LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER
February 15, 2015  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

 

Last week’s Season 2 premiere was a very funny comic meditation about pharmaceutical sales as they relate to patient care. It’s the sort of topic Oliver and his team could have worked on for months, assured that no other late-night comedy show would tackle it – but now they’ve had only a week to prepare this one. And over on Oliver’s old Comedy Central home, Larry Wilmore is now tackling the topic of the day, Oliver-style. But don’t worry about John Oliver. He already proved he could substitute for Jon Stewart, back before we knew we needed one. So he’s got skills – and, by now, should have the trust so you’re eager to tune in.
