With the TV news satire business being shaken up – Stephen Colbert taking over Late Night from David Letterman on CBS, Jon Stewart exiting The Daily Show – HBO is perhaps wise to hang on to what it has by renewing Last Week Tonight with John Oliver for two more seasons consisting of 35 episodes each.
Of the three such shows left including The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (which is still finding its groove) and the long running Real Time with Bill Maher, Last Week Tonight has consistently been the funniest and the sharpest since the show debuted in April 2014.
