Part of the creative process as a writer.
He could/should have done it privately then, he probably would have gotten a better response

seriously though I could see why Jon would be frustrated. I've never taken him for being racially insensitive. And you pile on when he's taking heat from the jackasses from Fox News?

ehh....I never felt his herman cain was offensive. I do think, however, if that was really Stewarts reaction to Wyatt's critic he should at least heard him out. I don't have a problem with Jon's imitation at all.

Seems like they probably just didnt really like eachother.

People gotta realize those writer rooms are like a small circle of people stuck in a room all night for like 12+ hours a day. And we all have people we dislike at our jobs. Things eventually boil over.

You also have to question the timing of this,stewart is retiring next month and breh waits till now to say this. Seems petty and personal.

Wonder if stewart will comment on his show.

off-topic, but I've never really been a fan of Stewart. Like I said, I kinda feel that he's just average as a comedian. Also, considering his show has been on Comedy Central for so many years is depressing when they cancelled Tough Crowd which was on after it :snoop: all the regulars & CQ are/were better/funnier comedians than him and the show offered a lot different pov's to a lot of issues (mainly it was just comedians tryin to shyt on each other though :laugh:)


:mjcry: not just that, all we have is the youtube clips, those b*stards didn't even release ANY Tough Crowd DVD's :mjcry:


RIP Patrice :mjcry:


RIP Giraldo :mjcry:

There have been rumors forever about how how difficult the Daily Show is to work on because Jon Stewart is a perfectionist type that goes hard, can be really sensitive to criticism and has really high expectations from his staff. I want to say he's had similar problems with a couple female staff members as well. Some people can deal with that environment, some people take it personally, so I have zero doubt that the scene happened just like Wyatt Cenac said it happened.

Having said that, Wyatt sounds like a bytch that expected his boss to be a father-figure. Making fun of Herman Cain isn't racist, it's what anyone with half a functioning brain would do, just like making fun of Trump. Telling your liberal comedian boss, who is known for his silly voices and has (like it or not) spoken out about honestly about race in this country more than anyone else in the mainstream, that he sounds like he's Kingfish in a meeting full of people and while he's already getting shyt on by the real enemy isn't going to end well. At all. Ever. That whole "crying like a middle school girl on the baseball field" because he got told to fukk off visual doesn't do him any favors either.

So yeah, they're both wrong. Stewart cannot take criticism and I've never seen Wyatt be funny outside of the Daily Show - his stand-up was a borderline therapy session.

If my boss tells me to "fukk off," I better have been caught whacking it at my desk or some such offensive thing. The day an employer tells me to fukk off to my face is the day I freshen up my resume.

Cenac to me has always given off passive-aggressive hipster vibes. Is Jon Stewart anti-semitic for doing a Chuck Schumer voice? People have gotten easily offended these days, over shyt that not only doesn't have foul intent, but isn't even that fukked up in the first place.
i dont know shyt about chuck schumer but i know herman cain sounds nothing like that impression, so i can see why Wyatt felt the way he did. i felt the same way...it is cringe-worthy but doenst seem like it came from a bad place or anything like that. i wouldnt call Jon Stewart a racist, but that was a bad call by him just doing a "random black guy" voice.

Man the amount of sensitivity and phony outrage over comedy these days is nauseating

In the words of the late great Patrice O'Neal "the words I'm offended should never come out of a mans mouth"
