| Last Week Tonight with John Oliver | |
Greg News com Gregório Duvivier (English: Greg News with Gregório Duvivier) was a Brazilian news satire late-night talk show hosted by comedian Gregório Duvivier which aired on HBO Brazil. Inspired in the American Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and produced by Porta dos Fundos, which Duviver is part of, the show first aired in May 2017.[1] Season 1 had 30-minutes episodes, finishing in September.[2] Before the season finale, it was confirmed that the show was renewed for two more seasons.[3] A 21st episode was launched on YouTube in December. Season 2 premiered in March 2018.[4] Despite having the usual artistic freedom from HBO, the show was strictly oversighted by the broadcaster legal department to avoid lawsuits.[5]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, season 4 was recorded in Duvivier's house and frequently discussed the pandemic effects in Brazil.[6] During season 5, the show moved to a smaller studio with a reduced production team.[7] Season 6 had a mid-season break during the 2022 general elections due to legal restrictions during the period.[8] In 2024, the show was officially cancelled.[9]
On 11 March 2024, Gregório Duvivier announced the cancelling of the show in his social media accounts. In his statement, Duvivier explained that one of the main reasons for the cancelling was the incompatibility with national production quotas, demanded by local legislation. He highlighted that it happened in part because Porta dos Fundos and other productions were reclassified as foreign production after Viacom became a majority stakeholder of the company.[10]
