John Oliver

60 human sections.

And I was all out of questions.

Is that why you just cut guests out of your show?

Yeah, it was.

We built a... Because you used to... Remember, you had a guest section.

Yes, because it felt like you were supposed to... Have a guest.

Have a guest.

That was all... The only thing I knew about...

America Late Night shows- You have to have a guest.

Anything can happen, but there has to be a guest.

There's got to be someone else.

And to their credit, HBO, after our two test shows that we did, just said, you know, you don't have to have someone.

You don't have to talk to anyone at the end if you want.

You can just like- Was it that bad?

One, I think it was that bad.

I think it genuinely was that bad.

And two, that changed everything for me.

Like, oh, I can have that six minutes and we can make the story longer.

Oh, I'll do that in a second.

And so that was the thing I'm massively grateful for, for them to kind of save me from myself because otherwise I absolutely felt like, and you have to have a guest every week.
