President Clinton makes reference to Stewarts appearance alongside Robin Williams, Edward Norton and Danny DeVito in the 2002 Warner Bros flick Death to Smoochy. IMDB describes the film like this:
With a lowly Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 2 stars, the film made just $8.3m at the Box Office despite its all-star cast I doubt that covered their wages. Youve got to hand it to wry old Clinton to have played out Stewart, Stewart-style.
The pair have enjoyed many notable interviews over the years, with Clinton appearing on the Daily Show several times always in good spirits. So Stewart would most definitely have appreciated the joke if hes seen it and considering its been retweeted no fewer than 11,400 times, its fair to say he probably has.

(8,601 posts)...we both thought Death to Smoochy was an awesomely funny movie!
I'll miss John Stewart terribly; my wife is less political so doesn't really care all that much.
May they come up with a replacement who will wow us for at least another decade!

Williams: I don't know. I'm kind of fucked up in general, so it's hard to gauge. *passes out*

(5,275 posts)I found it pretty amusing. The scene where the great Catherine Keener's character first encounters Edward Norton's character is classic.
There is more fairly dark humor. Shakespeare it's not but that's OK.
Stewart was also in "The Faculty" I believe.
