Jon Stewart announces new HBO project

A little over two months after he ended his 16-year run on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart is making his return to television with a new project for HBO (Home Box Office).

The cable giant’s deal with the veteran comedian is for four years and includes Stewart creating exclusive “timely short-form digital content” for the company.

HBO also says that additional projects will be announced once they have been decided.

Stewart appears to be happy with his new, less-demanding schedule.

“Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me,” he says. “I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”
