Jon Stewart may have picked up a slew of Emmy awards for his final season of “The Daily Show” last night, but it was during his acceptance speech for Best Variety Talk Show Series that really caught our attention.

When Stewart got up to the stage to collect his hardware, he made remarks on how his life has changed since he left his talk show this past summer.

“It is a barren wasteland out there,” he joked. “Out in the world, there are tables of food, but you can’t take it. It costs money. Very little of it is gluten free or vegan.”

Dun-dun-duuuun!

Hold on. By mentioning how hard it is to find vegan food, did Stewart out himself as one?

Although Stewart hasn’t gone on the record stating he’s a vegan, it’s quite possible that he could be. For a case in point, look no further than Stewart’s wife, Tracey, who’s a dedicated vegan and passionate animal advocate. And then there’s the farm in New Jersey that the couple purchased earlier this year with the intention of providing a sanctuary for farm animals rescued from cruelty. In fact, Stewart mentioned on his now-defunct show that his retirement plans included running an animal sanctuary on his new farm.

Sure, this might be all conjecture, but we can’t help but think we’re onto something. Perhaps the comedian will confirm his vegan status once and for all at Farm Sanctuary’s upcoming New York City gala where both he and his wife will be honored for their efforts to promote compassion for farm animals.

If Stewart isn’t a vegan, he definitely sounds like one.

Watch the speech and decide for yourself:
