Jon Stewart Injures Himself on 'Daily Show' Fake Press Conference (VIDEO)
A very funny bit got even funnier on 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central) when reality invaded fiction. In a send-up of Rep. Anthony Weiner's press-conference about his Twitter photo scandal, Jon Stewart cut himself making a frozen cocktail drink.Yes, it's a completely absurd scenario, but the result was a somewhat serious cut that certainly was bleeding well. Ever the professional -- or not willing to do it over again -- Stewart muscled through, chastising himself for not being harder on Weiner, and then ultimately resigned from 'The Daily Show.'
When John Oliver came out to announce he was taking over, even he had to acknowledge the injury. "That's a genuine problem," he admitted.
"We better hurry up this f****** bit because I am bleeding out, motherf*****!" Stewart shouted.
"Don't be so Jewish about it, you're fine," Oliver chastised.
And the show did indeed go on, with Stewart favoring his uninjured hand throughout, and having the other hand bandaged by the end. Maybe we'll find out Wednmesday night if he ended up at the hospital over it.
