Jon Stewart surprises Jimmy Kimmel's kids in carpool segment

Fans wondering why Jon Stewart was absent from his regular 'The Daily Show' hosting duties on Monday needn't have looked far. 

The comedy legend popped up on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' in a hilarious pre-taped segment.

Stewart, in Los Angeles for the Netflix Is a Joke festival, decided to surprise Kimmel's children by becoming their unexpected carpool passenger.  The segment was a follow-up to an earlier bit where Kimmel's family picked up pop star Olivia Rodrigo, much to the delight of his kids.
 

This time, however, the children were less starstruck. After some awkward introductions and a failed sing-along, Stewart turned the conversation to his opinions on aging, skincare, and his passionate dislike for Arby's. The segment ended with a request for a Rodrigo song and Stewart being playfully ejected from the car.

Despite the rocky ride, Stewart still managed to score an invite to that night's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' taping, where he gifted Kimmel a bag of Arby's roast beef as a tongue-in-cheek gesture.

Jon Stewart will return to 'The Daily Show' on Thursday, continuing to host once weekly through the presidential election.
