Stuart will host and produce a current affairs Siris for Apple TV, plus a subscription based app that competes with companies like Netflix and Disney.

Plus, this will be Stewart's first regular TV gig since his Emmy Award winning comedy talk show ended in 2015.

Apple hasn't announced the show's title or when it will air, but the company said each episode will be an hour.

The show will cover daily news topics alongside Stewart's advocacy work, which has included better healthcare access for wounded veterans and first responders in the 9 11 attacks.

Congress should be down here answering their questions.

Apple also announced a new podcast to accompany the show.

Stewart's irreverent brand of political satire launched him into the spotlight When The Daily Show first aired in the late 19 nineties, the Comedy Central Siri's reached a nightly audience of over two million people.
