Jon Stewart is just trying to distract us from the fact that the show was a flop and didn't generate enough ratings to justify its existence.
Pretending he walked away because of his ethics, not because few people were watching and his show was not a commercial success.

- pauldenton 3y agoThe Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg. The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March. Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes for a March episode of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” For reference The Daily Show with Jon Stewart had 1 million viewers in 2003, and by the time Jon left the program was averaging 2.5 million viewers.
