Last Week Tonight is back on HBO in February. Guess who stopped by to help promote the new season?
When we last saw John Oliver, he was blowing up 2016 to pieces in the middle of a soccer stadium. A fitting end to a wretched year indeed, but we hope to see the fireworks continue when the talk show host assumes his position behind his HBO desk for the fourth season of Last Week Tonight.
Oliver tried his best to sidestep the plague that was the 2016 election last season, but Trump’s America looks all but unavoidable in 2017. That may not bode well for the country or the world at large, but it bodes well for the show and kicks off what HBO hopes will be a pretttttyy pretttttyy big year for the network.
Last Week Tonight Season 4 Air Date
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver returns on February 12th at 11 p.m. on HBO. The show has aired 89 episodes since Oliver signed on with HBO after leaving Comedy Central and The Daily Show in 2013.
Last Week Tonight Season 4 Teaser Trailer
We’re sure Oliver will keep up the standards of his brand of probing journaLOLism that we’ve come to expect, but the comedian is already keeping us on our feet in 2017 by bringing a surprise guest back to HBO, ribbing the one and only Larry David for the long hiatus of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which will finally return for its ninth season.
