Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart has scored a coup by getting the first interview with Robert Pattinson after Kristen Stewart’s “momentary indiscretion” – the episode will premiere on Comedy Central Africa on Tuesday 14 August at 22:10.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Pattinson will sit down with the funnyman on the same night as his new movie Cosmopolis’ premiere in New York and is his first televised interview since the scandal broke.

That sit-down will trump what was already being billed as his first talk since Stewart apologised for her indiscretion, an August 15 appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Pattinson has stayed off the radar since Stewart released a statement on July 25 admitting an affair with married “Huntsman” director Rupert Sandersand has not spoken about the affair in public so far.

Will host Jon Stewart skirt over the Stewart issue or will he address it head on in his usual forthright fashion…? Will there be tears or laughter from R-Pattz? Or a bit of both?

To find out, view the interview in full less than 24 hours after it goes live in the USA, by tuning into The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122) Tuesday 14 August at 22:10 CAT.
