Jon Stewart has earned a reputation as an insightful, tough-but-fair interviewer, but he can also be kind of a jerk. On Thursday's Daily Show, guest Mark Ruffalo had the honor of presenting a highlight reel of times Stewart mocked his guests, admitted he hadn't read their book or seen their movie, and often tried to fake his way through. Not all the guests took the jabs sitting down — if you watch to the end, Ed McMahon and Ruffalo himself give Stewart a delicious taste of his own medicine. Peter Weber
