Despite Jon Stewart still making headlines post-late night career — mainly thanks to semi-regular appearances on Stephen Colbert’s show — HBO has scrapped his much-anticipated animated show.
“HBO and Jon Stewart have decided not to proceed with a short form digital animated project,” a joint statement issues to The New York Times reads.
Stewart has already inked a four-year deal with HBO that started in November 2015, three months after Comedy Central’s The Daily Show ended.
We’re excited to report that we have some future projects together which you will be hearing about in the near future.”
