John Oliver Fought the Urge to Panic About Coronavirus Appearing in New York City- Late Night with Seth Meyers

I’m Australian. There is national shortage of toilet paper at the moment, because people are panicking about the virus. Why toilet paper? No one knows. But as long as you can still buy toilet paper in your country, you are not truly at ridiculous panic levels just yet.
sum1rllyspecial 😂😂😂
Same here in Germany. Italian pasta and toilet paper. Verry verrrry civilized… or just crazy 😎😅
It is a big product and very noticeable when it runs out. There’s a yuck factor associated with cleaning your bottom with water from the toilet.
It can be in sanitary and give you e-coli infections would you want to avoid.
It’s a security item.
I click on John Oliver notifications faster than the spreading of the Coronavirus
@micomator yes
same here 😀
Just remember to wash your hands after touching the like button. Damnit, that was a brilliant Joke and someone is going to streal it.
Not funny dumbass
326 k people have the John Oliver virus.
But only 8.5 k have liked so far…
That’s 2.6% of inflected.
Ok in the old picture of John, he looks like British John Denver. 😃
No. No, he doesn’t. Have you ever seen a picture of Denver? He had that pixie bob haircut his whole life.
Ugh ! That shirt !
Myriam Ickx: Right?!😃 Somehow u just KNOW that shirt’s polyester [violently shudders]
I freakin loved him on Mock The Week, that was the golden age of the show, all the regulars were still there, they had top quality guests and John was one of the best.
Too bad the rest of the country was laughing at twats like Micheal McIntyre and Lee Evans, our loss is America’s gain I guess
Yes and no. That was an amazing time for MTW. Frankie’s pedo obsession and painfully seeing David Mitchell trying to do improv stand up. yikes. You can tell he HATED it like John ! However, I have seen some McIntyre routines that killed…so funny. ‘Unnecessary names’…..As David said on BFQOTY , “I’m being paid to sit here and be sarcastic.” and he (and John) do it SOOOO well. 😂
@Brant Lambermont Ah that’s why Frankie was there lol, saying jokes that will disgist some people is literally his job. Yeah I agree Mitchell is much better on a panel show or in peep show lol.
All comes down to tatse I guess, as an ensemble Dara Andy Hugh and Russell are right up there with Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles and Wayne Brady, personally I find McIntyre unbelievably cheesy I can’t stand the bloke lol
@Paul Chatteris McIntyre is unimaginative and wet
John Oliver – “just don´t be an idiot”
Usa – ffs come on…!
Henke Ria more americaphobia from the left
@eagle PHD no, this was just a prejudiced joke.
you should know this if the PHD is true.
@Aisha Abdi
That’s not what you should be looking at. You should be looking at how benign the symptoms are, making everyone a potential carrier without even knowing it. What people fail to see is how it affects old people AND those with pre-exhisting respiratory conditions WHICH include a bad flu and the common cold. You may be safe right now, but when you get hit with the seasonal sniffles and just happen to breathe in particles sneezed by a guy who has nCov but doesn’t know it since his symptoms are similar to the cold (which, btw, nCov is just another strain of the common cold), you’re dead or worse: a dead man walking which in turn creates more future dead men around you.
EDIT: DON’T PANIC THOUGH. Another thing that’s not mentioned enough is how avoidable this is. You should be safe if you wear a proper medical mask (none of those cloth fashion mask bullshit) and practice basic hygiene, like bathing and washing your hands. With that said, avoid this year’s Comic Con. No one washes themselves there.
@eagle PHD
Americaphobia. HAHAHAHAHA! If anything, the world has The American Laughing Stock Syndrome. We’ll all die of laughter while you all die of incompetence. Stop being another clown in your circus of a country, loser.
@eagle PHD there’s nothing to suggest that comment came from the left.
In that old picture John looks like every 90s made for TV movie stereotypical computer nerd.
More like 70’s
He’s here to tell you about how Linux is the superior solution
He looked a lot better back then. I really don’t like this supershort haircut he’s had the last few years. Not flattering at all on him.
Liked for the Home Movies profile pic
’90s?
You know, I thought John Oliver and Stephen Colbert got along great, but he and Seth may be even better.
It was fun watching them have genuine banter. Wish more interviews were like this
Till he tied the bow on that interview lol
“we need a guest for thursday, oh i’ll just ask John to come back”
Mr. Oliver: “here’s a stock tip, NO!!!” lol
Stephen is exceptionally clever and has vast experience to draw from, but Seth has the quicker wit.
