John Oliver is back and ready to take on some of the biggest stories and issues of 2025 with his own brand of news insight and comedy with Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 12 on HBO and Max.
Many late night programs offer their take on current events, notably ones like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Daily Show and Oliver’s HBO peer Real Time with Bill Maher, but few offer the same level of research and wacky comedy bits that Last Week Tonight delivers on a weekly basis. That is a large reason why the show has amassed 30 Emmys since its premiere in 2014, as well as other awards like the Peabody, Writer’s Guild Award, GLAAD Media Awards and more.
