last week tonight listings are messed up

The program listings for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver have multiple inaccuracies. The descriptions don't match the titles and some descriptions are repeated for multiple episodes. Some episodes have no title.

That's definitely frustrating, and I'm so sorry to hear that the program listings for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver are inaccurate. That's not the experience we want you to have.

This issue can happen for a few reasons, all related to the data we receive from our programming partners. Here’s a quick overview of why you might be seeing these inaccuracies:

  • Metadata errors: We get our show information, including episode titles and descriptions, from external providers. If there's an error in the data they send us, it can cause the listings to display incorrectly.

  • Missing or incomplete data: Sometimes, we receive incomplete information, which can lead to blank episode titles or descriptions.

  • Manual entry errors: While most of the data is automated, some of it is still entered manually, which can occasionally lead to typos or repeated descriptions.

If you continue to see issues, please let us know and we can take a closer look at things.
