  "account": "Jon Stewart has openly revealed his least favorite \"Daily Show\" interviews on a recent episode of \"After the Cut,\" a web-exclusive segment on \"The Daily Show's\" YouTube channel. This particular episode featured an audience member asking the host about his favorite and least favorite interviews throughout the years. Stewart named Donald Rumsfeld, the architect of the Iraq War, as his least favorite interview subject. He also mentioned Judith Miller, a New York Times reporter who provided stories to support the war effort. Rumsfeld's interview with Stewart became particularly memorable, as the host stayed up late to prepare, creating a \"logic trap\" for the subject. However, Stewart found himself derailing during the interview, with Rumsfeld twisting the knife by sending a note afterward expressing enjoyment of the discussion. This led Stewart to lose more sleep over the interview than Rumsfeld likely did over the entire war.",
