'The Problem With Jon Stewart' Teaser Trailer Announces A September Premiere Date

Comedian, writer, producer, director, political commentator, actor, and television host Jon Stewart left “The Daily Show” in 2015, one year before Trump was elected into office and in retrospect, was that the worst timing of a TV host exit in the history of the medium? In the meantime, Stewart’s done activism (helping out 9/11 families get what they’re owed and pressuring congress) and directing films (2020’s political satire “Irresistible“). Six years later and partly due to AppleTV+ likely driving up a dump truck of money to his house, Stewart is back with “The Problem With Jon Stewart,” which announced its premiere date, September 30, 2021, in a new teaser trailer.
