Jon Stewart Explains Why His Name Appears in Epstein Files

Jon Stewart explained his brief 2015 email mention in Epstein files relates to a proposed Woody Allen project, addressing it proactively amid DOJ's recent document release.

  • Jon Stewart revealed on February 2, 2026, that his name appears in the Epstein files due to an email from Jeffrey Epstein discussing a project idea involving director Woody Allen.
  • In the email, Epstein suggested that Woody Allen consider a stand-up routine for Apple TV or Amazon, mentioning Jon Stewart as a potential host.
  • Stewart criticized the Department of Justice for their handling of the Epstein files, suggesting they protect powerful individuals from facing consequences, including Donald Trump.
  • He humorously expressed concern about being casually included in the files and remarked that high-profile individuals mentioned, except for Prince Andrew, have faced no accountability.
