Jon Stewart Returns to "Daily Show" / Dresses Up as Miley Cyrus in Disturbing Clip [VIDEO]

Jon Stewart is back and it looks like the Middle East has changed him. For those who haven't watched the Daily Show this Summer, Stewart took a hiatus from the show to film his first movie Rosewater, a story about a London-based journalist who was held captive and tortured in 2009 during Iran's presidential election.

During the opening skit for Stewart's first episode back, show fill-in and British correspondent, John Oliver went to get the veteran host from his dressing room only to discover this wasn't the same Jon Stewart he once knew.

First Oliver was greeted by a bearded Stewart who spoke some sort of mix between broken Arabic and English...a.k.a. "Arabish."

"Jon's back, but I think the Middle East has changed him," Oliver told fellow Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams. "He's not even acting American. Get a defibrillator ... and two Big Macs."

Oliver stabs him with some sort of shot, and Stewart transforms into some Larry the Cable guy impersonator. After a sequence of Stewart turning into other iconic characters, which included a Smurf, Freddie Mercury and Miley Cyrus a la VMA performance, Oliver had no choice but to call in "the fixer" Stephen Colbert.

Colbert arrives in full HAZMAT suit ready to revive his friend. Finally, the real Jon Stewart was back and ready to return to his beloved news show.
