GENTLEMEN, HE'S THE HOST OF "LAST WEEK TONIGHT" ON HBO AND

A DELIGHTFUL HUMAN BEING.

PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW," MR. JOHN OLIVER!

JOHN OLIVER, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FROM YOUR INTEL STERILE ROOM.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE PROCESSING MICROCHIPS IN THERE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M BRINGING STRONG MIC TV FROM THE FIRST "CHARLIE AND THE

CHOCOLATE FACTORY" FILM ENERGY HERE.

>> Stephen: THAT IS VERY GOOD.

THIS IS YOUR 13th APPEARANCE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> WOW.

>> Stephen: LUCKY 13.

ONLY BERNIE SANDERS HAS APPEARED ON THE SHOW MORE THAN YOU.

>> THAT SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT.

>> Stephen: YOU'RE TIED WITH JOHN DICKERSON.

SO-- I DON'T KNOW-- >> WAIT, HOW IS JOHN DICKERSON

IN THE GROUP WITH THE THREE OF US?

I'LL TAKE SANDERS, SURE.

IT'S AN HONEST-- HOW IS JOHN DICKERSON APPEARING SO MUCH ON

YOUR SHOW, OTHER THAN THAT BEING-- RIGHT, IS THAT SINNER

GEE?

>> Stephen: IT'S CALLED CROSS-PLATFORM SYNERGY?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

>> THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

I LOVE IT?

>> CBS-PARAMOUNT.

PARAMOUNT-PLUS.DID YOU WATCH THE BOWL?

>> I DID, I DID WATCH IT, YEAH.

I WATCHED IT, YEAH.

>> Stephen: AND DID YOU HAVE ANY REACTION?

>> I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A BOLD TING TO DO IT DURING A

PANDEMIC, DEFINITELY.

I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE TEXT ME FROM ENGLAND JUST SAYING, "I

DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE GOING TO BE PEOPLE THERE WATCHING IT IN

THE STAND.

BUT THAT'S HAPPENING.

>> Stephen: 25,000 PEOPLE.

>> IT'S HAPPENING IN TAMPA IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.

THE BIG TAKEAWAY FROM ME AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS GOING IN--

I'M THE SAME AGE AS TOM BRADY.

>> Stephen: REALLY?

YOU'RE 43?

>> IT DOES NOT.

>> -- >> Stephen: MY GOODNESS.

I THOUGHT THE IRISH AGED QUICKLY.

COLLAGEN.

COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTS AND UP, ALWAYS UP, JOHN, UP.

( LAUGHTER ).

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE FALL INTO TWO CAMPS RIGHT?

THERE IS ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU TELL SOMEBODY AND THEY GO, "WOW,

YOU LOOK GREAT."

AND ANOTHER GROUP YOU TELL AND THEY GO, "OH, ( BLEEP )."

I THINK I'M IN CAMP TWO.

>> Stephen: A LITTLE BIT.

SO YOU SEE HIM OUT THERE.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: DOES HE INSPIRE YOU TO GO VEGAN OR ONLY DRINK

ALPINE WATER?

>> DRINK AN AMOUNT OF WATER THAT IS TECHNICALLY DROWNING EVERY

DAY?

NOT REALLY.

HONESTLY WHAT, HIT ME EVEN HARDER, AND I KNEW THIS-- I

FOUND OUT LAST YEAR-- I AM THE EXACT SAME AGE TO THE DAY AS

JOHN CEENA.

>> Stephen: WOW.

>> WE WERE BORN ON THE EXACT SAME DAY, EXACT SAME YEAR, TWO

BABIES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WHO VERY MUCH BIOLOGICALLY CHOSE

TO GO IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

>> Stephen: JOHN CEENA LOOKS LIKE TOM BRADY ATE JOHN OLIVER.

>> IT'S AMAZING.

I THINK OF JOHN CEENA EVERY BIRTHDAY NOW, SPECIFICALLY

THINKING, I'M NOT JUST ONE STEP CLOSER TO DEATH.

I'M ABOUT 20 STEPS CLOSER TO DEATH THAN HE IS.

>> Stephen: LET'S-- LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR LOVE, AND THAT IS

WHAT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD CALLS FOOTBALL.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: FOOTBALL.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: AND WHAT WE CALL SOCCER.

BEFORE WE GET INTO ACTUALLY THE WHYS AND THE WHEREVERS OF THE

GAME, AND YOUR FIRST LOVE, LIVERED POOL, LET'S TALK SNACKS.

WHO HAS BETTER GAME SNACKS, YOUR HOME COUNTRY, GREAT BRITAIN, OR

THE UNITED STATES?

LIKE WHAT-- WHAT GETS LAID OUT ON THE SPREAD AT HOME WHEN

YOU'RE WATCHING A FOOTBALL-- WHATEVER YOU CALL FOOTBALL?

>> WHEN WE'RE WATCHING OUR FOOTBALL, THE SPORT IS KIND OF

THE MAIN EVENT THERE, SO SNACKS AREN'T QUITE AS BIG A PART OF

IT.

SNACKS AND HALFTIME SHOWS AREN'T QUITE AS BIG A PART OF IT AS YOU

HAVE.

THERE'S NOT A KIND OF LOADED-- NO, YOU BASICALLY WATCH, AND IT

GETS YOUR FULL UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.

>> Stephen: SO YOU NEVER GET TO SEE MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY IN

2D.?

>> WE DON'T.

IF WE EVER GET TO EAT THERE'S A SAD HALF-PIE WE GET TO EAT.

>> Stephen: SOMETHING CALLED A PUDDING BUT IT'S HARD?

>> IT'S HEARTBREAKING.

THAT'S THE KIND OF FOOD YOU HAVE.

>> Stephen: AND YOU'RE THINKING-- THEY'RE CALLING IT A

MEAT PIE, BUT YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT MEAT THAT IS.

>> IT FEELS LIKE YOU ONLY NEED TWO PROPERTIES TO JUSTIFY

CALLING YOURSELF A MEAT PIE, AND I DON'T SEE EITHER OF THEM ON

DISPLAY HERE.

>> Stephen: IT'S MOSTLY FILTRATION ORGAN.

WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, EVERYBODY, BUT WHEN WE COME

BACK, I WILL ASK MR. OLIVER HIS THOUGHTS ON THE IMPEACHMENT THAT

STARTED THIS WEEK.
