LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER
HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET
On Friday, Bill Maher said goodbye for a month, with his current-events comedy series to return after a long break, but in time for convention and election coverage. That leaves the field wide open for the likes of Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert on The Late Show – and my favorite of them all, John Oliver here on HBO.
