Watch Jon Stewart Talk About What Motivates Him To Go Into Work

In the new episode of Inside Comedy, David Steinberg sat down with Jon Stewart to discuss his background in comedy. The 30-minute episode was shot in January, roughly two months before Stewart announced his departure from the show. That being said, his exhaustion is evident when he somewhat sidesteps the question of what motivates him to head into work every day.

Stephen Colbert was also a guest in the episode, which was shot just a month after the final episode of The Colbert Report aired. In the clip below, Steinberg brought up the dangers of satire with Colbert, who points out the difference between being a cynical person and behaving cynically.

Sure, we all miss The Colbert Report, but after watching this episode, I’m only more excited to see what Colbert will do once David Letterman leaves his post on The Late Show.

Inside Comedy airs a new episode every Tuesday at 11 p.m. on Showtime.
