Since its inception in 2014, the show's popularity has been increasing every year. Even during the pandemic, Oliver continued the show from his own home.
"I don't know to what extent this was surprising to people, that white void was in my home. So, my kids were outside the door. The line between work and family life was about three inches," told Oliver to Collider while sharing his experience of pulling off his show amidst the pandemic.
"I don't know how chaotic people thought it was but it was very, very chaotic. I'd have to stop because a dog barked or my kids barged in wanting to know why the iPad had paused during an episode of Paw Patrol. That was difficult," he joked.
Episodes of 'Last Week Tonight' can be streamed on HBO Max. Clips of the show are available internationally on YouTube every Monday.
