    He needed a break

    I mean clearly not. The dude took years off after the Daily Show, made this Apple show, it gets shitcanned because Apple is Apple and Jon is now upset he doesn’t have a platform anymore. That’s not looking for a break. That’s looking for a platform. Now that’s perfectly fine because plenty of people do that bit it’s kinda ridiculous for him or anyone to assume he’s looking for a break when he’s actively increasing his workload considering he was unemployed three weeks ago.

      You’re talking about now, but your original question was asking why he left in the first place, which I answered for. He took a break, the Apple situation sucked, so now he wants to be involved in the space and this is how. Nothing wrong with that. Listen to his closing, and it seems he’s even addressing that fact.

        No. It literally was not. I have no idea what you read to think that but I didn’t ask that. I asked why he went back, not why he quit.

      Yeah he doesn’t need a break now or perhaps one day per week is enough … he literally said that he was looking for an outlet for his opinions or whatever on the upcoming election.

      What’s funny or sad is that I saw an interview where they were talking about his influence and Jon was saying that he had little influence because most of the things he didn’t want to happen have happened over his career.
