Yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners. That's why I'm here now, because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me.

In America, our own young people are taking up a similarly passionate cause. Yes, America's youth have rallied around the noble flag of the new Star Wars movie. Episode one, The Fandom Menace. It is a period of nerdy anticipation. Teens with rebellious acne striking from hidden pores have begun their first battle against the evil galactic empire, boys who girls like.

85.117 - 88.26 John Oliver

Let's hear from someone who's taken up the cause. You da man, Yoda man.

89.284 - 101.807 Unknown Speaker

I'll see this movie most likely six times in one day. The very first showing being the midnight show, and after that the noon show, the 4 p.m. show, the 7 p.m. show, the 10 p.m. show, and the midnight show the next day.

104.088 - 126.693 John Oliver

He reportedly added, after that I'll go home, be treated for scabies, and bury my dog. In case you've been frozen in carbonite for the last six months, the new Star Wars movie, Episode I, The Phantom Menace, opens next Wednesday. We sent our own Vance DeGeneres to Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where fans have been waiting in line for six weeks.
