Marketing to Doctors

John Oliver discusses the growing issues of pharmaceutical companies marketing directly to and through doctors.

S02 Episode 2

Tobacco

Thanks to tobacco industry regulations and marketing restrictions in the U.S., smoking rates have dropped dramatically. John Oliver explains how tobacco companies are keeping their business strong overseas and how Phillip Morris International in particular is employing some unethical legal practices while suing some of the world's poorest countries. Plus, we've noticed that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue still exists but can’t quite figure out why.

S02 Episode 3

Elected Judges

The vast majority of US judges are elected, forcing many judges to pander to the electorate and accept campaign money in order to keep their jobs. This seems slightly troubling... The UK's Labour Party has painted a campaign van pink in an attempt to attract women voters. We are glad they didn't keep going with that strategy.

S02 Episode 4

Infrastructure

America's crumbling infrastructure: It's not a sexy problem, but it is a scary one.

30 mins  ·  Sun, 1 Mar 2015

S02 Episode 5

U.S. Territories

A set of Supreme Court decisions made over 100 years ago has left U.S. territories without meaningful representation. That’s weird, right? Plus, daylight saving time doesn’t actually benefit anyone. Strangely, it’s still a thing!

30 mins  ·  Sun, 8 Mar 2015

S02 Episode 6

The NCAA

The NCAA doesn’t pay athletes because they consider them amateurs. The NCAA considers them amateurs because they don’t get paid.

30 mins  ·  Sun, 15 Mar 2015

S02 Episode 7

Municipal Violations

If you have money, committing a municipal violation may pose you a minor inconvenience. If you don’t, it can ruin your life. Also, the New Hampshire legislature refused to make the red-tailed hawk the official raptor of their state... so Last Week Tonight made it the official raptor of the show.

30 mins  ·  Sun, 22 Mar 2015

S02 Episode 8

Government Surveillance

There are very few government checks on what America’s sweeping surveillance programs are capable of doing. John Oliver sits down with Edward Snowden to discuss the NSA, the balance between privacy and security, and dick-pics.

The IRS

30 mins  ·  Sun, 12 Apr 2015

S02 Episode 10

Patents

For inventors, patents are an essential protection against theft. But when patent trolls abuse the system by stockpiling patents and threatening lawsuits, businesses are forced to shell out tons of money. Also, CNN produced an actual doomsday video to broadcast when the world is ending and it’s incredibly dull. We've enlisted Martin Sheen to help make humanity’s final moments happier!

30 mins  ·  Sun, 19 Apr 2015

S02 Episode 11

30 mins  ·  Sun, 3 May 2015

S02 Episode 13

Paid Family Leave

Many American companies do not offer paid leave after the birth of a child, which means they probably shouldn’t run sappy Mother’s Day ads. Also, the Japanese have some unhealthy obsession with mascots and John proposes to adopt some of that culture in the U.S. government agencies as well.

30 mins  ·  Sun, 10 May 2015

S02 Episode 14

Chickens

This year’s gay marriage ruling was a milestone, but LGBT discrimination is still surprisingly legal. John Oliver explains why we need a federal anti-discrimination law.

30 mins  ·  Sun, 23 Aug 2015

S02 Episode 27
