What is the production schedule for Last Week Tonight?  Will it take weeks-long 
breaks like Real Time (though the length of those breaks is much smaller than 
they used to be), or is the plan for something like the 40-ish weeks a year the 
TDS/TCR/@midnight programs do?

My takeaway from the hiatus is simpler and not revolving around any 
behind-the-scenes friction at The Bugle. Instead, in pragmatic terms, Oliver 
found himself with two topical shows, having to choose which show got his best 
material. The Bugle is produced earliest in the week, but he gets next to no 
money for it, so he found himself saving his good stuff for HBO, which wasn't 
fair to the Bugle. I think if you look at recent Bugles, there is more reaction 
from Oliver than contribution. So for the sake of both shows, better to not 
produce them at the same time.
