Jon Stewart May Not Sit Out The 2016 Election, After All

"SNIP..............



The former “Daily Show” host signed a four-year production deal with HBO to make “a few minutes of content now and again” back in November 2015. While the show’s format has not been fully revealed, it will focus on short-form videos geared toward the HBO Now platform, the network’s stand-alone streaming option for cord-cutters. (It might look a little like this.)

Until now, we had no idea exactly when we could expect Stewart’s return to television after leaving “The Daily Show” in August.

But HBO CEO Richard Plepler stated he is “hopeful” that Stewart’s new show would debut on the network before the general election in November at a Paley Media Council talk in New York on Thursday.

Surely the 2016 election cycle is providing a temptingly rich trove of material to work with, so we’ll be keeping a keen eye out for Stewart’s HBO debut in the coming months.

6. And his actions today prove him a liar

He disrespected the USO by breaking his word and spewing a bunch of politics after giving his word he wouldn't. Sad to see his supporters result to such dishonest means to protect him.

[KamaAina]

7. People went to see Jon Stewart and didn't expect him to talk about politics?!

What the hell else was he supposed to talk about? The Mets?

[scscholar]

8. But he gave his word he would stay out of this election!

So now he has proven what his word is worth.

[KamaAina]

9. Was he under oath?

[scscholar]

10. Because the threat of purjery...

is the only reason you think people shouldn't lie? Sad.

[DVRacer]

11. Are you Trevor Noah by chance?

[BootinUp]

17. You sure are worked up over this. He is free to change his mind

like every other human being is. You will find he has a lot of fans at this site.

[DangerousRhythm]

19. ...what?

Lying, because he changed his mind about something he has every right to decide for himself as an adult in the entertainment industry? He's a comedian. What a bizarre charge.

He clearly needed a break, very understandably, and now that he's had one, maybe he's feeling refreshed? It's harming nobody. The only one who should be worried here is Donald Trump.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. Link?

[edhopper]

13. Do you have a quote for that?

He left the Daily Show, he didn't retire.

I find it curious a DU member has a problem with Stewart.

[Hekate]

5. Oh pleeeeeeese come back to us Jon!

[UTUSN]

15. He should run for office.

[applegrove]

18. He's young and smart enough for a whole new career or gig. I would love to see him in office. He's a

good egg. We need more of them running.
