Jim Cramer Blasts Jon Stewart ‘Ambush’

F My Life: It's Funny, It's True, Except When It Happens to You

"It was a complete and utter ambush. [Stewart] told my staff that it was going to be fun, convivial, no clips, but [it] doesn't matter, he's a comedian, he can do whatever he wants."

That is how Jim Cramer describes his exchange with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" in an interview he recently gave to the Ohio State University publication "The Lantern" and is taking off the gloves.

"Was it a fair fight? No, it wasn't even a fight. I came on with the idea of taking a high road approach and discussing the issues, obviously [Stewart] came on strictly to try to humiliate me. It was brutal. Was he stand-up? Absolutely not. Did he comport himself as a gentleman? Hardly. It was a deposition; he wants to be a prosecutor."

Cramer was also highly critical of Jon Stewart's off-camera conduct.

"He had an animus toward me. At the conclusion of the interview, not on the mic, he said, 'I picked the wrong guy, I'm sorry,' but that's not gonna get out there. He just said it to me as just a throwaway. His goal was just to humiliate and destroy me and probably get me fired, and last I looked, I still have a show."

Cramer also launched one final volley at Stewart's credibility.

"I am a highly controversial figure [on 'Mad Money']. I was not a controversial figure when it came to making money. And I can tell that guy, when he's made his first 100 million in the market, I will respect his judgment about the market."

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for round two.
