Brad Pitt talks New Orleans on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
Posted by Kevin Allman on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 4:09 PM
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart interviewed Brad Pitt — but time ran out before they could discuss New Orleans recovery. So Pitt stuck around and they put an extended interview on The Daily Show site, in which Pitt discusses progress in New Orleans, an upcoming eBay auction to benefit the Make It Right foundation and an expansion of the Make It Right program to Newark, N.J., where they're now building homes for veterans.
Referencing Pitt's looks, talent and charitable contributions, Stewart joked, "I really wish you were kind of a dick. But you're not."
