“ Anxious ” Jon Stewart lands on The Late Show

(Journalist)
– Jon Stewart appeared on The late show Friday night and described himself as a little stressed – and then some, The Huffington Post reports. “I’m terrified. I’m anxious, I’m alone, I wish it was 2010 again,” he told host Stephen Colbert. “An election and a pandemic? How much soup and canned ammunition can a man have, Stephen?” Colbert retorted, “Never enough, Jon.” But Stewart was just getting started:

• “I want to know how long we have to keep going through this, where we are in this marathon,” he said. “On Election Day, are we at Heartbreak Hill … all of that hard work and all of that resilience is about to pay off, we’re going to cross the finish line and finally be able to expire?” Or is it halfway, the 13 mile mark? And when my nipples stop bleeding? These are questions I need to know, Steve. “

Colbert tried to allay the man’s anxiety but didn’t really hit the mark, according to the Hollywood Reporter: “I know we will find out on Tuesday,” Colbert said, but added, “I don’t even know if we will find out.” In Stewart’s words: “Have you ever imagined in your wildest dreams what life would be like?” (Stewart, who returns to television, has pleaded for the victims of military burns.)
