Kids Pitch A New TV Show: 'Strangest Things: The Golden Mysteries'

[@rysun8709]

Stephen arguing with a six year old about The Beatles and losing.

[@trigunkwan]

I never knew I wanted or needed a John Oliver vs. Williem Dafoe rap battle until now.

[@nixiekin6367]

My new happy place

[@levoldunom]

Me too

[@FirstPersonNewf]

Oliver killed it. great bit.

[@spacenerd9499]

who knew all we need is love AND an Oliver - Dafoe Rap Battle

[@dbone3356]

EPICRAPBATTLESOFHISTORY!!!

[@bronzewolf6464]

Holy shit that kid knew so much about the Beatles. That was insane!!

[@spinalcrackerbox]

Indeed, and we'll forgive him for changing his answer what the best Beatles album is (it's the White Album, if you ask me).

[@pazz6708]

What a good job those parents did teaching him about the Beatles. Least I hope it was the parent's. By the way best album Abbey Road, White Album close second.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Brennan Sullivan Stephen is crazy. The kid is right. Rubber Soul is way better than Revolver. Also. That kid is amazing.

[@Sindollx666x]

Paz G You never know, with the internet these days he easily could've taught himself. When I was a little girl I lived for Def Leppard, I did my research via rock mags and mom took me to see them on the Hysteria tour in 1988. (She was a fan too, but I think I actually knew more about the members individually than she did) I was also obsessed with Ritchie Valens because of LaBamba. (I still adore Lou Diamond Phillips to this day coz of it. ) My hispanic grandmother who was both shocked and amazed that a 10 year old girl loved Valens & even knew who he was! She sat me down one day to discuss him, and what she told me blew my young mind: she grew up in the San Fernando Valley & told me she dated Ritchie' s cousin (who she said was super handsome and looked like Ritchie apparently. She told me stories about knowing his family & even going to their house. It was incredible. Anyways sorry for the derail there, but my point is kids who are passionate about something can be incredibly resourceful about researching their interests. 😀😉

[@communistjesus]

Brennan Sullivan "that was insane"

[@scn5530]

Hugh Laurie, John Oliver, Michael Shannon & David Tennant Vs. Willem Dafoe We need to have a full-length origin story prequel movie!!

[@sdgdhpmbp]

No joke, I'd pay money to see it.

[@coleenparsons4905]

Ditto!

[@batmanofsanantonio5331]

Sarat Chandran Nair THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

[@judithrodwin5566]

I'll watch it, over and over!

[@erisksc]

As long as the prequel explains how they are sent back in time and actually are the beatles... im in!

[@XinBiDe]

When the girl suggested they turn into penguins at night and one of boys just goes "oh my gosh..." lol Also, man that kid held his own in that conversation about the Beatles.

[@akinmytua4680]

Dash Galaxy as a kid who also was raised that way (I was born in 1990) I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. I also like rubber soul over revolver.

[@randimatsuzaki8461]

🤣 I love that you got America’s new favorite British guys to play America’s old favorite British guys.

[@ollis.1605]

For a sec I thought Michael Shannon was British too, had to check :D

[@randimatsuzaki8461]

Me too! 😅

[@artsiemama]

My daughter watched this clip and was genuinely disappointed to realize there was not going to be a real TV show

[@sharan0391]

I so want to see a Beatles biopic with Laurie, Oliver, Tennant and Shannon.

[@TheloniousCube]

That was my very first thought when it ended

[@SeanR1974]

"is this better?" pure passive-aggressive rage

[@DembaiVT]

Sean R he was trying so hard to be good. Poor little guy.

[@chinookvalley]

Sean R Gotta be one of the weirdest thumbnails I've seen.

[@TheDistortionVenegas]

The best part was Joshua talking about The Beatles

[@flowerpower3082]

The best part was Joshua talking knowledgeably about the Beatles. His grand parents taught him well.

[@superiorcatsociety]

Tyler already mastered the art of passive agressive comebacks at such a young age.

