John Oliver

So I cannot wait.

The only thing I like is when they play you off.

I love the feeling of being played off an awards ceremony.

So the music, I love it so much.

The thing that I just, it's just, it's such an absurd situation to have, to be interrupted by an orchestra.

It's just, I love it.

I don't like it.

I'm very conscious of the fact that because...

Because our show has become well-known, I am the face of that show.

And so there are things that you can do with that in terms of protecting your ability to say what you want, to not conform to a corporation that employs you.

Yeah, totally.

Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

So the value of it...

is extreme there.

That's the utility of fame, as you put it, is that you can do what you want in your show.

Everything else around it, it is not for me.

I don't have any kind of real connection to it at all.

you want people to love you but you want them to love you at your own terms or you want them to love what you do i would even say yeah but they have to love you because there's nothing else to distract them from you but it feels like it's two different like i was talking to this little girl in my um my kids my kids class

She's at my kid's school.

And she was, I think, at the start of a season, we had posters on the subway.
