Last Week Tonight

HBO’s John Oliver was greatly upset with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight for using a fictional family as his ideal of a swing voter. This family, known as the Baileys, is center-right-ish middle class, which for Oliver means that Democrats risk losing their left-wing base. To further attack Schumer, Oliver brought in actors Bobby Moynihan and Edi…

On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, HBO host John Oliver pointed the finger at two culprits for hunger in Gaza, and neither one of them was Hamas. According to Oliver, it is the U.S. that is “being complicit” in Israel’s campaign to starve Gazans and is unwilling to do anything about it.

HBO’s John Oliver was in a bit of a difficult position for Sunday’s edition of Last Week Tonight. The previous week he suggested that President Trump was on the verge of putting the country into the middle of another Middle East disaster, but that prediction didn’t come true, so he did the best thing he could: hope everyone forgot that he said he would have more to say about that and…

After some uncertainty Tuesday morning, it appears the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, which means that there were plenty of previously recorded anti-Trump hot takes from the late night comedy shows on Sunday and Monday that aged rather poorly.

Given recent plane crashes and the power outage at Newark Airport, HBO’s John Oliver decided to dedicate Sunday’s edition of Last Week Tonight to the state of air traffic control, where he turned back the clock to 1981 to declare former President Ronald Reagan to be the main villain.

HBO’s cheap rent-a-clown John Oliver — whose delivery is about as funny as a tax audit — made one of the dumbest attempts to excuse a George Soros-controlled radio station unmasking undercover ICE agents conducting operations in gang-infested San Jose, California.

During his hate session on the Alliance Defending Freedom on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, HBO’s John Oliver admitted out loud that he is confused by the concept of religious freedom. Oliver was not only clueless on the idea of “pre-political rights” but also seemed to think religious freedom means progressivism.

As the Trump administration moves to enforce immigration law, HBO’s John Oliver is not happy. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver claimed that the moves are “always cruel” and declared that Border Czar Tom Homan “can truly rot in hell” for his efforts. Meanwhile, on Monday, Oliver joined NBC’s Seth Meyers on Late Night to claim it is “morally terrible” for people to attempt…

For his Sunday show, HBO’s John Oliver decided to take a deep dive into the world of transgender sports. The Last Week Tonight host tried to concede that the issue is maybe more complicated than bathroom preference, but what he ultimately ended up doing was missing the point as he argued that even in famous examples of transgender athletes winning competitions, the stories are more…

Olivers abound on Sunday when former CNN media beat writer Oliver Darcy took to his media-industry newsletter to puff up late night comedian John Oliver. Darcy praised the effort and research Oliver and his team of producers at Last Week Tonight put into each episode. But one massive recent development for Oliver was the unaddressed gorilla in the room: the defamation suit against him…

Liberal media darling John Oliver and the production company behind his show, Last Week Tonight on CBS, were the recipients of a defamation complaint in the United States Southern District of New York, last Friday. The 23-page complaint alleged that Oliver and his producers “knowingly manipulated” the sworn testimony of Dr. Brian Morley, who was the medical director of Iowa’s Managed…

HBO’s John Oliver thinks Republicans are racists, and the fact that Republicans would vehemently reject the label doesn’t matter to him. However, on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver tried to claim that former Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protest leader Mahmoud Khalil isn’t anti-Semitic because Khalil claims he’s not and therefore the efforts to deport him are an attempt…
