Jon Stewart’s next act will be on HBO.
The former host of “The Daily Show” has struck a four-year production deal with the company just in time for the 2016 election cycle.
“The partnership marks the next phase of Stewart’s groundbreaking career, beginning with short-form digital content, which will be showcased on HBO NOW, HBO GO and other platforms,” HBO said in statement on Tuesday.
In other words, whatever new work he creates will be streaming on the Internet.
Stewart will start by producing “timely short-form digital content,” allowing him to comment on current events, HBO said.
