**NEW YORK, NY** – Comedian Jon Stewart fulfilled a bet he made with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, showcasing his good-natured loss in a unique way. The wager, made at the start of the NFL season, hinged on the outcome of the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles matchups. Brunson, a staunch Eagles fan despite playing in New York, wagered that Stewart would wear a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to a Knicks game if the Eagles won both contests. Stewart, a lifelong Giants fan, agreed to the terms.

The Eagles, as it turned out, defeated the Giants twice. Saturday night, Stewart made good on his promise, proudly wearing the Barkley jersey to the Knicks’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Pictures and videos of Stewart in the unusual attire quickly circulated on social media.
