a zillion time Emmy winner irrelevant you know that's the most out of touch thing anyone could possibly say.

When a state governor calls you irrelevant, you know you're one of the most politically relevant people alive. Never change John!

[kazza]

Seth is great at interviews but watching him with people he really likes is a whole new level.

[hpnutever]

There are few things I love more than watching John laugh so hard at something that he can’t help but bounce around in his seat and smack the desk or his legs or anything else within reach. So pure.

My 86-year-old mother was unfamiliar with John Oliver until I showed her this clip, and now she is in love with his humor and can't stop talking about him... though she still having trouble remembering his name.

The fact that Ron Desantis tried to dismiss John Oliver says more about the impact John Oliver had on Desantis.

[ruelarila]

From Colbert to Meyers, John Oliver is the guest that always brings out the little kid in late night hosts. Always love seeing John get interviewed!

[BlackThoughtTheOverLord]

The last couple seconds of this video was absolutely hysterical. You could literally see Seth holding back laughter because he knew John was speaking truth 😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[jeanetteorosco]

John Oliver don't end your show. It is the most informative show we have. I have learned a lot about subjects we as Americans should know

[wespeakforthetrees]

I love John Oliver. Thank you Brits for sending him over here. He is a keeper!

[imperialthreat]

His reaction to the headline is so priceless. It cracks me up that he addressed the expert level British backhanded complement. So funny

[videt]

It's enraging that we only get like 10 minutes of these two together. The world needs an hour, minimum, of them hanging out and making each other laugh hysterically.

[HanaTheRussell]

Goddamn John throwing Seth under the bus about Shazam 😂

[aayushihemnani]

John and Seth together is powerhouse. If they ever retire they should just start a podcast together

[nsn]

When you make John laugh so hard he jumps up and down on his chair like a bunny rabbit, you've made it in life. #LifeGoals

[misterbeach]

I love watching John Oliver enjoying himself. It's like watching my son pulling off something incredible and then laughing hysterically about it.

[mjwemdee]

As an American-loving Brit, watching from the other side of the pond, I just loved that. A great conversation between two highly intelligent comedians and commentators.
