      I’d love if they self hosted or found something other than YouTube. It’s probably a money issue though.

    In February, HBO made news when it announced that it would be delaying Last Week Tonight segments on YouTube for four days after episodes premiere, in an effort to drive viewers to Max, its sibling streaming platform.

    The clips previous dropped on YouTube the morning after an episode aired.
