You always hoped that summer job would lead to something bigger.

For The Daily Show's John Oliver it certain has. 

Oliver was given Jon Stewart's seat on the Daily Show while Stewart himself took the summer off from the show.

Oliver got excellent reviews and now he's getting his own weekly show on HBO. 

"I’m incredibly excited to be joining HBO, especially as I presume this means I get free HBO now," Oliver said in a statement. "I want to thank Comedy Central, and everyone at ‘The Daily Show’ for the best seven and a half years of my life. But most of all, I’d like to thank Jon Stewart. He taught me everything I know. In fact, if I fail in the future, it’s entirely his fault."
