Apple TV+ has reportedly canceled “The Problem With Jon Stewart” due to “creative differences” between Stewart and Apple executives, reports The New York Times.
The NYT report says members of the show’s staff were told of the cancellation on Thursday, just a few weeks before episodes of the third season were set to roll.
The editorial disagreements were reportedly over some of the planned guests on “The Problem,” as well as potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence that were causing concern among Apple executives. (China is makes up a large portion of Apple’s revenue.) Apple did not respond to NYT‘s request for comment.
Apple signed a multi-year pact in 2020 with the former host of “The Daily Show.” The deal marked Stewart’s return to television following a 2015 retirement.
