John Oliver And Stephen Make Wax Presidents Fight To The Death

[@coralaisly]

I love that at some point someone from Colbert's crew had to make a phone call that eventually led to one of Oliver's people needing to figure out how to transport a wax president in July. Can we just appreciate that for a moment? Because that's a thing that happened. Someone had to ask themselves "How are we going to transport our life-size figurine of a long dead politician without melting him with the sun, so that two grown men may bicker about and through their respective effigies? This is my job. This is what I, a grown adult, do in order to pay my bills."

[@randomnickify]

EmileeArsenic nope, this things are from cheap plastic.

[@jordanhenry882]

Colbert probably set that up and made 2 wax figures. Why spend that much on a reefer unit for travel when you could make it close to home

[@D3thepeople]

I just read this in John Oliver's voice. Priceless. lol!

[@FIREDRAGON158]

I mean they are not that far from each other. Like a 5 min drive, or a 15 min walk.

[@Cartman4wesome]

Well they're both New York tho lol. But they did have to bring em from Gettysburg to New York when they were on auction.

Ashley Shale he was so giggly during the other segments too 😊 fun to watch!

[@bioniclegoblin6495]

Ashley Shale Whoever is responsible for making those chairs tough enough to endure being slapped repeatedly by an overgrown parrot in a business suit truly deserves a medal of honor.

[@hazukichanx408]

It's lovely to see how friendly rivalry can work. A few playful shots, a lot of laughing, and Stephen even pointed out when John was mocking the salary gap rather than the women affected by it.^^

[@sunrisky7557]

I was half expecting John Stewart to show up halfway through with his Wax Doll President :(

[@OriginalPiMan]

I was expecting him at the end with Franklin Pierce specifically.

[@Azaism]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Colbert originally wanted to have happen but Stewart wasn't interested or was just not available at the time.

[@zoidburg5844]

How do you 'half expect' something?!

[@jackashby6708]

they're probably trying to egg him into doing another bit with them

By expecting something while at the same time being sure it won't happen.

john oliver slapping his arm rest whilst laughing is the cutest thing i've seen in years

HBO basically just gives John a blank check and says “go ahead have fun”

[@Akaruan]

They should have made Jon Stewart crash that with his wax president

[@rosslynstandingwater4994]

Nauraka Effing Genius!!! I was laughing so hard and then thought it doesn't get better than this. But if Jon Stewart would have come on, THAT would have been the YAHTZEE right there!!! 😂😂😂

[@tori2dles]

Especially since he outbid Colbert for the prez Colbert really wanted. LOL.

[@kesonafyren837]

He and the other Colbert probably have it in their log cabin with them

[@ChocoLatteDX]

I'd love to see a tag team with John Oliver and LS Colbert versus Jon Stewart and TCR Colbert.

[@chey6073]

Nauraka you only only have so much greatness in one video. Too much and we wouldn't have gotten to the wax president fight

[@mikehunt-gg8so]

It's weird to think that this is probably the highpoint of two of America's former presidents legacies. Having wax figurines of themselves kissing on a late night talk show.

[@xzxzojkeymtzxzx7712]

It's so great to see John Oliver truly be happy and laughing when interacting with another host

[@taidghdecarne8155]

I don't watch Game of Thrones, but thanks for all the dragon money 💰 comedy funding. Appreciate it

[@saphirax8965]

Same. And for HBO to realise what worth John Oliver really has

[@The_RedVIII]

I would watch a one hour conversation between those two. That's a special they should do.

[@kwamewest9436]

Because they just regurgitate the same lame cuckery you crave.

[@cmeflywva]

I hope Jon Stewart comes on with his President and a bonus would be Rachel Maddow coming onto the show with hers. The interaction between these guys are priceless.

[@joshuascholar3220]

Wait, which president did Maddow get?

[@yegfreethinker]

Eisenhower

[@jessetorres8738]

The 3 guys could argue about which of their wax President was the best, then Maddow just rolls Eisenhower in and says "At least my guy got reelected" and the skit is over.

the fact that's it's a Colbert clip should be warning enough

[@armedwombat6816]

Oh, don't bash the conservatives. It's not their fault that their delicate feelings don't allow such contact with the big, bad world and they have to crawl back into their safe space full of guns, deer carcasses, and Jesus/Ronald Reagan slash porn. And maybe a dead hooker or two. You never know.

[@joshantony2782]

It's rather unkind to generalise a group just because some people have certain views that conflict with your own within those groups, that's what attributes to the divides you see today. I, myself, am a person that may not have the greatest tolerance towards the actions of others on any 'side' and can sometimes make statements without thinking first, I think it best to also try to acknowledge the 'wrongs' we have committed (coming from my assumptions towards the conversation). Words aren't just words they carry intention, though what we try to convey may not necessarily be completely be represented in this brief dialogue. As this is a jovial conversation these may not represent your personal thoughts, if so apologies are offered to those that are offended. You can just take this as a statement coming from a rather flippant person and ignore it.
