Jon Stewart is the Nightly Show's new 'Don't Give a Sh*t Anymore' correspondent.

The Daily Show host dropped by Larry Wilmore's late night show -- on which he's also an executive producer -- to discuss the meetings he's had with President Obama over the years, meetings that previously went unreported.

After cracking open a can of beer, Stewart cracked a few jokes about the get-togethers.

"What did [Obama] want?" Wilmore asks.

"What did he want? Hang out. Eat nachos. Watch King Ralph," Stewart jokes.

Wilmore then gets slightly more serious, asking Stewart if Obama was trying to "influence" the comedian's political jokes on The Daily Show.

“I think that’s what he was trying to do, because I have a television show and we sometimes say some sh***y things about him and his policies," Stewart responded, before tossing in one more wisecrack. "I’m pretty sure I was there because he’s ran out of people to watch King Ralph with."

Clearly this was all a ploy to get people to remember King Ralph. John Goodman must be so pleased.

The duo also mused about whether Obama is in "Do Not Care" mode at this point in his presidency.

"I think he’s in ‘I’m gonna build me a library with my name on it’ mode,” Stewart joked.
