Apple’s description of the show:
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the world’s problems. It’s harder to pinpoint the systems responsible for creating them. In this series, Jon Stewart brings together people impacted by different parts of a problem to discuss one big question: How do we come up with change?
We first caught wind of this project in October 2020, but it wouldn’t be until June 2021 that Apple official confirmed that “The Problem with Jon Stewart” was being worked on. The company also acknowledged that this is the first in a string of projects co-produced by Apple TV+ and Jon Stewart. Concretely, Apple signed a first-look deal with Stewart and his production company, dubbed Busboy Productions.
