The US energy secretary just photoshopped a wig onto Jon Stewart

US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz's hair has been at the end of many jokes since the State of the Union, recently catching Jon Stewart's attention.

"Hold on a second," Stewart said. "Is that one of the actual Founding Fathers?"

Moniz, thankfully, seems to be taking the jokes in stride:
