Jon Stewart, Iran: 'Daily Show' Host To Film Movie in Middle East to Disprove 'Bad Relations' about US Citizens, Bahari Jailed after 'Daily Show' Interview with Jason Jones [VIDEO]
Host of the hit Comedy Central show The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, will be taking a longer break from the show to work on what people are assuming is a satirical documentary about relations between the United States population, and the Iranian people.
Recently, a Middle Eastern Journalist named Maziar Bahari ended up in jail after speaking with Daily Show in a recent story by Jason Jones called "Behind the Veil"
Stewart's reaction was that he, "Felt like shit," after learning about Bahari's arrest, according to Salon.com. "He was tortured and interrogated, and one of the things he was interrogated about was being in touch with an American spy. The American spy in question was this guy [Jason Jones]."
CNN reported on the incident, you can view that story here:
The new anchor of the Daily Show, while Jon Stewart is gone will be John Oliver. The lovable British comedian will be a fine replacement, and Jon Stewart fans everywhere are excited to see what the show will look like under the new hosts rein.
In 2009 Bahari was detained after he was accused of being a spy. He was interrogated, and now recently the sketch which Jason Jones put together landed this man in jail again.
Stewart will be creating a film which was derived from a film written by Bahari. This will definitely be a very anticipated film, which will be very popular. While Oliver will make a good temporary replacement Stewart's return is going to be very exciting.
