Wife of fired anchor says on Facebook that he apologized to 'Daily Show' host
NEW YORK — Jon Stewart gleefully struck back Monday night at former CNN host Rick Sanchez, who was fired after calling him a bigot.
Meanwhile, on her Facebook page, Suzanne Sanchez wrote that her husband had apologized to Stewart: "rick apologized to jon stewart today. they had a good talk. jon was gracious and called rick, 'thin-skinned.' he's right. rick feels horrible that in an effort to make a broader point about the media, his exhaustion from working 14 hr days for 2 mo. straight, caused him to mangle his thought process inartfully. he got ...caught up in the banter and deeply apologizes to anyone who was offended by his unintended comments."
In his opening spot on "The Daily Show" Monday, Stewart told his Comedy Central audience that, after taping last Thursday's edition, he had heard Sanchez interviewed on a radio program.
"I think Jon Stewart's a bigot," Sanchez was heard declaring in the taped replay.
"Omigod!" Stewart glowed from his anchor desk. "Rick Sanchez knows my name!"
