This week’s main story is about Benjamin Netanyahu, his time in and out of power in Israel, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and one nifty trick to get John Oliver to do whatever you say. You have to watch the show to find out what it is, but yes, of course it involves horses.

This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.

We’re back tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:15pm on HBO! After two weeks away! You know what that means!! John’s been sitting in the studio, by himself, for 14 days straight. RELAX. We gave him a beach towel. He lays on the floor in darkness and silence and calls it “a British vacation.”

We’ve got a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:02pm on HBO! Right after an episode of “The Yogurt Shop Murders” and right before – you guessed it – a different episode of “The Yogurt Shop Murders.” Can’t have too much yogurt back to back. Need a little English muffin.

Thank you to Bobby Moynihan and Edi Patterson for helping us visualize the people living in Chuck Schumer’s head. And Chuck, if you’re reading this: they’re Republicans. The Baileys are registered Republicans, full stop.

This week’s main story is about the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants, what follow through on that promise looks like in practice, and – to lighten the mood – which animal always looks like it was just caught cheating on its wife. Ok fine: The tarsier.

We’ve got a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:10 on HBO! 10 mins late on HBO cause we’re airing after “The Yogurt Shop Murders” and we wanted to give you processing time in case it’s more about murder than it is about yogurt. Seems impossible. Yogurt is way better than murder. But just in case.

This week’s main story is about what happens when a corporation gets caught committing a crime and why the answer is often: not much! Which is a real bummer. But the story is also about how babies are tiny idiots, so that part is fun!! God, those little guys are just not smart yet.

Here’s last night’s story about deferred prosecution agreements, or DPAs, and how they’re helping corporations avoid prosecution for serious crimes. It’s also about things like NPAs at places like UBS, and the larger question of how many acronyms John can say in one episode. youtu.be/xNo8Ve-Ej6U

This week’s main story is about gang databases, how they’re made, how they’re being used, and why we all love to take a little peek at someone else’s screen. Phone on the subway, laptop in a coffee shop, computer in a cop car, you name it – if we can see it, we’re peekin’.

Here’s last night’s story about gang databases, how people wind up on them, and why if anyone belongs on those lists, it’s Adam Levine. We can’t prove he’s a criminal, we just *feel* that he is one. youtu.be/rlR8d9JVWtQ
