Montclair Film Festival presents “Wow, That Was Weird: A Post-Election Evening With Stephen Colbert and John Oliver”

Join Stephen Colbert (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and John Oliver (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) at The Montclair Film Festival’s annual benefit – a hilarious exchange on everything from their comic influences to the past political season.

Wow, That Was Weird: A Post-Election Evening with Stephen Colbert and John Oliver features the pair onstage, having fun over the November election, which will have ended.

Stephen Colbert is best known as the host, writer and exclusive producer of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS. His long-running Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning series The Colbert Report aired on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014 and was nominated for 40 Emmys, winning a total of six. The show was also twice honored with the prestigious Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting.

John Oliver is the Peabody Award-winning host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, now in its third season. On occasional breaks from the show, he returns to his first love of stand-up, performing at sold-out venues worldwide.

Previously, Oliver was correspondent, guest host and Emmy Award-winning writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He also co-writes and co-presents the hit satirical podcast The Bugle, and has hosted four seasons of John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show (Comedy Central). His other credits include a regular guest role on Community (NBC) and guest roles in The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers.

Proceeds from this event benefit The Montclair Film Festival, New Jersey’s leading film non-profit.
