Jon Stewart is returning to the airwaves, via a four-year production deal with HBO. The deal includes short content for HBO, HBO Now, and HBO Go and a first-look option for other feature and serial projects.
Mr Stewart, who left The Daily Show this past August, said, “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.†He had previously appeared on HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show from 1996 to 1998.
At HBO, Mr Stewart joins fellow Daily Show alumnus John Oliver, who hosts Last Week Tonight.
