Jon Stewart: Last News

Jon Stewart is officially inviting Elon Musk to appear on The Daily Show.

How can President Donald Trump swerve the U.S. Constitution in order to remain as Commander-in-Chief for a third term?

Jack Dunn On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart went after President Donald Trump for flirting with the possibility of running for a third term. Stewart opened the segment by saying he wanted to “check in on our good friend Democracy,” which itself has become a political buzz word as Trump looks to increase his executive power with each passing day. A news clip then played, which reported that Trump is “considering his options to serve a third term in office, a breach of the constitution’s two-term limit for president.” “I’m sorry, considering the option?” Stewart exclaimed.

Jack Dunn On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart went after President Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, for leaking top secret U.S. war plans to The Atlantic by accidentally including the publication’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in a group chat. Before diving into the brief segment, Stewart sarcastically prefaced the audience by saying he wanted to provide a “quick update on an administration that is, once again, carrying out its planswith competence and professionalism.” Stewart then played a series of news clips illustrating the situation.

The Traitors, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and The White Lotus all caught strays as Jon Stewart took on the topic of free speech during his Monday night monologue.

Conan O’Brien is being recognized for his work in comedy.

Jack Dunn On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart slammed Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for voting to pass a Republican-backed spending bill. Stewart opened the segment with a news compilation featuring several Democratic senators saying the bill is “terrible” and “designed to hurt the American people.” Stewart then played a video of Schumer saying that “Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate” to pass the budget. Important to note that if the bill was not passed, the government would be forced to shut down.

Seemingly unlike Democrats with president Donald Trump, Jon Stewart has a bone to pick with Chuck Schumer and the minority party’s lack of cohesion and gumption around fighting back against GOP legislation.

Jon Stewart had a couple of matters to tend to as he kicked off today’s episode of The Daily Show, addressing both his injury from the week prior and Elon Musk’s claim that he would appear as a guest “if the show airs unedited.”

The upcoming Lanterns TV show is in production!

The Daily Show presenter Jon Stewart’s rant about Elon Musk’s government entity DOGE (Department Of Government Efficiency) has led to the billionaire saying he would appear on the show.On X (formerly Twitter), user @FarzadMediaINC posted “Elon Musk Should Go On Jon Stewart’s Daily Show”. The post was seen by Musk, who replied “I will do it if the show airs unedited.” The Daily Show’s official account then followed that with “@elonmusk we’d be delighted!”During Monday’s (February 24) Daily Show segment, Stewart criticised the firing of thousands of federal workers, arguing that money might have been better saved with what he views as wasteful government spending..@elonmusk we’d be delighted! https://t.co/thMOOeLpeZ— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) February 26, 2025 “How about we just take $3billion in subsidies we give to oil and gas companies that turn billions in profits,” Stewart said.

Jack Dunn Elon Musk could soon be sitting opposite Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show.” After Stewart lambasted Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during Monday night’s “Daily Show” broadcast, Musk supporters took to X calling for the Tesla founder to go toe-to-toe with the late-night pundit on air. Musk replied to one user Tuesday saying, “I will do it if the show airs unedited.” The next day, the official “Daily Show” X account responded to Musk, writing, “We’d be delighted!” While nothing is confirmed, it is safe to assume if Musk did go on “The Daily Show,” his reception would be less than welcoming.

Jon Stewart spent the opening of his this week blasting Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, which the Tesla CEO and X (fka Twitter) chairman is leading, over its headline-making drastic budget cuts to various government programs. Stewart got so passionate on the subject that he inadvertently cut his hand on a mug he smashed and finished his monologue with his hand under his desk as blood was gushing from it.

Jon Stewart cut his hand open on Monday night’s (February 24) episode of The Daily Show during a passionate speech about the high price of prescription drugs – watch the moment below.He injured himself while delivering a monologue about the price of medication, which began with a clip of former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris standing in front of a crowd announcing they’d come to an agreement to lower the price of 10 drugs.Stewart said: “You know what’s so horrible about our system now? And the corruption that lays within it? We’re so fucking numb to it, we actually tout tiny cracks in that exploitation as victory.”He went on, sarcastically: “Ooh, can it be? The companies we subsidize with billions of dollars are allowing us the privilege of negotiating the price of 10 of their drugs. And 10 is all of them, right? It would be embarrassing if it was a small drop in the bucket and that the American people didn’t expect that we should negotiate for all their fucking drugs! Because we’ve already paid for ’em with our subsidies!”It was then that he slammed his coffee mug down, before inspecting his hand and saying he’d be “going to the hospital soon.” Watch the moment below, just before 17:00.He continued on with his report, holding his injured hand below the desk.

Jon Stewart is no stranger to displays of political passion, but tonight’s episode of The Daily Show marked a new level of enthusiasm: The comedian smashed a porcelain prop cup with the words “World’s Most Dad” printed on them to the protestation (and bleeding) of his fingers.

“The Weekly Show,” where the pair discussed how political progressives have fallen far behind conservatives in the new media landscape.“I do think there should be some semblance of an idea that, look, [conservatives] are kicking progressive a– right now,” Stewart said.“And if progressives don’t organize their media, their think thanks, and all that, it’s going to continue to happen.”Psaki, a former White House press secretary under former President Joe Biden, retorted, “There is not a left ecosystem that matches the right ecosystem” and named popular comedic podcasters Theo Von and Joe Rogan, who each hosted Trump before the election, as part of the conservative media.“No, I would consider them in more probably libertarian comedic complex, you know,” Stewart said. “If you watch or listen to their shows, a lot of times it’s just pure goofing off.”“I think they are supportive, but they are not relentless in the Trump enterprise.
