'Daily Show's' John Oliver Yells at Steny Hoyer at the Democratic National Convention Comedy

Democratic National Convention 2012: The English comedian shows a preoccupation with Rep. Steny Hoyer.

[@rurutuM]

John Oliver is a comedian not a journalist. It is a sad day in America when Comedians does a better job informing the average Americans than "Journalists"

[@papanurgle8393]

Journalists are ridiculously subjective in their reports and involve personal opinions in the way they gather information. Not wanting to be mean to journalists but anyone CAN learn to be a journalists through correspondence.

[@truthcantbesilenced4533]

rurutu M Another problem is that you think ppl who read the news are somehow educated ina different way then anyone else on earth

[@R4Y2k]

Well, the US are more like a circus than an actual country nowadays, so I think he perfectly fits the scene.

[@jwxx-wm8fh]

rurutu M welcome to the "sad days" 😂

[@lolipedofin]

Well then it is a sad day.

[@taylabb]

"can you even make fun of that?" "uh yes" god i love John

[@ufotofu9]

Title should actually be "John Oliver makes ABC look like childish fools"

[@TommyT777]

If it didn't say "Democratic National Convention" at the bottom I would have thought it was a boxing match or something.

[@sierralvx]

Tom Trottier 'Steny Hower' does sound like a weird ring name as well.

[@scrilla7221]

he's about 50x more intelligent than both of them combined

[@peteradaniel]

Actually Amy Walt is a brilliant columnist. She's very intelligent and I think she gets the joke more than her co-presenter.

[@bothersomethoughts]

I do believe this video proves otherwise

[@dd-jm1md]

not sure I agree but he is more centered...

[@spewter]

He's not. It's just back clash of broadcasting intentions. Think of it as two different languages. News trying to talk to Comedy.

[@maciej214]

These two just don't get it. It's like talking to children.

[@jizunk_in_my_trizunk]

Those hosts are absolutely incredible at avoiding good points lol

[@edwardj.wilkowski5100]

"You really brought up a good point, as funny as that was" Welcome to the Daily Show, and the concept of satire.

[@StevenMSaco]

I laughed pretty loud at the joke John said at 4:14 however, I felt so embarrassed for the two journalists who didn't seem to understand the historical connection he had done. The woman said "that's a good point," and the guy ended up saying "this is the art of the transition." I don't want to be harsh on them because they probably didn't know their history but at the same time... I don't know,.

[@clairekim2525]

Meow ....they got the joke bruh.... It's not exactly some random obscure historical happening

[@anon7843]

Libs are as dumb as they come. It’s me from the future in 2024. You corrupt POSs.

[@kl8786]

John Oliver made brilliant fun of the 'trillion dollars 18 month long circus' of the presidential campaign in the USA. The hosts were too dull to get the points, as most corporate media staff need to be to get the job! He is a power tools of education under his comic belt, so he will be definitely more impact in the USA than he could in Europe. Great job JO.

[@stefanc4520]

Nothing is more cringey then a journalist telling a comedian "you're supposed to be funny so be funny"

[@jackgruber2147]

"I hope he smells delightful. He is the leader of the free world"

[@Skbeuker]

Wow, that woman is..... Too serious. Just laugh LOL John Oliver is amazing

[@derickson5418]

This might be the best of John Oliver! The comedic genius is so perfect at each turn when he laughs internally while the hosts attempt logic and humor.

[@willoliver8167]

Lol, the lady is so ridiculously serious.

[@ZacharyHage]

William Oliver I'll take it from another "Oliver."

[@wesleychase5423]

I think a comedian would be a great president. cause they will always point out the bullshit!

[@jpfidalgo7]

we found out in a very unfortunate and terrible way, but this aged very well...

[@kefahjaber6066]

I am cringing watching this.

[@Darkman3299]

"That was a good point"

[@RochelleLang]

That was one of the most excruciating interviews I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

[@perfolkesson7333]

I'm sure the intention wasn't to shred them but they just kept asking for it 😂

[@RandomGuy-ch7ur]

I'm sorry when does he "yell"

[@memorizingmemorias3653]

It's clickbait. If anything, the reporters were yelling at him.

[@TCt83067695]

5:15

[@matthewnunya6329]

Circus...so true Edit: They can't keep up or aren't ready for John.

[@jenelaina5665]

I broke at the debate over the word "Ambush". Dear Lord those interviewers are horrible.

[@Sara-iw1ee]

I hope I never have to be as serious as these two are.

