Stewart, who is Jewish, lightheartedly took issue with the fact that Kimmel is not of the faith but still served as the inspiration for the kid's big day.
Jon Stewart made a surprise television appearance Thursday night, and it had nothing to do with President Trump, Stephen Colbert or politics of any kind. So when someone chooses to use you as the theme for his bar mitzvah, you have to know that you've been a great influence in his life.
Rubin later revealed that, instead of giving Kimmel half of his bar mitzvah earnings, he would instead donate that money to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
Considering the religious faith of the two late-night hosts, Stewart just couldn't make sense of it.
Stewart added, "Wouldn't you rather idolize a talk show host that is also circumcised?" "And I'm a Jew".
"You probably had your choice of really, you know, of idolizing any talk show host, and you could have gone with a Jew", he deadpans.
Before Stewart disappeared, Kimmel asked Will: "Maybe you could have a Jon Stewart themed wedding?" He's not rabbinical; he's just unhealthy. Stewart further roasted Kimmel for his "learned-looking beard" and "puffy, sad eyes". "He's not ... He's still wearing his hoodie, do you see what I'm saying?" Will, in his best deadpan response, told the pair of comedians, "I'll think about it".
