John Oliver called Sarah Palin many things on Sunday night, from a “bulls—” peddler to a “grifter.” But during “Last Week Tonight,” he had a new one for the former Alaska governor now seeking a seat in U.S. House of Representatives: He compared her to a walrus penis.Oliver kicked off the show with a recap of midterm elections across the country, including in Alaska, where candidates are currently vying for the congressional seat vacated by Don Young, who died earlier this year.

John Oliver took another swipe at all the changes happening at Warner Bros. Discovery and this time he addressed the shows getting pulled from HBO Max.

For our final TV Talk podcast of the Emmy season, naturally Deadline Chief Film Critic and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond and Deadline Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten thought they would take a shot at calling some key races, not just in terms of what will win, but also in their individual views what should win.

John Oliver had a pretty good laugh at GOP Rep. Mike Turner on Sunday night, after the Ohio representative seemed to be having a physical reluctance to defend Donald Trump over the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago last week, insisting that “classified” doesn’t always actually mean “classified.”“I am not going to speculate or jump to conclusions here, because there is still so much that we don’t know,” Oliver noted.

John Oliver recapped another busy week in politics on HBO Max’s Last Week Tonight. Although President Joe Biden’s administration scored huge with the Inflation Reduction Act passing in Congress, it was the FBI raiding Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort that got the most attention.

Call it a seven-year itch, but the sands of late-night are shifting.

Victoria Beckham has been spotted sporting a very lavish monogrammed dressing gown while soaking up the sun during a family holiday to Miami. The Spice Girls singer, 48, looked glamorous as she was pictured on the family’s luxury superyacht on the latest leg of the Beckhams’ extended summer holiday after recently setting sail in Croatia and Italy.

Seth Meyers was trying to avoid being disappointed in front of his children on Emmy nomination morning, so he went for a run around New York City. He needn’t have worried. For the first time since he took the reins, Late Night with Seth Meyers earned a spot on Emmy’s Outstanding Variety Talk Series ballot.

John Oliver took his first major swipe at his new “business daddy” Warner Bros. Discovery.

scrapping “Batgirl,” but it was a welcome nonetheless.The moment came during Oliver’s main show segment, which this week was monkeypox. In addressing how health officials fumbled the prevention of a widespread outbreak, Oliver noted that the U.S.

made to answer for his conspiracy theories surrounding the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2014. According to Oliver, the proceedings were a “master class in what not to do in court.”As a reminder of the terrible things Jones has said about the tragedy, Oliver pulled up a video clip showing one of the many times that Jones claimed the shooting was “completely fake, with actors.” And while Oliver agreed that Jones’ words have been wrong in many ways, he also pointed out that they aren’t all that shocking.“Look, obviously those claims are disgusting, but they shouldn’t really be that surprising coming from the guy who literally named his platform after going to war with information,” Oliver said.

John Oliver addressed the increasing numbers of monkeypox cases in the U.S. on Sunday night’s episode of HBO Max’s Last Week Tonight. The comedian expressed his frustration that “despite the fact we’re still in the middle of the COVID pandemic, we seem to be replicating some of its key mistakes.”

This week on our Deadline podcast, TV Talk,  Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten and Chief Film Critic and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond continue our discussions on this year’s Emmy nominees, not necessarily ones that have managed to get into the race year after year, or after taking a hiatus, but those charmed shows that make it on their first try. How do you successfully break into a race that often favors the tried and true? Last year for instance the Outstanding Comedy categories produced two new shows, Ted Lasso and Hacks that simply plowed over the rest of the field. They are back this year in their season twos with a combined 37 nominations, but can breakthrough first season standout Abbott Elementary , or 17 time first season nominee Only Murders In The Building triumph on their Emmy race debuts and upset those favorites?  And what about Severance , Squid Game, and Yellowjackets out to crush the chances of past winner Succession in just their first season? What is the secret to Emmy glory for those shows on the first time at bat? We will dive into all of it, plus speaking of the tried and true in terms of Emmy nominations, you will also hear part of my conversation on The Actor’s Side with Killing Eve star Sandra Oh who is up with her 13th nomination for Emmys for the much acclaimed series that went out with a bang. She has never won. Will this be the first time? Listen to our podcast by clicking the link below.

Last Week Tonight.In the episode which aired on Sunday (July 31), Oliver tackled the candidates looking to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister – highlighting an undeleted tweet by Truss which mourns the death of paedophile Jimmy Savile.“Truss has a real knack for making bad decisions and then very much sticking to them,” Oliver said on the show. “Exemplified by the fact that this tweet paying tribute to Jimmy Savile who turned out to be a monstrous paedophile has still not been deleted 11 years later.”Truss’s tweet, posted on October 29, 2011, reads: “Used to see Jimmy Savile at the Flying Pizza on Street Lane, Roundhay.
