According to a new report, notoriously liberal comedian John Stewart’s new show ‘The Problem with Jon Stewart’ has become an absolute flop since its launch.

As The New York Post reports:

“The Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg.

The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March.

Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes for a March episode of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” Samba TV reported.

Stewart refused to comment on the bad news but he did hint at the troubles his show was having in during a recent monologue:

“Thank you for watching but my guess is you didn’t,” he said at the end of the premiere episode of his show. “You’re probably just going to look at aggregated clips of it somewhere, on YouTube, where you pirate ‘Ted Lasso.’ You don’t even know how to get Apple TV, do you?”

  1. Jon Stewart is a blithering idiot who’s
    playing the wrong side of the field.
    TV would be much better if he just
    disappeared.

  2. President Donald Trump is not the joke! Joseph R. Biden #46 is THE BIG JOKE! Let this be a lesson for those wishing to be “something” they clearly aren’t!!! I will probably have to “Wait For Approval”?

  3. Who is Ted Lasso and I thought Stewart retired. It would be great if he went back to being a late night host, to replace the f7cktard Colbert! Yes he was a Trump hater as all of them are. Maybe he’s grown past it! I did think he had some comedic value to his show, which ALL are completely lacking now!

    1. Unlike with the rest of the late night “comedians”, I also enjoyed a laugh or two from Stewart when he was doing that, despite his obvious leftwing agenda. On the rare occasions that I catch Oliver, I have the same reaction. Though I know he hates Pres. Trump (and all things MAGA), the man has undeniable comic timing and can certainly give me a chuckle.

  4. I love it…
    Meanwhile, Joe Rogan has 10 million followers on his zero budget podcast!
    The legacy liberal media and channels don’t understand that the vast majority of Americans don’t want any part of their crap, from their FAKE NEWS to their STUPID LIBERAL ATTACKS on everything good about America.
    I hope all the legacy news organizations go bankrupt–soon.

  5. Liberals (Marxists, communists) and comedy are not compatible! All they can do is spew HATE against the ones they don’t like. Their boot-licking sycophants might enjoy that but it is not comedic.
    The Washington ComPOST is cancelling the WH correspondents’ dinner due to COVID. Do you remember that WITCH comedienne several years ago who thrilled her toadies with a barrage of hate speech?
