It uses humor and satire to talk about news, politics, and things happening in the world. The main difference is that Last Week Tonight comes out once a week, not every day.
How the Show Works
John Oliver and his team pick a few big news stories or topics each week. They then explain these topics in a way that is both funny and easy to understand.

It covers many different subjects, from government actions to how big companies work.
