Stewart began cursing at the guy and told him to f*ck off.
Cenac, who got his start on the show and was the only black writer at the time, said he was on the road working on an assignment when he saw Stewart imitating Cain in a segment and was not comfortable with the voice being used by the host.
‘It was a little weird. It reminded me of a Kingfish type of a thing,’ referring to the character from Amos ‘n’ Andy.
Rather than keep that opinion to himself, Cenac decided to voice his concerns in a staff meeting with Stewart.
‘I said, “Look, I gotta be honest. When I heard it, I cringed a little bit. It bothered me,”‘ Cenac told Maron he said to Stewart.
‘He got incredibly defensive. I remember he was like, “What are you trying to say? There’s a tone in your voice.” I was like, “There’s no tone. It bothered me. It sounded like Kingfish.” And then he got upset.’
Cenac said that Stewart began to repeatedly hurl expletives at him at this point, screaming ‘fu*k off.’
Here is a clip of Stewart imitating Herman Cain with a “Kingfish” voice.
Cenac, the little snowflake. It’s a comedy show pal, sheesh.
I’m with Stewart on this one although if the account of his response is true, he’s a fucking dick(like there was any doubt) A simple fuck off is plenty
Cain? Herman Cain? How do you mock Herman Cain?
Ah say, dere, Andy, ah say dere, you want to buy some long eared chinchillas?
“But Tar-Baby ain’t sayin’ nuthin’…”
; )
Now that Liberals are going to get tsunami-ed in 2016, John Stewart is taking his ball and going home.
I put you in my links, keep up the great work.

So what’s wrong with using the voice of another character to get your point across? No different than Mr. Bruce Jenner dressing up as a woman and imitating that he is one, or Rush Limbaugh imitating the voice of Obama. It’s getting the audience on the same page as you the speaker. Stewart is right to tell that black whimp to “F” off.
I don’t have any big problem with Liebovitz/Stewart using a voice.
I have a problem with hypocritical liberals that would skewer a conservative for the same behavior they used.
Algonquin J. Calhoun could not be reached for comment…
Let them eat each other.
Stewart made a funny. It’s what he does. He also went total liberal-retard when someone dared to think their own thought. Typical.
And precious little Cenac had no idea that Stewart imitated people to mock them? And he works for the dude? You get what you deserve, little snowflake. Go flounce on your daybed.
HAHAHAhahahahahahaha!
Liberals and their token blacks!
HAHAHAhahahahahahaha!
Hypocrites.
Stepin Fetchit just rolled his eyes.
