As a seasoned gamer who has navigated countless virtual worlds and faced numerous challenges, I can relate to John Oliver’s sentiments as he prepares for the next chapter of his journey. The year 2024, much like a difficult boss level in a game, was genuinely tough and relentless.
As we approach the close of the 11th season of Last Week Tonight, our beloved host, John Oliver, shared his aspirations for a brighter 2025, having described the previous year as genuinely challenging.
During the episode of his HBO show on Sunday, Oliver highlighted some amusing tales and stunts he performed this season, such as getting a bakery to create a cake in his image. However, he acknowledged that due to eight separate main stories about the election, he had to focus on issues related to the election instead, which meant postponing more intriguing topics we wanted to explore.
In a post shared by someone on X, as mentioned by Oliver, Liev Schreiber was humorously said to have spilled an enormous jar of vodka sauce at a Whole Foods self-checkout, causing quite the mess. Oliver quipped, “We initially intended to spend 23 minutes on this topic, but we had to reconsider and focus instead on an episode exploring all the potential strategies Trump might employ if he lost the election, which unfortunately, did not happen.
To that end, he said he wanted to look forward to 2025 and shared his hopes for a better year.
In 2025, Oliver expressed a wish that Elon Musk jumps so high he never returns to earth. He also yearned for a day when the Wicked movie isn’t mentioned and in 2025, the final Mission: Impossible film concludes with Tom Cruise removing his mask to unveil Shelly Miscavige, who has been absent from public sight since 2007. This twist would be quite spectacular, he added.
Oliver requested everyone to “continue being uniquely quirky in enjoyable manners. Carry on creating peculiar sculptures, hosting unusual competitions, and selling odd trinkets at auctions. Simply stay true to yourselves and we’ll discover a common ground.
Still, he’s expecting to have to cover some “terrible shit” next year, which he expects to be “exhausting.”
He remarked that we might find solace in brief periods separating fresh disasters and turmoil. Perhaps, it’s wise to enjoy those moments of tranquility as much as possible. In essence, I suppose my point is: when turmoil becomes routine, we must value each moment we’ve navigated without a new insult to humanity. Each day free from incident, moving forward, should be treasured.
Next, the camera shifted focus towards an expansive “Days Since Last Incident” digital screen, where Oliver approached a massive reset button. He playfully suggested that this button might see frequent use in the upcoming year. In jest, he offered potential scenarios requiring its use: “Rudy Giuliani Takes Seat on the Supreme Court,” “State Secretary Unmasked as Putin with a Fake Mustache,” “U.S. Depletes Helium Reserves,” “All Aquariums Permanently Closed to Public.
That last one, he said, is “so confusing it feels OK to kind of just ignore it until you get the alert ‘Please Stay Inside; The sky Is Full of Sharks Now.’ Ohhhh, I get it. The helium from before. I’m not sure what the exact chain of events was, but the sky’s full of sharks now. It’s very bad. It makes sense. And, boom, we’ve got ourselves a big old reset.”
2024 marked the end of another fantastic year for Oliver’s shows, and I can hardly wait to jump back into the action when the series returns for its 12th season in February! The final episode left us on an optimistic note that promises great things to come.
He mentioned that we’ll still be around next year, ready to listen to both your tough times and your happy memories.