[@TyLittleTechGuy]

Meawbin Thank you. That’s me! 🙂🙂🙂

[@treehuggerkyle]

@@TyLittleTechGuy Dude is that seriously you? You’re my hero! 😂 I see you posted this 4 years ago, so you must be in junior high now. You got a bright future, kid!

[@brookeb452]

He’s been on another one of these, a Christmas one, and his ideas were fire!

[@brookeb452]

@@TyLittleTechGuy just saw this after I posted, you were in the Christmas one right? W the ‘seven-dollar smack down’?!

[@TyLittleTechGuy]

@@brookeb452 yep!

[@rockyroo10]

David Tennant, John Oliver and Hugh Laurie would probably be my favourite guest line-up

[@treehuggerkyle]

I like how you forgot about Michael Shannon just like everyone forgets about Ringo 😂

[@TheAguyer89]

John Oliver AND David Tenant!!! 😂😂

[@tabularasa0606]

And Hugh Laurie+Brooke Shields!

[@randimatsuzaki8461]

And Hugh Laurie!

[@ForsytheGaming]

This kid who can rattle off songs from random Beatles albums needs to be his own interview.

[@michaeloconnor5904]

I REALLY hope that Beatles kid wasn't scripted.

[@carschmn]

Michael O'Connor probably just has hipster parents who love the Beatles.

[@andrejohansen1073]

The whole time I was waiting for the real Jeff. Great ending.

[@TheVredeHunter]

Joshua is cooler than most adults

[@francissreckofabian01]

There is hope for the world when 8 year olds are aware of the Beatles.

[@snafuBMX420]

Additional hope when I see someone like you point that out ^_^

[@sithunyein2984]

They are bigger than Jesus.

[@kihntagious]

Si Thu Nyein as they should be! (How old are you?)

[@qhsperson]

At least the Beatles actually existed. There is that.

[@TheNewPatsyBailey]

+Francis ...if I may add my little story... I've been a nanny for twins for over 3 years now (they're 10 y/o today). Two days a week we have to drive for at least half an hour. We've always played the game where I introduce them to a new band or type of music/genre for the ride, and when we're home they can put them somewhere on their top 25 list (if they want to). The Beatles are no 1 on the list with one and no 2 with the other (Madness is his no 1 which is super funny to me as well)... and The Beatles were one of the first bands I've let them listen to. Isn't that nice? A catchy song is a catchy song I guess :)

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Oh my gosh! Yeah, John Oliver is a surprise, but you actually got _Hugh Laurie,_ too!

[@akinmytua4680]

lazyperfectionist1 and David Tennant

[@Ildskalli]

I never thought John Oliver could look worse than his usual self, but his McCartney impersonation is *terrible* :D Still love that guy and his show, though.

[@mullet188]

Don't forget about Michael

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Whose accent was SPOT ON XD

[@semi-sweet]

How is it a surprise when they're both in the thumbnail?

[@VeerleGroot]

THe fact of the matter is that i actually want to see this show, and now I feel i have been betrayed

[@chinookvalley]

Veerle Groot Don't give up yet. I'm waiting for "Season One"!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"You got a book you like, Joshua?" "A beetle book. _The Beetle: a Misunderstood Member of the Animal Kingdom."_

[@DelEngen]

I was hoping for Kafka

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"Who else should be in this movie?" "Jeff Daniels." What decade is this kid from? 🤷 Is he going to recommend Allan Sherman, next?

[@PhillyFrank1]

Allan Sherman -- ha ha ha! Yeah, that kid is an old soul, for sure.

[@ReachSkyla]

look at his hair, clearly the 80s.

[@seriousblakk]

Lol i knooo this kid has been here before. Like wtf 😂😂😂 . and all these kids are smart and very articulate . i gotta have kids man. They are just too damn hilarious. Like soo overly hype about everything and smart as hell but in a way still dumb like a Martian trying to fit in. Hahaha love it tho

[@IMSiegfried]

aa N, For real- I'm 10 years older than my sister so when she was about 5 years old I used to have her talk to my friends and I just for fun. She would crack us up! Listening to her express her train of thought was a blast.

