Jon Stewart will be hanging his hat at HBO. The former Daily Show host inked a four-year deal to create short-form digital content for HBO Go and HBO Now, focusing on current events. “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me,” said Stewart. “I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.” The agreement with HBO also has a first-look option for TV and film projects.
