His AppleTV show, The Problem With Jon Stewart is pretty good. Makes them less often, but digs much deeper into a single subject.

I find it to be grating. He seems frustrated that we haven't solved all of our problems despite the fact that that he's satirized them so skillfully. He comes across as an aging crank who is more than a little bitter.

Have you seen his fight for veterans' and 911 first responders' healthcare? With the way the government has chewed him up and spit him(and all veterans) out, I'd be bitter too.

That's fair enough. Maybe he needs a break. Maybe he needs to visit the things that are getting better. It's easy to allow oneself to be overwhelmed by all the negative.
