I think Some More News is pretty much exactly what you're looking for.
some of the humor is a bit sophomoric at times. I get the impression they're trying to appeal to teenagers and young people who are interested in politics and current events (providing a left-leaning alternative to sources like PragerU, essentially)
but it's well researched and they make a point of citing their sources, both in the video by showing the headline and news outlet they're referencing, as well as with a Google doc linked in the video description with all the relevant links.
Jon Stewart has a show on Apple+: The Problem with Jon Stewart. More of a weekly topic-du-jour show akin to Last Week Tonight though, as opposed to the more freewheeling Daily Show.
I really enjoyed watching "A Closer Look" excerpts on YouTube to recap the day's political craziness; Seth Myers has great chemistry with his audience and staff. Unfortunately the writers strike has put the whole show on hold, but keep an eye out for it if/when the strike is resolved.
The one I'm familiar with is Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Week_Tonight_with_John_Oliver
