Olivia Munn’s Special Tribute
During the episode that aired on a Monday evening, Munn surprised Stewart after his final monologue. She emphasized the significance of the moment, declaring it a celebration of Stewart’s contributions to the show. Munn stated, “Tonight is about you. I am here to honor you, on one of your biggest final special sendoff shows.”
Reflecting on the Industry
- Munn pointed out the fragility of the entertainment industry.
- Stewart humorously disagreed, clarifying it was not his last show.
- Munn shared a song she had written for Stewart, stating, “Nobody can fill your chair. You’re the one and only Jon Stewart.”
As she performed, Stewart jovially interrupted, noting the song did not fit him as well as it did for Stephen Colbert, another former host. Despite the playful banter about the song’s relevance, Munn expressed her gratitude for Stewart’s welcoming demeanor, highlighting the limited options she felt she had in the industry.
Wrapping up the heartfelt segment, Munn humorously remarked on her missed opportunity to bid farewell to Colbert, who had been replaced by Paul McCartney for his send-off. She quipped, “Where did they dig him up?” Munn joked that her options for appearances were dwindling, emphasizing her connection with Stewart.
