My money is on the animation deadlines being impossible, with a dash of the real world is already onion like.
Jon Stewart's highly anticipated new HBO show has been scrapped.
In a joint statement, Stewart and the network said they have decided not to proceed with a short-form digital animated project due to "technical issues."
"We all thought the project had great potential but there were technical issues in terms of production and distribution that proved too difficult given the quick turnaround and topical nature of the material," they said.
The network added that it has "some future projects" planned with the comedian, which "you will be hearing about in the near future."
The news was first broken by the New York Times.
Last July, new HBO programming president Casey Bloys said during a panel at the Television Critics Association press tour that his hope was to have the program "up and running" by September or October.
But Bloys emphasized Stewart had taken on "a big endeavor."
"He's establishing an animation studio because he wants to get material out multiple times a day," he said. "And the idea is it will be an animated parody of a cable news network, with kind of an Onion-like portal."
