Having inspired a huge subgenre of political comedy, Jon Stewart, who walked away from The Daily Show in 2015, has returned to television in a determined but defensive crouch. That he's both worried about and pre-emptively rebelling against criticism is evident in the extremely '90s credit sequence that introduces his new weekly Apple TV show, The Problem With Jon Stewart. Over grinding, Rage Against the Machine -style guitars, the credits cycle through unflattering potential titles like The Money Grab With Jon Stewart before landing on a title that both sets up the show's format--each weekly episode deals with a central problem, like "War" or "Freedom"--and preempts the title of skeptical think pieces. Stewart plays defense as host too, alluding early and often to how old he looks and to how little his audience is laughing. Concerns that The Problem's writing staff might be too white and male, like The Daily Show's, are staved off by literally showing us Stewart bantering with his staff, which is admirably diverse.

In the debut episode "How Far is Too Far?," the actor introduces viewers to Soul Machines CEO Mark Sagar. Sagar is a special effects artist who worked on films like King Kong and Avatar who is using his expertise in animating faces to create an AI-animated digital avatar for the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am. In the second episode, meanwhile, we learn about Project Euphonia, a speech assistance tool Google showed off at I/O 2019. This episode features former NFL linebacker Tim Shaw who has ALS and difficulty moving and speaking as a result of his condition. We see a prototype of Euphonia in action, and Shaw help Google record voice samples for the AI to try and interpret his speech.

Research by psychologists provides some insight into how most humans would actually act in Westworld. A central theme of HBO's new sci-fi series "Westworld" is the question of what it means to be human. The setting is an immersive adult theme park that's been fashioned after the American Old West and is inhabited by intelligent lifelike robots. Over the years, the robots – called hosts – have been updated to look and act more human. As a result, the hosts have started to deviate from their programming.

Over the years, the robots – called hosts – have been updated to look and act more human. As a result, the hosts have started to deviate from their programming. They've become unpredictable – just like humans.

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "Westworld." The second episode of "Westworld" made a significant leap when it came to explaining "glitches" in the robotic hosts' programming. One of the programming employees, Elsie, expressed concern to Bernard about Peter Abernathy (the host who went "crazy" in the premiere). Peter Abernathy began reciting threatening lines from his old narratives. "Let me at least pull the hosts who had contact with him," Elsie asks Bernard.
