HBO’s John Oliver had a nearly 40-minute long meltdown on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight as he denounced Paramount CEO David Ellison’s decision to name Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News. Despite Weiss being a liberal who simply thinks the left has gone too far on things like DEI, transgenderism, and Israel, Oliver lamented that Ellison has inserted “right-leaning opinion journalism…

HBO’s John Oliver had two distinctly outrageous hot takes on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. First, Oliver called ICE operations that seek to enforce immigration laws “state-sanctioned kidnapping,” and later, during his deep dive into presidential libraries, claimed that former President Ronald Reagan is in hell.

On the latest Real Life with Bill Maher, the stridently atheist host said something surprising. “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches,” Maher said. "They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting…

For comedic reasons that only he can understand, HBO’s John Oliver devoted most of his time on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to covering the career of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During his lengthy diatribe, Oliver would also take aim at one of President Trump’s biggest first term accomplishments: the Abraham Accords. According to Oliver, the accords are to be diminished…

Before ABC announced it was lifting Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension on Monday, HBO’s John Oliver used Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to express not only his confusion about why people got so mad at Kimmel in the first place but also to claim Kimmel’s point about MAGA being “desperate to weaponize Kirk’s death” has “aged pretty well” given the suspension.

HBO’s Bill Maher attacked his former ABC bosses on Friday’s Real Time for suspending his replacement, Jimmy Kimmel. According to Maher, Kimmel was wrong in what he said, but he has a right to say it, and ABC’s suspension means the network stands for “Always Be Caving.” While Maher’s position may seem like a consistent and principled stand in favor of free speech, he got a couple key…

The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro took his book tour to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, where he and the eponymous host battled it out on whether it can be safely asserted that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a leftist. While Maher insisted that it is simply too soon to say because the internet is always full of crazy rumors, Shapiro countered that what we know…

According to HBO’s John Oliver, the Trump administration’s push to get anti-Semitism out of college campuses is just a ruse to exert control for its own sake. The Last Week Tonight host claimed on Sunday that Trump’s demands on Columbia University represented an “extreme degree of government intrusion” and that Columbia is now “the little birch university” for accepting them.

In the span of only two minutes, HBO’s Bill Maher unleashed a trio of hysterical and outrageous claims about President Trump’s utilization of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. First, he subtly implied the move was akin to a dictator like Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine, calling it “Page One Of The Dictator Handbook.” Then he doubled down on making fun of DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls”…

The following are just some of the most obnoxious outbursts by leftist journalists and celebrities from the month of August. 

One week after mocking DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine for getting assaulted during an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C., HBO’s Bill Maher claimed to discover the real reason for President Trump’s use of the National Guard in the city: to prevent Democrats from taking office should they win the next election. This time, however, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo was…

On Friday night's Real Time, HBO host Bill Maher called out Democrats like former Vice President Kamala Harris and Bill and Hillary Clinton for refusing to appear on his show despite the fact that he voted for them. Meanwhile, many Republicans have shown up and "they take their beating like a man."

HBO’s Bill Maher can seem like the most reasonable of the bunch of the liberal late night comedians because he is willing to ridicule the excesses of the left, but in mocking DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine on Friday’s Real Time for being assaulted, he crossed a line that even the others have dared not cross.

HBO Last Week Tonight host John Oliver recently joined Monica Lewinsky for her Tuesday Reclaiming podcast, and together the two came to an agreement that LWT is the kind of “good trouble” that holds powerful people accountable despite all the evidence to the contrary.
