Looks terrible

His voice has been so missed 🙏

Why? I am sure the world isn’t lacking on lies...

Apple TV+ -really?!? -- thanks Jon Stewart from TheDailyShow for making your show inaccessible to most! Need the money, eh?! Screw you for abandoning us years ago! StillBitter

joerogan brought him back

This is just in -- The price of tea in China just reported to be holding steady today. Expected to either go up a half a cent tomorrow or go down half a cent. Perhaps it may even stay even again!

welp, i got that free subscription thanks to a phone upgrade.

Finally!! 😄

He looks rough..

SubyWill

Jon Stewart having an Apple TV+ show might actually make me check out the service

Snooze.

He literally took the Trump presidency off... wtf?

probably the only way to get me to pay for Apple TV+

He's too old.

He's too old.

Aaaannnnnnndd it will still suck!!

Can it premiere this week?

The king has returned...

Much has changed since he hosted Daily Show. Bullshit Mountain is occasionally the voice of reason. It's a mad house!

Jacobs71 Serious question... Is John OK physically? At first glance, I thought I was looking at a Steve Jobs pic. Wow he has thinned with age.

Not in time for this very important election

Thank god for a snippet of good news for once!! Man, I’ve missed this guy’s voice. ❤️

I’m thinking he made a deal to lay low til this administration was over. Am I right?

Oh hell to the yes.

YES

Why Apple? Would've loved a 1-2 punch on HBO

Buen proyecto para andykusnetzoff

Dang. He is aging fast.

Damn dude TheDailyShow JonStewart you got that 2020AgedMe20Years look.

The timing seems crazy and extremely dependent on a Biden win. If the lunatic clown is re-elected, every episode will have to address the latest lies and horrors. I’m sure his voice will be valuable, regardless.

Is he Gonna apologize to Hillary and her supporters 🤔 or he’s ok with racist rapist madman traitor trump burning down our democracy and stomping on our human rights? It’s good being a rich white man in America

Jon signed a deal with HBO. HBO fired their CEO. Jon signed with Apple, with that ex-HBO CEO as Executive Producer. Warner really botched this

Not sure if he's still got it, but when he left The Daily Show, he certainly took it with him. Including the audience.

He better hope Trump wins...or he won’t have any good material

DAMN HE GOT OLD

Wow, I hope he is doing ok? Looks have changed quite a bit over the past few years

Because everyone watches Apple

We needed him but Colbert really has done a bang up job. I’ve missed Jon! I’ll watch for sure.

Finally!! 🥳

Trevor Noah is like, but you said

Thank goodness! Looking forward to it. I also do really like Trevor Noah. Now we get both.

Yes! He has been missed

I'm here for that !

How'd they bring him back? Tim 'Apple':

awesome!

he defo picked the wrong time to duck out

snoozer alert

Liberal jag off..

Good. I miss Remote Control.

YESSS!!!!
