BroadwayWorld recently reported that 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart would be visiting Fox News Channel's THE O'REILLY FACTOR on Friday, November 14th to discuss making his directorial debut in the new film 'Rosewater.' Check out the appearance below!

The film is based on the New York Times best-selling memoir Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity and Survival, written by BBC journalist Maziar Bahari.

A true story, the film marks the screenwriting and directorial debut of THE DAILY SHOW host and anchor Jon Stewart, and stars Gael Garcia Bernal, leading an international cast. ROSEWATER is produced byScott Rudin, Stewart, and Gigi Pritzker, with Lila Yacoub and Eli Bush serving as executive producers.

ROSEWATER follows the Tehran-born Bahari, a 42-year-old broadcast journalist with Canadian citizenship living in London. In June 2009, Bahari returned to Iran to interview Mir-Hossein Moussavi, who was the prime challenger to controversial incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Moussavi's supporters rose up to protest Ahmadinejad's victory declaration hours before the polls closed on election day, Bahari endured great personal risk by submitting camera footage of the unfolding street riots to the BBC. Bahari was soon arrested by Revolutionary Guard police, led by a man identifying himself only as "Rosewater," who proceeded to torture and interrogate the journalist over the next 118 days.
