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 his name appears in the Epstein files during an episode of The Daily Show aired on February 2, 2026, stating, "Of course, to get ahead of the story, I am also in the files."
  • Stewart's name was included in an email between Jeffrey Epstein and producer Barry Josephson discussing a stand-up routine idea for filmmaker Woody Allen.

  • He also criticized the Department of Justice for allegedly protecting Donald Trump from accountability regarding the Epstein case.
