Trevor Noah didn’t run through and delete his old tweets before he was announced as Jon Stewart‘s successor. As a result, he had to suffer the backlash…
Well, we now know what Jon Stewart will do after he leaves The Daily Show . And wrestlers around the WWE should be cowering in fear. Or at least covering their groin. The Comedy Central host appeared on Monday Night RAW last night, interrupting a segment titled “The Daily Show with Seth Rollins.” It featured grappler Seth Rollins talking trash about Stewart and how he failed as an Oscars host and how he’s a “wuss and a phony” and how no one saw his directorial debut, Rosewater. Rollins then said he would force Stewart to “retire immediately” if he dared come into the ring because it’s “hard to host a phony news show with your jaw wired shut.” And then Stewart came into the ring! And he said he has something Rollins will never have: Respect . And then he kicked Rollins in the nuts! It was awesome! Stewart has referenced in the past how he watches WWE with his son and Rollins started this feud on February 16 when he told a crowd in Orlando that he could easily take over The Daily Show and make it “watchable.” Stewart responded with a video in which he addressed the wrestler with the following taunt: “Seth Rollins, you’ve made a lot of mistakes in your life… but this is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made by coming after The Daily Show. You just stepped in a world of hurt my friend.” How right Jon Stewart proved to be. Comedians React to Jon Stewart Daily Show Departure 1. Mindy Kaling I KNEW IT! 2.

Oy vey . Donald Trump is at it again. Having already feuded with Rosie O’Donnell… and Barack Obama… and Mark Cuban … and Bill Maher … the Celebrity Apprentice host is getting into it with Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Over what? On May 1 – in response to Trump Tweeting that he’s smarter than Stewart and referencing Stewart’s real name (Jonathan Leibowitz) – Stewart referred to the billionaire as “F–kface Von Clownstick.” This, naturally, set The Donald off. “If Jon Stewart is so above it all & legit, why did he change his name from Jonathan Leibowitz? He should be proud of his heritage!” Trump wrote on Friday, adding: “Jon Stewart is a total phony — he should cherish his past — not run from it. As I’ve said many times before, Jon Stewart is highly overrated.” Stewart, of course, references his Judaism on The Daily Show almost as often as he slams CNN, but that didn’t dissuade Trump. “He’s an overrated a–hole,” he concluded. “Total phony.” Do you agree? Is Jon Stewart overrated? Yes, what a hack! No, he’s a comedic genius! SHUT UP, TRUMP! View Poll »
Jon Stewart will be taking a break this summer from The Daily Show grind. In a surprise move, the host announced today that he is taking an 12-week break from the Comedy Central smash in order to make his directorial debut. He will go behind the camera for Rosewater , an adaptation of the book “Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story Of Love, Captivity And Survival.” In Stewart’s absence, British correspondent John Oliver will sit in for eight weeks of new episodes. The film, meanwhile, will be based on Maziar Bahari’s nightmare of leaving London in June 2009 to cover Iran’s presidential elections. Leaving an expecting fiancee behind, the BBC journalist thought he would staying for a week – and instead spent the next 118 days in an Iran prison, brutally interrogated by a man he knew only by one thing: he smelled like Rosewater. Not exactly funny material for the comedian. But most definitely an important work.
