The former Daily Show host said on Tuesday's Today show he was “stunned” when he learned about Louis CK's transgressions. But in his “vague, noncommittal response, Stewart manages to dance around condemning himself or even CK,” says Anna Menta. She adds: “He then stumbled through an awkward acknowledgement that ‘comedy on its best day is not a great environment for women,’ but was unable to say the words ‘sexual harassment.’ Compared with fellow comedian and CK pal Marc Maron's response to the scandal, Stewart's comments register as weak. On his podcast this week, Maron admitted he knew about the rumors and said that when he confronted CK about it, CK lied. He called CK's actions ‘gross, creepy, massively inappropriate and potentially traumatizing.’”
