  • Joining TODAY to talk about hosting the upcoming “Night of Too Many Stars,” Jon Stewart says he was “shocked” when he first heard the accusations of sexual misconduct against Louis C.K., and admits that “comedy is not a great environment for women.” He adds: “It’s another one of those endemic, systemic, complex problems that we all haven’t had the urgency for, and certainly myself included. I hope it changes.”

      Also, Matt was worse than Louis. Matt locked the door -- from his desk, with a button -- so women couldn't flee, and it's probably urban myth that Louis blocked the door.

He doesn't even dismiss the allegations or anything, he just says, in essence, "I've known him for a long time and this is the first I've ever heard about anything like this; it doesn't seem in-character based on what I know about him, so I don't feel like I can answer your question without knowing the whole story first."
      In other words, he doesn't want to make a statement without the facts. Seems like a decent guy to me.

People make mistakes, and if you think you're perfect you won't have friends either. Why are leftists always think bad people are inhuman? Because they are inhuman and they need proof they are not the only monsters.

      Omg, no one is accusing Jon Stewart of being a sexual predator. Perhaps ambivalent... like so many men AND women, lots of men, have been. If you men are feeling defensive because creeps are being outed... perhaps you should ask yourself WHY that is. Perhaps you could have some self inflection. Women are not in the position to coddle YOUR hurt feelings because you are internalizing what other men have done. Just STOP being ambivalent to it. That’s all.

      Power is the way our genes traits are able to survive. That's why we seek it: it's not an end, but a means for procreation. Men seek power much more than women because it is much more important for us to have power for our genes to survive. Genes of out-of-power-males are very likely to be pruned, while genes of out-of-power-females are still very likely to continue to exist.
      No one is debating against the fact that men want power and have power.
      The questions you need to ask yourself are: is that necessary, is that a good thing, is that moral. Your instincts are not always great to act upon. You see a shiny gold coin, your instinct would be to grab it, but what are the implications of that? Is it a good thing for men to control all of the power, all of the money?

I told my boarding school caretaker nun about it. no long after she got the teacher suspended from teaching my classroom for awhile and had to teach the older classroom students. The point is that Louis needed this... because he was a sick indiviual for that doing something like it .

    • @okaywhynot4728

      I'm really sorry you had to be in that environment as a child. You must have been shocked and appalled when you found out. I hope anyone unfortunate to be involved with him, especially the 14 year old he targeted, is in a much better and more healing environment.
      Environments where abuse runs rampant tend to all be havens for psychological and social manipulation. Along with being afraid because of power, there's also not wanting to believe your friend would do anything like that, there's laughing and joking in order to keep the 'energy' alive and not lose momentum (see: Hollywood Access, Billy Bush and Trump), there's the victim's ambition of, "I want this more than I want to deal with the trauma, I'm stronger than what they've done to me, I'll seek treatment when I get there" and their resilience to keep going at the cost of seeking justice, there's the intoxicating glamour of being in that "Hollywood exclusive", the possibility of being or associating with the 'elite' social circle and not wanting to rock the boat.
      It's complex, and it sounds insane to an outsider, but when you're in that environment, you do get affected by it-not because you 'lost your humanity', but quite the opposite-it's BECAUSE you're human.

      Tom Rebman I think that's kind of splitting hairs. The tone was apologetic, he said he was remorseful and that "I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them." As far as public apologies go, it was one of the better ones. Not excusing his actions, of course.

    • @tomr719
      @tomr719 7 років тому +13

    • @pdoylemi

      +Tom Rebman
      Unless I learn something new, I don't think he owes any apologies. He is a so-so comedian and probably owes the world an apology for being so famous, but other than that, what did he do? OK, if he exposed himself, and some unsuspecting woman was there, he probably should apologize for that - if she left the room. But at least two of the accusations I read could not be true unless they stayed and watched his nastiness. They CHOSE to stay - probably because they hoped he would help their careers - just as he invited them up hoping they would accept his weirdo sexual activities. Did he drug anyone? Did he threaten anyone? Did he in any way shape or form intimate that failure to accede to his desires would, or even might, have any negative consequences? f not, then he is just a barely funny weirdo - not a criminal and not someone who should be castigated by the world.

