William Gallagher
Apple TV+ has announced that "The Problem with Jon Stewart" will resume its second season soon, and will see the host traveling abroad to speak to foreign policy leaders.
As it did with its first season across 2021/2022, "The Problem with Jon Stewart" began its latest run with six episodes in October and November 2022. Now the second season will continue with six more episodes, meaning the show has been extended to at least a dozen editions, compared to the eight of its first year.
"Returning Friday, March 3 and airing weekly, the second season continues with six all-new episodes," says Apple in a press release. "Upcoming interviews include Stewart sitting down with General David Petraeus to discuss defense; State Senator Natham Dahm (R-OK) about crimes and guns; Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) about prison reform and rehabilitation, and for the first time ever the series will travel abroad for Stewart to speak with foreign policy leaders."
The series continues its topical format, with the six editions focusing on a range issues including "crime, defense policy, inflation, the backsliding of democracy and more."
News of the second season's resumption follows the announcement that Jon Stewart will be hosting a livestream discussion and taking calls via the show's YouTube channel.

If you only know Jon Stewart from “The Daily Show,” this isn’t that at all. It’s much more educational, albeit still with some laughs.
I like a good deal of ATV+ content and I like Jon Stewart and I liked the Daily Show. I also know this isn't intended to be a Daily Show replacement whatsoever. I also am a news/politics junkie and like a wide variety of shows in that realm. However, with ALL that said, I just could not get into this even in the slightest. I watched the first two episodes and couldn't bring myself to watch any more.
Great show.