Dunno bout Trevor Noah but John Oliver AND Steven Colbert lauded US invading Venezuela so they’re both imperialist xenophobes in my book, albeit funny ones.
Was just watching old episodes of Mock the Week that had him in it. Back when we thought the worst US president was Bush, or that bird flu was gonna kill us. Simpler times.
The worst U.S. president was Woodrow Wilson
@James IDK nope, read up on Andrew Johnson, he set us so far back on civil rights, and we’re paying for his ignorance still today. He is by far the worst president we have had.
@SJVermaak https://youtu.be/PLW6hoUAUqQ
@Laurastar2009 my god i always forget that hugh dennis from 2020 looks exactly the same as he did in 2005, just with more facial hair.
@Jennifer Hugh Dennis is an immortal, he’s only grown the beard to throw us off.
If you’re old enough to remember Ben Elton from the same era they could be twins…
It might well be because I’m Finnish, or because I’d be quarantined with three smallish hyperactive kids, but my first hoarding/stocking up thought wasn’t “rice, pasta, canned food”, mine was “Wine. Liquor store.”
@dogboy1953 ooh, I’m already on uppers so that would be a tiny bit counterproductive. 😛
dogboy1953 Well surely the Salmiakki bars would be first. Mmmmm
@DrMossydog I wouldn’t know..all we have here that sprays out of the can is whipping cream.. been curious to try it out though. canned bread, spray cheese.. slices of spam..fried eggs, sandwich maker..
see where I’m going with this?
At least here in the US, we don’t get alcohol from China. So, there’s that.

Don’t lie to me that Mock the Week picture was actually taken in 1973 and John is just a time traveler
It’s more of a 1997 look, I think. There was a lot of hippie revival vibe going on in the 90s. Remember Madonna’s Ray of Light?
Edit: Mock The Week didn’t take of untill 2005. So much for my fashion sense (Or John Olivers)
Paisley is surprisingly popular among British TV comedians. Or maybe that’s just Paul Merton.
Everything from the UK looks like 1970s.
Why does young John Oliver look like all the beatles combined?
It’s what Americans must see all early 80s-00s British people like
@Cheryl Campbell David Koresh was pretty Beatles esque
He’s from around there…it must be in the water.
John Lennon and Steven Spielberg
Our dear Joliver is so giddy in this interview it’s infectious…
Maybe bad choice of words for the current environment
Are u recycling comments?
Weirdoooooo
The Costco in rural N. Georgia was sold out of toilet paper & paper towels. People have lost their collective minds.
In India they don’t use toilet paper. They use a cup (if they’re lucky enough to have a bathroom at all). So I know we can figure things out without toilet paper… eventually…
Better to have extra than wipe with pine cones * a few million people = empty shelves.
The freeze dried emergency food mostly sold out in days. Warehouses with 6 month supplies for the entire country, emptied out. Mountain House needed to pull its website down.
The government was late and forced Amazon to stop selling masks as the government couldn’t get any.
It is more likely that if millions in the USA are going to die from this, that it will start in October. All people know is that the mortality rate is 20x the flu, that it is spreading very fast, and the government is MIA.
@ThatOneGirl …. a cup?? My imagination fails me…..how on earth does that work?
They’ll get more stock in.
I live n Was state didn’t stock up on food yet but did grab about a month’s worth of toilet paper… Why because if we’re on lockdown I don’t want to have to wipe my bum with my husbands socks..
Btw, Jesus is almost here whoever’s reading pray up and get saved up..say no to the mark of the beast be strong friends…
John and Seth are even funnier together than when they‘re on their own, simply magical
It’s mostly unprompted nervous laughter. What are you talking about?
They’re both good as living punchlines and punching bags.
I love how normally hosts are like: “So this is your new book/a picture of you in … new film”, but Seth’s just like: “so I was scrolling through my youtube recommended yesterday…”
All hail the algorithm
What they didn’t mention is that when John was on that episode of Mock the week, they were talking about the Bird Flu and how the media were over playing it.
Isn’t “Mock the week” still the working title of John’s show? 😅
Cloud I thought it was Johnny O’s sad-tastical news and fish facts?
It’s a British panel show reviewing the past week’s news and whatnot.
To be fair, John’s “mobile home financing” episode was brilliant.
One of my favorite deep dives. I also enjoyed the one he did on psychics.
If I ever meet John Oliver, I will offer him a stock tip
