John Oliver has been killing it with Last Week Tonight, turning Monday into a day for everyone to check who or what was the next recipient of a now-trademark Oliver ether. He's doing so well, in fact, that he's beating his fellow HBO star Bill Maher in the ratings. 

Last Week Tonight has hit 4.1 million average viewers per weak, edging out the 4 million Real Time brings in. The figures include plays on HBO Go and DVR, because both shows don't exactly have the best time slots, airing on Sunday and Friday nights, respectively. 

It's Oliver's name attached to the W, but the real winner here is HBO.
