The new agreement will keep LAST WEEK TONIGHT running through a 13th season in 2026.
Best news this year that "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" is extending for another three seasons!
You cannot possibly argue that John is right on the money with their research on multi national companies and government services where incompetence or waste occurs - and I dont even live in the US. Also, no one keeps the right wing media/press/politics (particularly FoxTV & Republicans) in check as much as JO which makes fantastic viewing.
