Speaking at the Television Critics’ Association’s summer press tour on Saturday, network boss Casey Bloys revealed that Jon Stewart’s HBO project will be an animated parody of a cable news network.
As The Wrap reports, the project will be “an Onion-like portal that will consist of video and text, with the animation allowing for a quick turnaround. […] It allows him to comment real-time on what’s happening during the day’s news events. The animation allows him to respond to things very quickly.” […] There will also be an element on the HBO channel itself as well.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that, Stewart “is establishing an animation studio and wants to get material out on a daily basis. The idea is that it’s an animated parody of a cable news network in an Onion-like portal. It will be his voice, in his actual voice, and his tone.” […] There will also be a written component. And, down the line, a half-hour effort on the linear network.
While no premiere date has been set, it is hoped that the project will be ready in the fall, in time for the presidential election.

Are the multiple on screen personalities of Stephen Colbert not already complex enough for you? Don’t worry, he’s just cranked it up a notch. On last night’s episode of the Late Show, Stephen Colbert revealed that Viacom lawyers contacted CBS lawyers claiming intellectual property over the character “Stephen Colbert” from The Colbert Report. The character, last seen on December 18, 2014 made a surprise appearance on the July 18, 2016 episode of the Late Show, something that seemingly was not cleared with Viacom. After declaring that “Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report, will never be seen again,” Colbert introduced “his identical twin cousin, Stephen Colbert”.
How the Late Show intends on using this new character will surely play out in the coming weeks, but the most pressing question that remains: does Viacom have any legal stance over the reappearance of “Stephen Colbert” the character, and/or “Stephen Colbert, his identical twin cousin”? Eriq Gardner of ‘The Hollywood Reporter‘ answers some of these questions as he examines what “has the potential of becoming one of the all-time great cases concerning split personality”.

At a campaign rally in Miami on Saturday, Clinton and Kaine took to the stage in their first joint appearance together. Kaine greeted the crowd in Spanish, saying, “Bienvenidos a todos,” which translates to “welcome to everyone.” On Sunday, Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced that she will step down as the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after the convention. Her resignation comes amid the release of thousands of leaked emails showing DNC staffers favoring Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the party’s 2016 primary contest.
