Last night at the top of his show, Jon Stewart talked about his interview with Chris Wallace on “FOX News Sunday,” specifically a portion that was left out of the TV version of the interview. “The unedited version of the show had, what I thought, was the take-away moment of the interview, where Chris Wallace basically gives away the game,” said Stewart before running a clip that didn’t make air.

“You don’t often talk about that side,” Baier shot back, to which Stewart joked, “It’s not that funny.”
