Watch Jon Stewart turn into a fanboy while interviewing Matt Harvey

Jon Stewart has conducted a lot of interviews during his career. He’s talked to actors, musicians, politicians and presidents. 

A man with that type of history probably doesn’t get flustered by guests anymore. That was not the case Thursday night. New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey appeared on “The Daily Show,” and Stewart, a Mets fan, loved every minute of it. 

Stewart does a good job capturing what it must be like to be a Mets fan right now. After so many poor decisions, it’s starting to look like the team is relevant again. Harvey has been, and should continue to be, a major part of that resurgence. 

Also, the bit about Harvey’s elbow was pretty great. The hopes of a lot of people in New York ride on that elbow, so it’s best to make sure it’s pampered constantly.

Stewart also discusses the fact that he’ll be leaving the show soon, and tells Harvey, “you’re all I have left.” That thought may not seem sane or rational, but you have to remember, it’s coming from a Mets fan.
