Comedy Central might be losing Jon Stewart, but HBO is making sure they stay in business with John Oliver until at least 2017.
The network Tuesday announced they've renewed Last Week Tonight with John Oliver for a third and fourth season, each to consist of 35 shows.
"We are incredibly proud to have John as part of the HBO family,” said HBO president Michael Lombardo. "His unique ability to deliver socially significant commentary week after week, along with his innate comedic brilliance, puts John in a class by himself."
Now in its second season, John Oliver's satirical week-in-review Sunday night program has won much praise from critics and the public for being a perfect blend of smart, frank and funny.
Most recently, it took on tobacco companies and state lotteries.
Just this weekend, the program earned a Writers Guild Award in the comedy/variety series category.
