I don’t know if it’s about him having enough money (not that he doesn’t have a lot, I’m sure), or if he just has principles. The causes he leads and participates in outside of his comedy/media career points to that I think.
On The Daily Show on April 8, 2024, in an interview with FTC Chair Lina Khan, Stewart discussed some of his problems with Apple, and said that when he wanted to have Khan on the show,
"Apple asked us not do it … They literally said'please don’t talk to her’."[15]
Apple tried that, it didn’t work out for them.
Apple’s attempt an censorship made it really clear Stewart has whatever he feels is a “fuck you” level of money.
If he stays it’ll be on his own terms.
