'The Problem With Jon Stewart' Showrunner Brinda Adhikari Discusses Hiring and THAT Jeff Bezos Trailer

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brinda Adhikar, showrunner on The Problem With Jon Stewart, gave an insight into how episodes of the show are created. She also discussed the infamous trailer depicting Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos in Space.

Likely because we published something that Emperor Zuckerberg II, Glorious Commander of the United States of Facebook, didn’t like.
