Six years after he ceded that desk to Trevor Noah, Stewart is now coming back to television as a sort of exhausted elder statesman of late night. Answers to the broader questions surrounding his return \u2014 why now, and what for? \u2014 need some time to crystallize. So in the meantime, \u201cThe Problem\u201d begins by showing the audience a behind the scenes slice of Stewart and his new writing team brainstorming what, exactly, \u201cThe Problem\u201d should look like.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart, now grayer and more casual in a T-shirt versus his rumpled \u201cDaily Show\u201d suit, asks his writing team, now smaller and more inclusive of people with experience outside of being a white guy at the Harvard Lampoon, what this show even is. There\u2019s a clear opportunity here \u2014 years after his defining gig, with carte blanche on a streaming service like <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le TV Plus \u2014 for Stewart to do something completely unlike anything he\u2019s done before. Instead, he points back to the 2010 \u201cDaily Show\u201d episode in which they dropped the show\u2019s typical format for Stewart to interview several Sept. 11 first responders whose health continued to suffer. \u201cLet\u2019s have the first act be a sort of mall map \u2014 \u2018you are here\u2019 \u2014 for whatever issue we\u2019re dealing with,\u201d he says, suggesting that the second act (\u201cor whatever\u201d) be a panel discussion in which he can talk more directly with \u201cthe stakeholders\u201d of that particular issue. The \u201cDaily Show\u201d first responders panel was both unlike anything Stewart had done on the show before and has since become a seminal moment of his career, so it\u2019s not altogether surprising to hear it come up in the brainstorm process for his next TV chapter. But it is interesting, at least, to watch him work through the question of what he can bring to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> in 2021 by mining his own past for a candid, more personal approach. Stewart is well aware that bringing his perspective back to television, at a time when both the medium and the world look vastly different from those he left behind even just six years ago, requires him to strike a tricky balance between appealing to \u201cDaily Show\u201d nostalgia and twisting his own approach into a slightly different shape.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing its \u201cmall map,\u201d \u201cThe Problem with Jon Stewart\u201d unfolds over 40 some-odd minutes that feel more akin to Stewart\u2019s straight-talking \u201cDaily Show\u201d than not. The supersized, specific focus of these episodes also inevitably recalls \u201cLast Week Tonight with John Oliver,\u201d the HBO juggernaut that has Stewart\u2019s former correspondent deliver dense, indignant weekly monologues every Sunday. When \u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d premiered in 2014, its weekly deep dives into a single thorny topic represented a significant creative swing. Now, it\u2019s a hit and perennial Emmys favorite that\u2019s become a road map for how late-night TV can capture attention without losing out on the details, and \u201cThe Problem\u201d clearly took note.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>\u2019 first episode, Stewart uses his new platform to highlight a grave injustice that, he says with some vague hope, might truly be \u201csomething bipartisan and noncontroversial.\u201d This is a bit of a surprising qualifier given that the premiere is titled \u201cThe Problem With War,\u201d but as the episode continues, it\u2019s clear that a more accurate title would have been \u201cVeterans.\u201d You could draw a straight line from the \u201cDaily Show\u201d episode Stewart highlighted to this premiere, particularly as he invites on several veterans and their partners to explain the simple, devastating truth of how the U.S. government cast them aside once they were no longer useful. Given the episode\u2019s title and the show\u2019s overall focus on being a better citizen of the world, it might have been useful to also consider the effects of \u201cWar\u201d and the burn pits on people who already lived in these countries before U.S. troops took over. That doesn\u2019t quite fit the \u201cbipartisan and noncontroversial\u201d brief, though, and so it goes unsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than tackle the overwhelming ineptitude of the V.A. at large, Stewart hosts a frank, if abbreviated, discussion on the long-lasting health effects of manning \u201cburn pits,\u201d the drastic measure U.S. troops used to burn any and all waste while deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also ventures outside the studio as a correspondent \u2014 a role he never played on \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d \u2014 to confront Secretary of Veteran Affairs Dennis McDonough, who grows increasingly frustrated with Stewart\u2019s repeated request to say why, exactly, bureaucracy should be holding up crucial healthcare. Unlike \u201cDaily Show\u201d interviews, conducted by correspondents like Oliver and Stephen Colbert donning hyperbolic personas, Stewart is entirely himself: firm, curious and impatient to call out bullshit when he sees it.<\/p>\n<p>The second episode of \u201cThe Problem,\u201d airing Oct. 14, focuses on the even more vast topic of \u201cFreedom.\u201d Stewart begins by mocking the continuing anti-mask and anti-vaccine movements within the United States before speaking with dissidents from countries where personal freedom has become a precious commodity. These topics give Stewart more room to use actual punchlines (the first episode\u2019s grave sense of purpose leaves little room for levity), and even one of his signature, sputtered exclamations of \u201cwhat the <em>fuck<\/em>?\u201d The interview panel \u2014 featuring an Egyptian comedian, Venezuelan lawyer and Filipino journalist \u2014 is no less pointedly structured than the veterans\u2019 one, but the episode also allows it more time and room to explore the topic beyond its most basic bullet points. \u201cFreedom\u201d seems at first glance like a more natural fit for a series premiere than \u201cWar,\u201d though that\u2019s probably because the audience knows better where to laugh in the punchier second episode.<\/p>\n<p>In both episodes, Stewart guides the studio audience from outright comedy bits to sincere monologues and back again. Now speaking from behind a long wooden table while wearing a sweatshirt and bomber jacket instead of a suit, he sheds any trappings of parody to shrug on an ostensibly casual vibe that\u2019s nevertheless just as meticulously calculated as his \u201cDaily Show\u201d persona. Stewart\u2019s not just delivering <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> and jokes; he\u2019s drawing an even more direct parallel than ever between himself and his audience of similarly exasperated citizens who basically agree with what he has to say. For as much as \u201cThe Problem\u201d depends on the charisma of its host, it\u2019s also loud about including voices and perspectives outside its hosts own, whether in sporadic clips of the writers\u2019 room or interviews with people more directly invested in the topic at hand. Still, as with any talk show, \u201cThe Problem\u201d is more or less built to support Stewart\u2019s own conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>In its initial outing, not a whole lot of \u201cThe Problem\u201d feels particularly surprising or brand new. Its most immediately compelling aspect, then, is the restless undercurrent thrumming throughout. Whereas \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d used Stewart\u2019s prickly dissatisfaction as a comedic engine, his new show spotlights it with a more focused determination. It\u2019s almost as he left the \u201cRally to Restore Sanity (and\/or Fear)\u201d he threw years ago with Colbert and realized that such a restoration might require more than pointing out the obvious fact of a world gone mad. Even when \u201cThe Problem\u201d indulges that impulse, its best moments come from pushing past its first \u201cwhat the fuck?!\u201d instinct to the bigger, thornier question of, \u201cwhat now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The first episode of \u201cThe Problem\u201d is now available to stream on Apple TV Plus.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
