Funny as he is... he was VERY rude to my son. Back in the old JOHN STEWART SHOW days on MTV. My son (then 6 years old) was asked to be on twice, in pre-taped skits to air on the show. John Stewart was a complete tool to not only the kids but his staff. Now, I may have caught him on several "bad days" but it's still no excuse for the way he treated kids that where in awe of being on his show as well as his very nice and very supportive staff.
