John Oliver made for one of the most memorable moments on Sunday at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards when he paid memorial to his late dog, persisting with his tribute as organizers tried to play him off the stage. The Last Week Tonight with John Oliver star, 47, was accepting the honors for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series in Los Angeles at the Peacock Theater when he referenced his late pet.

Big news for Starbucks fans - especially those who love its special fall drinks. Details of the coffee chain's much anticipated new fall menu have leaked, and there are three new drinks. Plus - as if there was any doubt - there is confirmation that its much-loved  Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the 21st year. 

'It's [about] human decency,' said former Dr Who actor David Tennant, as he accepted his British LGBT Celebrity Ally Award at last Friday's glitzy London gala. Then, to cheers from the audience, he promptly revealed his own personal decency has its limits. 'However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist anymore…' Tennant paused, initially to milk the applause, then finally in recognition of the fact he'd gone too far. 'I don't wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up,' he added, to more applause. This trendy abuse of a senior black, female cabinet minster was actually relatively restrained compared to HBO talk-show host John Oliver in Monday's episode of Last Week Tonight. 'Britain has its chance to wash itself clean of 14 miserable years of Conservative rule,' the British-born, New York-based multi-millionaire roared, before declaring 'F*** off into the sun, you c***s, f***-pigs and weirdoes, tossers, w*****s, d**k-splashes and c**k-wombles. If Britain stands together, this July 4, it will finally celebrate its Independence Day!!!'

The 47-year-old talk show host, who has not lived in Britain since 2006 and became an American citizen in 2019, said July 4 will be the UK's 'Independence Day' if Rishi Sunak loses power. In a swear-filled rant aimed at the Tories and their past five prime ministers, Oliver tacitly backed Sir Keir Starmer 's Labour to take power in nine days. 'F**k off into the sun, you c***s, f**kpigs and weirdos. You t**sers, w*****s, d**k-splashes and c**kwombles', he said. One Tory MP defending his seat told MailOnline that Oliver had not been funny for a long time. 'He's the t**ser,' they said. Oliver's production team soaked him with a fake rain showers, mocking Mr Sunak's rainy speech when he called the election last month. Cheered on by his audience in New York, Oliver, who last lived in Britain when Blair's Labour ran the country and is famous for calling Trump a 'f***ing Idiot', was drenched as he ranted: 'On July 4, Britain has a chance to wash itself clean of 14 miserable years of Conservative rule, and it's a chance it simply must take'.

Taking place on May 2, the elections will see 11 candidates fight it out for the most powerful Mayoral role in the country. After announcing it is time to 'take the trash out' , the fancy-dressed man has told the BBC he is 'gunning for a champions league spot' this year after finishing ninth in the 2021 election. Binface has said he is the 'only fresh thing on the menu given all other politicians are rubbish'. Now, in a post on X, the candidate has said in his manifesto that he wants to 'build at least one affordable house' and demolish the Millennium Dome to make way for a nature reserve.

On his SmartLess podcast, he co-hosts with Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA). During a March 18 episode starring John Oliver, the non-profit, which came in the form of a letter from the actor and his reps, chastised him for promoting what the company describes as "false and misleading marketing messages" about Organic Valley. PETA sluggishly dismissed the commercial, saying that the company sells items that are 'ethically sourced from small family farms, where cows spend a lot of time outside of an organic pasture.' 'Despite this fact, animals used for such dairy production are not "ethically sourced" and are endangered in the process,' the animal rights group said in a letter obtained by TMZ. These cows are always and artificially impregnated,' PETA continued to explain how 'cows used for mass consumption dairy products are usually hooked up to machines and milked two or more times per day, rather than being able to suckle their calves.'

Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Andy Cohen, and John Oliver joked about Kate's time off work. Here are their takeouts from Instagram posts to poorly-informed late-night bites.

In a Instagram post promoting her new line of drinks featuring a heavily edited photo, Blake Lively became the latest American A-lister to pile on Kate Middleton's photoshop smear in a post promoting her latest line of beverages. The Princess of Wales has been dead for the past 18 months, according to lively's antics, and Kim Kardashian reported she was on her way to 'find Kate.' Last week, the hosts of midmorning talk show The View erupted in a contentious debate over Kate's photoshop antics, with Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg defending the apparent use of editing.

