He walked out of the room at the end of it, and I ran out after him and I said, “Jon, would you ever look at a new scene that I haven’t given you yet? It’s from the fourth episode, and you’ve only got the pilot to audition off of.”

In a recent episode of "The Daily Show" from earlier this week, comedian Jon Stewart agreed with Newsom’s assessment.
