LEE'S FAQ!
Over the past nearly-two years, I've noticed that I get some questions about John's work asked repeatedly. That doesn't bother me - half of his prominent work is somewhat lost media, Tumblr's search is super fucked, and I always want to help anyone falling down the JO rabbit hole - but I realized that one central pinned post would be helpful! I'll keep this up to date as much as possible.
I know I have a lot of international followers, and if you have any knowledge of where to stream or find some of these items, please let me know and I'll update this post.
WHERE CAN I FIND...?
Anything really, I've just started going down this rabbit hole:
The John Oliver Masterlist is an incredible resource - while it hasn't been updated since about 2017 and has some broken links (especially in the LWT sections), it has functional links to every JO clip from The Daily Show, all the main segments of LWT through 2017, radio shows, and lots of other material. This was made by @johnoliverphotos and @ilovejohnoliver, and I'm eternally grateful for it.
The Department:
YouTuber Ben Jennings has the entire series on his channel.
Player FM has the series uploaded here as well.
The Bugle:
The Bugle Archive has all Times Online era episodes available to download. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE EPISODES DIRECTLY; DO NOT STREAM FROM THIS SITE.
The Bugle is starting to upload Times Online era episodes to their official channels, which can be found here. They're up to ep 75 as of Feb 2024.
All post-Times Online episodes (starting with episode 179) are available on The Bugle's official channels linked above.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:
Have you perused the John Oliver Masterlist above? This is the best way to find direct links to JO clips from The Daily Show on the Comedy Central website, because this shit is still not streaming anywhere else. Use a VPN if you're outside the US to view.
There are a small handful of TDS episodes available for purchase on Amazon Prime if you're in the US. I have no idea if any of them feature JO in any meaningful way - I will update this section once I review that.
Otherwise, you're gonna have to sail the high seas to watch this. I'm sorry that this is the state of the US' most important comedy show of the 2000s. Maybe Paramount will drop it on us when Stewart comes back to host TDS, who knows.
Community:
In the US, this can be streamed on Netflix and Hulu. Individual episodes can be purchased on YouTube, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime.
Worldwide, Community is available on Netflix.
Every season of Community is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show:
In the US, the whole show is on Paramount Plus and can be purchased through Amazon and Apple.
The godawful Comedy Central website has limited episodes for viewing. You'll need a US cable subscription to watch more than the first episode of every season, because of course you do.
Back catalog episodes of Last Week Tonight:
You can buy back catalog episodes on YouTube and Amazon in the US.
HBO Max no longer has back catalog episodes because capitalism is fucking ridiculous, I pay monthly for this service entirely for this show and I can't even watch old news from 5 years ago
YouTube has regularly purged the non-HBO uploads of Last Week Tonight in the past few years, unfortunately, so many previous channels that used to upload these bits are now gone or deleted.
The Horne Section:
The whole series is on Taskmaster Supermax+, which should work everywhere except the UK.
In the UK, you can stream this through Channel 4.
BLOG-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
How did you get into John Oliver?
I answered this in too much detail in two posts, here and here.
Where is your icon from?
I truly wish I knew, mystery questioner. I had a low quality version of it from my LJ days, and was only recently sent a high-res version from a follower who found it deep in Pinterest. Reverse image searches haven't worked at all. To the best of my knowledge, the photo was taken by Seth Olenick, but I have no clue why or what for. Any info would be really appreciated.
Is this blog a bit?/Do you really find this man attractive?
No, this is not an ironic bit, I really like John Oliver and find him genuinely hot. (Tbf, I get this question way more in person than online.)

loved that in the short film paul said it's *probably* the last beatles song because he's not ruling out being able to bring john back from the dead someday

"There are three types of people; alive, dead, and dead to me"

…not sure if the bots just ‘followed’ me.
Plus, I’m not “dead” yet.

1. the first one is 1x01 - Girl. surprisingly there’s a pilot episode of the same title in Endeavour. 
2. around 2013-2014 ish, before the start of the 2nd season of Endeavour
3. First, I kept coming back for Fred Thursday (during that time I was looking for a TV show involving Roger Allam after Cabin Pressure Season 4), but later on, I keep on coming back for the plot and for the entire cast. I was emotionally invested on that time, especially on the ending of Season 2.
I want to start a trend where people in the Endeavour fandom share their experiences with the show as we prepare for the final series to air. If anyone's interested, reblog and share:
the first episode you watched
when you watched it
why you kept coming back to this bananas show
I'm kind of toying with the idea of writing recaps/reminiscences of each series as I rewatch them before the series 9 premier, but here's the brief answers to my own questions:
the pilot episode
July 2012, when it aired in the US
... okay there's no brief answer to this one. Not for me, anyway. 🤣
