Jon Stewart is inviting his conservative enemies to his “Daily Show” finale

Jon Stewart’s last appearance on The Daily Show might have even more f-bombs than usual.

According to Page Six, producers of the Comedy Central hit have been reaching out to conservative politicians and pundits whom Stewart has roasted over the years, in an effort to put together a dramatic exit for the comedian. An unnamed Page Six source says that the finale will be a chance for Stewart’s former victims to “basically tell Jon to ‘f–k off.’”

So far no names have officially been released, but news outlets have suggested the lineup ought to include Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, and George W. Bush.

The last episode of The Daily Show will air on August 6.
