John Oliver Slams the 'Genius' Who Keeps Changing HBO Max's Name, Admonishes Parent Company Exec for Anticipating His 'Hot Take'
John Oliver didn't disappoint his corporate overlords Sunday night by addressing the recent HBO Max name reversal — the latest in a series of changes for the streaming service. During his main segment on Last Week Tonight, which was about President Donald Trump's often antagonistic relationship with the press, Oliver referred to the current administration's decision to ban the Associated Press from the Oval Office for refusing to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' a move Trump made soon after taking office. More from The Hollywood Reporter Second 'Mountainhead' Trailer Suggests AI (and Its Billionaire Characters) Are the Villains Behind Warner Bros.' $125 Million Arbitration Win Against Village Roadshow Over 'Matrix Resurrections' Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Explains Reasoning Behind Max Rebrand, Potential Company Split Justifying the AP's decision, Oliver noted: 'It has clients all over the world, and lots of them still use the term the Gulf of Mexico, so it's not as simple as you're making out there, especially because it can take time for people to adjust to a stupid name change.' He then turned to the recent decision by Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns HBO and HBO Max, where Last Week Tonight airs. Showing the various logos/names onscreen, Oliver noted: 'Sometimes, hypothetically, before we can even get used to one dumb name [HBO Go], some genius comes along and only makes it dumber [HBO Now], then somehow it gets dumber still [HBO Max], and then against all the odds, somehow it becomes even worse [Max], before inexplicably going back to the stupid thing it was before [HBO Max].' Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery streaming marketing chief Shauna Spenley last week said she was anxiously awaiting Oliver's take on the streamer's name change. Oliver notoriously isn't afraid to go after whatever corporation owns his home network (from Time Warner to AT&T to Warner Bros. Discovery) on his show. 'We just cannot wait for his hot take on this whole rebrand,' Spenley told advertisers during the company's upfront presentation to advertisers last week. 'We think it's going to be pretty hot.' Oliver noted her comments, saying: 'Incidentally, only this week, my parent company apparently said they cannot wait for my hot take on this whole rebrand — believing that whatever I say about this change was going to be pretty hot, so please look me in the eyes when I say this: Fuck you, don't tell me what to do. I'm not gonna do it if you want it unless, wait, hold on, maybe you thought baiting me like that would be a good way to stop me from doing it, but on the other hand, how can a company be that smart when they're the same people that came up with so many stupid fucking names?' The show also featured a brief graphic at the end of the opening credits with the various logos the streamer has used with the caption 'Mutatis Mutandis.' Also during Sunday's show, his 'And Now This' segment featured a humorous montage of various local news outlets' 'pretty hot takes on HBO's latest rebranding.'

Navy will rename the USNS Harvey Milk, named for LGBTQ rights pioneer
A Navy vessel named after celebrated gay rights activist and Navy veteran Harvey Milk will no longer carry his name. NBC News confirmed with the Navy that the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler, will be renamed. No reason was given. The news comes during Pride Month, the dedicated time to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and contributions of the LGBTQ community. After years of devoted activism in San Francisco and across California, Milk became one of the country's first openly gay elected officials, winning a position on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. In 1978, he and Mayor George Moscone were fatally shot at City Hall. His killer, Dan White, a former city supervisor, was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to less than eight years in prison in 1979, sparking a mass protest that turned violent. Milk was portrayed by Sean Penn in the 2008 film 'Milk,' for which Penn won an Academy Award. The USNS Harvey Milk is a 2021 vessel designed to support other ships at sea. The USNS Harvey Milk was introduced in a class of several ships named after civil rights figures, including the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsberg, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Lucy Stone. The group, or class, of ships is collectively called the John Lewis class, honoring the Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who died in 2020. Milk served in the Navy from 1951 to 1955, according to the National Archives. On the USS Chanticleer and the USS Kittiwake, he was an operations officer during the Korean War. In January, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a directive instructing the Pentagon and U.S. military services to abandon any cultural or awareness months. It was titled 'Identity Months Dead at DoD,' citing Women's History Month, LGBTQ Pride Month and Black History Month. Hegseth's Jan. 31 directive said: 'Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department's warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force — to put one group ahead of another — erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution.' Earlier this year, Hegseth also issued an order to restore the name of the North Carolina military base back to Fort Bragg. Its namesake was a Confederate general who owned slaves, and in 2023, the base was renamed Fort Liberty. Hegseth said the new Fort Bragg would be named to honor Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II veteran who earned a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. This article was originally published on
