THE PROBLEM WITH JON STEWART to Return on March 3

Apple has announced new episodes of the Emmy Award and Writers Guild Award-nominated Apple TV+ original series "The Problem With Jon Stewart."

Returning Friday, March 3 and airing weekly, the second season continues with six all-new episodes on topics including crime, defense policy, inflation, the backsliding of democracy and more.

Upcoming interviews include Stewart sitting down with General David Petraeus to discuss defense; State Senator Natham Dahm (R-OK) about crimes and guns; Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) about prison reform and rehabilitation, and for the first time ever the series will travel abroad for Stewart to speak with foreign policy leaders.

Acclaimed host, writer, producer, director and advocate Jon Stewart, recipient of the 2022 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, leads with compassion and humor as he takes a deep dive into some of the most important issues of our time.
