John Oliver was hopeful that Windows5man would win Eurovision

John Oliver, the host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” shared his favorite performer from this year’s Eurovision Song Contest during a recent episode. The international music competition, known for its quirky and entertaining acts, crowned its latest winner over the weekend amidst various controversies.

Oliver highlighted the Finnish contestant known as Windows95man, who made a memorable entrance by performing his song “No Rules!” from inside a large denim-covered egg. The host praised the performer’s unique stage presence, which included flowing blonde locks, pervert glasses, and a Windows95-themed outfit.

Despite being ranked last by the jury during Finland’s contest to select its Eurovision representative, Windows95man won the audience vote by a significant margin, ultimately securing his spot in the competition. Oliver commended the Finnish audience for recognizing the performer’s star quality and stagecraft, which included shooting fireworks from denim shorts descending from the ceiling.

The host humorously declared his allegiance to Windows95man, stating, “Fuck all other music. It is dead to me now.” He even quoted lyrics from the performer’s song, emphasizing the message of living life on one’s own terms.

Although the outcome of the Eurovision Song Contest was not known at the time of the recording, it was revealed that Swiss performer Nemo emerged as the winner, with Windows95man finishing in 19th place. Despite the outcome, Oliver’s enthusiastic support for the eccentric Finnish artist added a touch of humor and entertainment to the show.
