The earlier side

Stewart appears as Andrew in 1997; the episode’s final reversal makes Andrew the adopted child and preserves Matthew’s earlier only-child canon.

The research describes this side rather than quoting it, so no exact script anchor is attached. The episode link above still resolves.

The later side

Future host of The Daily Show; later workplace node with Community performer John Oliver

What changes on the way

Creates a concrete NewsRadio personnel node that later intersects Community through John Oliver’s Daily Show employment.

The changed element is part of the evidence rather than noise. A function can move to a different character, a power relation can reverse, several sources can combine, and the same mechanism can produce a different result.

Open follow-up

Keep later Wyatt Cenac/Herman Cain controversy as a retroactive actor-history echo unless evidence establishes any creative connection to NewsRadio.
