82. 32 Interesting Facts on John Oliver, the Genius Host of HBO's 'Last Week Tonight'

Published: Oct. 1, 2020, 4 p.m.

With Last Week Tonight recently renewed through 2023 with HBO, we thought we should share 32 interesting facts you didn't know about the show's brilliant and hilarious host, John Oliver. Oliver has spent seven seasons hosting what I\u2019d argue is the funniest political talk show on TV. He teaches his audience about subjects other late-night shows won\u2019t dare touch because they\u2019re not mainstream enough or too boring to make funny. Yet, Oliver always manages to make his show not just funny but laugh out loud hysterical. Whether he\u2019s talking about net neutrality, local sheriffs, or doghouse foreclosures, he always manages to make every segment not only bearable but must-watch TV.
