Jon Stewart interviewed biographer Paula Broadwell in January. And on Monday's Daily Show, in the wake of her recent David Petraeus affair news, her skewered her — and himself.
"Why does that name seem so familiar to me," he said, spoofing the whole thing in a segment called Spyfall (after the new Bond movie, Skyfall).
"In case anyone out there thought I may have actual journalist's instincts, I give you a quick snippet of my interview," Stewart said, showing clips from the chat in which Broadwell said, among other things that Petraeus "can turn water into bottled water."
Moaned Stewart: "The whole thing was like innuendo after innuendo and I'm like, gaaaaaw!"
He added, "I had her right there talking about how thick a coat of awesome sauce Petraeus is bathed in — the thing never crossed my [bleeping] mind! The whole time I was just staring of how defined her arms were!"
"I am the worst journalist in the world," he concluded. "For god's sake, the title of her book was All In!"
