In uncertain times, it’s nice to see a familiar face — albeit one who guided us through another series of uncertain times.
After years away from producing regular, topical television content,Jon Stewartis back in familiar territory, but with a twist. His run hostingThe Daily Showwas iconic, influential, and defining for all who lived during the George W. Bush era. Now, with a new set of folks running our government, and an unfortunately familiar set of social issues, Stewart will be giving usThe Problem with Jon Stewart, a title that promises a sobering look at our nation’s greatest problems while also offering that self-deprecating streak we love Stewart for.
Excited to see Stewart’s take on current events, but unsure where exactly that will be? Fret no further. Here’s exactly how to watchThe Problem with Jon Stewart, alongside any other information you may need about the new current events comedy series.

What Is The Problem with Jon Stewart About?
Here’s the official Apple synopsis: “The Problem With Jon Stewartis a multiple-season, single-issue series with Stewart in discussion with the people who are impacted by the issue — as well as those who have a hand in creating the impact. Together, they will discuss tangible steps that can lead to a solutionary path forward.”
UnlikeThe Daily Show, which aired in 30-minute blocks and usually covered a wide variety of current events and issues,The Problemwill run for one hour, or 60 minutes, and cover just one issue per episode. These issues will be chosen based on their ubiquity within our current culture and be explicitly tracked to Stewart’s advocacy work, meaning that there will be explorations of constructive steps we can all take. PerhapsLast Week Tonight with John Oliver, with its larger emphasis on long-form reporting pieces, is a good touchstone forThe Problem(which makes sense, given thatJohn Olivercut his teeth in the political satire space on Stewart’sDaily Show).
