Jon Stewart blames watching Fox News for his face\u2019s \u201cerosion,\u201d he joked when a fan asked whether he watches the right-wing network.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I watch Fox News? Look at me!\u201d Stewart said on Thursday\u2019s Weekly Show with Jon Stewart. \u201cLook! Is this, would this happen to some\u2026 Do you think this erosion happens naturally?\u201d he said, indicating his face. \u201cYou think this is just wind, sun, and rain? No, this is the corrosive acid rain that flows from America\u2019s newsroom on a daily basis.\u201d <\/p>\n

When his producers joked that Stewart has \u201cthe Jesse Watters<\/a> glow\u201d and that his \u201cskincare routine is The Five,\u201d Stewart agreed the network played a part in the state of his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what happens to a human being who is exposed to that level of radiation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Stewart has often indicated that he watches the network regularly as part of his \u201cmining\u201d for news. On The Daily Show in 2015, he said that watching Fox News had \u201caged\u201d him and was \u201ckilling me.\u201d He also told The Guardian that year, \u201cWatching these channels all day is incredibly depressing. I live in a constant state of depression. I think of us as turd miners. I put on my helmet, I go and mine turds, hopefully I don\u2019t get turd lung disease.\u201d <\/p>\n

At the time, he considered giving the destructive habit up for good, telling the site the only way he\u2019d watch the network again was if \u201cit\u2019s a nuclear winter, and I have been wandering, and there appears to be a flickering light through what appears to be a radioactive cloud and I think that light might be a food source that could help my family. I might glance at it for a moment until I realize, that\u2019s Fox News, and then I shut it off. That\u2019s the circumstance.\u201d <\/p>\n

In 2023, he called Fox News<\/a> a \u201cpowerful,\u201d \u201cpernicious,\u201d and \u201cdevious,\u201d \u201ccultural pathogen.\u201d <\/p>\n

Despite lamenting that watching Fox News had \u201caged\u201d him, there was a more pressing age-related matter for Stewart that he also discussed on Thursday, once again calling out 74-year-old Sen. Chuck Schumer. <\/p>\n

Asked by another fan what Schumer should \u201clearn from Joe Biden\u2019s decision not to step aside sooner,\u201d Stewart quipped, \u201cSchumer has to learn that you gotta stay in there no matter what, until one day you look up and the angels are either dragging you towards the light or towards the darkness.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is the only way\u2014from now on, you can only be removed from the Senate or our government by the Great Claw Arm in the sky,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s what his nipples are for. It comes down, they grab them both on the nipple and pull him out of the machine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Stewart blames watching Fox News for his face\u2019s \u201cerosion,\u201d he joked when a fan asked whether he…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":145818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,654,36809,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-145817","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-fox-news","10":"tag-jon-stewart","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115028688048768143","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
