Jon Stewart on Trump’s MSG rally, Tony Hinchcliffe

Jon Stewart is back and rejuvenated, following today’s announcement that renewed his deal with Comedy Central to remain host of The daily show until next year.

“This is my last show before the elections, but not my last show. I’m coming back, honey. “We’re doing another year,” the host said, to cheers and applause, while dancing (even doing some moves from Charli XCX’s viral “Apple” dance).

The political comedian began by addressing the presidential candidates’ respective final efforts to get out the vote before Election Day on November 5. He joked about Beyoncé’s appearance at the Kamala Harris event (“Not singing? Damn, I’m going to vote for Trump”) and quickly made headlines. Donald Trump rally in your own backyard in New York City Madison Square Garden.

After playing a medley of increasingly vitriolic clips of the speakers, ending with Tucker Carlson’s laughing face, Stewart joked, “I’ll never stop being enchanted by her girlish laugh.”

He continued: “Now, generally, that’s a lineup you see outside Madison Square Garden, yelling at strangers as they try to get there inside Madison Square Garden. And, let me tell you, how dare you desecrate the stage that the Pianist has consecrated? How dare you? How dare you?

Stewart then addressed the comedian Tony Hinchcliffewhose racist jokes directed at Puerto Ricans have summoned reaction storm from both the public and the media, prompting some rare damage control by the Trump camp.

“In retrospect, having a roast comedian attend a political rally a week before Election Day and roast a key demographic to vote probably isn’t the best political decision of the campaign, but, to be fair, the guy “He’s just doing what he does.” Stewart said. The host then played a clip of Hinchcliffe’s footage from the roast of Tom Brady a few months ago, which included footage about Jews and slaves.

“Yes, yes, terrible,” Stewart responded, unable to stop himself from laughing. “There is something wrong with me. I find that guy really funny, so I’m sorry. I don’t know what to tell you. I mean, taking him to a rally and not having him make practical jokes would be like taking Beyoncé to a rally and not having… oh.”

Stewart then went on to criticize Trump’s mass deportation policy, an issue addressed by fellow late-night host John Oliver Just yesterday. “Day 1? Have a snack, meet the staff,” Steward said of Trump’s plan to implement the tremendously unwieldy plan on his first day. “On day 1 we usually just read the syllabus, there is usually no homework.”

Commenting on videos played during the show, Stewart pointed out Trump’s unreliable statistics and described his estimates of the number of people to be deported as between “between 2 billion and 11 billion people.”

“We are only deporting people who have come here illegally, or people who have come here legally but furtively, or people who have children who are actually citizens, or some people who appear to have come here illegally, or people who have protested.” against the war in Gaza, or a special prosecutor that Trump does not like, Jack Smith, who, by the way, mentions a more American name than Jack Smith. Where are they going to deport him, to Faneuil Hall in Boston? Stewart said.

He continued, referencing an earlier incident in which Trump was unable to accurately identify his wife in a photograph: “Right now, you think you’re safe because the group that Trump is talking about, that’s not you. As if: ‘Are you sure this is not my wife?’ donald trump I can tell the fucking difference or he even cares.”

As Stewart continued to lament this moment in American politics, he was surprised to be interrupted by a fan favorite. Jessica Williamsformer correspondent of the program. Following the show’s theme, she unleashed some roasts of her own.

“Don’t be sad. Everything is going to be fine. “For you: a white man, a rich old white man,” he said. When asked if his privilege will save him, Williams responded: “Maybe. But honestly, how much more time do you really have left to live wisely? You have a D terminal (disease), right?

Williams then admitted that Stewart must be tired of “putting in” the show on a daily basis, prompting a “double wow” comment when Stewart, now unable to stay in character, responded that he only hosts on Mondays.

Wrapping up some witty but serious advice and warning against political apathy, Williams said, “Leave it, Jon, I’ll tell them your story,” to which he responded that he had signed on with the show for another year.

“My God, you’re crazy,” Williams said. “Do you think you’re going to live another year? “That’s optimistic.”
