It's Jon Stewart. What's he doing with that chair?

Jon Stewart went from stand-up comedy to acting roles, until he found his niche hosting Comedy Central's The Daily Show. The famous left-leaning program poked fun at political discourse in the United States and around the world, making Stewart a hero and cultural icon.

But there was one hidden fact about Jon Stewart that the general public were unaware of; he's a major fan of pro wrestling. After his stint as host of the Daily Show ended, Stewart wound up appearing as part of a storyline between Seth Rollins -- the WWE Champion -- and John Cena, the US Champion.

Though it seemed Rollins and Stewart were at odds with each other, Stewart wound up hitting John Cena with a steel chair, allowing Rollins the win.

Stewart would later explain that he wanted to prevent Cena from breaking Flair's record number of title reigns. The comedian and commentator would pay for his sins with an Attitude Adjustment in the middle of the ring.
