Jon Stewart on Potential ‘Daily Show’ Cancellation After Skydance Merger: ‘Been Kicked Out of S–ttier Establishments’

Jon Stewart does not sound like he is losing sleep over “The Daily Show” potentially being canceled if Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount is approved.

Stewart, on the Thursday episode of his “The Weekly Show” podcast, was asked if he is concerned the deal would spell the end of the long-running comedy program, in part because of his recent criticism of Paramount and President Donald Trump. The 62-year-old comedian said he is not worried about it.

“You know, unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything from [Paramount or Skydance]. They haven’t called me and said like, ‘Don’t get too comfortable in that office.’”

He continued: “Let me tell you something — I’ve been kicked out of s–ttier establishments than that. We’ll land on our feet.”

"...’ve been kicked out of s–ttier establishments than that..." Yeah, but now that you're gone it could improve ... ... ... maybe.

John can be funny, but it’s a shame he is so far left.

Start packing, Leibowitz.

You can go join has-been Bolshevik loon Keith Olbermann in the world of podcasts that nobody listens to.

They drug him back to try to recover from that awful, unfunny black South African guy who replaced him 10 years ago. Jonathan Leibowitz is past his prime and needs to go away along with that lame show that pretends it’s a news show for Gen Ys and Zs and its clapping seal audience.

So much for Stephen. He will have to "Sig Heil" elsewhere.

Y'all can slam Jon Stewart all you want, but he will always come out on my good side for all he has done for US military veterans getting congress to improve VA benefits for those in need.

Go find and watch his testimonies before congress, shaming them into acting to benefit disabled veterans.

The man is worthy for that alone.
