Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (Web Exclusive): Retractions - 8/26/18

[Rhiannon12866]

John Oliver sets the record straight about some dubious claims he’s made in the past.

[TEB]

1. A show that I do not miss

[Rhiannon12866]

3. I knew that his show wasn't on tonight, but I took a look at YouTube just in case

I normally post his show as soon as it's available after it airs - and found that he'd left us this message!

[TEB]

4. Usually I record it

I did not check if he has a new show but I enjoy John oliver

[Rhiannon12866]

6. His show wasn't on tonight. He announced last week (and in this video)

That he'll be back on September 9th. It's been a pretty rough stretch with the late night comedians not on or in repeats (except for Bill Maher who won't be on this coming week).

8. I saw that a new show did not record

2. Thank you!

I was hoping you would post it, thanks

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Awww! Thanks!

I knew his show wasn't on tonight, but I finally took a look, just in case!

7. How come it's not Showing on the First Page?

I'm gonna try it and see.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. That's a very good question, but there's not a lot I can do about it

Apparently, it's the luck of the draw. Skinner once answered that in AtA, he said it's "a glitch." So it just happens sometimes.

10. Well, I Reposted It

But I told everyone not to rec it, as you were here first.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I have no idea why that happens, but it's happened to me a lot

But there's no sense in my inquiring about it, since I already know the answer.
