John Oliver is sharing his reaction to Jay Leno’s criticism of late night television shows. The former Tonight Show host, 75, recently said he feels the current crop of late night talk show hosts are alienating viewers with apparently partisan politics.

Oliver's Emmy-winning "Last Week Tonight" is structured around one main segment each week that dives deep into a particular topic. Recent subjects have included juvenile justice, AI and deferred prosecution agreements. Oliver has also tackled segments focused more on politics, and he has been critical of President Donald Trump.

Late​-night comedy was thrown into turmoil in July following CBS’ decision about the late-night talk show. The move has been accused of being politically motivated move since President Donald Trump won a huge election interference lawsuit against CBS’ parent company Paramount just days later.
