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

Anyone think Stewart cares? He is a mere mouthpiece like all of the MSM. A propagandist.

Firstly, you’d have to have an Apple TV subscription. Even though I used to be an Apple engineer, that ain’t gonna happen.

Jon Stewart was funny on the Daily Show. He'd dish it out to both sides, and with humor and wit, not scorn. He elicited laughs, real laughs, not just applause.

Sure, I always knew he was a lib but he was clever enough to make me laugh, unlike his replacement, Trevor Noah, who might just be the most unfunny male comedian ever.

Sad to see what he's become.

Yeah, he cares, he’s whining about how people are too stupid to figure out how to use Apple TV.

Me either. I haven’t kept up with all these new streaming services.

The Daily Show was a left leaning direct copy of Rush’s show.

Maybe we know about AppleTV but just don’t want to join the Borg. Apple fanatics have been an annoying irritant for years. Screw AppleTV. It’s not like there is a shortage of content out there.

All of these paid streaming services are essentially a “flop” - substandard programming people are needlessly spending money on to fund a woke agenda.

81 Million Biden voters.

Why so few woke subscribers? You would expect a large percentage of these 81 Million voters would be the target audience for this programming.

Something doesn’t make sense....

I watch pretty much everything on Apple TV. Foundation was pretty good even though they went out of their way to feature African British actors and changed male characters into female characters. Still good. Mosquito Coast, the Shrink Next Door, we crashed, suspicion, ptolemy grey, all really good TV. Invasion was ok. Severance is like mist awesome. Highly recommend. I’m watching Slow Horses now.

I know how to use it, but 99.9% of their crap is ‘super-woke’.
I think I remember being able to finish 1 movie on AppleTV.. the one with Tom Hanks about the USS Indianapolis.
