    Stewart hosting a reboot of Crossfire would be pretty on the nose.

      "Hey, everybody. Welcome to my new show NewFire. It's a new version of the classic debate jam Crossfire..."

      About three minutes later...

      "Stick 'em in the ovens. Stick 'em all in the ovens. Not just the Jews this time!"

      "AdolfMyGod1488, hold up - I think you just went a bit too far there."

        I don't think he'd call out AdolfMyGod1488, only make him wear a sleeve if he has swastika tattoos on his arms.

            If I remember correctly the crossfire format was you had two hosts, "right" and "left", and guests with the idea you (as a guest, not a viewer) are getting a "crossfire" of both perspectives

            So Hasan as cohost, and they co-interview Azov dude but Hasan gets angrier and angrier and Jon Stewart just keeps winking and chuckling nervously at the camera.
