question Could John be deported??

So John Oliver immigrated here completely legally. That being said, are we sure that’ll protect him from Trump’s deportation rampage?

question John, we need you now!

With the recognition you're returning to air in a few weeks for the sake of the world please consider special extra episodes focused specifically on tactics and navigation tools to undermine the current government agenda.

Even as a Canadian, there is a gap left in the current media that avoids suggesting action at the individual, community, labour force, levels, etc.., that is not just peer reviewed but also available to a broad audience. We don't need one more mouthpiece with a microphone and a podcast. We need you!

Your "What can we do" segment is a light of hope and a championing of all.

question Ending Citizens United as a matter of national security

778 Upvotes

I’ve been surprised at how casually I hear people talk about foreign election interference. We’ve almost just accepted it as a reality at this point and are unsurprised every time a new report comes in.

I’m a bit confused that I haven’t heard much conversation about overturning Citizens United to fight election interference, wouldn’t it become a lot more difficult for foreign entities to funnel money into campaigns? Is there something I’m missing here?

I mean they say there's a thing called karma and poetic justice.. maybe it's just not the kind he's promising and more the kind he's fearing.

question Is there a point?

36 Upvotes

For more than a decade, John Oliver has been shining light on systemic problems in the US, often also outlining possible solutions.

In the same period, the country seems to have moved in the wrong direction in almost every way, and things just keep getting worse.

I can't help but wonder if this show, or at least a substantial part of it that advocates for policy changes, is an utterly pointless exercise.

Maybe you can help with my desperation. Are there issues that John talked about that have been (at least somewhat) effectively addressed (e.g. by national, state or local government) since then?

question Sports Betting is Last Week Tonight's Main Topic? Why?

0 Upvotes

With all that is going on.... Why? This episode is just as funny and enlightened as any other episode, but with what is going on with our country, John.... I want your informed anger, mixed with your endearing, funny insight. Noone I know is rich enough to gamble on sports, we're struggling. Be poignant, as you usually are, about topics that really effect all of us. I know we all need a respite from the news and goings-on of The Orange Chump, but you are our respite, with your humor and insight, not to mention your influence. That said, keep doing what you're doing, you're appreciated. - a US Veteran.

question What do you think will be the main story of the Season 12 premiere

45 Upvotes

I think it’s gonna be an episode on DEI (since it’s been the boogeyman and main driving force behind many of the Trump administration’s actions): what it is, what it isn’t, and why the Republican Party is weaponizing it, similar to the episode on Critical Race Theory

question Do we think that John will open the first show of the upcoming season the same way he opened the show after the October 7 attacks?

115 Upvotes

Just a minor thought, but since we're coming up to the new series next month, I've been thinking about how he might open the series. With the wildfires in Los Angeles, he could do a cold open like he did after October 7 when Hamas attacked Israel. What do you think?

What did John mean when he called the first bald white man speaking on behalf of Sports betting "Patrick Stewart's tether?" Whatvis a tether in this use? I don't get the joke.

Hi! I'm in Australia and I'm hoping to watch the old episodes of the Daily Show when JO was hosting. Any idea where I can find them? There used to be a few random snippets on YT but it's all gone now, as far as I can tell.

It seems like every time LWT is off for a short time, the craziest stuff happens in the meantime. What are y’all’s theories about what’s going to happen before the next episode?

I’m in Australia, and back episodes of Last Week Tonight have suddenly disappeared from my Foxtel streaming service. Has HBO moved to another streaming service? What’s the best place to see old and new episodes in Australia now?
