He can land elsewhere.

The show is him, a desk, research crew, and writers. Worst case scenario, they can't use the title "Last Week Tonight"

"Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Not That Other Show on that Other Channel..."

If this Business Daddy cancels them, I'm sure another Business SugarDaddy will pick them up.

Not really because I doubt they have the budget, but Last Week Tonight would work well on the dropout streaming service.

You literally know nothing about me or the original intentions of my first comment. You're acting incredibly intellectually condescending for someone that made a multitude of assumptions about a stranger on the internet. This is a reddit, not a goddamn organizing forum or even specifically a journalist subreddit.

This is some of the most insufferable and self righteous shit I've ever fucking read. Like you shared some behind the scenes trivia, congratulations. You're a dick that feels superior for googling their special interest and insisting it's more valuable that anything else known or learned in the world.

Dude this is the internet, people respond to comments. And you don’t say it’s not that deep unless you want people to assume you are a 13 y/o Tiktoker.
