Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (often abridged as Last Week Tonight ) is an American late-night talk and news satire tv set programme hosted by comedian John Oliver.[four] The half-hour-long testify premiered in April 2014 on HBO.[5] Concluding Calendar week Tonight shares some similarities with Comedy Central's The Daily Testify (where Oliver was previously featured as a correspondent and fill-in host), every bit the show takes a satirical look at news, politics and current events, but on a weekly basis.[4]

Oliver's initial contract with HBO was for two years with an option for extension.[half-dozen] In September 2020, HBO announced that the show had been renewed for iii additional seasons of 30 episodes each, keeping the prove on the air through 2023.[seven] The bear witness'due south 9th season premiered on Feb 20, 2022.

Product [edit]

Oliver described his preparations for the prove to an interviewer for The Wire: "... I basically have to sentry everything. The only thing I kind of scout for pleasure is Fareed Zakaria'southward show on Sundays ... That and lx Minutes I sentinel for pleasure, or perchance Frontline ... I take a TV on in my office all the fourth dimension and I'll generally flick effectually on that from CNN, Play a joke on, MSNBC, Bloomberg, CNBC, Al Jazeera ... I'g watching with a sure affair in mind and that is how to encounter a story told desperately."[8]

He said to another interviewer that he is concerned about dealing with old news:

If something happens on a Monday, realistically all the meat is going to be picked off that bone by the time it gets to us — in that location'southward probably barely a point in doing it ... I think we'll be attracted to some extent by stories that are off the grid ... Our show may end up skewing more international in terms of stories.[9]

Tim Carvell, executive producer of Concluding Week This night, explained in an interview how the bandage and crew bargain with a half hour of Oliver speaking without any commercial breaks.[10]

Structural considerations are leading to changes in the content in the prove that will inherently make information technology different from The Daily Bear witness ... Nosotros realized early on, you lot don't necessarily desire to hear anybody talk to y'all for a half an hour straight – fifty-fifty John, who is very mannerly – so we are constructing these little, produced one-act elements that will serve the function of commercial breaks throughout the show, which will allow us leave of the studio, go us abroad from John'south voice and break the prove up a bit.

Carvell also revealed that HBO gave them freedom in choosing guests for the testify, advising them not to feel obligated to feature celebrities.[10] When asked by an interviewer about "correspondents" such as those featured on The Daily Show, Oliver replied, "we're not going to be a parody news show, then no people pretending to be journalists."[11]

Later on the fifth episode of season vii,[ when? ] [ failed verification ] Oliver stated that the studio and the evidence's offices were shut down later on employees tested positive for COVID-19[ failed verification ] and that the testify would keep temporary hiatus.[12] The show returned on March 29, 2020, beingness filmed in Oliver's dwelling with no studio audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and produced largely by virtual advice.[13] [fourteen] [15]

Oliver has stated that he has "total creative freedom, including gratis rein to criticize corporations".

Format [edit]

Unlike The Daily Show, which followed recent news, Oliver tends to explore i concept in depth.

Filming takes place on Lord's day at 7pm.[sixteen]

The show's theme starts off every episode containing images relating to it or the earth at big with satirical captions written in canis familiaris Latin (e.thousand., a photo of a gun labelled "deus ex machina", a picture of Vladimir Putin labelled "POTUS Operandi", a photo of Oliver himself labelled "hostus mostus").[17] [18] Each episode contains a small handful of shorter segments, so one principal segment. While the brusque segments virtually always chronicle to recent news, the episode's primary segment unremarkably covers in length and detail a political issue, even if that effect did not accept news media attention during the preceding week.[xix] On occasion, the short segments are omitted and the principal segment takes up the entirety of the episode.[twenty] Some of the episodes will follow up the master segment with some other video compilation or news story. Oliver'southward speech is broken upward with video compilations of recent news clips, or recurring segments, into which Oliver segues with the slogan, "And now, this."[19] Oliver has also ended some segments with mock trailers for fictional TV shows or commercials that satirize the subject of his spoken communication.[ citation needed ]

