Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is an American late-night talk show created and hosted by John Oliver for HBO. The show takes a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events.[1]
As of July 21, 2024,[update] 307 episodes of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver have aired.[2] The tenth season of the show premiered on February 19, 2023.[3]
In May 2023, production was temporarily halted due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[4] The strike ended on September 27, 2023, and production of the show resumed.[5] As a result, only 21 episodes were produced in Season 10, rather than the 30 shows produced in the previous seven seasons, with production extending into the month of December, a month in which the show had previously gone dark.
