Former Daily Show host and correspondent John Oliver brings his persona to this new weekly news satire program.

This is such a great show, covers a wide variety of topics, and you CAN'T watch an episode without smiling or laughing at least once. smile I look forward to every single episode.

I love the witty and sometimes silly humor. To honor the current episode - this image is NOT showing a duck hunt big_smile :

Trigger warning: don't watch if you believe that Trump is the greatest president of all times.

I used to quite enjoy the show, but it has now turned into an endless tirade against about Bad Orange Man well over 50% of the time. I now find it tedious.

It's 25% at most. cool

The main part of each episode only very rarely has to do with Trump (and is availabe here: https://www.youtube.com/user/LastWeekTonight/videos ).

Watching it from the beginning. Loved the earlier seasons.

These last few season however I don't think there was a single episode where he didn't mention trump...getting kinda tired of that.
Even if the topic seems unrelated he still manages to make it all the way back to trumps policies - I get that many issues involve the president (especially this one) but c'mon even John Oliver must get tired of talking about him.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Oh, interesting... I fell way behind with episodes and don't remember Trump being so present.

Haha, I see what you did there 😏 Definitely not a duck hunt… not at all.

Totally agree with you though — this show has that perfect mix of clever and goofy humor that just works every time. It’s one of those rare ones where you go in expecting a quick laugh and end up grinning the whole episode. I’m the same way, always looking forward to the next one!
