Last Week Tonight is a weekly late-night talk show hosted by comedian John Oliver, airing on HBO in the United States. Since its debut, the show has become a staple of American political commentary, though it retains its British-born host's distinct satirical voice. The program is produced by a team of researchers and writers dedicated to long-form investigative comedy.
The show gained widespread acclaim for its unique approach to news, moving beyond standard headlines to provide deep-dive analysis into complex topics. Its breakthrough came through viral segments where Oliver explains dense legal or social issues with sharp wit and extensive research. These deep dives frequently spark real-world conversation and legislative debate, a phenomenon sometimes called the John Oliver effect.
The channel primarily uploads the show's main segments, which typically focus on a single topic ranging from corporate corruption to social justice issues. Each video features a mix of investigative journalism, satirical metaphors, and comedic sketches. Their content is characterized by a direct, evidence-based approach delivered with high-energy humor.
As a production of HBO, the show operates within the traditional premium cable television model. It does not typically engage in traditional brand endorsements or product placements, maintaining an independent editorial voice. The brand is built around the credibility of its research and the popularity of John Oliver’s comedic persona.
There is no reliable public estimate for the total net worth of the show as a collective, but it is backed by the significant budget of HBO. The show generates value through network subscriptions, international licensing deals, and ad revenue from digital platforms. Its primary income streams are tied to the broader Warner Bros. Discovery media ecosystem.
The program is a signature work in the late-night comedy genre, known for its long-form investigative segments. It has become famous for its recurring bits and high-profile stunts, such as purchasing and forgiving medical debt. The show has won numerous prestigious television awards for its writing and impact on public discourse.
Episodes air weekly on HBO and are available for streaming on the Max platform. The show also maintains a highly active YouTube presence where the main story segments are posted for global audiences. These clips often reach millions of viewers shortly after their initial broadcast.
The Last Week Tonight YouTube channel has achieved a major milestone by surpassing about 10.2 million followers. The show has also earned multiple Emmy Awards and Peabody Awards for its excellence in television and journalism. Its influence is measured by both its massive digital reach and its ability to affect public policy.
LastWeekTonight has 10.2M followers in total, which puts this profile in the elite band (over 10m followers). The largest single audience is on YouTube with 10.2M followers — about 100% of the total reach.
Combined reach is the sum of followers and subscribers per platform. It is not unique people: audiences overlap, so treat it as a size indicator for shortlisting rather than a guaranteed audience.

LastWeekTonight is based in United Kingdom and posts in English. For brands that usually means the core audience follows the same market and language, with a long tail from everywhere else — big accounts rarely stay local.
The content sits in movies & tv and comedy, so the people watching are self-selected for those interests. That is the useful part of a niche profile: a mid-size account inside the right category often beats a much larger general account, because the audience already cares about the subject.
If you need the same audience profile in another market, the country and language lists on CreatorFanBase let you line up comparable creators side by side instead of guessing.
If you are shortlisting LastWeekTonight for a campaign, these are the facts worth carrying into the brief. Everything here is stored data, refreshed on a schedule rather than typed in once.
A practical sequence: check the lead platform matches where your buyers are, check market and language, open the official account to see recent posting frequency, then ask for a media kit and rate card directly.

LastWeekTonight's counts come from the platforms themselves via Apify YouTube public channel and are refreshed on a schedule; the most recent check was Oct 14, 2026. When a platform blocks a read, we keep the last verified number and show where it came from instead of filling the gap with an estimate.
Large jumps are treated as suspect: a sudden drop past our safety threshold is held back for review rather than published, which is why the numbers here tend to be lower-drama than screenshots circulating elsewhere.
