Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (often abridged as Last Week Tonight) is an American news satire late-night talk show hosted by John Oliver. It airs every Sunday and runs from February to November on HBO in the United States.

Last Week Tonight discusses news stories, current events, public figures, and organizations. Each episode's main segment covers one political or social issue in length, even if it may not have received recent news coverage. Alongside satire, the show uses self-referential humor, black comedy and observational comedy, and has been noted for its informative and fact-based content.

Last Week Tonight premiered in April 2014 and adopted its current broadcast schedule from its second season. The show has since become the fifth-longest running program on HBO, and was renewed for a thirteenth season, which began airing from February 2026.
