Last Week Tonight is not airing new episode tonight

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver will not have a new episode on March 23. Instead, HBO will air reruns of The White Lotus season 3 at the show’s usual time. Oliver mentioned at the end of the March 16 episode that the show would be taking a break this week, but he did not give a specific reason. The show often takes breaks for holidays or to rest between segments. This occurs during its typical season, which runs from February to November. There is no major holiday this week, so the break may simply be a pause after five consecutive weeks of airing. Fans will not have to wait long for new content, as Last Week Tonight is set to return on March 30. The show is known for its mix of humor and in-depth reporting on important topics affecting the U.S. and global communities. In its current season, Oliver has covered various issues like President Trump's second term, Facebook's content moderation, tipping laws, ICE detention, and sports betting. To watch Last Week Tonight when it returns, viewers need access to HBO through a pay-TV provider or a subscription to Max. Subscribing to Max also allows fans to watch previous episodes.
