Yes! 3 more years of a weekly dose of things I didn’t know to be angry about.
Thanks John, we’re all gonna age another 10 years by the end of this contract.
Why didn’t Stewart go to HBO or them to him? You’d think a double block of Jon John would be a slam dunk. Apple was a dumb idea from the start. The last thing I associate with Stewart is a corporation like Apple.

Interesting. Thank you
i gotta wonder: how much longer will he keep doing this show? he’s been at it for almost 10 years at this point, and, by the end, it will be 13+ years. I mean, i’m thrilled to have him keep going, but i’m afraid he’ll get tired of it. Jon Stewart bowed out of TDS after a little over 15 years…
In Conan’s interview with John Oliver, they go into it a bit.
Long story short: the weekly show takes a lot of the pressure off and HBO was willing to pay the same amount to Oliver for less shows because he promised the quality would go up.
It did.
Conan discussed how doing a nightly show nearly killed him because it’s just so much you have to do for each episode. It’s why he loves the fact that he moved 100% to podcasts.
Interesting! Was this a podcast or TV interview?
I think he’s not doing a show anymore but I could be wrong.
