Jon Stewart kicks off his Daily Show Monday night residency by coming to grips with the reality of America's two chronologically challenged presidential cand...
A few things probably, because CC surely isn’t throwing money around.
He needed a break
Apple cancelled his other show because he talked shit about some things they didn’t like, effectively censoring him.
That’s what the opening here was about with the topics he feels free to discuss on TDS. He doesn’t want to be boxed in, and TDS gives him the platform to say what he wants to say, and just doing Mondays is a fair way to get involved again as a creative voice on the show, and let everyone else associated with it get reinvigorated about it as well after months of it being in limbo. I expect the ratings to climb again now that he’s back. The content of this one show speaks for itself. He’s great here.
I mean clearly not. The dude took years off after the Daily Show, made this Apple show, it gets shitcanned because Apple is Apple and Jon is now upset he doesn’t have a platform anymore. That’s not looking for a break. That’s looking for a platform. Now that’s perfectly fine because plenty of people do that bit it’s kinda ridiculous for him or anyone to assume he’s looking for a break when he’s actively increasing his workload considering he was unemployed three weeks ago.
You’re talking about now, but your original question was asking why he left in the first place, which I answered for. He took a break, the Apple situation sucked, so now he wants to be involved in the space and this is how. Nothing wrong with that. Listen to his closing, and it seems he’s even addressing that fact.

No. It literally was not. I have no idea what you read to think that but I didn’t ask that. I asked why he went back, not why he quit.
Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you suddenly and magically right. Just entrenches me more into my position that Daily Show fans have been some of the most insufferable fans on any comedy show on the planet and makes me want to root for Jon and this shows failure even more. Not that it needs it considering it sucks so bad they had to bring him back to try and save it.
Yeah he doesn’t need a break now or perhaps one day per week is enough … he literally said that he was looking for an outlet for his opinions or whatever on the upcoming election.
What’s funny or sad is that I saw an interview where they were talking about his influence and Jon was saying that he had little influence because most of the things he didn’t want to happen have happened over his career.

No Apple cancelled his show after he wouldn’t back down about an episode he had planned about China, Apple backed down because they are China’s bitch.
