The Daily Show host Jon Stewart mockingly pre-empted any potential scandal by confessing to viewers and his studio audience that he, too, has been named in the latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents released on Friday.
Opening Monday night’s show, Stewart mocked those named in the release as “a veritable who’s who of who you imagine wanted someone to touch their hoohoo” adding: “allegedly [Howard] Lutnik, [Steve] Bannon, [Elon] Musk, [Larry] Summers, [Bill] Gates, [Bill] Clinton, [Steve] Tisch, Melania [Trump], the guy who directed Melania [Brett Ratner], Prince Andrew, and Sir Richard Branson.”
Rounding on the president, he dropped one more name: “And, of course, the star of our show, Donald Josephine Trump, whose thousands of mentions render Trump as kind of a necessary backdrop through the entirety of the Epstein Files.”
“Kind of like New York City in a Woody Allen movie, which coincidentally is appropos, because he’s also in the files!” the host joked, referencing Allen’s 2020 memoir, Apropos of Nothing.
This led him, with a nervous laugh, to then warn his audience that he had a confession to make: “Of course, to get ahead of the story, I am also in the files.”
“We all searched our names, right?” he jokingly laughed.
The explanation, he went on, was banal to the point of absurdity. Stewart’s name appears in a 2015 email exchange between Epstein and Hollywood producer Barry Josephson in a message about a potential stand-up project for “Woody,” whom Stewart inferred was Woody Allen.
“I take you to the scene: It is midnight, Aug. 29, 2015,” Stewart said. “Jeffrey Epstein lies wide awake, his mind turning with ideas.”
The email itself floated the suggestion that Allen develop a new stand-up routine for a streaming platform, before Josephson added an idea for framing it as a biographical project. His pitch included a hypothetical narrator: “Somebody like Jon Stewart could host/narrate the biographical part.”
That phrasing was enough to trigger Stewart’s mock outrage: “Excuse me? I am offended!”
“Somebody like Jon Stewart, or Jon Stewart?! My point is, do I have the offer or is this an audition?” he exclaimed.
