In this Friday’s installment of our partnership with 5by, the video discovery platform (which now includes a messaging feature) that curates the web’s best viral videos, we take a look at the top five videos of the week from the platform’s TV category.
Trending this week on 5by’s TV channel are clips of debates, comedy and the resurfacing of unexpected ‘character.’ For more on the videos selected, Theo Tabah, 5by’s Head of Content:
The kings of controversy and old partners in crime, Jon Stewart and John Oliver, both had fantastic clips this week, Oliver released a bit on the absurdity of Columbus Day, and Jon Stewart put Bill O’Reilly in his place on the topic of ‘white privilege’. You can side with whomever you see fit, but John and Jon sure know how to make compelling arguments.
AdvertisementThe return of Shia Labeouf stirred up the social-sphere this week when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and recounted his story of his drunken arrest in a very laid-back, “I was never gone” type of way. And from a character standpoint, the return of SNL favorite ‘Stefon’ during the Weekend Update segment was a huge hit. Bill Hader clearly hasn’t lost his touch.
Finally, Jimmy Fallon teamed up with Brad Pitt to bring us a viral clip that involved break dancing and conversation in a very Fallonesque way, continuing to solidify The Tonight Show’s place in our top 5, and in the public’s eye, on a weekly basis.
