If he did know, what was he supposed to do?

Condemn sexual assault and not hire a serial sexual predator?

When did he hire him?

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

Widely known meaning the Gawker article and some tweets?

Widely known meaning the Gawker article among others, tweets, people talking about within the industry, etc.

The truth is that we have not heard from the other hundred women that want status and money and started sucking his dick, so he kept doing this.

So your new angle is that these women asked for it? Try harder, Stewart stan. You're running out of ideas.

"During an audience Q&A in May 2016, a young man asked Jon Stewart about interviewing C.K. on The Daily Show in light of his sexual misconduct allegations. "Woah, what?" Stewart said, apparently confused.

The man explained that comedian Jen Kirkman had suggested C.K. harassed her—she subsequently reneged her claims—also mentioning that Gawker had published a story, and people had been talking about it on the internet. He then asked if there was any discussion at The Daily Show about having C.K. on as a guest. Stewart burst out laughing. "Wait, I'm a little bit lost," he said. "So the internet said Louis harassed women?... You know who you're talking to, right?"

Stewart continued, smiling at the apparent ridiculousness of the question, "I'm honestly not that connected to that world, so I don't know what you're talking about... All I can tell you is I've worked with Louis for 30 years, and he's a wonderful man and person, and I've never heard anything about this. We've all known Bill Cosby was a prick for a long time, so I don't know what to tell you." The audience laughed."

If I'm being generous and taking Stewart's word that he wasn't aware of the C.K. allegations at the time, his response—laughing when asked about claims of sexual harassment—is still alarming.

It doesnt have anything to do with his sex crimes and forcing himself on unwilling women.

Not the poster you're convinced is a huge Jon Stewart fan, but it seemed pretty clear to me that he wasn't laughing about the claims.

Only to you two delusionals. Everyone else saw it for what it was, hence the outraged responses in this thread and the articles about it.

Perhaps work on your social awareness.

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.

No, not what I was saying. He smugly dismissed the guy, clearly a fan bringing up an important concern, and tried to make him look stupid. Had the audience laughing at him. Saying he hadn't seen "the tweets" as if social media is an insane way to get credible information. It is not. The fact that there is fake news doesn't = everything is fake news. Not how this works.

Jon Stewart's reaction is EXACTLY why people are silenced. Because you risk looking ridiculous if no one believes you. This guy looked ridiculous in the audience in 2016, and now he doesn't. Jon does though.

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.

I disagree. He seemed to be going out of his way to make the kid look ridiculous for asking the question. I think if you look up smug in the dictionary a perfect illustration would be jon's face in this clip.

I also think that he was friends with him for 30 years he would have heard of these allegations and this kind of behavior, or seen how he was around women. I don't buy the "I had no idea" from him or Pamela Adlon
