So far, Jon Stewart has handled his friend Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal relatively carefully. It’s difficult ground for him, of course, since — as he’s now said repeatedly — he’s torn over whether he should cover the issue as a comedian or as a friend.
Last night, his comedian side took over; it seems he could hardly resist responding to the revelation that, in the course of his sexually charged correspondence with a Las Vegas blackjack dealer, Rep. Weiner mentioned “The Daily Show” repeatedly — even suggesting, at one point, that he and his pen pal could have sex while watching it. Stewart appears flabbergasted by this news, and can’t help wondering aloud: ”Is this what you people are doing at home when our show is on?!”
