Apple scraps Jon Stewart show over China, AI clashes: report

By Agence France-Presse
Published October 21, 2023 7:53AM ET

US comedian Jon Stewart's talk show on Apple TV+ has reportedly been canceled after just two series due to clashes between its host and the company over topics such as China and artificial intelligence.

Stewart told staff that executives from Apple -- which has vast commercial interests in China and AI -- had expressed concern over proposed new content for "The Problem with Jon Stewart," The New York Times said.

Apple did not immediately respond to AFP's request for comment.

He wouldn’t accept Apple’s censorship, so he canceled himself.
