Jon Stewart Explains Apple Had “A Different Agenda” For His Canceled ‘The Problem With Jon Stewart’ Show: They “Don’t Want That Smoke”
Jon Stewart is opening up about the problem with Apple.
In October, The New York Times reported that Apple canceled the comedy show ahead of its third season due to creative differences and execs’ concerns over Stewart’s coverage of topics such as China and AI. Stewart has since temporarily returned to his former post on The Daily Show, where he had Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan as a guest in April after Apple allegedly “asked us not” to have her appear on The Problem ‘s accompanying podcast. “They literally said, ‘Please don’t talk to her,'” he told Khan a month after the U.S. Justice Department and more than a dozen state attorneys general sued Apple, claiming the tech giant holds an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market, which could extend to the entertainment industry and other parts of the economy.
