Rick Sanchez Reportedly Called Jon Stewart to Apologize

Rick Sanchez—the CNN anchor who was fired after insinuating that Jews control the media—might be coming out of hiding. According to Sanchez's wife, he called Daily Show host Jon Stewart (the target of Sanchez's remarks) to say "sorry."

In an update on her Facebook wall, Rick's wife Suzanne writes that the former CNN anchor called Stewart and "they had a good talk" (oh, boy, I'm sure they did). She says Stewart was "gracious" and that he called Sanchez "thin-skinned," and that Rick "feels horrible" and "deeply apologizes to anyone who was offended"—

And watch Jon Stewart.
