The Problem With Jon Stewart: Season 1 | Reviews

You hear that comedians, in this day and age, are a better source of insight than the news. This successor to The Daily Show from Jon Stewart, the grandmaster of satirical news, is a prime example. It offers the kind of well-argued and balanced analysis you crave.

IndieWire

Unsure of its place in a vast news world and reluctant to lean into its host’s established strengths, the early problem with The Problem is that it doesn’t know what it is yet...

The Guardian

Dull, derivative, and far from funny...

The New York Times

Surprisingly, the comedy is the shakiest part early on...

Rolling Stone

(It) feels like Stewart's attempt to evolve what he used to do for a new era. He just hasn't figured out how to do it yet...

Variety

Whereas The Daily Show used Stewart’s prickly dissatisfaction as a comedic engine, his new show spotlights it with a more focused determination.

Decider

With the steady hand of Stewart at the helm, even the bumpier, less funny episodes will be informative about issues that are pretty damned serious.

Vanity Fair

It'll take time for the show to resolve into what it can do best, but in the meantime, it is nice to have (Stewart) back around.

Salon

The Problem with Jon Stewart is a work in progress, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Chicago Sun-Times

Funny, thought-provoking...

Time Magazine

The show's success will ultimately depend on its specificity and timeliness.
