The teaser features close-up shots of Stewart dressing as he gets ready to go on air. The camera then zooms out to show the comedian seeing his face in a mirror.

"Ahhh! What the hell happened to my face?" Stewart says before jokingly adding, "Why would I go back to a visual medium? I could have done a podcast."

The series marks Stewart's first hosting gig since the Comedy Central late-night show The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which he hosted from 1999 to 2015.

The Problem with Jon Stewart will premiere Sept. 30, with subsequent episodes to air every other week. Stewart will host and executive produce the series, which will also feature a companion podcast.

The new series is an hour-long show that takes an in-depth look at one topic per episode. It explores issues that are "currently part of the national conversation" and subjects relevant to Stewart's advocacy work.
