It really cannot be said enough how impressive these guys and gals are at keeping their shows going during Covid. Conan has been doing great, too. Compassionate comedians are just so good.
Stephen needs to stop going grey. It's making me feel old.
Though, I do wish that at least for as long as he doesn't have a studio audience, that his wife was in attendance nightly.
There's nothing more awesome than seeing Stephen's eyes light up when a joke goes over with his wife, and you can hear her laughing. Him getting the staff to laugh is also good, but when he gets his wife, it's just freaking adorable how much he enjoys that.
Due to the timing of the election call, John Oliver gets the first shot at a comedian election post-mortem (okay, SNL did a thing, and it was meh), and he does not disappoint:
Just saw the finale of Jon oliver. Loved the blowing up of the sign. I need to catch up on the season but all the corona virus episodes were just scaring /depressing me so I stayed away.
I'm going to miss the creepy stan Adam Driver jokes. I won't miss how fucked up 2020 was. Watching John Oliver blow up a giant 2020 sign is cathartic but awesome.

I was wondering if he was going to address blowing up 2016 and how it compares to 2020. I thought maybe he'd try to go bigger... he exceeded my expectations. That was a spectacular extravaganza of pyrotechnics. Well done!

I can't help but feel there was a duality to the Adam Driver thing. Like maybe there's some truth that it was making him uncomfortable, but also he was sporting enough to have the bit end on a more 'comical' note than a drama one.

John Oliver has talked about #metoo before. I almost wonder if they talked to Driver at some point over the season about the bit.

It wouldn't surprise me if they talked to Driver even before doing the bit.
Something I noticed last week, that I didn't pay attention to, but now I really love?
Colbert essentially censoring Trump's name when displaying it.
It's the smallest, pettiest thing, but given the reports that Trump won't read stuff that doesn't have his name in it, this probably bugs the shit out of him.
He slipped the other day and let a "Trump" out and I was a bit surprised they didn't edit it.
They've been getting a lot looser on editing. Seems like they are probably doing a number of takes for each bit, but every take is always a full bit. Like even if he fucks up the take part way through they keep going for the whole bit and just see if that's the take of that bit they want to put out. Like there's a bunch of instances of him wholesale fuckin up whatever he's trying to do but he sells it well so they just go with it.

I wanna say krazy glue is something everyone should have in their med kit.
I had an idiot at work once running around with his box cutter open and ran into me and gashed me across hand and wrist. I passed out almost immediately from blood loss, and wouldn't be here today had not my other coworker rushed and krazy glued it shut

It's been used medically for that purpose since the Vietnam War - there's even an FDA-approved variant which is stupidly expensive due to patents, but most cyanoacrylate glues work fine. Studies have shown that for most purposes they're superior to traditional sutures.

If you want something made for that purpose but are okay with something not FDA approved for use on humans you could use a product like 3M Vetbond. Sure the bottle says "not for use on humans" but it isn't like Krazy Glue is intended for that purpose, and it doesn't cost $Texas. Normal superglue can irritate skin.

John may have found a new replacement for his previous furry rat porn fixation. Though I'm sad that no one thought to draw Mr. Pringle with Ben Swolo pecs and his Sith pants cinched all the way up to his nipples, Dark Side style.

I think being the executive at HBO who has to sign off on whatever weirdness they're spending money on this week would be a great job.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
I imagine Last Week Tonight’s lawyers get stressed every time John opens his mouth.
It reminds me of an interview Colbert did on Letterman where he was talking about his superpac and how it all happened by accident. They just wanted the URL colbertpac.com as a joke, but then the network called.
"You just bought a political action committee website. Are you starting one?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because if you do, that could be trouble."
"Then I'm going to do that."

He talks about the bit here:
So Driver was in on it, but not from the beginning.
Anyone who gets mad at a double post for someone posting a TITKOSWNRN, needs to watch more TITKOSWNRN clips.

Or at least, at a quality that would make it into the show.
Pringles has picked up the gauntlet.

I bet the point person has a macro that auto-responds "you want to do WHAT" every time he contacts them.
The tweeter is the official corporate account of Pringles, a company that makes Crisps that the FDA says don't qualify to be labeled Potato Chips.
The content is a video of the Pringles man in his entirety. Someone at Pringles is good at PR. Your move, John Oliver.
I realized a long time ago that Pringles are potato paste shaped and dehydrated into chip form and I still love them.
