Chapter 2: Who is John Oliver and what was his experience on The Daily Show?

23.957 - 26.359 Unknown

Please welcome Mr. John Oliver.

44.311 - 46.822 John Oliver

All right, all right.

46.842 - 68.648 Unknown

We get it. Enough already. Enough. I agree with you more than I agree with them. Well, well, well, look who's come crawling back. Yes. We're all started. I know. It's pretty weird to be back. I do not like being in that guest room at all. Oh, really? That was the one room where I worked here you were not allowed to go in, and I don't like being in it now.

68.688 - 88.189 Unknown

It feels like I'm doing something wrong by being inside it. You never snuck in to see a guest? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And we were never allowed to really be in there because it had to be kept nice for the guests. And it never really occurred to me one day I might be that, and I still don't feel it. So I put my bag in there and then stood in the corridor for the rest of the day.

88.209 - 104.546 Unknown

I don't want to be in there at all. Yeah, but this place brings back so many memories. You were here. You were in this building. I was very much in this building. This was the reason I came to America. And I was here for eight years. Yeah, same.

104.566 - 104.946

Yeah. That's why...

105.533 - 125.411 Unknown

That's why I was so happy you came on, because people don't know by looking at us, but we actually have very similar backgrounds, because we both joined the show. I moved to America to do this show, just like you. And when I first joined the show, the Daily Show alumni network is so strong, I asked to meet up with Mr. Oliver. You came to the office. Mr. Oliver.

126.213 - 126.293

Wow.

127.184 - 147.051 Unknown

He was Mr. Oliver. I was like, there's no way this guy's going to let me meet up with him. And you were like, no, come before work. There's nothing I like more than talking to people who have questions about how to make field pieces. Yeah. Because it's such a narrow set of skills. Yes. And all of your questions were great. I remember you leaving and thinking, oh, you're going to be fine.

Chapter 3: What insights does Jimmy Kimmel share about his hosting journey?

1392.134 - 1407.619 Jimmy Kimmel

I won't touch that one, but that's good. No, that's not one you want to touch. It's more of his fingers are sliding down there. I don't know what happened there. This thing's going right to the museum. A lot of evidence there. This is really good. This is fantabulous. Thank you, thank you. Are you enjoying your show? Yes. It's super fun. It's a grind, but it's like whatever.

1407.639 - 1411.305 Jimmy Kimmel

It's like we get to have fun people on the show. It's just we have to work a lot.

1411.485 - 1434.412 Ronny Chieng

I called you. I called Jimmy. This was a while back. I could not contain myself. Do we have the picture of the event? This is a picture of Jimmy dressed as Neil Young, and he's singing next to Bruce Springsteen, dressed like 70s Bruce Springsteen. They're singing, what is it? Whip My Hair.
