Norah Jones

New York, Feb. 21 (AP): Norah Jones has done countless interviews with relative ease, but her scheduled chat with Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show has the songbird feeling a bit apprehensive.

“I’m afraid I’m going to say something stupid,” the Grammy-winning singer told the Associated Press in a recent interview. Jones is scheduled to appear on Wednesday on the comedy show that focuses on current events. She’s on a promotional tour for her new album, Feels Like Home.

“I know what’s going on, but I’m not like current event savvy. I’m not perfect, I don’t know everything. I’m a bit nervous about that,” the singer said. Jones won’t be performing, but she’ll chat with the sharp-tongued host Stewart, of whom she raves: “He’s so smart.”

“I hope he doesn’t say something and I’m like: ‘I don’t know,’” she said, laughing. Her mother is a big fan of The Daily Show, Jones said. The singer doesn’t watch television that often, she said, and doesn’t even have cable. Instead, she prefers to read.
