[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He didn't defend him.  [/quote]

No, he dismissed sexual abuse allegations and said they were basically irrelevant. [/quote]

No he didn't.  A gawker article and tweets don't mean much.  He indicated there wasn't a discussion of these specific references.[/quote]

Actually they mean a whole lot, as the NYT article proved today.  It was an open secret within the comedy community as Tig Notaro discussed [/quote]

Hindsight is 20/20.

I'm not defending CK.

This was in 2016.  Stewart wasn't dismissing the abuse allegations.  He said he didn't discuss this on his show in conjunction with CK's appearance on the daily show in 2015 and that he hadn't heard Jen kirkman's podcast, didn't see the tweets or the gawker article.  Gawker posted about ck in 2012.  Kirkman's podcast was in 2015 and she later deleted it:

Stewart was saying that he had been out of the world of stand up for a while.  He hosted the daily show from 1999-2015.  To write for that show his media diet was CNN, Fox News etc.  so I believe him when he said he wasn't aware of it.

Remember he defended Anthony weiner when his pix were released b/c they knew each other quite well.  He did not pull any punches on his show when it was quickly revealed that weiner was not hacked and was sending these photos.

So yes, Ck is a scum bag, but he also seems to be a cagey scum bag.  Amy poheler raves about him too.  My guess is that where, when, and who he sexually harassed women was calculated.
