We’re back with more hard facts, medium-deep history, and society’s least asked-for stories, starting February 18th!

Tonight’s episode will be sort of…….happy? If that makes any sense? We know, we know. It’s weird to us, too. See you at 11pm!

In our K-pop segment Sunday night, while arguing that 'Jungkook can get it,' we featured a fancam that inadvertently also contained a shot of Kai from EXO. We're fixing the error for future broadcasts, but to be clear: Kai can also get it. They can both. Get. It.

A huge thank you to Adam Driver, for being at all willing to take part in our season finale, despite all the violent filth we’ve thrown at him all season. We promise, the bit is over. Unless you tell us it’s not.

Thank you for watching the show this season. It’s been a truly terrible year, and we’re so happy we could continue to share at least a little bit of joy together. Including, but not limited to, blowing 2020 the fuck up.

Now that the WGA strike is over, we’re so excited to say we’ll be back this Sunday with a new episode! That’s right, after five long months, we’re finally going to let John out of his hole. But we promise, he’s been very happy in there. He's had water and toys and everything.

A couple of points...
1. Yes, we have a boring show.
2. At no point did we invite Donald Trump to appear on it.
.@thehill John Oliver had his people call to ask me to be on his very boring and low rated show. I said "NO THANKS" Waste of time & energy!

After an unexpected development that will require John's full attention, there will be no new episodes of Last Week Tonight for the foreseeable future.

CORRECTION: In our show on October 16, 2016, we raised the possibility that Joe Exotic might be "the perfect candidate" for the presidency. In light of subsequent events, we must regretfully concede that he was, in fact, the second-least-perfect presidential candidate that year.

When we needed someone everyone likes and trusts for our piece on conspiracies this summer, we knew the perfect choice was Alex Trebek, who was every bit as kind and generous with his time as you would hope.

Fred Willard was the best. Neither the Jimmy Stewart line nor the word "Jefferson" were in the script for this, and you can see just how delighted he was to add them.

Hello to all our new viewers who've encountered our 2019 segment on voting machines through conservative media using it to push Trump's voter-fraud claims! First: sorry we swear so much! But second: the way people are using that segment is horseshit!

We’re back tonight at 11:20pm! We needed the extra 20 minutes to read an entire month’s worth of news really, really fast. Seems like not much happened while we were gone, but we were skimming so please let us know if we missed anything big.

There’s no show tonight. And sadly, we won’t be back for another 3 weeks. But we want you to know, no matter how long we’re away, Sunday night will always be *our* thing.
Just not for the next 3 weeks.

We’re back at 11pm! It’s been a long* couple of weeks. See you tonight!!!
*Technically it’s been the standard amount of time you would call a “couple of weeks” … but it’s FELT long, because we missed you.

Gilbert Gottfried was the best. We once decided to punish UK audiences for their law prohibiting the use of parliamentary footage in comedy programs, by having him read Brexit legalese and Bigfoot erotica. Stick around till he gets to the erotica.

We’re back tonight at 11pm! With a 40-minute episode! And we’re not very good at math, but we crunched a few numbers, and we think 10 extra minutes to explain 5 months worth of current events should be totally fine. John talks pretty fast, so.

Season 11 has begun! And this week's main story is about the Supreme Court, the ethically questionable gifts some of the justices receive, and one very special offer for Clarence Thomas. Which could ruin John’s life. Genuinely. You’ll see.
