Last night, Jon Stewart and his fellow The Daily Show correspondent, Jessica Williams, decided to partake in some always-appreciated Fox News bashing while defending Jay Z. Recently, the network, notably Sean Hannity, repeatedly made sure to point out that Jay is a former crack dealer while discussing his recent meeting with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo about criminal justice reform. Yes, Jay is admittedly a former crack dealer, but to ignore half a lifetime of accolades and the empire he has built is flat out disrespectful.

While Stewart kicked off the segment with some strong points, he faded off a little with his outdated rap references, but Williams made sure to stay on point. Imagine if Fox repeatedly mentioned their on-air personalities' past lives, though. Looking at you, Rush Limbaugh.
