He’s one of my favourite people… I think he’s doing as best he can in that situation, when you’re dealing with something that’s so explosive and loaded with all kinds of other things, and I just love that kid.” Stern also asked how Stewart feels about all the “Daily Show” alums who have found success outside the show, including John Oliver. “I’ll come downstairs, and my daughter will be watching John Oliver,” Stewart. “I’m like, ‘Holy s**t, Oliver is raising my children.

This is awesome!’” “Did you find yourself getting envious of those guys?” Stern asked. “No, no, no,” his guest said. “I love what they do, and I love those guys… We had so much fun working together.

I don’t have regret or envy or any of those things because I’m astonished at how well shit has worked out for me. I never had that sense that someone else’s success is to the detriment of mine.
