Jon Stewart Talks About His Split With Apple on Matthew Belloni’s ‘The Town’
Interesting two-part interview, with far more information than we’ve heard about the demise of The Problem With Jon Stewart on Apple TV+. Part two is here; Overcast links to parts one and two; Apple Podcasts links to parts one and two.
Some nuggets:
The split seemed very much amicable. Stewart isn’t one to hold back, and he emphasized repeated there’s no hard feelings. He even professed to getting his morning news in Apple News.
Apple paid the show’s staff for all of season 3, despite cancelling the show before production began. That’s nearly unheard of in the entertainment industry.
Stewart himself admits that season one more or less stunk.
Well worth a listen.
