'The Daily Show' canceled a Chris Brown interview at the last minute after its staff revolted
Brown, who two years ago was convicted of felony assault changes against his former girlfriend Rihanna, has since dealt with numerous violent instances and probation violations.
According to the Daily Beast story, "Daily Show" staffers disapproved of the booking, though host Trevor Noah brought up in a meeting that he was planning to use the interview to bring up domestic-violence issues. Noah's ex-stepfather violently abused his mother.
Some on the staff felt Noah wouldn't be right for the interview, as in the past he had joked about Brown's abuse.
