Apple recently canceled Jon Stewart’s commentary series on TV+. That’s either because Apple disliked season three topics or ratings were too low (or both but probably the former).

Comedy Central, of course, has been on the hunt for a new Daily Show host since Stewart’s successor Trevor Noah left the chair. That hunt will continue as Stewart is only on through 2024. The show’s “corespondents” will shuffle hosting duties otherwise.

Stewart, who shares being fired by Apple with Steve Jobs, once ended a Daily Show episode with Jobs’ Stanford commencement address as the Moment of Zen. Let’s do the same:
