Yes. I feel slightly better about this knowing it is from 2016 and not like today, but still. Oh because someone saw it on social media it's not a thing Jon? Okie dokie.

Not what he said. He said he didn't know and it was important.

More importantly, NOT everything you see on social media is real. Hence the Comet Pizza shooter.

You could tell they both thought it was important by the way that they immediately stopped talking about it.

Watch the tape. It was announced that it was the last question before it was even asked.

If there wasn’t enough time to answer a question, then why allow it to be asked?

??? People lined up to ask questions that weren't pre-screened. They were taping a show interviewing Stewart, not conducting a panel on sexual harassment.

His smugness is pretty insufferable. Hopefully he feels dumb about this now.

Come on - he was dismissive of the idea that he should know about and then base his interview questions on social media rumors that were pretty obscure at the time. The kid cited a podcast and "a couple of tweets" for his implication that Jon should have known. That WAS a laughable suggestion. Jon was totally serious about the actual issue of sexual assault, not smug at all.

Oh. I guess it’s okay to dismiss the question since it wasn’t a panel on sexual harassment. That’s the only time such issues should be addressed.

I'm also have asked you to prove your point based on the tape you posted and you've called me names. The question was asked as the last question and the moderator interrupted as well. I've quoted what Stewart actually said. He wasn't smiling and gave a serious answer based on his experience. What you want him to say or do differently is based completely on what we know now. Your outrage doesn't prove a point.

Everyone can watch the video themselves. Which is why people are outraged. Sorry lady- it's obvious you have a real loyalty to Stewart, but it's not convincing when there's VIDEO EVIDENCE of the scene in question. Anyone who thinks he wasn't dismissing the question and mocking the dude who asked it either has spectacularly low social perception or is willfully deluding themselves.

As for Tig naming names, here you go: http://www.newsweek.com/louis-ck-louis-ck-masturbate-masturbation-i-love-you-daddy-movie-comedy-707159

She did NOW. Not at in the Gawker blurb from years ago. Time machines are great but not admissible in court even the court of public opinion.

She named it well before the NYT article came out, when it was incredibly risky to her career. How telling that you are trying to hold a woman who publicly condemned to a higher standard than a man who laughed off the accusations. I think that says it all.

No, she didn't: she went from not naming names to being "more vocal"
https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/television/2017/08/23/tig-notaro-more-vocal-about-her-rift-with-louis/XnvrvDR0BOHSVb4EH8NQbJ/story.html

Again I believe her. This is not victim blaming.

What Stewart actually said was "I didn't know about the sexual assault but it's important..." he wasn't smiling and not laughing. So put blame where it belongs.

You asked whether she named names- that's exactly what she did when she named the perpetrator. By "name names" did you expect her to name the names of the innocent victims? Because that's... that's not how being a sexual abuse advocate works.

She named names, she stood up to power, in a way more vulnerable position than Stewart. Thanks to her, this story has finally reached the light of day. She is a hero.

Contrast that to Stewart, who mocked the interviewer, seemed to be trying to almost cut him off many times, and dismissed the story out of hand.

Condemn sexual assault and not hire a serial sexual predator?

When he had him as the last guest on his talk show well after the sexual abuse was widely known.
