If you have been following John Oliver lately you know he has been everywhere his Emmy-winning late night show allows and then some. Last Week Tonight season 12 just wrapped another two headline-packed weeks with Oliver at the helm taking aim most recently at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On September 28 2025 Oliver devoted the full episode to Netanyahu’s long dominance of Israeli politics and how his alliances with extreme factions are reshaping the region a topic both timely and with possible lasting significance given ongoing news from Israel according to HBO. This followed his fiery September 21 show where he offered a scathing satirical breakdown of ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel weaving in FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr and debate over free speech in American media. HBO and audience sites like IMDb report these appearances are drawing both critical praise and viral social media discussion especially clips dissecting network power struggles and talk show politics.

Oliver’s regular Sunday presence is once again shaping the public narrative about media bias and world leaders. On X formerly Twitter the #LastWeekTonight hashtag trended as viewers re-posted highlights of his Netanyahu segment one of which racked up over a million views overnight per YouTube.

Off screen Oliver is back to his standup roots. He’s prepping for a live show in Baltimore slated for December 30 2025 with ticket sales live on major outlets and the Lyric Baltimore website. According to event details John balances his late night persona with sold-out standup nights something he’s done between seasons for years attracting fans eager for his signature blend of intellectual humor and irreverence.

There have been no credible reports of new business launches or major personal revelations in the last week and industry news has focused almost exclusively on his television and standup work. Stephen Colbert even teased Trump using a John Oliver quip on air showing how peer hosts see Oliver’s satire as must-watch material as reported in Last Night On.

As for gossip nothing currently swirling appears to be more than fan speculation—there is no verified controversy or scandal. Oliver’s team has not commented on politics outside scripted segments and he has not issued statements about the current Hollywood labor talks or industry shakeups.

In sum John Oliver’s key developments this week were the high-impact Netanyahu episode the much talked about Jimmy Kimmel suspension breakdown strong social media traction and anticipation building for his December Baltimore show all marking him as one of the most influential satirical voices in media and comedy once again.
