After tech blog Gizmodo found a prototype of the iPhone 4 sitting in a bar four years ago, Stewart teased Apple in a skit called "Appholes."

"Bill Gates is curing malaria and Apple is kicking people's doors in, the whole thing is upside down," Stewart said in his recent appearance on the Howard Stern Show where he recalled the conversation. Blog 9to5Mac found a recording of Stewart telling Stern all about it on YouTube.

Jobs, surprisingly, didn't rip into Stewart like you might expect.
