Unless John Oliver is next to get the can, HBO has always been a safe spot for true free speech, and he really pushes the envelope. But they may not have room in their schedule for two shows like his.

Please don't say those words out loud. That would be a travesty... I get nervous because he has already been doing this show for 9 years next month and that's kind of getting into show ending territory.

Shows like John Oliver could go 20+ years easily. If he's happy and making the exact show he wants to make, I don't see why he wouldn't keep going. Bill Maher is on season/year 21. And it really can't be that expensive compared to their other tent poles.
