Less than three months after signing off from "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart has signed an exclusive four-year production deal with HBO, the network announced Tuesday.
"Jon Stewart led a revolution that changed the face of TV comedy on the 'Daily Show,'" said HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo in a news release.
With his move to HBO, Stewart is following the footsteps of former "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver, who scored his own show, "Last Week Tonight," at the network following a well-received run as Stewart's fill-in.
The Stewart collaboration is the latest in a string of programming coups for the premium-cable giant, including partnerships with the producers of "Sesame Street" and former ESPN commentator Bill Simmons.
