HBO kicked off Wednesday's Television Critics Association Tour session by announcing it has picked up Bill Maher's show, Real Time With Bill Maher, for a 10th season.

"I'm very thankful to be at HBO," Maher said, from the stage at the Beverly Hilton. "I can't believe its been 10 years. I can't believe it's been 20 years since I started with [ABC's] Politically Incorrect."

He noted that he loved being on a network that he himself watches, adding to big laughs, "I've been at other networks where i didn't watch their shit. I never watched Dharma & Greg."

He continued, "I don't understand why other nets don't steal HBO's formula. Hire people you like and trust and let them do their thing."