    • @LordofBallyhoo

      Tom Rebman You didn't comprehend his apology if you think he intimated he wanted to sue these women for libel. That is absolutely unreasonable. He said he failed as a mentor, a man, and that he regrets what he has done and will now take the time to listen. He also precisely described how he hurt these women: by virtue of using his name and prestige to get them as an audience for his fetishism. The guy came clean, man..

      LeBunneh Hunneh For years there has been allegations of sexual misconduct from Schneider. Ranges from inappropriate touching with current stars to requirements of sexual favors for up-comers to be considered for casting. These allegations all involved actresses below the age of consent. This isn’t unique to the Nick Network. Actors, such as Corey Feldman and Elijah Wood, have spoken out before on pedophilia being accepted and protected among the Hollywood elite. Unfortunately even though respectable people have brought this up before society at large didn’t get behind them and it was brushed under the rug once again. I’d imagine that is incredibly discouraging to all other past and future victims.

    When Jon said that sexual harassment was endemic and if you walk through 30 Rock, and then he stopped what he was saying. But, Jon was basically about to say that you could even find that problem in 30 Rock which is the building in which this interview was happening (30 Rockefeller Center here in New York City). I say that because the interviewer that asked him the harassment question (Matt Laur), was later accused off the same thing and fired. Matt worked in 30 Rock. Jon saying that must have made Matt's lip quiver nervously. The Irony !!

    In that video from last year - The questioner asks about "Jen Kirkman's account of Louis' harassment of female comedians" But *Jen Kirkman never referred to Louis by name* . The Gawker article just presumed she was referring to Louis . This is Jen on twitter :" _LITERALLY NO WOMAN EVER CAME TO ME & said she was a victim. It was all backstage comedians whispering that we heard "things" from 5th hand sources_ " . Even Jen Kirkman who experienced Louis misbehaviour did not realize that it was widespread .
    And yet Jon Stewart should have had perfect knowledge of what Louis was doing from "5th Hand sources " ?
    It's Ironic that even Jen is now being blamed on Twitter for not naming Louis . Even the victim is being blamed for not being an appropriate Victim . But America is an irony free zone these days

    It is not just in the entertainment industry it is everywhere the dentist office, Walmart, 7 eleven, factories any work place or church, I bet there is not anyone at their workplace or church or any organization that has not heard rumors about sexual misconduct or sexual assault. What did you do? Did you believe it? If you did believe or think it could be true what did you do go to HR go to the police? Everyone says look at him but I think we all need to look at ourselves and are we doing anything different than all the celebrities that are being put on the hot seat for no knowing or doing anything about it. I the end we are all part of the problem if we do not realize it is not only wrong if your on TV

    Another thing I hate is the guilt by association that is a great contaminant. Dave Becky, Louis's manager, has been forced to cut ties with Louis, but even having done so is the subject of a totally unnecessary and hateful focus, as if merely having something to do with Louis marks him as of the same ilk. Once you start seeing things like that, the exposure of abusers ceases to be the exposure of abusers and becomes a witch hunt.

    • @Crazy_Diamond_75
      @Crazy_Diamond_75 7 років тому +6

      One of the things that's really frustrating to me about all this is that, since we've never really tried to address these problems before, we haven't developed any sort of recourse on how to deal with these allegations. If you look at Roy Moore, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump, Louis CK, and Al Franken, they all did very different things to very different degrees of awfulness. But right now, the only thing we seem to be able to ask in retribution is whether to fire them or not. Besides the fact that that solution doesn't really do anything to help heal the women affected, it also feels like a black-and-white band-aid for a more nuanced issue. But unfortunately that's the only method we have for addressing it right now.

    • @katielonsdorf7649
      @katielonsdorf7649 7 років тому +7

      But it is 100% comparable. At the core this is the same problem - an issue where powerful men coerce mainly women (but also men) into sexual encounters at inappropriate times and inappropriate ways. To say every one of these men deserve the same punishment and recourse is incorrect, but to minimize another's actions because they are not as bad perpetuates the problem. They are comparable because both use the inequality of power to perpetrate their actions.

    • @Crazy_Diamond_75

Men can just overpower them physically and mentally. Women are forever at a disadvantage. Men should not pursue sexually relations with low life women who haven't reached the level of success that they have. Successful strong women who are accomplished and strong enough to give consent involving things sexual in nature, because this is what they want. Not those who are so weak, and intimidated by the captains of industry.
