As part of an expansive, multi-year deal with Apple, the Emmy-drenched former writer, producer and host ofis 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.follow-up is a major coup.
Stewart and his Busboy Productions will also have a first-look deal for other projects to be developed and produced for Apple. To date, his resume includes producing credits on bothThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert,
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..

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!!!!
