Jon Stewart’s return to TV will be on HBO Now ‘multiple’ times a day
Even after leaving the Daily Show behind, apparently Jon Stewart just couldn’t stay away. HBO just announced it has signed a four year production deal with the TV host that will kick off with “short form digital content.” He’s apparently working with the graphics company OTOY on new technology that will allow him to create and post digital content “multiple times throughout the day” (we’re going to guess that means Snapchat, but who knows). Beyond being “the game streaming service you’ve never heard of” OTOY has been working on tech for virtual reality video streams you can move around in, although there’s no word on exactly what it will do here. According to Stewart “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”
