I see some sort of streaming show or HBO. No way he and his writing team all leave the US. I don’t even know who could give him a decent platform anyway
As much as I would love an uncensored Colbert, HBO Max/Max/HBO already has John Oliver. And they kinda occupy the same entertainment niche. They are not going to cannibalize their own ratings of that big draw.
They could do it,the same way everyone was on Comedy Central. That worked and they complimented each other. Besides, Oliver is once a week. I bet a lot of people, myself included, already watch both of the shows
I wouldn’t have a problem with that. I gave Maher a shot a few years ago, but just couldn’t take it. I don’t understand what role Maher fills. He’s not progressive, but doesn’t have conservative cred either. I’m sure he thinks he’s being authentically moderate, but he seems like a sleeper right-wing shill
I hope he uses this to go off the rails going into the election summer
He’s done in March 2026 though.
I thought he said May, but, anyway, I said going into the election summer
Edit : the midterms
Oh, my bad, it is May. I hope just his show going off the air helps drive enough attention to whatever he does next.
At least there’s a decent amount of time for his team to plan a new project, or leave the US or whatever.

Very true. Just something on the snoo site that I liked. What if HBO fired bill Maher and replaced him with Colbert.
