He’s back! Everyone’s least favorite comedian/host (according to Donald Trump, that is) is returning for season 3 of Last Week Tonight. On Friday, John Oliver teased the return of his popular HBO talk show in an ironic way, citing all of his detractors' criticisms of the show - mostly by people Oliver has exposed in the past. Yes, everyone from Trump, FIFA Vice President Jack Warner and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa is “quoted” in the season 3 teaser, which you can watch below.
But perhaps the most surprising critic of Oliver is none other than entertaining extraordinaire - Cher. Unfortunately for her, Oliver seems to take her negative comments as more of a compliment if anything, which is good considering the harsh backlash he received from everyone else. Take a look at the season 3 teaser for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver:
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver Season 3 Teaser
John Oliver is coming off of a landmark year in which he challenged numerous corruptions in both local and worldwide organizations. Popular episodes include his takedowns of Sepp Blatter and Jack Warner of FIFA - the governing body of world soccer, income inequality in the United States and the status of sex education in America. He’s drawn a number of positive remarks from audiences, who have gone as far to say that Oliver and his team are doing some of the best journalism around. That’s quite a compliment for a television show designed more to entertain, rather than inform.
Season 3 of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver premieres on HBO this Valentine’s Day - Feb. 14 at 11pm.
