John Oliver and his team are gearing up for a busy couple of weeks as 'Last Week Tonight' is on a short hiatus this Sunday. The reason? Oliver and his staffers are attending the 77th Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, where the show is nominated in two categories: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Scripted Variety Series.

This popular late-night show, with 30 Emmy wins under its belt, will face some tough competition, especially from 'Saturday Night Live' celebrating its landmark 50th season. But don't worry, fans! 'Last Week Tonight' will be back on HBO and HBO Max next Sunday, September 21, with new episodes rolling out weekly through mid-October.

Meanwhile, other late-night nominees like 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' and 'The Daily Show' will also be in Los Angeles and will take a day off on Monday as they head back to New York. Tune in to the Emmy Awards live on CBS at 8pm ET/5pm PT to catch all the excitement!
