Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (often abridged as Last Week Tonight) is an American news satire late-night talk show hosted by comedian John Oliver. The half-hour-long show premiered in the end of April 2014 on HBO and currently has new episodes released simultaneously on the network and HBO Max. Last Week Tonight shares some similarities with Comedy Central's The Daily Show (where Oliver previously served as a correspondent and fill-in host), as the show takes a satirical look at news, politics and current events, but on a weekly basis.

The show has been repeatedly renewed, and is currently contracted for through the 2026 season.
