Jon Stewart Returns With Current Affairs Series for Apple

"As part of an expansive, multiyear deal with Apple, the Emmy-drenched former writer, producer and host of The Daily Show is set to front an all-new current affairs series for the streaming service. The show, which will run for multiple seasons, puts Stewart back in the anchor’s chair as he explores a host of topics at the center of both the national conversation and his own advocacy work.

The still-untitled show, which will feature hourlong, single-subject episodes, will be executive produced by Stewart through his company Busboy Productions. In his role as EP, he’ll be joined by his longtime manager James Dixon and former HBO chief Richard Plepler, who via his EDEN Productions also has a rich deal at Apple. A showrunner for the forthcoming series, for which Apple is expected to offer a companion podcast, has yet to be named."

"And until recently, he had had a long-term production deal at HBO, where he had a first-look deal and was quietly prepping a timely, animated shortform series, which he and HBO ultimately pulled the plug on for technical reasons. While sources say HBO made a play for Stewart’s latest on-air foray, the latter ultimately landed at Apple, where it's expected to begin rolling out next year."

Im gonna be real and say I don't need Jon Stewart back and his Daily Show run has lead to way too many imitators where the format is saturated

Seinfeld effect?

EXACTLY or the Friends effect or Simpsons effect the effect of any popular thing really that is unique and gets copied.

He could’ve done a YouTube show/podcast and it’d have had the same effect

Wouldn't pay him upfront the same and that's what this about

What kind of work is he doing nowadays? No mainstream news or commentary is worth watching anymore.

He put out Irresistible

Daily Show owes everything to George W. Bush and Fox News

No ones gonna care about this new s*** except annoying liberals unless he goes left field and hires a bunch of real niggas to write for him like Godfrey and Neal Brennan

He just does stand up now he was on a tour run with Dave and John Mayer for a bit too.

Bout to be the same for alot of these people Colbert and them taking an L if Trump leaves cause they not gonna hold any audience.

This prolly a better show to announce after We know who wins but it's no point in Jon Stewart if Joe wins.

None of his criticisms are gonna be as harsh niether

Fallon won in the end with his kiddy games

LETS GO
