Episodes

Trump vs. The World
America's reputation is being damaged by its own president. John Oliver, several dinosaurs, and the NYC Gay Men's Chorus remind the world that our country is...complicated.

As the deadline to file rapidly approaches,Last Week Tonight looks at how many of America's largest corporations shift a surprising portion of their profits overseas to avoid paying taxes. Even more surprisingly — it's legal.

Iran Deal
Donald Trump could soon dismantle the agreement designed to curb the Iranian nuclear program. Our Catheter Cowboy will do his best to keep that from happening.

The Floor
The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.
The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
