""Thursday's episode opened with a voiceover calling the program the "all-new, government-approved Daily Show, with your patriotically obedient host, Jon Stewart." "We have another fun, hilarious, administration-compliant show," Stewart said while pretending to shush the audience when they laughed. In his monologue, Stewart praised President Donald Trump sarcastically, calling him "our great leader" and a "perfectly tinted Trump." Stewart also commented on Trump's state visit to the UK, during which a reporter had asked the president about Kimmel's suspension.""
""I don't know who this Johnny Drimmel Live ABC character is. But the point is, our great administration has laid out very clear rules on free speech," Stewart said in his opening monologue on Thursday. Stewart usually hosts "The Daily Show" on Mondays, but the program said in an X post on Thursday that he would also be doing that day's episode."
Jon Stewart leaned into satire while addressing Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after ABC pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely. Stewart framed the program as a government-approved, administration-compliant show and pretended to shush the audience when they laughed. He sarcastically praised President Donald Trump as "our great leader" and a "perfectly tinted Trump." Stewart referenced Trump's UK state visit and a reporter's question about Kimmel's suspension, mocked the reporter as the "Antifa Herald Tribune," and referenced Trump's designation of Antifa as a "major terrorist organization." Stewart intentionally misspelled Kimmel's name while offering a "reasonable explanation" for the suspension.
