Why didn't Stewart go to HBO or them to him? You'd think a double block of Jon John would be a slam dunk. Apple was a dumb idea from the start. The last thing I associate with Stewart is a corporation like Apple.

Have you seen the intro to his show? It answers some of that.

I actually have not seen any of it. I heard about it going to apple, filed it away as "that's an odd choice", and then heard about it being cancelled.

Got a link? I'm assuming you mean Stewart, not Oliver...

I've never seen this show but man, that's just a really good intro

I'm sorry, I must be confused. I have to pay for a Vimeo account to watch an intro for a show on a different paid service...?

Not blaming you or anything, but that's ridiculous. I can't even find out if I'd enjoy the show without entering my credit card details!

You are confused. The video plays fine, no logging in or paying.

I've never paid for Vimeo. You can also just Google to find the Apple theme for The Problem with Jon Stewart, which is what I did.
