During a recent episode, Jon Stewart expressed his disbelief and frustration with Democrats for caving on the government shutdown after a successful election night. Stewart highlighted how seven Democratic senators and one independent voted with Republicans to end the shutdown, despite having momentum on their side. He mocked the party’s decision to accept a promise of a future vote on the Affordable Care Act without any guarantees of its passage. Comparing the situation to a world-class collapse, Stewart criticized the Democrats for seemingly giving up on their advantage, and singled out specific senators for their actions.

In a recent episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart highlighted potential hints that Donald Trump may be considering a third presidential term.

Jon Stewart will host Thursday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” deviating from his usual Monday hosting duties, likely in response to Disney and ABC’s decision to bench Jimmy Kimmel after pressure from the FCC.

The episode will feature Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Maria Ressa, who has experience fighting government attempts to silence the free press. Stewart has a long history of taking down all those who try to “bend the knee to Trump,” which makes this a highly anticipated episode.

In a recent segment, Jon Stewart dissected Donald Trump’s attempt to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein. Stewart highlighted Trump’s use of the word “inappropriate” to describe Epstein’s actions and his subsequent complaint about Epstein hiring his employees. The former “Daily Show” host found Trump’s insistence that he never visited Epstein’s island, but also expressed he never had the “privilege” of going, to be particularly telling. Stewart’s analysis suggested Trump’s ego and narcissism were central to his denial, as seen through the use of an unexpected word choice.

Jon Stewart defended Stephen Colbert on The Daily Show, criticizing CBS’s decision to end The Late Show in 2026, which was announced shortly after Colbert criticized Paramount, CBS’s parent company, over a settlement with Donald Trump. Stewart argued the cancellation was likely due to corporate fear and pre-compliance with Trump’s potential retaliation, emphasizing that shows unafraid to take a stand have generated significant revenue for the network. He then cautioned against caving in to Trump’s vindictive actions, saying institutions shouldn’t be afraid to be critical. Stewart concluded by suggesting that the decision to end Colbert’s show and possibly The Daily Show as well was in response to Trump’s agenda.

Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” monologue heavily criticized Senator Mike Lee’s insensitive X posts regarding the Minnesota shooting deaths. Stewart highlighted Lee’s glib commentary, including a “Nightmare on Waltz Street” reference, juxtaposing it with the senator’s past dismissive behavior towards 9/11 first responders. The comedian questioned Lee’s prioritization of partisan political points over the tragic loss of life, drawing a sharp contrast between the resources dedicated to immigration enforcement and the lack of attention to domestic gun violence. Other commentators, including Pat Bagley and David Simon, also condemned Lee’s remarks. Lee subsequently deleted some, but not all, of the controversial posts and has yet to issue an apology.

The incident highlights the intersection of faith, politics, and public perception within the current political climate.

Jon Stewart, on Bill Simmons’ podcast, posited that Donald Trump’s pattern of demanding large settlements from media companies—like the $15 million from ABC and the $40 million from Bezos—constitutes a form of “protection money” and reveals a larger strategy. This “pay tribute to the king” approach suggests a terrifying endgame: Trump might ultimately destroy the country for financial gain, viewing his presidency as a massive money-making scheme. The recent CBS settlement, resulting in high-profile departures, exemplifies this, with executives choosing to resign rather than apologize for fair journalistic practices. Stewart concludes that Trump’s actions will continue unless his pattern of appeasement is halted.
