Adam was such a good sport during that video. It shows he's obviously not stuck-up and has a good sense of humor.
The rough taxi ultrascructurally try because moustache archaeologically support except a festive twig. unsuitable, cool case
Seth gets this head wiggle when he's so happy and it makes me so happy
i could watch these two comedy giants chat for hours.

"No one want's a *good* tree this year, do they? Do people want to live a lie?" John Oliver is amazing
The stormy kenya functionally hum because rainbow socially multiply vice a cultured soil. gigantic, long-term cherry
Adam Driver should have called in on this too.
I loved the Adam Driver bit, start to finish! Whoever the writer was, I'm a huge fan of their twisted mind.
The dimples on that Oliver boy...the dimples...
Wait Adam Driver is a bird too
dope or nope
The panoramic quiver consequentially entertain because sheet hisologically paddle per a sour oboe. closed, nutritious save
ladies and gentlemen this is called damage control
Loser/dork
I have the back story on the little owl they found in the tree. She'd been having trouble sleeping for a couple of weeks so she took half a Lunesta. This was too big a dose for such a small bird and she slept for several days. She woke up in NYC totally shocked to be there. Nah. Just kidding. ; - )
Our tree sucks and I love it. Charlie Brown trees all around
"no-one wants a good tree this year" Ok, Australia's officially on a different planet lol live Christmas trees have replaced toiletpaper here now & everyone's suddenly decided they want a real one & the panic buying is starting up, while the fake ones just sit in the stores unloved
I love this man with my whole heart.
I am SO happy to here the backstory behind this - it was VERY weird. I was really afraid that Adam Driver was gonna honestly upset - his performance was convincing in that I still don't know if he's legitimately gonna file a restraining order or something. Still, I love John Oliver (PLEASE don't come out as a crazy political racist, fingers crossed!!!)
The nutritious cd energetically ban because chime practically strap up a ajar delivery. outrageous, angry leg
Anyone who interviews John just basically laugh for the whole duration. What a doomsday delight
The beautiful dolphin hemodynamically snow because gladiolus antenatally camp notwithstanding a fanatical rubber. noiseless, gleaming laundry
The acidic bed feasibly hop because winter demographically scribble by a tasteful atom. abiding, hollow burglar
The aquatic cross conceptually joke because tyvek resultantly queue into a depressed beet. capricious, hypnotic art
I'm surprised neither of you mentioned the owl that was in the Rockefeller Center tree.
“Muffled killing spree music.” 💀
PERFECT DESCRIPTION of that non consensual cult music that americans get subjected to from November through January every year!!!!! Unless we can online shop -- WHEW! Online shopping has saved us!
Nice 👍 that white peoples beef differently....lol
Don't like the fake background laughter
I ship TF out of John & Adam Driver
John Oliver is just freaking adorable.
04:10 literally laughed out loud at this because this is what we do with our tree at home when we can't be bothered decorating the whole thing lmao
I actually like the adam driver bit a lot better knowing it was done out of spite
Hey I thought he left the blue void room
John Oliver looks like an English professor at a decent, but not very well known liberal arts school in Indiana.
They stole that tree from an owl. True story.
I love these two so hard.
John's "Adam Driver conclusion" was amazing! But Adam's commitment to delivering this conclusion was even better!
The perfect tree to ending this giant fucking turd of a year, 2020! Yes John you may borrow that sentiment.
Welcome to 2020 and United States citizenship, John Oliver. You're an indomitable force of nature and we need you.
Not want a good tree? Are you kidding? My husband did weeks of research to find the most glorious affordable artificial tree he could find and set it up before Thanksgiving (to make sure it was OK) and up it stayed! I drew the line at decorating it before now, but it is beautiful w/o any decor at all! No, this year, we needed the best.tree.ever!
John Oliver: So we have this weird, weird joke going on... Adam Driver: You son of a gun... I'm in.
He’s right-Adam Driver was mesmerizing
This reminds me of this xmas tree seller who tried to sell a really wispy tree to this nice couple one year. They were like ”I don’t know, it looks a little sparse” and the seller replied with ”No no, it’s a really nice tree! You can see the decorations through it!” #salesmanship
John Oliver, since Seth is taken lol, contact me for a date!! I just want to eat and laugh!!!
I don’t like it either. You’re so good. But it doesn’t feel funny.
As if I didnt like J.O. enough.... my god.... these segments... im dying.
Is it just me or do late nights hosts and guests look ten years younger since the election? 😉😷🇨🇦🇺🇸
Isn´t John Oliver that loser who dissed Bitcoin and EOS for 20 minutes 3 years ago ??? Bitcoin is close to a new all time high and EOS has a market cap of $3,027,081,868 today and yes it will be the next google. What a punch of brainfuckers.
They really should have done a Charlie Brown Christmas tree this year, I think everyone would have had a good, desperately needed, laugh
“It’s been a pleasure; I won’t see you soon” coming soon to a greeting card socially distanced near you.
I'm so happy to get the story behind the Adam Driver bit.
The Adam Driver thing was hilarious. I wish it could've gone on.
We know Adam somehow will be back; just like the Kimmel-Damon part
i loved every part of the bit
So many people hated the Adam Driver bit, but I ADORED it. I believe it encapsulated Driver’s sexy, disturbing, yet confusing, rage that he projected in the Star Wars movies. Could have watched another year of it, tbh.
Only the bitter Star Wars fans would say that. But the majority of people who watched it really liked Adam's part.
I love when Seth and Stephen Colbert interview John Oliver, he's always so gleeful and it's great to see them all joke back and forth
Seconded!
what a Buffon.
Oliver is just full of glee in that interview. It's almost like he can't control himself. He's really the best.
So much more cheerful since the election...like many global citizens?🤗🤗🤗😷😷😷🇨🇦🇺🇸
:-)))))
John Oliver has been an absolute beacon of joy in this terrible year of 2020.
Oh John, don't be humble, your acting at the bit was almost as good as Adam and I mean it.
This probably ain't gonna be popular, but here goes- Of course Seth likes the Adam Driver bit. He's the guy who was jamming that pic of the talking captain (among other lame running gags) on the quarantined version of his show. Yeah, even when he was getting neg feedback, he was like, "I'll show you," and wouldn't let up. So whether the audience likes it or not, what the F were we gonna do? Not watch the show, entirely? No. Both Seth and John Oliver are funny and informative, so I put up with the occasional crap. And John's explanation or defense of continuing to do it is based on the live audience's NEGATIVE reaction. So, John is saying, "Oh, you don't like it, watch this." But heck, it's their show(s). Some similarity- Frank Zappa (who I was/am a giant fan of) did something similar in live concerts, playing 5 notes from the song Louie Louie over and over again until the audience groaned. It was mean spirited and he was calling the audience (aaah, his fans, who paid money to see him) stupid. Sitting in the audience, I saw what was coming and thought, "Frank, in this case, you are not smarter than me." To see Seth and John so smug and happy about this? It makes me sad when people find satisfaction in annoying others.

