Jon Stewart said he once hoped to have the Federal Trade Commission’s Lina Khan on as a podcast guest but Apple urged him not to do so. "I’ve got to tell you. I wanted to have you on a podcast, and Apple asked us not to do it, to have you," the comedian told Khan during her Monday appearance on Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show.
The comedian explained to Khan he "didn’t think they cared for you is what happened." Reports suggested "creative differences" between Apple and Stewart played into "The Problem With Jon Stewart" not moving forward with a third season in 2023. While hosting the show’s two seasons, he interviewed guests such as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Disney's Bob Iger, among others.
The company was recently hit with a lawsuit from the Department of Justice that leveled allegations of "monopolization or attempted monopolization of smartphone markets" against Apple. It has refuted the claims, saying it believes the suit "is wrong on the facts and the law," as previously reported by FOX Business. Many expect Apple to disclose major AI developments in mid-June during its Worldwide Developers Conference.
