Is Last Week Tonight with John Oliver new tonight, March 28?

We’ve reached the end of the weekend and we’re almost at the end of the month. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver fans are hoping to end things with a brand new episode.

With six episodes aired so far, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is still in the early stages of season 8. But by no means has the HBO late night eased into its latest season. Instead, John Oliver has jumped right into major stories related to the pandemic, social justice, and the economy.

Maybe that approach is why Oliver will be taking a break this week. There will not be a new episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver tonight.

Instead, HBO will reair the episode from March 14. Fans can revisit Oliver’s main story on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

What to watch instead of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Last Week Tonight‘s night off could definitely put a damper on some fans’ Sunday night. But there are plenty of other late night television shows worth catching up on if you’re still looking for laughs.

From Friday night, both The Amber Ruffin Show and Real Time with Bill Maher were new. Amber Ruffin tackled major issues like the rise in hate crimes and filibuster laws. Meanwhile, Bill Maher delivered a stern warning about replicating the 1920s in today’s climate.

Earlier in the week, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert reacted to spring break tourists potentially spreading the novel coronavirus in Miami Beach. Saturday Night Live picked up on the story last night, using its cold open to mock college students partying without being vaccinated. Both segments are worth checking out if you missed them.

But if you’re still looking for John Oliver content, there is plenty of that, too. You can stream past episodes on HBO Max or check out his official YouTube channel for more content.
