The Moment John Oliver Realized He Was An American

please stop calling it dis or misinformation! its just blatant lies!

"You're never going to see Donald Trump jogging." Thank God for small favors.

I read "A Kestrel for a Knave" in my English class in around 2006.

The Royal Wedding was an "excuse to day drink". Wait...British people need an excuse to day drink?

Wonderful episode! Great to hear about all of your experiences in emigrating and in life in general. Thank you!😊

My parents brought us to Australia in 1970 for 2 years. We stayed. In hindsight England was grim. Childhood was defined, proscribed and the sunny moments were few.

I really don't understand how the Electoral College system can overturn the votes of the people. It's such a gerrymandered system.

Who's jessica simpson??

I support the monarchy! No matter how embarrassing they are, we don't elect them. Good luck in Nov.

They never asked John if he ate any cats, dogs or pets😂

Ha! Why hold off? The fact that this election is 50/50 tells us how America is doing.😂😂 Good luck folks (whatever happens)

I'm an American born abroad both my parents grew up during the depression I have a shelf # and it has impossible and tedious for a white male with both parents American to convince one branch that yes this is real. Every branch hands it off to the other by saying you need a document from the other guy I have yet to get my passport im almost tested to get a Mexican passport.

Time to buy that '68 Dodge Challenger with a 440 Hemi. When you become American you are not selling out, you are buying in. Regardless of race, color, or creed.

You left off Aasif Mandvi, too, in your list of Daily Show alums. And Hasan Minhaj.

The INS agents are soooo powerful. When I was being processed through the immigration process at the age of 14, I witnessed an INS agent treat an immigrant very cruelly. I was going to speak up, but my father pressed on me to keep me down. He said to me that I absolutely could NOT challenge the INS agent, especially at that time. Looking back—Holy Crap—was he right. I just didn’t know any better. Big ego. Stupid teenager!!

So fun to hear you all natter.

Trump is trying to get the black men's vote. They should try to rent a room in a Trump hotel or apartment houses.

What’s going on with John’s lower lip?

LOVE IT- JOHN OLIVER, BEAST OF THE WEEK‼

Tin-Tin springs to mind.

43 found. Forty three what?

They can keep him as far as I am concerned. Don’t find him funny at all. Very obvious humour and that’s supposed to be clever.

Re: The old Daily show, It seems everyone got better as time went on (as in what approach would best display this topic; as opposed to now Jordan Klepper and the other white guy whose name I can't think of are 100% frat boy smarmy pricks, every time. Desi has gotten so much better.

What happened to the Royal Family? Prince CHuck/King Chuck has a butler who puts toothpaste on his toothbrush. Stripping that away would help a lot, if he had not had that for 70 years, you would have to find something else to show him/them reality. I love that his car runs on surplus english wine.

I wonder if Elon is going to be interned if Trump becomes president, I somehow doubt it despite he has way over stayed his visa.

Some of these comments were out of date, so just to set the record straight, the armed militia in NC really boiled down to a couple of people making threats online. When they actually arrived at the site and saw the situation, they realized they were misinformed and came back and pitched in help, but it was very scary for a while there. Also, we now know that those ridiculous vote counting laws in GA have been blocked by a judge and things are looking much better there. Watch Marc Elias/Democracy Docket for updates on these situations. I'm on the ground canvassing in both NC and SC and am very encouraged by how engaged people are and how well they understand the assignment, and that goes for every single person I've spoken with -- young white guys, Latina moms, older black people, etc.

🤟😷👍

I'm "entitled" to both a UK and Australian Passport due to birth, parents and citizenship.
Currently neither are worth their weight in shyte. Because.. politicians.
In the (alleged) words of a famous Aussie highwaymen or criminal, whatever.. "such is life"

"Humanity" has to drop this silly attachment to tribalism, to the confirmation bias that makes people vote the same way every time "just because".
Tribalism used to be a reasonable way to help you survive. A vestigial emotion no longer needed, except when you support a sports team.. maybe.

FFS wake up, neither "red" nor "blue" care about the average voter.
Republicans and Democrats both put forward the candidate that they want, that's loyal to their party, not you.
Your only "choice" is the lesser of two evils. None care about you or your electorate, only the "power" they get from being in a "team".
Every country that has a two party system in politics is struggling and failing, duopolies are never a good thing.

Came for John, left in love with his wife.

Sam Bee needs another show, or rather I need her to have another one. I miss Full Frontal.

Brilliant “All does turn to good “

Kamala will win

Who did the editing? Sheesh.

LOOOOVVVEEE John Oliver!

Because he wasn’t funny until he moved there. He’s an American tosser at heart.

Loved this!

"KES" still stands vivid in my memory. It is such a powerful, moving film of a working class boy in a depressed South Yorkshire community who finds true comfort, and love, through his relationship to a kestrel whom he rescued. Brilliant, authentically sad, and terribly insightful, the film truly lingers in memory.

John’s wife sounds amazing.

As a native of Georgia who voted for Kamala on the first day possible as part of our record early voting, keep in mind that what was passed was not a law but a rule by a 3 MAGA cabal on the 5 person election board that has now been overturned by a judge last week. Don’t trust the polls. Kamala is gonna win this…. I saw John doing stand-up years ago, and he was hilarious.

This was great. I know it wasn't the intention, but thanks for the laughs!

Immigrant not ex-pats . 1 out 10

If i am abroad and find another person from the uk, i AVOID!

Two Brits and a Canadian meet on Zoom…and try to figure out the absurdity of America 😂

Sam! I named my kid after you😂

The Royal family's main job is to save us from having to elect a figurehead president every few years. We have the great privilege of a representative Head of State with no executive power.

Great comment when John said that Britain had lost influence and felt that loss until the moment when Europe opened up. Consider what that means since 2016.....

We can do a hostage swap: we can give you Ben Elton in exchange for getting John Oliver back.

Samantha Bee makes so much of an effort to sound 'American', it becomes unbearable.
