Jon Stewart slipped unnoticed into the White House in the midst of the October 2011 budget fight, summoned to an Oval Office coffee with President Barack Obama....
In February 2014, Obama again requested Stewart make the trip from Manhattan to the White House, this time for a midmorning visit hours before the president would go before television cameras to warn Russia that “there will be costs” if it made any further military intervention in Ukraine....
Top Obama aides David Axelrod and Austan Goolsbee knew Stewart’s voice mattered and made sure to field calls and emails from the host and “Daily Show” staff...

He was the tool to keep certain demographics in the “progressive” camp, and now those dupes are reaping what they’ve sown. I revel in their discontent, and gladly let them know that.
Actually I think the incident your recalling was Stewart yelling and cursing at one of his writers, an African-American man, for having dared to question Stewart’s using a racist ‘kingfish’ voice to imitate Herman Cain
