Stewart has been locked into a four-year production contract, saying he is expected to make short-form content for HBO NOW, HBO GO and other platforms.

The first project will involve more of Stewart's trademark skewering of current events, paired with graphics company OTOY Inc. The goal is to produce multiple shorts a day.

“Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me," Stewart said. "I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”
