The first season of the show aired episodes every two weeks, while the second season switched to a weekly format. The streamer confirmed last October that Stewart’s program would not return.

The two gentlemen were talking about federal trade interests and corporate profits when Summers pointed on the glaringly obvious fact that Stewart was hosting a talk show for Apple.
Stewart admitted that all corporations, meaning Apple as well, are gouging customers. “We play the interview for the audience, they explode like we just hit a three-pointer at the buzzer,” Stewart said. “The show ends, we go downstairs in full ‘Rudy’ mode.
