That segment on net neutrality was amazing. This show is just so good. I wish it was an hour.

 

[Beeblebrox]

This show is great, why aren't more people talking about it? I'm literally laughing to tears at some of the jokes. Net neutrality piece was amazing, Nintendo thing has been great, that India news segment was also great, just to name a few. Gonna watch this regularly from now on.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Segment on net neutrality was painful great and so funny.

The Best TV Shows of 2014, as of very early June, according to some guy from TIME

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (HBO)
The Daily Show alum’s blistering comedy-cast is very new, but it’s the most welcome addition in a year of late-night change. Reorienting the fake-news format toward world events and commercial culture, it’s becoming the go-to chaser to the stiff drink of Sunday-night TV.

 

[Meier]

Do we know how many episodes the first season will be?

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight.

Do we know how many episodes the first season will be?

I did a quick search and couldn't find any info.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Do we know how many episodes the first season will be?

From what I've heard, I think it'll operate like a traditional last night show in terms of schedule. There isn't going to be a 10, 12 episode "season", they'll just keep running it. They'll have weeks off though, and possibly a significant break sometime.

This show reminds me of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe/Weekly wipe.

 

[BigJonsson]

ROFL!!!! This song

 

[Jarrod38]

That was amazing.

 

[whytemyke]

Do we know how many episodes the first season will be?

I thought I remember reading that he was there for 26 episode start and then they'd go from there. That could be 100% inaccurate though.

Why has HBO been so willing to put large chunks of John Oliver's new show on the Internet?

Holy shit, that was well done.

Oh my god. This is so awesome. It is like The Bugle on Steroids.

Give Andy some work!

 

[DominoKid]

love the Net Neutrality and FIFA segments i saw on youtube.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

This show reminds me of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe/Weekly wipe.

Series 1 or 2? Because 2 jumped the shark badly with the new segments from Limmy and Philomena Cunk.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Another good episode.

FIFA is just crazy

This was a great segment.

 

[linsivvi]

This show continues to deliver.

Series 1 or 2? Because 2 jumped the shark badly with the new segments from Limmy and Philomena Cunk.

More 1 as there aren't many non-main segments. 2 was still fine if you fast forward those Philomena bits.

I'm in awe. I always thought he was good on Jon Stewart, but this.. Wow. That was brilliant, informative, sad and way too funny. Great job. This kind of stuff is making me considering an HBO sub!

 

[jay23]

The FIFA and preventing cable company fuckery segments are incredible. I really love this show.

 

[undrtakr900]

Just watched the FIFA and Net Neutrality segments on youtube and Oliver is on fire with his hilariously witty satire. I'd say he's as enjoyable to watch as Stewart and Cobert.... since he's the 2nd person to get a [well deserved] show spin off of The Daily Show.

 

[Burt]

This show is so god damn good. I had already caught the FIFA segment online, but the entire lead up in the episode is just as good. Crazy to think this might've never been a show if Stewart didn't take last summer or whenever that was off.

 

[whytemyke]

Oh man, he's going after Iraq already. Should be good.

 

[whytemyke]

Oh my God, I can't believe he landed an interview with Steven hawking. Just hilarious, as well.

 

[Korten]

When does HBO Go update? Episode 7 isn't up yet... Despite GoT having updated.

 

[KingK]

When does HBO Go update? Episode 7 isn't up yet... Despite GoT having updated.

Episodes for this show don't go up until sometime Monday. It has something to do with them filming on Sundays, I think.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Lolol that Hawking interview was hilarious.

 

[dead souls]

Lolol that Hawking interview was hilarious.

It really was. Another great episode.

 

[Jarrod38]

Lolol that Hawking interview was hilarious.

I actually found the American Tail part to be funnier.

[Siegcram]

I am not a dingo.

Exactly what a dingo would say.

Spoiler

I'm watching you, dingo.

 

[e_i]

I actually found the American Tail part to be funnier.

The American Tail bit is funny, but vicious and mean at the same time. It kind of made me furious at our broken system.

Oh yeah, Hawking is boss.

 

[Jintor]

Man Hawking slowly smiling is so fucking hilarious

 

[Air]

I'm definitely going to start watching this weekly. He's had way too many good stuff for me to ignore.

 

[speculawyer]

He has got to work Andy into the show. Perhaps some UK interviews. And a pun run torture. But none of the pseudo-historical Andy bullshit that Andy writes . . . it is tiresome.

The Bugle is expressly about the bullshit tho

 

[Sundown]

This is a brilliant show. I got tired of Jon Stewart's shtick on Comedy Central a while ago, and this being on a weekly basis, I'm really enjoying the summation of weekly events.

 

[speculawyer]

The Bugle is expressly about the bullshit tho

But Last Week Tonight is not.

 

[Jintor]

But Last Week Tonight is not.

True enough.

But maybe he can talk about cricket instead.

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight.

 

[Mairu]

How long does it take HBOGO to put this up usually? I don't see tonight's episode yet

 

[Steelyuhas]

It won't show up until tomorrow.

 

[Mairu]

It won't show up until tomorrow.

Oh

 

[Steelyuhas]

Oh

Yeah because they film the episode the same day, it's not ready for live viewing via HBO GO.
