He has returned (in the form of television). The loved — and longed for — his ex Daily show host, Jon Stewart he does what he has done many times before, making jokes about the news on television. Released on September 30 on Apple TV +, The problem with Jon Stewart is a “multi-edition, multi-season series,” which will take a “deep dive into the most important topics that are currently part of the national conversation.” It is unclear whether a single number will occupy an entire season or whether it is a number one episode. What is clear, however, is that this is one of the first times we have seen a show presented as a “multi-season” series before the premiers of the first season.
What is also clear is that we have a new teaser for the show in which Stewart regrets choosing a visual medium. Don’t worry, Jon. There will also be an accompanying podcast. Of course, he’s been on TV a lot since he left The daily show in 2015, even when it plugged in conspiracy theory according to which COVID-19 was created in a laboratory in China. Jon, please don’t do it again.
Here’s Apple’s synopsis for the show:
In this new Apple Original series, Stewart will discuss with people who are affected by the problem, as well as those who have a hand in creating the impact. Together, they will discuss tangible steps that can lead to a solution going forward. The complementary series podcast will expand the conversation of each episode, with staff members from across the show bringing us interviews with space activists, facts about the topic, and, yes, lots of jokes.
Practically since then Last week tonight released, all news edutainment programs have been trying to find a new path to this space. Stewart seems to be following the same path, looking for a “solution” way forward, Apple says. But how many stations will the solution path require? Only time will tell.
