To bid Jon Stewart farewell from his 16-year gig as host ofThe Daily Show,Arby's purchased two ads in his penultimate episode, which aired Wednesday,The Wall Street Journalreports. One of the two is a compilation of Stewart's best, anti-Arby's quips, such as "Arby's: Isn't there anywhere else we can eat?" and "It's like shock and awe for your bowels."

Despite Stewart's history of hating on the sandwich chain, there are no hard feelings from Arby's. The brand ends the commercial with text reading, "Not sure why, but we'll miss you."

Stewartresponded, "I do not accept your peace offering. We shall always be enemies!"

据报道品牌支付大约230000美元30 seconds of time in Stewart's final show, making this a pricy, but savvy, move for Arby's. Spending big bucks to connect with millennials is the norm for the sandwich chain: in 2014, the chain bought Pharrell's infamous hat for more than $44,000 on eBay after a tweet about its similarity to Arby's logo went viral.

Hey@Pharrell, can we have our hat back?#GRAMMYs
