Last Week Tonight With John Oliver - Season 6
Last Week Tonight is set to return on Feb. 17, back in its 11 p.m. Sunday night timeslot. With 2020 election campaigning just starting to ramp up in earnest, this is poised to be an exciting year for the show. Cory Booker, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren are just a few of the star democrats who have already announced their presidential campaigns, according to the New York Times, and more will follow in the next few months. So in addition to keeping viewers apprised of Stupid Watergate, Oliver is likely to spend some time roasting the most embarrassing campaign stunts of the week (remember student loan emojis?) and offering deep dives into the various moving parts of campaigning. The last few election cycles have come with brutally long campaign seasons, and tuning in for Oliver's dunks on the esteemed candidates often feels like the only way to survive the week in political news.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - Season 6
New episodes of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver are on the way. HBO has announced the February 19th premiere date of season 10 with the release of a preview. Each weekly half-hour episode features Oliver sharing his comedic take on political, social, and cultural events in the US and worldwide.
This is FRESH AIR. John Oliver spent several years as the senior British correspondent on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," then guest hosted for Stewart for two months in 2013. That's when HBO poached him from Comedy Central, launching a weekly news comedy roundup called "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver." On Sunday, "Last Week" launched its 10th season, and our TV critic David Bianculli welcomes it back with undiminished enthusiasm. Here's his review. 041b061a72