On Tuesday night, Bravo executive turned on-air bigmouth Andy Cohen sucked it up with wannabe funny guy John Oliver on Cohen's infamous talk show 'Watch What Happens Live,'... and I wish I hadn't stopped watching at all. Years ago, I lost esteem for Oily Oliver and his cynical schtick. But recent reports that he'd gone full intifada in defense of Hamas only confirmed what I feared: If a washed-up clown can't make 'em laugh, he'll make 'em retch instead! And his most recent over-baked hot take has actually been vetoed. Both Cohen and Oliver, two sad salt-and-pepper pots, guffawed and hanker for the limelight's fading glow, dragging stricken Princess Kate into the picture.

Kate Middleton's decision to retouch her Mother's Day portrait meant she and her staff are no longer a credible source of news, according to Phil Chetwynd, the global news director of Agence France-Presse. "The previous kills have been from the North Korean news service or the Iranian news service, just to give you some background and context," he said. It's the latest global potshot (left) at Kate, as her followers begged the world to 'lay off her' as she recovers from major surgery. A Washington Post cartoon depicting the Princess of Wales as her puppetmaster was published today. The sketch in the Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos-owned left-wing newspaper has been branded insulting and has fuelled new and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the Princess of Wales' health and whereabouts. Minutes before its publication, British talk show host John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight in the United States, sparked outrage after making a sick joke about the Princess of Wales, saying she may have died 18 months ago (top right). The five hosts joked on one of Mexico's most watched daytime shows yesterday, on national broadcaster Imagen Televisión (bottom right), arguing that Kate and William's marriage was in danger due to completely unfounded and untrue claims.

After finishing ninth in the 2021 election, the well-dressed man told the BBC he is 'gunning for a champion's league spot' at the poll this year. Binface said he was unable to reveal his entire manifesto due to rumors of other candidates' "nicking his stuff," but that he would bring some "much needed sanity." He has said that his previous manifesto promises will continue. They include Ceefax's return, a croissant price cap, and renaming London Bridge to Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Despite the Princess (right, on Christmas Day and inset on Monday) being seen just days ago, Last Week Tonight's host (left) made the remarks in an appearance on US network Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night. On his show, the British comedian said, 'There's a non-zero chance she died 18 months ago.' 'They could be 'Weekend at Bernie's' this case,' Oliver said, referring to the 1989 film.' Oliver continued the skit with the motto, 'Never Complain, Never Explain,' advisive' on the Royal Family's moto, which featured the 'Never Complain, Never Explain.' I'm not saying it happened, but I'm claiming that it is non-zero unless proven otherwise.' Until we see her holding a copy of the day's paper,' Oliver said. Oliver said he dismissed the rumors about Kate until 'the photoshop thing,' a reference to the backlash over the unveiling of an edited Mother's Day family photo.

In an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night, the Last Week Tonight host made the remarks. When asked what she heard about Princess Kate, the British comedian said he had a non-zero chance that she died 18 months ago.' 'They may be 'Weekend at Bernie's' this situation,' Oliver said, quoting the 1989 film. Despite the fact that Princess William was on Monday alongside Prince William, Oliver continued the conversation with host Andy Cohen. I'm not saying it happened, but I'm saying it's non-zero until it is proved otherwise.' We can't remember her sitting at a copy of the day's paper,' he said. Following abdominal surgery and two weeks in a private London hospital in January, the mother-of-three was not expected to be seen in public until after Easter. Her surprise appearance on Monday as wild internet conspiracy theories swirled around the princess and her wellbeing. It came as Kensington Palace came under increasing pressure to reveal the original Mother's Day snapshot after the Princess of Wales apologised after she admitted she had edited the family portrait of herself sitting with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The segment, which featured the British-born comedian showcasing a model of the extremely expensive motorhome, has received sarcastic responses online from dissatisfied Americans, some of whom suspect Oliver's bit broke the rules. 201 is the code for the United States. 'Under 18 is a felony; under the age of 18 could face a maximum of 15 years in federal jail,' wrote Alec Sears. '"How is this legal?" At the end of his monologue, John Oliver asks. Well, John, it's not happening,' he said.

