To millions, Jay Z is an American success story -- a wildly popular artist and a self-made businessman from humble roots. But to Sean Hannity, Jay Z is just a "former crack dealer.”

"Fuck, man," Jon Stewart said on "The Daily Show" Wednesday night, after playing a clip of Hannity's comments. "I don't even know what to do here."

But if Jay Z is just a "former crack dealer" to Fox News, then turnabout is fair play. "The Daily Show" correspondent Jessica Williams joined Stewart to give new titles to some of the network's favorite talking heads, including Ted Nugent, G. Gordon Liddy and Mark Fuhrman, based on "the worst thing they've ever done."

Rush Limbaugh, for example, is no longer a "radio talk show host"; he's a "prescription drug addict."

Two can play at this game.
