I hope he finds a way to make content that would have been covered by these episodes anyways. I’d be curious to see what Apple did not want to be released.
I’ll be that guy. The new show was not good, and almost nobody watched it. Apple has only recently shown a willingness to cancel underperforming shows. So this wouldn’t have been a surprise anyway.
I loved him on The Daily Show, but he traded his relevance for Apple’s $$$, and couldn’t even make anything decent out of it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Its cancellation sheds some light on the conflict of priorities Apple faces as it leans more into content rather than just selling tools, platforms, and gadgets.
The New York Times article cites “several people with knowledge of the situation,” saying that staffers working on the show were told at the end of the day Thursday that it would not move forward.
Specifically, they claimed Stewart told staffers that Apple execs took issue with planned programming related to both China and artificial intelligence, and noted that with the 2024 US election coming up, there might have been additional opportunities for disagreement then.
Regarding China, Apple execs may have been worried that Stewart’s planned commentary could alienate customers or partners in the country.
Primarily, it uses machine learning to drive things like search suggestions, photography, and palm detection.
The show’s cancellation is indicative of the kinds of challenges owners of platforms (like Apple, Amazon, Google, and others) face when they are producing content, too.
The original article contains 440 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Man people really take the mask off when it comes to reactionaries being cancelled for being talentless hacks.
Are you really calling John Stewart a talentless hack?

No I’m calling the entire industry of reactionary entertainers talentless hacks.
No I’m calling the entire industry of reactionary entertainers talentless hacks.
And you include checks notes John Stewart in your list of talentless hacks? At this point all that can be definitively concluded is that you are a blithering idiot. His list of accomplishments, accolades and the giant amount of work he has done for the people is only a short wikipedia search away.
Better to be a fool and keep your mouth shut than to open your mouth and confirm it.
About the response I expected.
Maybe the response you expected, but you clearly have no idea of all of his work outside of the daily show. 9/11 first responders ringing a bell? Ohhhh right, it was right wingers blocking first responders form getting medical care. If I was you I’d want to forget all about that shit too.
