[quote=Anonymous]http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/10/politics/jon-stewart-2016-transcript-axe-files-axelrod/index.html Read the transcript: AXELROD: Take one more question. STEWART: Yeah. Yes. QUESTION: Me? STEWART: Yes, sir. QUESTION: Oh great. STEWART: Brothers and beards. QUESTION: Thank you. It's a new one. I'm trying it out. I wanted to ask you about the last interview on your who, which I think was Louis CK. STEWART: Yeah. QUESTION: So, from my memory, I think that was after some of the rumors about Louis CK's alleged harassment of female comedians... STEWART: Woah. QUESTION: ...and sort of started to come out. Just some things started (inaudible) on the internet. STEWART: Wait. What? QUESTION: I think this was after Jen Kirkman, for example, had talked about like her knowledge of Louis CK's alleged harassment of female comedians... STEWART: Right. QUESTION: ...at least people interpreted it that way. STEWART: Yeah. QUESTION: There was an article on Gawker, I believe, about it. STEWART: Right. QUESTION: And I just wanted to know -- I mean, if this is the first you're hearing of it, maybe my I already got my answer that there really... STEWART: Oh, OK. QUESTION: ....wasn't discussion about this on the show, but I... STEWART: No, wait, wait, wait. I'm a little lost. So, the internet said Louis harassed women? QUESTION: So, there was first a Gawker article and then there were a couple of tweets by people and I know this is all internet stuff. STEWART: Pretty authoritative. QUESTION: I know that this is how... STEWART: You know who you're talking to, right? QUESTION: No, I totally get that. STEWART: All right. QUESTION: And it's a fair point, that like internet rumors are not, you know, court case or anything. I just wanted to know if there was any sort of discussion about that on the show; if that was a thing on your radar? STEWART: No. I didn't see the tweets. QUESTION: No, or Jen Kirkman's podcast about (inaudible). STEWART: No, I don't, and you know, and I apologize, I honestly, like, I'm not that connected to that world, so I do apologize. I don't know what you're talking about. But, I can't really add. I don't know what to say. QUESTION: No definitely and I can turn that around and I think that's a good point is that a lot of people, at the time, didn't know what that was, and you know, again, like the internet is not for sure or anything like that, but just there have been comedians who have taken strong stances on Bill Cosby without like certain knowledge from Bill Maher to Hannibal Buress, but I was just wondered if you could talk about the role of comedians in (inaudible). STEWART: But, as you pointed out... QUESTION: Right. STEWART: ...the Bill Cosby case actually is a legal case. QUESTION: Now it is, but it wasn't when Bill Maher and Hannibal Buress started talking about it. I just -- maybe you could speak to the role of comedians in (inaudible). STEWART: I mean, all I can tell you is I've worked with Louis for 30 years and like he's a wonderful man and person and I've never heard anything about this... QUESTION: Sure. STEWART: ...and we've all known Bill Cosby was a prick for a long time. So, I don't know what to tell you. But, I didn't know about the sexual assault. But, you're right, it's important... QUESTION: Not sexual assault, like just... STEWART: Or like whatever. QUESTION: ...like just harassment in general. STEWART: Oh. Yeah, I don't... AXELROD: We appreciate your question. Thank you. STEWART: Yeah. Sorry. I don't (inaudible). AXELROD: And, let's say thanks to Jon Stewart. STEWART: Oh. Thank you.[/quote]
