Here’s last night’s story about the upcoming presidential elections in Brazil, why Brazil is yet again in danger of being run by a dipshit named Bolsonaro, and whether or not an unreleased film called “Dark Horse” will win an Oscar. youtu.be/MIYCek92ICQ

This week’s main story is about the upcoming presidential election in Brazil, how a new member of the Bolsonaro family could wind up in power, and why we should all hope the people of Brazil avoid – to borrow a phrase – “same shit, new toilet.”

We’ve got a new episode tonight at 11pm on HBO! Airing right after a new episode of Youth! Yup, John and youth. Youth and John. Two things that go together like peanut butter and…a guy who looks like he’s allergic to peanut butter.

We’re back tonight at 11pm! After nearly a month off! You know what that means!! John’s been in the studio, alone, for several long weeks, waiting for his crew and audience to return. “But we saw him at the Emmys!” NO YOU DIDN’T! That was a paid impersonator WITH A BEARD. Open your god damn eyes.

Here’s last night’s story on why more companies are shifting to a subscription model and how it’s impacting consumers, plus Da Vinci Code spoilers. Ok, we can’t resist: It’s apple. The answer to the riddle is APPLE and Tom Hanks LIED about that being hard to figure out. youtu.be/Wko-2c7lZL8

This week’s main story is about why it seems like every company asks customers to sign up for a subscription, how those subscriptions can be intentionally difficult to get out of, and – of course – what Jeremy Renner might want to consider naming his next album.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO! Yup, perfectly on time, two weeks in a row! History books WILL remember John for starting the “punctual bitch” movement. On account of his remarkable timeliness, of course, and also because of his bitchy little glasses.

We’ve got a new episode tonight at 11pm on HBO! That’s right, we’re back on our punctual grind! We wake up early. We never hit snooze. We leave ourselves 15 mins of travel time on top of whatever Google Maps suggests, just in case. THIS is the new us. Until at least next week.

This week’s main story is about how the Department of Justice has changed since Trump took office for his second term, how their shifting priorities could impact us all, and why it’s so easy to indict a ham sandwich.

We’re back with a new episode tonight at 11pm on @HBOMax/11:30pm on @HBO! Why is there a time difference between streaming and linear platforms, you ask? Well, linear TV contains an interesting bit of technology called “dragon finale rerun.”

Here’s last night’s story about the tools police are using to surveil civilians, and – of course – how many Italians are possessed every year. Ok, guess. Don’t look it up. Just guess! You’re wrong, of course, but go ahead and guess. youtu.be/lnBPhelCdWE

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver @lastweektonight.com · 03/08/2026
This week’s main story is about how police use surveillance tools like cameras, microphones, license plate readers, “cell site simulators,” and the practice of “predictive policing,” to create a world that has been lovingly described as “Big Brother on steroids.” Full segment at the link in our bio.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11:15pm on HBO! Right after an 8-hour marathon of House of the Dragon, and right before another 3-hour block of House of the Dragon. That’s right, we’re the thinly sliced meat in the middle of a thick, thick dragon sandwich. Just how we like it. WHAT.

This week’s story is about Trump’s sprawling and ethically compromising cryptocurrency projects, how they’ve created massive conflicts of interest for the Trump administration, and why the pages of Trump’s bibles might be sticky. Ok fine, we think it was Craig.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11:15pm on HBO! And we need the extra 15 minutes to catch up on the past month’s worth of news, of course. So far it’s mostly just “blah blah, lettuce, feces, blah blah” so we think 15 mins should be enough time to do a full debrief.

This summer, John will appear in not one but TWO soap operas. And we would like to thank both General Hospital and Days of Our Lives for each doing something uniquely outlandish to his hair. Finally: John is hot. Photos courtesy of: Chris Bartolucci/ABC/Disney & Chris Haston/Days of our Lives.

This week’s story is about how, despite midterms being 4 months away, some of the biggest decisions that may decide election results already took place. All thanks to redrawing of congressional maps in key states, and a governor who sounds like Elmer Fudd. It’s not all on him, but he’s not helping.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11:15pm! We told House of the Dragon we would not stand for being bumped by even one minute this week. Then the dragons made some compelling points by looking at us with their beady dragon eyes, so we decided to compromise! 11:15 it is.

Here’s last night’s story about feral hogs, how they became one of the most destructive invasive species in America, and why their biggest problem is that they simply cannot stop fucking. We mean that. Scientifically, it’s an issue. youtu.be/pGazYSkFFMw

This week’s main story is about an unexpected foe: feral hogs. John discusses how, as cute as they may be, they are causing massive amounts of damage that has now spread to 36 states. And why, like with many things, we can at least partially blame Christopher Columbus.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11:30pm on HBO! 30 minutes late because, you guessed it! The dragons are back. We always get bumped by those winged little freaks. Do dragons have social media? If they do, we meant freaks like FREAK IT YOU BEAUTIFUL FIRE-BREATHING MIRACLES. Nice birdy birdy.

Here’s last night’s story about the upcoming elections in the U.K., how the race for prime minister hinges on 76,000 voters who live in a small area called Makerfield, and why the British mind can only hold 35% happiness at a time. That’s a fact. Seriously, look it up. youtu.be/RZL_TctrNco

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver @lastweektonight.com · 15/06/2026
This week’s main story is about next week’s election in the UK, why the 76,000 voters of Makerfield could determine who becomes the next prime minister of the UK, and John’s troubling online comments about lemurs. We are so sorry. He will do better.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO! Perfectly on time. Just like the Knicks’ historic win! Yup. Knicks in 5. As we’ve been saying since the very beginning. There was never any other number of games we chanted about. WHAT.

We’re back tonight at 11pm on @HBOmax! After 14 days of “vacation.” Or, as we like to call it, “the long, lonely fortnight forced upon us by our corporate overlords, during which a wedge of frigid isolation is driven between us and our one true love: the audience.” Tomato, toe-mah-toe, we’re back!

A huge thank you to Larry David, Alex Moffat, Victor Garber, James Monroe Iglehart, Megan Hilty and our entire cast of more honest vikings, for giving us a new and improved structured settlements jingle! Now you will never forget: factoring companies will bleed you till you're dead!

Here’s last night’s story about structured settlements designed to help victims of tragedy, the factoring companies trying to buy those settlements for pennies on the dollar, and why you should be careful not to put in writing “be careful what you put in writing.” youtu.be/LcrDC4ftXgM

This week’s main story is about the payments some people qualify for when tragedy strikes. That tragedy could be a physical injury, or sometimes it’s the wrongful death of a relative. Then, those people meet another tragedy: factoring companies trying to get their money. And a third: their jingles.

Tonight’s episode is streaming at 11pm on HBO Max! Or, you can turn on HBO at 11:23pm and accept the “John Oliver Challenge.” You watch the ep on live TV without pausing, looking at your phone, OR asking the person next to you “Wait, what did he say? Go back, go back.” Experts say it can’t be done!
