Sunday night is here, and you know what that means. It’s time for another look back at the week of news in a satirical way, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is the place to turn.
The series takes a look at all news, and it’s often hard to figure out what John Oliver will want to talk about next. After all, it’s not like we can all predict what’s going to happen. That’s part of what makes these late night TV shows so much fun — because they really do bring some twists if there’s a sudden shocking item during the weekend’s agenda.
What time is Last Night Tonight with John Oliver on?
Of course, you need to know how to watch this series live, and the only place to do that is on HBO Max. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 12 episode 29 will air at 11 p.m. ET on the streamer.
Yes, this is the only place to watch, and yes, unlike a lot of streamers, it drops late in the night. This is the best way to make sure it covers all the news from the week, rather than being too far behind. Plus, it makes it feel more like a late night series.
The episodes are short for those who can’t stay up too late on a Sunday night. Each one comes in around 30 minutes, so you know you can just get a brief catchup on the news. Plus, you can stream it whenever you want on HBO Max afterward, so save it for your lunchbreak on Monday to catch up!
What to expect on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 12 episode 29
Well, we can’t exactly tell you what Oliver is going to cover. There is no synopsis for the night, because it really does depend on some of the events happening in America (and sometimes the world).
We’re sure to see more about the government shutdown and the SNAP benefits, and there may be a mention of the medical emergency that happened in the Oval Office this week. Let’s not forget about the tragic events with the UPS plane earlier this week, and there may be a mention of the U.S. removing sanctions on the Syrian President.
It’s important not to take the series too seriously, as it’s all supposed to be satirical. If you see something that intrigues you, look into multiple reports from all sides of the political spectrum to get all of the details. And I mean all of them!
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs on Sundays at 11 p.m. ET on HBO Max.
