John Oliver Explains How He Pulled Off an Edward Snowden Interview

We didn't tell HBO... That explains a lot.

Its objectively stupid. - John Oliver 2016.

[PeanutsAssorted]

I don't know what's more badass. John Oliver going to Russia without telling HBO, or HBO going "Oh, OK" and not giving a shit and still letting him air the interview. Both are objectively amazing

[Lynhenoikhe]

Does anyone else feel weird when a host of a show gets interviewed in another show?

[Jasondfilms]

Greatest sentence I think I've ever heard. " I did not ask for a four foot wooden penis, I cannot stress that enough" LOL

[TranWhere]

I can't wait until John is back! :)

[claiminglight]

"You do crazy things like that with not- I mean not crazy things but just its sehe- it is a little crazy its its but I no I do i do enjoy it but ah bu uh heh its just insane when they - but not even insane like i just can't even think it it's possible.

an infantile understanding of international diplomacy should be one of Trump's headlines after becoming prez

[mattschumacher]

John Oliver makes Jimmy Fallon look like a little kid reading script. Why is Fallon the most famous host? He is very talented but he doesn't have the comedic presence that is needed for a host

[notSavant]

Why do I feel like Jimmy Fallon doesnt even bother preparing the interviews?

[bibekgautam]

That's a great talk coming from a man with spiders for his hands.

[beckwilde]

All hail Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption Church

[zacefronissohot]

That whole church episode was amazing. I loved how he always refers to the church he made in his episodes.

[feliciaroyers]

"It is objectively stupid."
Story of my life

[jackgreen]

'That is less legally safe to be honest.' hahaha, John Oliver is a legend

[RwikKumarDutta]

And i am pretty sure John, the people of the nation cant thank you and your team enough for taking that daredevil step to get that interview from Edward Snowden!

[jessmcrawford]

John is so much better than Jimmy that Jimmy can't even describe Last Week Tonight and trips all over his words.
