  • Ah the old logo featuring the quitter is back. Nice touch, Chris.

    Speaking as someone who discovered The Bugle roughly 8 years ago and went through all the backlog available at the time, this has been the best Christmas Special of the year and, perhaps, of the decade.

    Honestly I’m glad to see how John’s return confirms that the Bugle is alive and well. I wouldn’t want to substitute him with all the regulars since he left. I’m happy to see John and Andy together, it’s a lovely moment in this audio newspaper’s history. And it would be amazing if he could appear slightly more often than once every half a decade. But really, i love where the Bugle is at. I think it has become better.

    IT'S JOHNNY SHOWBIZ HIMSELF!!!!
  • @merkin3k
    Technically, John is now officially "The American", and as such, should have recorded the entire show while riding a Jet Ski.
  • @onytay75
    John whipping out his accent in front of his friends is the best

    I never heard of the Bugle. I love John Oliver. This ended up in my feed. I'm thankful. Watching on Christmas Eve and enjoying myself.
  • @laryns
    the first time we get to See john's reaction to a pun run...thank you Chris 😖
  • @timasendorf2920
    I love Nato, Anuvab, Tiff and all the others on the Bugle, especially Alice and Nish, but the chemistry between these two is unbeatable.
  • @Fuzhelmet
    I'd really missed John enduring a pun run. Thanks for this.
  • John you will be pleased to know we actually have Spready Mercury here in Wiltshire working hard with Usain Salt, Arnold Schwartzegritter and the Grittersaurus to name just a few...!
  • @itzron22
    I see John Oliver, I click. Haven't been disappointed yet
  • @isabelgisb5630
    How to make John Oliver laugh: an entire segment of puns Referring to frogs as "copulating Kermits"✔️
  • @Bhattman07
    I like this co-host, he's like a white Nish Kumar... Hopefully he'll join the regular rotation and take a bit of the workload from Alice.
  • @el6487
    this is like a one hour Last Week Tonight. A Christmas gift for all.
  • @10kreviews2020
    John Oliver is among America's most prized citizens... challenge me.
  • @mchawk315
    3:54 seems like a missed opportunity not to call one of those snow plows Wayne Gritzky.

    2020 is rubbish but the existence of this video is great...you win some you lose some I guess
