    John Oliver’s Psych Up

    So, I’ve been watching the Season 1 episodes on YouTube and I noticed something. John doesn’t drum the desk in the lead in to the show.

    Does anyone know when he started that particular ritual of his?

    YouTube Season 1: Just released - already taken down!

    EDIT: As people suggested - it was due to my VPN using a different IP.

    I regret to not download them in advance: After enjoying the upload of Season 1 to LWTs YouTube Account this week,

    they have been taken down now again.

    I just got to Episode 11 and wanted to watch them threw the couple of days.

    So - HBO noticed they had too many clicks, and wanna commercialize it again? Because frankly, I will continue with my Season 1 Run and wont pay for hit *cough*

    What do you think?

    Max trying to hide Last Week Tonight?

    I have noticed in the past few months on my Max homescreen that last week tonight is just not there either in my “continue watching” section or in my “for you” section even though I watch it literally every week. Most weeks I have to go in the search bar to find it. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Max trying to limit engagement with the content by hiding it? Seeing as how the corporate arm of Max apparently dislikes the show so much this seems possible to me, but kinda insane considering it’s probably the most popular show they currently have running.

    LastWeekTonight S1 is blacklisted on many contries, why so ?

    It's seem the first season of LastWeekTonight is blacklisted on the following regions on youtube:

    AD, AE, AF, AO, AT, AU, BF, BH, BI, BJ, BW, CA, CD, CF, CG, CH, CI, CM, CV, DE, DJ, DZ, EG, EH, ER, ET, FO, FR, GA, GB, GH, GL, GN, GQ, GR, GW, IE, IL, IN, IQ, IT, JO, KE, KM, KW, LB, LI, LR, LS, LU, LY, MA, MG, ML, MR, MT, MU, MW, MZ, NA, NE, NG, NZ, OM, PS, QA, RE, RW, SA, SC, SD, SH, SL, SM, SN, SO, SS, TD, TG, TN, TZ, UG, VA, YE, YT, ZA, ZM, ZW

    Why every other uploaded seasons are fine and available to most regions but s1 only have region lock ?
    Is it because they sold right for the first seasons or something like that but not the others ? But that weird that there is so many regions blocked then, they sold the copyright on so many regions ?

    It's been so hard to watch s1 episode as someone from Europe since i don't have a vpn and most free one are limited in time.

    Right now i'm using Invidious instance to watch them for people looking for a free option that work.

    Season 1 episode 19 intro

    I think it's the first episode where he has his usual intro of "welcome welcome welcome to last week tonight" (please feel free to correct me)

    But it's been joyous seeing him settle into the rhythm of the show and seeing things fall into place over the first season. And also equally horrific how so much is still so relevant and honestly some recaps of the week feel like the could've been recaps for recent weeks oof

    paranoid

    if an episode didn’t drop on Sunday but they gave us all of season one on YouTube for free… did they change any of the dialogue, scenes or talking points… we the fans can come up with a thousand and trillion one reasons why they didn’t show an episode but to give a whole season away in return for not airing an episode is to me not business savvy and very alarming. But as title says I can be paranoid for no reason.

    What topics do you want John to cover in a future episode?

    What topics do you want John to cover in a episode? Personally, I would like to see him take on the Video Game industry or Tourism in Hawaii.

    All seasons, except 11, gone from HBO MAX in Denmark

    As the title says, I checked the app on my tv and tablet today and found that only the 11th season was still there. As far as I can tell, there was no warning, and I can’t remember there ever being any issues with rights either.

    Anyone in here that might know anything that could be relevant? I might just email support and complain about it being taken down as it is the one thing that I watch regularly on the service.

    Is there a list of the "alternate titles" to the show?

    For example - "Numbers Being Yelled At You By Human Squidward" and "Funnytime Happy Hour With Chuckle-Hunk John Oliver"

    I frickin' love those

    Web exclusive/funny episode idea

    One of my kids competes in the Texas UIL competition, and this year they almost made state with their One Act Play competition. Yet, for an unknown reason didn't even though in every previous round they were ranked higher than one that did. So, as an aspiring LWT writer, I did some probing, after many lengthy interviews with directors from across the state they all basically said the same thing. Nepotism is reampent. If your school isn't known for making it to state, or your director isn't friends with the right people. Then good luck, you will be lucky to make it as far as my kid did.

    *corrected grammar.