JO: "Is it the tree we want? No." "Is it the tree we deserve? Absolutely!" Truer words never spoken.
It is.
Who else would watch a Seth Myers/John Oliver podcast
If you can explain to a senior boomer how to watch a podcast!🥺🥺🥺😷😷😷😷😷🇨🇦🇺🇸
Also good.
give me the bad tree back!! let's make history.
The tree did come with an owl.
nice one! can't wait for the next last week tonight! 🙂🤘🏿
Absolutely brilliant interview, Seth!
I love how genuinely Seth seems to enjoy talking to his guests. No other host feels like he means it so much when he says "it's great to see you."
Oh no, John Oliver got stuck again back to the white void
Great to have some off-season John Oliver!
@UCbWg5nV65R7qH9OCROZXAZw Will see how this 40 plus year in government service Biden has done very little to show the American people what he has done as a civil servant to better our lives. Will he fight for the American people or go an apologize to other countries like Obama did and made us depend on ther will to control our economy. Here i am no job no income lost everything. When China introduced this virus to the world whose to blame seriously. illegal immigrants have more benefits than me an american citizen and Veteran, sure shut down businesses close shops go on unemployment for 214.00 a week see how long that lasts. O wait if i work for the state or government or media that's control what they want you to here for there own self interest and political control of what i call payed salves the 90% of tax payer. But if your a government employee you still get payed whether you work or not very good insurance health dental the works not this Obama don't care or other types of plans they offer. Thats what think a US Citizen Veteran i fought for freedom. What have this governors mayor city officials who make up the laws as they see fit to control us. Maybe i should go and protest like this un-American get rid of our police open our borders to anyone even terrorist with more rights than i have to have what they seek totalitarian control. I don't believe in a government that want to controls us from birth to death . How is that president Trump has millions well i see we see his businesses all over the USA Trump plaza etc. As president he only expected one dollar a year for his salary. transparent. How is it that Biden has millions well i how his son got millions i can see how he made millions on a government job just about all career politicians are millionerds' no transparency. My dream to be a career politician to beat the system be above the law or be an actor an athlete almost the same thing. maybe in another life.
Gaining John as a fellow American was the only great thing that happened to the US in 2020, up until Nov. 3rd.
John Oliver is so awesome a national treasure and now he’s ours :)
I love both Seth and John so god damn much they can turn even the darkest of days into sunshine I love them and so hope they never change I couldn’t do it without them
Once again proof of how immigrants just make the country better.
"Yes, that's right. Is it the tree we want ? No. Is it the tree we deserve? Absolutely!" Jon Oliver, I love you! Thank you for blowing up 2020. You spoke for all of us.
John Oliver for POTUS

The Adam Driver bit made me happy all year.
I must have a deeply distrubed sense of humor. I loved the bit from day one. HAHAHA
John Oliver is an American treasure
Love that they doubled down on a bit people didn’t like. That is this era in a nutshell.

Seed, water, logs ... he’s talking about Adam, that gargantuan tree.
