Television host Jon Stewart is taking exception to critics who suggest that his Apple TV+ show is a big flop. Earlier this week, numbers indicated “The Problem with Jon Stewart” appeared in 180,000 homes during its debut in the fall.
Stewart used Twitter to lash out at Breitbart’s John Nolte, the reporter who broke the story.
“Holy S**t!! Just think how bad it’ll get in Season Two!!! And they upped our episode order!! WTF!!!???” Stewart tweeted.
Stewart cryptically responded to critics who doubted his show during its debut episode in the fall.
“Thank you for watching but my guess is you didn’t,” Stewart said to critics during one of his early shows. “You’re probably just going to look at aggregated clips of it somewhere, on YouTube, where you pirate ‘Ted Lasso.’ You don’t even know how to get an Apple TV, do you?”
“The Problem with John Stewart” premiered last September with a limited release of eight episodes for the show’s first season.
Nolte called Stewart a “d–k” who does the same thing CNN’s Jake Tapper does. “Why bother to watch him?” Nolte continued.
Stewart trolled Nolte on social media using the hashtags “No way to run a business and “Get woke go broke.”
