Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
I heard this show is hilarious. Kind of like The Daily Show, but once a week? It's on HBO, I want to start watching.
41 episodes already. Not sure how entertaining it would be to watch old ones since it's like a news show

I like John Oliver but I've never taken the time to check this out.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Watched the most recent one last night. It was funny. First half of the 30 minute show he covers the headlines of the week. Second half of the show is a specific topic. The one I watched was internet harassment. Like if your crazy ex-boyfriend posted nude photos of you online you would need to send the copyright office in DC more nude photos to prove the nude photos of you online are actually you.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
We've watched 4 now. 2 newest ones and now starting from the beginning. The show started in April 2014 and they usually discuss big stories so it's fine listening to old news. Plus, most of the show is about a particular topic like I said. Show is very funny and surprisingly informative. He sheds some light on things I would never think about.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Worth posting about again. This show is hilarious. We laugh throughout the entire show and it is very informative.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
I'll have to check it out.

I like to listen to these at work now. It's like listening to a Ted Talk, but he they drop the F bomb way more.

You will miss 23% of the humor though if you don't watch. I love his facial expression to things and the graphics.

I loved that he set up his own church to mock televangelists. Also, your link.. is broken mate.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Great episode, I had no idea these "churches" flat out ask for money and make claims like that. Anyone else call the number? It's John yelling at you for 3 minutes

Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
The documentary I watched last week talked about televangelist. It focused more on the how they did the scams. But they do go hand in hand quite well.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Oliver had an update on this on Sundays episode. Check it out
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
I need to start watching, every clip I've seen linked online is absolutely hilarious! The Caspian Sea one got me good

Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Yeah I should watch too but I also like to pick and choose the category.
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Only half of his episode gets posted to the HBO channel. None of the weekly news sections do. We just finished season 1 right now. Even though the news stories were a year old it was funny to watch
Re: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Someone posted on reddit what you get back after mailing in money to Oliver's church
Hard to link that from the app tho
Someone also found in the small print online that all the money is being donated to doctors without boarders.

Get on your computer. I figured they'd donate the money.
