LOS ANGELES โ Jon Stewart is returning to TV, more than five years after bowing out as host of โThe Daily Showโ and with a new home at Apple TV+.
Stewart will host an hour-long, current affairs series that will explore topics of national interest as well as his advocacy work, the streaming service said Tuesday.
Each season of the show will have a companion podcast to โcontinue the discussion,โ Apple TV+ said.
The platform also has a deal with Stewart and his production company that gives it first shot at other projects.
Stewart, writer and director of the recent film โIrresistible" with Steve Carell and Rose Byrne, is also an executive producer for CBS' โThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.โStewart will be an executive producer along with host of his new Apple TV+ show, with the title yet to be announced.