Oliver injects sense of humor into his presentation, including satirical analogies, and allusions to popular civilization and celebrities.[21] [22] The testify includes a console in the upper-left corner that frequently displays a photograph or graphic for that accompanies bailiwick at hand, as a comedic aid.[23] [24] A full-screen graphic volition bear witness and play a video clip (such as excerpts from news show or documentaries) when Oliver is citing it.[25] He frequently coins hashtags related to his segment for apply in social media, some of which get viral.[26]

A recurring element of the show is Oliver's use of mascots. The mascots used in the show include Jeff the Diseased Lung in a Cowboy Hat, Hoots the NSA Owl, Taryn the Tinder Chicken, and the Last Calendar week This evening puppets.[27] Oliver told Vulture in Feb 2019 that "[Executive producer] Tim Carvell and I — I call up we've always seen the show equally our attempt to brand The Muppet Bear witness and failing to do and so. But occasionally, only occasionally, you get the kind of Muppet Show adoration in the ludicrous mascots."[28]

The show ofttimes features one or more celebrity guests in its segments to help Oliver better get his point on the week's topic across. Guests have featured in many dissimilar capacities including giving monologues direct to camera, existence interviewed past Oliver, playing musical numbers, participating in comedic skits with or without Oliver, or starring in fictitious parody PSAs. On the show, guests are sometimes seen in the Terminal Week This evening studio itself doing their part during the show'southward main taping, while at other times they are seen in video clips that were pre-recorded at a different location and later included in the testify. Oliver often interviews personalities who were straight involved in or impacted by the bug being discussed in the testify to get their first-hand experiences and viewpoints on the outcome. Some of the famous personalities Oliver has interviewed include Edward Snowden, the 14th Dalai Lama, Professor Anita Loma, Stephen Hawking, and Monica Lewinsky.

Hank Stuever of The Washington Post compared Oliver's program with The Daily Show several times in his review of Oliver'southward debut:

Another scathing, stick-it-to-'em critique of American mass media and politics shellacked in satire and delivered past a funny if near off-puttingly incredulous human with a British accent ... Exactly like The Daily Bear witness, the goal is to brand elected and appointed officials, as well as just near any corporate enterprise, look foolish and inept while slyly culling together television news clips that brand the media look equally inept at covering such evident truths.[47]

James Poniewozik of Fourth dimension similarly compared Last Week with The Daily Show, but as well wrote that the "full half-hour gives Oliver the room to exercise more," and praised Oliver'due south "sharper tone and his globalist, English language-outsider perspective," too every bit his "18-carat passion over his subjects." Poniewozik wrote that Oliver's debut was "a funny, confident start."[48]

The Amusement Weekly review began by ringing the same changes: "The fear with Last Week Tonight is that information technology'due south The Daily Show except once a week — a staggered timeline that would rob the basic news-punning format of its intrinsic topical dial ... The showtime episode of his HBO series didn't stray far from the [Jon] Stewart mothership, stylistically ..." However, the reviewer, Darren Franich, liked that Oliver has "a half-hr of television that is simultaneously tighter and more than ambitious, that the extra production time leads to sharper gags just too the ability to present more context" and thought that the debut had "plenty of funny throwaway lines." Franich appreciated Oliver'due south coverage of the 2014 Indian election, which the American press was largely ignoring,[49] and, like Poniewozik, praised Oliver's "passion."

David Haglund of Slate was clashing, writing that the prove is "obviously a work in progress" and that one segment "felt similar misplaced overkill," but besides that it is "good use of a weekly show, and it was funny to kick."[51] Gawker's Jordan Sargent claimed Last Calendar week This night was "the new Daily Show,"[52] while simultaneously criticizing the Daily Show for abandoning those "who take moved on from caring most Fox [News] and Republicans."

A number of commentators from mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times,[53] The Huffington Post,[54] Time,[55] and Associated Press,[56] accept described Oliver'due south style of reporting as journalism or even investigative journalism.
