Jon Stewart has issued a formal apology for old jokes of his that mocked transgender people.

During the season two premiere of the comedian-turned-commentator's Apple TV+ show The Problem with Jon Stewart, the former host of the Daily Show mounted a defense of the transgender community.

Included in that defense was an apology for jokes he made at the expense of transgender people while he hosted The Daily Show on Comedy Central from 1999 to 2015.

He called his old jokes 'sh***y and reductive,' before saying, 'Sh***y and reductive jokes are kind of my brand.'

Stewart introduced the subject during his opening monologue of an episode called The War Over Gender, during which he insisted that there are more than two genders and those who identify outside the binary deserve to be recognized in culture and society.

He still suffers from depression because of the untimely death of his sister Fawn.

That minx.

Lol!

Guess that leaves more time for Trump jokes and ridicule of straight white men, eh?

Ask your replacement how that went!

btw, Gutfeld is beating all your late night hosts!

I am sick of this pompous virtue signaling judgmental irrelevant ahole.

Can’t waste the eyesight on this fool. It is so boring.

[Olog-hai]

A man who was never funny to begin with.

let the trannies watch... hope it is everything and everyone he wants.

Transgenders have absolutely no sense of humor unless it’s against Trump.

He might be. But if he were young and working, he'd celebrate trannies rather than mock them.

All those "transgressive" comics of the 1960s and 1970s never transgressed upon Hollywood values. They "transgressed" upon safe targets: Christians, Germans, WASPs, white picket fence conservatives, etc.

If Lenny Bruce were alive today, he'd toady to the now current Hollywood vogue of celebrating trannies.

The trick of staying in show business is suck up and don’t make waves Jon Stewart just another sample of it.

I got a free subscription for a year. The two Tom Hanks movies on north Atlantic convoys in WWII and the post apocalypse were quite good. Literally didn’t see another thing in there for a year that I wanted to watch
