A day after Jon Stewart announced he will retire from “The Daily Show” later this year, the Comedy Central host addressed the outpouring of grief that has met his news.
“Last night I was perusing the Internet, and I guess my question to you is, did I die?” Stewart said on Wednesday’s show. “Cause it all seems very ‘I died.’”
The host went on to reiterate that he’s not sure what he’s going to do next, though he said some offers have come in, specifically from a certain fast-food restaurant that he often insults on the show.
“I guess my only question is as your employee would be, to work there, would I have to handle, serve, touch, eat or even look at what you so generously describe as food?” Stewart joked.
“That’s right Arby’s — this motherf—ing thing ain’t over. I do not accept your peace offer, we shall always be enemies!”
Looks like Stewart is still a free agent.
