Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart recently created a Twitter account to respond to the news of the day.
Following a series of incredibly controversial segments by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Stewart sounded off on Twitter by looking back on his infamous appearance on Crossfire from 2004.
I called Tucker Carlson a dick on National television. It’s high time I apologize...to dicks. Never should have lum… https://t.co/hRxh95BuTK— Jon Stewart (@Jon Stewart)1615499998.0

Twitter got a good laugh out of Stewart's apology to all of the penises he had inadvertantly compared to a horrible person.

Years may have passed since Stewart's epic takedown of Carlson, but it seems his feelings towards the Fox News host still haven't changed.

Way back in 2004, when Jon Stewart and Carlson had their initial conflict, Stewart told the Fox host:
"You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you've failed miserably."
It seems not a lot has changed.
