i would totally help crowdfund a jon stewart show
I understand that Apple relies on cheap Chinese labour...
Probably more related to the fact that various Chinese banking companies have combined assets in the tens of trillions and if they say jump, or tell someone who relies on them to tell you to jump, then you jump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But ahead of production kicking off on the show’s third season, Stewart and Apple have reportedly parted ways over “creative differences,” and The Problem is coming to an end.
Though new episodes of the show were scheduled to begin shooting in just a few weeks, staffers learned today that production had been halted.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ahead of its decision to end The Problem, Apple approached Stewart directly and expressed its need for the host and his team to be “aligned” with the company’s views on topics discussed.
Rather than falling in line when Apple threatened to cancel the show, Stewart reportedly decided to walk.
The Times’ report doesn’t detail what about the show’s planned coverage of artificial intelligence and China prompted Apple’s executive leadership to butt heads with Stewart.
But considering how pointed criticality is a big part of what ultimately made The Problem With Jon Stewart a hit for Apple TV Plus and how maintaining a cordial relationship with China is crucial to Apple’s future plans for growth, it doesn’t come as a shock to see the show hit the chopping block this way.

Sorry, Jon. This country is owned.
He knows. He's the one who's been trying to teach that to the rest of us for decades now.
It would be on brand for Stewart, but these last two weeks have thought me one thing: wait for confirmation and watch the development before reacting
Well, I guess we’ve now unofficially confirmed that, despite the fact that Siri is still terrible, Apple is also investing a shitload of money in large language models behind the scenes.
