Had a strained professional relationship with Jon Stewart after Stewart's impersonation of presidential candidate Herman Cain on an episode of the Daily Show. Wyatt took offense to it, claiming it sounded like the character "Kingfish" from the Amos N' Andy Show, and when he confronted Stewart with his objection to the impression, Stewart became upset and stormed out of the room after berating Cenac. This led to Cenac leaving the show, but they appeared to patch things up in time for Stewart's last show as host of the Daily Show, in which Cenac made a cameo appearance.
