COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jon Stewart and staff from Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” fielded questions from Ohio State University students at a special appearance Saturday, but the comedian also had a query of his own.
“A buckeye is a gay acorn, right?” Stewart asked about 12,000 people gathered at Value City Arena.
The popular news parody is gearing up for a week of broadcasts from Ohio for its “Midwest Midterm Midtacular.” The appearance, not planned for broadcast, was added after spaces for the four nights of tapings at the university’s more intimate Roy Bowen Theatre filled up.