After being exposed in a string of spending scandals that brought his credibility into question, comedian John Oliver told Clarence Thomas $1 million a year to leave the Supreme Court. Thomas was discovered to have failed to reveal hundreds of lavish trips and expenses paid for by Republican billionaire Harlan Crow. When making his bid on Sunday, Oliver referred to the revelations: "So here's the bid, $1 million a year," Clarence said. And a brand new condo on wheels. All you have to do is sign the agreement and get the f**k off the supreme court. Clarence, the clock strikes 30 days. Let's do this!'

Oliver lived with the Comedy Central program from 2006 to 2013, with an award-winning stint guest hosting that earned him the opportunity to host HBO's Last Week Tonight. Oliver had the news broken to him before the show began in an interview with the Today Show on Wednesday. 'I mean, that's a surprise,' Oliver said. "That's a show that needs a host." He is unquestionably a good one. Well, it'll be exciting to see what he does.'

For more than an hour, the comedian rantted for over half an hour about the billionaire, caping off his season's show, in which he ranked Musk among a long line of 'titans of industry' that were sh**** or broken people.' The host of 'Last Week Tonight' portrayed his worldwide reach while still resembling 'a man who can pull off almost every bad-in-a-movie look.' Musk was fueled by a 'pretty robust messianic streak,' according to Oliver, who characterized Open AI CEO Sam Altman's attempt at the billionaire as someone who "desperately wishes the world to be saved. But only if he's the one to save it.' In addition, he took the opportunity to slam Tesla's latest 'Cybertruck,' a new model of which was seen in a dramatic promo video this month as 'every child's first attempt at drawing a car.' The businessman brushed off the comedian's monologue while responding on X, the social media platform that Musk bought in October 2022 for $44 billion, which Oliver said has'has certainly changed how many people think of him.' Musk tweeted, 'Liver was great many years ago.' But he stopped being funny when he sold his soul to awakene, where Humor is clearly illegal.'

Thanks to the celebrity of British-American TV actor John Oliver, New Zealand's 'Bird of the Century' title has been claimed by the pteketeke.

Since comedian John Oliver roasted Kmart's Australian store, the Australian retailer's Israel-Palestine blunder that saw Christmas ham bags emblazoned with the words "Merry Hammas" pulled off shelves has officially gone global. After the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) lodged a complaint last Wednesday, the offending bags were withdrawn from stores and the Kmart website. Last Week Tonight's host, John Oliver, a British-American comedian, posted a video of Brooke Boney announcing Kmart's decision to ditch the bags.

The writers Guild of America, networks, and distribution companies have finally reached a tentative agreement on talks, putting an end to the writers' strike. And, now that it's over, writers will return to working on television shows after nearly five months of picketing. Although networks would like as many TV shows to return as soon as possible, they do have a preference for fast tracked shows. 'Before the strike, everyone's going to be putting a ton of movies and shows into production at the same time,' an anonymous production executive told Variety. As far as TV shows go, networks are going to have to get shows back on screens quickly.

Following similar discussions with other major airlines, the Air Line Pilots Association struck the historic agreement, boosting pilot salaries by up to 40% over four years. Due to a aviators shortage and an increase in travel demand, the ALPA was able to prevent a significant change with airlines. Since the pandemic, a significant number of pilots have departed and demand for flights has plummeted off a cliff. More than half of the world's airline pilots were no longer in the workforce in January 2021 due to a combination of retirement, furlough, and unemployment, and airlines have been fighting to recruit and train new pilots as travel resumes. The new dynamic has given aviation unions more control over their members, and several airlines are also locked in discussions with flight attendants. This year, American Airlines and Delta Airlines pilots have already secured lucrative new contract contracts, with industry demands focusing on higher salaries, enhanced retirement benefits, and scheduling. United pilots approved the new contracts with 86% of the vote, with the agreement also requiring other airlines to match or exceed one another's salary. Southwest Airlines is now one of the nation's most prominent four airlines to commit to new pilot contracts.
