Watch Jon Stewart Beat Himself Up (Literally) For Being Too Easy on Anthony Weiner
Jun. 8 2011, Published 10:57 a.m. ET
Jon Stewart feels he missed his opportunity to really sink his teeth into Rep. Anthony Weiner over the Twitter photo scandal. So last night, the political satirist held a press conference on The Daily Show to apologize for being too lazy when it came to Weiner, and literally beat himself up when he cut open his hand while making a frozen cocktail.
Jon chastised himself for not seizing the opportunity on Monday night — after Weiner admitted earlier that day to conducting online affairs with several women after a Twitter picture surfaced of him in boxer briefs — to slam the New York Democratic Congressman for his indiscretions.
Then Jon resigned from The Daily Show, and John Oliver came out to announce he was taking over.
"That's a genuine problem," John admitted when he saw Jon bleeding.
"We better hurry up this f****** bit because I am bleeding out, motherf*****!" Jon shouted.
"Don't be so Jewish about it, you're fine," Oliver yelled back.