[@Skankhunt42....]

That kid was awesome lol. I was thinking the same thing especially when he was the same kid who said Brooke Shields as well xD So 90's

[@MajiggerRose]

And yet no one has mentioned that they hired a real penguin.

[@ValerieJNorse]

But -- were any penguins harmed in the making of this trailer???

[@rjonboy7608]

In the midst of a world in hostile takeover by the forces of hostility, prejudice, and loathing it's nice to see the kids have some good old family values (peace, love, and understanding).

[@rebecca8525]

And the Beatles!

[@TheloniousCube]

What's so funny about that?

[@dillonclarke7161]

I stand with Tyler!

[@kombinatsiya6000]

i feel like tyler is 20 years ahead of the rest of the kids.

[@TyLittleTechGuy]

Thank you. That’s me! 🙂🙂🙂

[@xmlthegreat]

This is probably the funniest thing I have seen this year... Plus it has Hugh Laurie and the others... This is actual LOL material.

[@rysun8709]

Does Willem Defoe's costume have breasts

[@bgriffininsd]

I have to agree. I'm still sore from laughing.

[@skinnyjohnsen]

And Hugh Laurie is also a great musician. Not just a great actor. Search for him playing with Johnny Depp (Oh no, that was Paul McCartney and JD) and a bunch of other great guys in New Orleans. Great blues, here on KZbin; kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip_MgqWXhslkiqM

[@chillbaby5000]

Tyler is my favorite person 🤣😄

[@TyLittleTechGuy]

Jamie Town Thank you. That’s me! 🙂🙂🙂

[@chillbaby5000]

Ty Little Tech Guy you are super cool dude, always be you forever ok. 🙄

[@janine1216]

oh, i was worried abt u! Be good hun

[@qhsperson]

First, brilliant. Second, I want to be around when Joshua is grown up and doing whatever it is he'll be doing, because this kid is something special. Brooke Shields and Jeff Daniels? wtf?

[@pandorafox3944]

qhsperson Also, his knowledge of the Beatles was pretty stunning...

[@aelei]

He's an actor, and he starred in a simple favor

[@treehuggerkyle]

Yeah those were random choices for a child 🤔 😂

[@rysun8709]

Stephen lists creepy shows : Black Mirror, American Horror Story, Fox and friends. ...sounds accurate

[@Drhiggythered]

wow! Loved Joshua. His knowledge of Beatles songs was fantastic.

[@nicot9305]

"Annabel, what's creepy to you"? "My great grandmother". "Is she still alive?" "No. That's why." Who ya gonna call

[@henrikmygren]

These kids could probably pitch some more interesting ideas than hollywood these days^^

[@MichaelOPeake]

I hope Kathryn Hahn used this in her audition for WandaVision. Fan-freakin-tastic.

[@jabbermocky4520]

I haven't laughed this hard in YEARS! Please make "Strangest Things" a recurring segment on The Late Show. Do it for the kids! OK, do it for all of us. Pretty please.

[@danirabinowitz5049]

I want a Beatles biopic starring David Tennant, Michael Shannon, Hugh Laurie and John Oliver. I want it and I want it soon.

[@keisha2120]

WHERE WAS THE SECRET DRAWER??

[@Primusaur]

that's a good point and I hope they do an entire episode of Last Week Tonight on just that!

[@keisha2120]

Primusaur i was hoping to see it. 😂😂 cause that girl was so excited about it, kinda sucks her biggest suggestion didn't make the cut

[@Primusaur]

she got me excited for it with her energy.

[@keisha2120]

Primusaur yeah!! especially when she saw that Stephen got what she was saying. 😂 adorable

That kid's entire frame of reference is rooted in a 40 year old's childhood... And when he mentioned Jack Daniels, I understood why. "Shon.. Did I ever * hic * tell you about The Beatles? ".... Yes, Dad... and you showed me your album of press clippings of Brooke Shields." "Brooke Sheildsh? Let me tell you about..* hic * .. About Brooke Sheilds...."
