Jon Stewart Surprises Jimmy Kimmel’s Kids on the Drive to School

Back in October, you may have seen my wife and I surprised our kids, Jane and Billy, by picking up a hitchhiker named Olivia Rodrigo on their way to school.

They love Olivia Rodrigo, and it's been the talk of our house ever since.

So a friend of mine suggested it might be funny if we do the same thing and pick him up along the side of the road as a surprise.

Now, he is not a pop singer beloved by nine and seven year olds.

And in fact, my children have no idea who he is at all, but they do now. Here's what happened this morning on our way to school.

And away we go.

Okay, hold on. It's a little tight. It's a little tight. Okay, it's a little tight.

Jane could close out for you. Don't worry. All right. Hi. So where are you headed? Oh, you know what? My foot is just...

Here we go. On there. Hey, guys. Hi. Hi. What's so funny, Jane?

How are you guys doing? You know what's so funny. Do you guys know who this is? They're overwhelmed.

You know, they say don't meet your heroes. Oh. Do they? Some people. Yeah.

But I get that. Are you guys excited? You know, I'm in a band.

I don't know if you guys... You guys know his songs, right? We've never played... I've got him on my phone if you want to hear him.

You know his name, right? Mostly. Jane?

You can sing along. Guys, sing along. Here we go. Long time. But.

I always have. Pop. Pop. Pop.

It's a song that they'll dance down.

Did you like it? Yes.

You guys are so nice. That's right. Hey, has this ever happened before? Has anyone ever gotten in the car before? It has? Yes.

Who got in the car? Olivia Rodrigo. What? Yes. When I got in, was it sort of the same feeling?

Yeah, a good feeling. It was a good feeling? Mm-hmm. Your daughter is the nicest person I've ever met.

Get to know her a little more. She's been so kind to me. It's unbelievable.

What time do you normally go to school? This time. This time. So you guys are up every day at this time?

Oh, yeah. More or less. This is our alarm clock right here named Billy. He wakes it up every day.

We packed them a lunch. What'd you guys... What'd you pack for lunch? down there. All right, what are we dealing with? What do we got?

I think it's... Are you eating your lunch? I'm licking it.

You're licking it. It's 8 o'clock. What is it? Oh, lucky. Do you have that too? I think so.

I put a few nerds in there. You put nerds in their lunch? Yes, I did. Are you insane? There's only three.

I put three nerds in their lunch. That's like putting cocaine in their lunch. Do you guys know who this is?

Oh, we didn't tell them who I was yet. No, no, not really.

So my name is Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, but he only works on Mondays because he's

very old and I don't want to say brittle, but if he were to work as much as my mom and my dad work, he would turn into a bag of dust.

As you get older, what happens is a lot of the moisture from your body just evaporates.

So when you're young, you're a grape and then you get to be my age and you're a raisin and then you can only work Mondays.

Today is a Monday. Today is a Monday, so I'm working today. Water.

Do you need water, Billy? You know, all this has made me unbelievably hungry. Has it?

Is this where you want to go? I don't want to, but there is something that draws me here.

Okay, yes. So have you guys ever heard of a diarrhea factory? No.

Kids, don't listen to Mr. Stewart. Daddy loves Arby's. In fact, I had Arby's cater my 30th birthday.
