In his first reaction to the Rick Sanchez controversy, comedian Jon Stewart joked about the incident while hosting Comedy Central’s “Night of Too Many Stars” in New York on Saturday night.
In talking about how people should donate for autism education, Stewart said: “If you went on radio and said the Jews control the media…you may want to hold on to your money.”
But if Sanchez was right about the Jews, Stewart added, “All he has to do is apologize to us, and we’ll hire him back.”
CNN fired anchor Rick Sanchez on Friday after he called Jon Stewart a “bigot” on a radio program and implied that Jews control the media.
