RutgersJetFan Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yep, his bits on Ferguson and the Scottish Independence vote were pretty awesome too. His segment on climate change might legit be the best breakdown I've ever seen on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I dunno what he get's paid for the HBO once a week show. But if had waited another 12 months he would have been the natural successor to Jon Stewart OR even got Steven Colbert's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product he puts out on hbo is so much superior over a daily censored show on basic cable it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Agreed. I am speaking from the viewpoint of if he missed a bigger payday. I don't think he cares. He renewed with HBO for two more seasons after Stewart announced his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can swear on HBO. I am not sure if he doesn't care for more money. I don't have the relevant information. I also don't know the framework under which his extension happened. For example did he have the option to leave. Most times these first time extensions happen under the framework of the initial contract. Like no matter what his pay cannot exceed a certain dollar amount OR the extension has to be for only certain number of years OR he has no option to leave if the network wants to extend him and so on. But i am sure he got good leverage to get the max he could within the framework of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still make a lot of money doing standup especially at colleges. He'll definitely end up hosting awards shows like the oscars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
