John Oliver Says HBO’s Decision To Delay ‘Last Week Tonight’ Clips On YouTube Is “Frustrating”: “I Was Not Happy With It At All”


John Oliver is "not happy" with HBO's decision to delay sharing clips of Last Week Tonight on YouTube.

Deadline reported in February of this year that starting with the Season 11 premiere of Oliver’s show, HBO would not share the main story segment on YouTube the following day as it had done until then. I hope they change their mind, but until then, you can see our piece about the Supreme Court on HBO, on MAX, and on YouTube in a few days,” Oliver shared on X, the micro-blogging digital platform formerly known as Twitter, in February. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver continued its Emmy-winning streak at the award ceremony, taking another accolade in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category.
