    “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 least surprising thing possible to any Jon Stewart fan.

    I can’t wait to see him on the late night shows.

      I can’t imagine any manager who’s dense enough not to know what Stewart’s reaction would be to that sort of line, and whoever suggested a meeting about it should be ashamed.

      The day he runs for president (and wins) will be a day that people full of bullshit will remember as the beginning of the end…
