Chapter 1: Who are the guests on this episode with Jon Stewart?
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Chapter 2: Who does Jon Stewart consider his worst guest ever?
Look at that. It's very humbling. Who's the worst guest you ever had on this show? The worst. The worst, the absolute worst guest. I've been here 10 years. I want to give them a run for their money tonight. You think you could do that? I think I could try. I've had some bad guests.
I really think I'm up to it. Bishop Desmond Tutu. Really? Drunk off his ass. Wow. You know who was not good? Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid. We had him on the show, and he was in a coma. Really? It was so weird. Have you familiar with him?
I know who the majority leader is, yes. If only you'd been in Times Square for us.
He'd written a book about his life. I was asking about his life. And it was literally as though I was telling him a story he'd never heard before. Look at the house you grew up in.
And he was like... Well, I'm from Brooklyn. Are you from Brooklyn? Yes. Are you from... No, I was just telling you about my life. I remember my life, yeah. You do remember your life.
You're from Brooklyn.

Chapter 3: What does Larry David say about his athleticism?
I could be worse than Harry Reid. We'll see.
Already.
Good.
How are you doing otherwise? Are you, you would like to be the worst guest? First of all, Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great show. Oh, thank you.
Can I lean back? Do you mind if I lean back? Does that bother you? It doesn't bother me at all. Do you feel comfortable? How about my foot up over here? I don't mind. Is that a problem?
It's not very sturdy. Are you jealous that I'm not wearing a tie? I am somewhat jealous that you seem very fit. You almost seem athletic. You see, you have like an athletic build to some extent. Can I tell you something?
Please. People are a little surprised by my athleticism when they see it, when I demonstrate it. For example... If we were playing basketball, I'd go like that. You wouldn't know what to do. You'd be stymied. I'd go around you so fast. You'd go, jeez, Larry David, he can play basketball.
Let me tell you why I would have been stymied if you had done that. Yeah. Because I don't know, I don't play with a ball that small. You were doing the gesture you were working with. If you'd be playing with a ping pong ball, you'd say, ha-ta, ha-ta, ha-ta. And I would be stupefied. So you feel if I went like that.

Chapter 4: What is the wardrobe discussion between Jon Stewart and Larry David?
Yes.
Now I feel we're playing basketball.
That's hard to mind, though, because your hands go in.
It's got no definite space. But please put your feet up. Foot up. Has anyone done this before? No one. No one has put their foot up.
Can I tell you something? Yes. I'm a little concerned that I don't have the right sock length to do it. I'm going to try, and I want to, we'll just, let's look at the sock length. What color are the socks? Also an issue. It's a beigey, but the thing is, you can't show any skin at all on, you know, ever in life, right? When you cross your legs on a man, you can't do that. Let's see.
I've got the sock length, yeah. I've got the sock length, yeah.
You're very... You know what I would say that you are, if I may? Not just athletic, aristocratic to some extent. I see you have a suede shoe, a suede sneaker.
It's very, very bourgeois. Wardrobe. I didn't pick it up. Is that true? Yes, wardrobe, yeah. Everything I'm wearing is wardrobe. In your life, you have a person that picks out your clothes? No, I steal it from the show. They buy it, and I take it home. What would you wear? This, this, wardrobe, wardrobe.
All of it? Underwear, I got the underwear. Would you have them do the underwear? Is that another, is that stepping up your relationship with wardrobe to a more intimate place? To say to them, you know, I enjoy... Yeah, I could go, Hanes 34.

Chapter 5: How does Tina Fey describe the experience of hosting SNL?
I was tremendous. I was so good, they said, don't come back. You would shame the other hosts. But, you know, I don't know if people realize the difficulty. You guys are putting on a 90-minute play.
Yeah, that's a long show every week.
And it was crazy to see just the sets and the makeup and the costumes and the writing and just how much had to come together.
Yeah.
Technically.
And the crew never messes up. They never accidentally put up the hooker set for the president sketch. They never mess up.
Is that the error that everyone's trying to avoid?
Nobody ever enters the Oval Office in a hamburger outfit. They always get it right.
Hamburger outfit in Oval Office. Done, I'm submitting it.
