The mayor of Bellingham, Washington says Jon Stewart, the spitfire host of Comedy Central’s Daily Show, is getting a key to the city. Unfortunately, he won’t be traveling to the northwestern Washington city to accept it.
Mayor Dan Pike tells The Bellingham Herald that representatives of Jon’s talent agency told him that Stewart appreciated the offer to come get the key but was too busy to accept. Mayor Pike is “disappointed” by Stewart’s decision because the point of the offer was to spark community discussion.

The mayor says he still plans to send Jon a key to the city.
