John Oliver

In a recent episode of Last Week Tonight on the the Medicare system in the U.S., John Oliver praised the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

This past weekend, John Oliver called out the exploitation of farmworkers on his show, "Last Week Tonight" and mentioned a West Michigan farm worker that yelled at a migrant worker.

John Oliver’s HBO Last Week Tonight has been on a brief hiatus since we said goodbye to Game of Thrones, and while the intervening weeks have surely wrought plenty to discuss upon his return, there’s time to take stock meanwhile. Cue a new web-only exclusive for Last Week Tonight, as the comedian delves into “fan mail” to read some of the nicer (and nastier) comments about the series.

Now that we’ve finally arrived in 2016, TV talk can safely shift to from the shows closing up shop in December, to the onslaught of premieres and returns on deck. We’ll have to wait until February the latest Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, but thankfully, the prolific host has a short segment to tide us over, and remind us it’s okay to fail New Years’ resolutions miserably.

"Last Week Tonight" is on break until 2016, but John Oliver showed up on YouTube just in time to get us out of those pesky New Year's plans. What's so bad about going out on New Year's Eve? In my experience, it's just never as awesome as you intend it to be. You spend a ton of money, get all dressed up, and then get in a fight with your friends/ get stranded/ lose your shoes/ fall down/

Sunday night, John Oliver addressed the scandal on HBO's Last Week Tonight.

John Oliver made some noise recently about churches, and to show how easy it is to found your own tax exempt church, he created Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption. John Oliver is the 'Megareverend' and CEO of the church, that solicited 'seeds' from his viewers, much as the televangelists solicit 'seeds' from theirs. Unfortunately, a lot of people took the word 'seeds' a bit too literally.

Tonight at 11:59:59, the atomic clock will add one second to the day, to help with...um...something...ah...complicated, and all scientific, or something. It doesn't matter. We're all going to get an extra second on the day! John Oliver and his crew at 'Last Week Tonight' have built a cool internet machine to help you waste that extra second in a fun way!

At first I was all, "Oh, Wednesday is April 1st. Cool. That means we're getting even closer to summer!" Then I remembered, "Crap. It's April Fools' Day. The day everyone thinks they're super funny and the best pranksters on the planet. No thank you." John Oliver is with me.

John Oliver has a show on HBO called Last Week Tonight, and has started a series of interviews of people with "good brains".  He calls it, "People Who Think Good", and he starts it off, appropriately, with Stephen Hawking. Who'd have thought the legendary genius would be as funny as he is? Oliver: Is there a possible parallel universe where I'm smarter than you? Hawking: Yes.
