Ricky Gervais, Jon Stewart Mock Leno, Stephen Hawking On 'The Daily Show' (VIDEO)

WATCH: Jon Stewart Mocks Leno During Ricky Gervais Interview

Ricky Gervais was the guest on last night's "Daily Show," and his interview with Jon Stewart was one of the funniest we've seen in a while. The two comedians chatted as if they hadn't rehearsed a thing, came up with an idea for a Stephen Hawking chat show and even got in a dig at Jay Leno.

First, Gervais declared that "The Daily Show" is "the cleverest show ever." That is, he continued, "until Stephen Hawking gets his own chat show."

Stewart cracked up at this idea and even said he'd "like to do that show" before Gervais launched into a tirade about Hawking taking too long to make speeches at awards shows.

Stewart took this opportunity to make a joke at Jay Leno's expense, and said of this hypothetical Hawking talk show:


"I just imagine how Jay Leno would figure out how to f--k him over."

Amidst howls of laughter from the audience, Stewart continued to mock Leno by suggesting that he'd even try to hurt the theoretical physicist to prevent him from getting on TV:

"I'm sure he's got brakes so he wouldn't go down the stairs that easily."
