In recent months, Trump has publicly celebrated late night host Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s temporary suspension from ABC<\/a>, and the impending cancellation of Stephen Colbert\u2019s show by CBS.<\/a><\/p>\n Despite his vocal criticisms of the president, Stewart appears to have mostly avoided Trump\u2019s ire.<\/p>\n Speaking on his own The Weekly Show<\/a> podcast, Stewart said he thinks he knows why, explaining: \u201cIt\u2019s a function of relevance. I don\u2019t think we are on the radar.\u201d<\/p>\n The host recalled that Trump had taken aim at him in the past, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve had my experiences. I take great pride in the fact that Donald Trump, at 2:30 AM, just tweeted, I think in all caps: \u2018Jon Stewart is a p****.\u2019 This is obviously before he was the commander-in-chief of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Jon Stewart discussing President Trump on \u2018The Daily Show\u2019 (The Daily Show)<\/p>\n He explained that Trump\u2019s remark came after the two men claimed one another should go by different names.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was saying my real name is Jonathan Leibowitz, and why don\u2019t I appreciate my Jewish heritage?\u201d said Stewart. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Well, you know, he doesn\u2019t like people to know, but his real name is F***face Von Clownstick.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt\u2019s absurd to even think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Stewart also said he hoped his network, Comedy Central, would stand behind him if Trump ever did come after The Daily Show.<\/p>\n \u201cWe continue to do what we do and the hope is that the company that we work for continues to appreciate what it is that we do,\u201d remarked Stewart.<\/p>\n![\"Jon](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-09-at-11-05-02.png\")
