Jon Stewart is leaving late-night, again.
The Problem with Jon Stewart has been canceled at Apple after two seasons.
The New York Times, which first reported the story, said the move came amid creative differences between the former host of The Daily Show and the tech giant. Topics such as China and AI reportedly were causing concern among Apple executives, the paper said.
Staff was told Thursday ahead of the start production on its third season.
The second season of The Problem with Jon Stewart premiered in October 2022 and its 12-episodes ran through April. It comes after the show secured an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Talk Series alongside Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
Brinda Adhikari served as showrunner and exec produced alongside Stewart’s manager, James Dixon, and Richard Plepler through his Eden Productions, which has an overall production deal with Apple. Chelsea Devantez was head writer and Lorrie Baranek was supervising producer.
