Anthony Weiner and a woman from Las Vegas that were very sexual in nature. But one exchange in particular singled out the 'Daily Show/Colbert' hour on Comedy Central.

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.'
