Watch: Jon Stewart reminisces about Trenton punk club City Gardens on 'The Daily Show'

Bartender turned comic talks Butthole Surfers, Cro-Mags, Gwar.

Last night on 'The Daily Show," author Amy Yates Wuelfing and Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes were on with Jon Stewart to talk up the book No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes: An Oral History Of The Legendary City Gardens.

In the 1980s, Lawrenceville, N.J.-native Stewart worked as a bartender at the Trenton club, which he remembered as being a dangerous place with "a lot of punching." He got particularly sentimental talking about a Butthole Surfers show in which there was fire on and all-but-naked woman on stage. An interview with Wuefling and No Slam Dancing co-author Steven DiLudovico is in Tuesday's Inquirer. Read that here, using acces code C93D.