[@christinetrzcinski4561]

+Sara H. they are americans...and they get paid a lot to be that brilliant.

[@memorizingmemorias3653]

*brainwashed

[@moonlily1]

His singing is actually not that bad. It's not very good, but it's not terrible either.

[@JamesonDunham]

its so cringy watching robots talk to a person

[@OngoingDiscovery]

watching painfully humourless ppl interect with a proffesional comedian is both hilarious and uncomfortable

[@emilytalerman3567]

Oof and now looked what happened. 2012 seems like political heaven now.

[@StrickerRei-Chn]

7:13 He freaking predicted the 2016 election would be a circus , 4 years before it.

[@newbooksmell4163]

"we've already talking about 2016" *sigh* How oblivious they were.

[@chrisharris8607]

But y'know what? Even comedy such as The Daily Show is, at this point, exponentially more accurate than Fox News.

[@JackVGallivan]

She seems like a nice person...

[@bobtheawasome]

Oooh they did not know what was coming in 2016

[@bridgetbinion8494]

This English guy is pretty funny. He needs his own show on HBO.

[@NerdboiisAfroMan]

On a channel that usually doesn't average far more than 300 views per video. You must be proud

[@AltruisticWarrior]

Sure the Daily Show is biased but they strive to make logical and valid thoughts that provoke more thinking on the issues which is the best news to me.

[@jackiesmith9531]

Jesus, JO is awesome

[@Tomarrak]

They said they were already preparing for 2016. HA~

[@joshualunn5793]

The live feed in the bottom makes me want to throw myself from the roof of ABC News' HQ.

[@ethanpkaiser]

Was that Bernie Sanders speaking in the background?

[@420marley69]

You don't need to comment the same thing twice to prove a point.

[@whaddup5417]

“Britain has very short elections.” Christ what an American sentence.

[@mistax2k]

It's the smart money that speculates.

[@RichJT87]

I don't know but she was clearly referring to the Daily Show team.

[@igunzOsick]

Show no doubt.

[@june057]

Yes we can but... we shouldn't

[@alfa1duetto]

Forword and Left Behind!

[@countchocula2169]

Warning: This video is at 1000 decibels

[@Gucangyo]

+Count chocula you need to go higher

[@Gucangyo]

+Count chocula higher

[@lovethieves1383]

7:07 They didn't get the joke or did get the joke but enjoy the money circulated in the billion dollar election industry to BUY, I mean to win Votes.

[@alfa1duetto]

Forword with Romney, the Great White Hope and Change!

[@ukstevey]

WEll thats not strictly true but it certainly is good at slamming fox - which isnt hard.

[@VCYT]

I saw some the jubilee on tv an the queen never got wet as the royal barge had a roof ! maybe john glasses don't work? she did though stand up for over 90 minutes when most people sat, which is amazing for a woman who was at the time, 85, an her husband 90 years old !

[@PorqueNoLosDos]

Was that Amy Walters?

[@angryproductions1]

I second that.

[@enzmondo]

John Oliver cannot sing but he was chosen to sing the Zazu songs

[@cheapshotninja]

Awesome

[@raybal57]

You all? Why do some yanks say that when they are referring to one person?

[@realWannaBeMLG]

360p really?

[@crt1477]

But!

[@jessedalton7716]

awkward

[@alfa1duetto]

Fine

[@TheWeegeeToast]

You're so hardcore, kid.

[@tomizzo11]

I love the Daily Show and I watch it every night. However, to say it's unbiased would be a lie.

[@jayaldexter]

Hey John Oliver, write something funny bro! That's what you do bro, be funny! You're friend was funny, can't tell you how funny, you better be funny too!! HAHAHAHAH!

[@EuphemisticallySpeaking]

The Daily Show is just as biased as the rest. The difference is they are funny about it. Human beings have opinions. Dry reporting of only the facts is very boring. Think C-Span.

[@mileskaye8621]

Yeah, it’s not a year and a half and doesn’t cost a trillion dollars.

[@whaddup5417]

You’re right it’s like two and a half and costs only hundreds of billions. Silly British man

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

Back and To The Left?

[@saifulisfree]

True that, but also last to get laid.

[@diegozas277]

When Jon Oliver didn't look like a lunatic.

[@bekahhill6852]

John was waaaay too nice to them. Ugh; newscasters suck!

[@elektrotehnik94]

8/10

[@TuanLe-yk3vb]

hakuna matata

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

Sure, whatever. I don't care.

[@IneffableLifestyle]

meh...
