John Oliver Is Still ‘Massively’ Frustrated HBO Moved His ‘Last Week Tonight’ YouTube Clips to Thursdays

> If Oliver had his way, people would watch “Last Week Tonight” in “its entire form” — not just through clips. “This is partly self-serving, not just that I’d like my employer to be happy, but we do take a lot of effort to make sure the show makes sense as a whole. So if we’re doing a very bleak main story, we like putting real dumb stuff around it.”

> ”What I love about having the show on YouTube is the ‘A’ story, we can reach beyond HBO subscribers. That’s really important to me. I think it’s a good advert for HBO. I think it reflected really well on them and still does, the fact that they release this main story. I would rather they did it straight after the show the way that they’ve always done it, but I’ve very grateful that they’re willing to do it at all.”

I’d suggest that people just listen to the interview John Oliver did with the New York Times.

John Oliver didn’t seem as miffed about it as this headline makes it seem.
