If you’re going to sit down for an interview with Jon Stewart, you best be ready to get properly pressed on the subjects you’re talking about. The talk show host doesn’t shy away from challenging subjects on guests’ views, as plenty of politicians have learned.
Over the last year, Stewart sat down with several officials across multiple states for his Apple TV+ series “The Problem With Jon Stewart,” digging in on issues like gun violence and election misinformation. Sometimes, it gets heated.
Stewart has never been shy about his own opinions, so we rounded up several top moments from the show in which he pushed back (in no particular order).
