Mets P Matt Harvey appeared on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” last night. Host Jon Stewart noted, “we have not seen a player of your ability in many years,” since the ‘80s teams with Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, the “last time that we experienced, I guess, what some people would call – it’s been so long – success.” Harvey: “For us and the whole staff we’re excited about the future, we’re excited about now.” Stewart asked, “Do you feel the pessimism of the Met fan? The Met fan is a beaten creature.” Harvey said he "saw an article today about how I should be pitched until I’m abused,” because fans and the media think Harvey will leave the team when he is eligible. Stewart: “It is the Mets. Here’s my thought: You dominate the league for like two years and then they trade you for a milking goat and some magic beans because that is generally the way they handle excellent ballplayers” (“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” Comedy Central, 5/28).
Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore said of reports ’22 World Cup host Qatar has been investigated for human rights violations, “Yeah human rights violations, like forcing people to play soccer in Qatar. The average temperature is 350 degrees. Good lord FIFA, what was your second choice? An oven-roasting a chicken?” (“The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore,” Comedy Central, 5/28). Watch Wilmore's report.
