John Oliver

That's a hard daily rhythm of your life to have taken away.

So that was the thing for me that was difficult because...

When you're doing stand-up, you can at least infer tone from a room.

Yeah, you can.

And I found it very hard to know what kind of jokes are going to feel remotely appropriate or are going to be wanted when CNN has a death count in the corner of the screen that's going up.

There's nothing to cue you for tone.

Do I want to be just an old man ranting about systemic problems in America?

Yeah, probably.

I'll probably be there.

And it doesn't have to be on television.

It can just be in the corner of an old people's home.

I'll just be gathering people over and saying, I need you to...

Listen to what I have to say about the Ugandan election coming up.

It'll just be like John Oliver in the corner.

People getting ready.

He's like, catheters.

He's like, you probably think it's just a thing that you wear inside your pants to help you pee.

Here we go.

And it's like, you know, everyone in the lounge is like, oh, what's John?

And someone's like, shut up.
