The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart has no lack of surprising and entertaining guests, and the latest episode was very much one of the best. Stewart featured soccer legend, Pele. Some soccer fans would even refer to Pele as a somewhat mythical creature to the sport.
Pele reflected on the first time he saw his father crying back in 1950.
“[I saw my father crying], and I asked him, ‘Why are you crying?’
‘Brazil lost the World Cup.’
‘I’m going to win one World Cup for you, don’t worry.'”
I’d say he more than fulfilled his promise to his father. Pele is currently doing a tour for his new book Why Soccer Matters, but to the absolute surprise of Stewart, Pele also gifted him his 1970 World Cup jersey. Stewart seems obviously humbled and speechless, and I personally can’t help but feeling pure jealousy.
