What's Jon Stewart's Beef with Philly?
Catherine Lucey
In case you missed it, Jon Stewart took a shot at Philadelphians last night on The Daily Show. But does he really hate us all, or is he just bitter that his baseball team -- the NY Mets -- can't get it together? Check out the clip:

it's all baseball related, he does comment there about the World Series...love Jon even though he's a Mets fan!— aud- hate mets fans........still love stewart.— scorpio27
- It was a little shocking at first but he made it pretty clear when he said Phillies fans and their world series ring. Very funny and oh by the way Jon, METS SUCK!!!!!— sadtruthis-
- I know why Jon Stewart doesn't like philly...I saw an interview or something when he told a story about his dad taking him to an Eagles/Giants game at the vet when he was 12. He said a bunch of 20 something guys were all drunk and laughing walking down one of the concourses and as they were walking by Jon, one of the guys just took Jon's giants hat off his head, kept walking and just laughed. I love those vet stories.— phils#1
- Was that Jon Stewart in the movie with Adam Sandler where Sandler takes in the kid... who ends up being Stewart's.. and he said he was celebrating the Blue Jays and Joe Carter's HR? Another knock at Philly...— 93phils
- It was! "Big Daddy"— aud
- Sorry your team sucks Jon. Don't be bitter... no don't.. it's okay.— Stairs08
- Jon's from Lawrenceville, NJ. There's no reason why he couldn't love the Phillies instead of the Mutts, but there's no accounting for taste.— Bruce87036
- He's also a really really dumb liberal.— WriteWinger
- Yeah, that dumb liberal! It's not as though there has ever been a fist fight at a Phillies game!— thegray
- it's like being an idiot on tv— dreinterests
- It's not like anyone at a mets or say giants game ever got drunk and acted stupid. Right, New Yorkers are all class. Jon Stewart is a TOOL.— MIKEZ
- People that watch his show are dumb. Who cares what he says. He was a decent VJ though.— Front Man11
Comment removed.- My laptop lost its audio. He's not funny when you can't hear him.— Delaware Jim
- This guy does have a vendetta against Philly. Not just the Phillies. he called Philly a Sh!+ hole on his show before too. That Big Daddy scene is funny cuz I never thought about it before, but it makes sense now. Obviously, another case of an elitest, bitter, New Yorker. http://whyy.org/blogs/itsourcity/2009/01/21/jon-stewart-maligns-philly-in-obama-coverage-philly-responds-in-kind/— danlands
