Jon Stewart's 'super-woke' Apple TV+ show a 'flop': Report

Stewart decried the American Dream as a 'fallacy' for anyone who isn’t White in a recent episode

--------------------------

Former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart’s woke new series "The Problem with Jon Stewart" has been dubbed a flop, according to new reports.

Stewart’s Apple TV+ show, which debuted in September, averaged only about 180,000 U.S. homes within the first week. By the fifth episode in March, viewership went down 78% to only 40,000 U.S. homes within seven days, according to Bloomberg.

By comparison, Samba TV reported approximately 844,000 U.S. homes tuned in to a March episode of HBO Max’s "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" hosted by fellow comedian John Oliver.

Stewart’s latest show was previously panned by many news outlets after its initial release. The series has also been blasted by online viewers for offering "super-woke" and "anti-White" takes.

In two episodes that aired in March, Stewart insinuated that British-American author Andrew Sullivan was racist by agreeing with a guest accusing Sullivan of perpetuating "racist, dog-whistle tropes." A separate episode featured Democratic Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., calling out Stewart for suggesting "White resentment" led to White people opposing financial aid to Black farmers.

"No, no … When you say White farmers, if I'm a White farmer listening to this in Iowa I'm thinking to myself, 'Jon Stewart's calling me – Jon Stewart's blaming me for stopping Booker's legislation.' That's not true," Booker said.

Apple TV+ has declined to release its viewership numbers

A separate episode featured Democratic Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., calling out Stewart for suggesting "White resentment" led to White people opposing financial aid to Black farmers.

That's not true," Booker said.

When Cory Booker says a person is 'going too far' calling all white farmers 'racist' then that person is going too far. Steward's heart might be in the right place (on some levels)

but Jon doesn't understand racial politics. And it's NOT 1964...
