Jon Stewart took an surprising flip internet hosting The Every day Present on Thursday evening, praising “the perfectly-tinted” “nice father,” Donald Trump, amid the continuing controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC’s airwaves.
Quite than touch upon Kimmel’s suspension immediately, Stewart took the genius strategy of illustrating a not-so-distant future through which all media is “administration-compliant.” “We’re coming to you tonight from an actual shithole, the crime-ridden cesspool that’s New York Metropolis,” he mentioned to introduce the episode. Broadcasting from a gold palace and carrying Trump’s trademark garb (a swimsuit and purple tie), Stewart spent the primary ten or so minutes lavishing effusive reward on the president.
Finally he addressed the Trump administration’s censorship of Kimmel by mentioning its personal hypocrisy in proscribing free speech. “Now, some naysayers could argue that the Administration’s speech considerations are merely a cynical ploy, a skinny gruel of a ruse, a smoke display screen to obscure an unprecedented consolidation of energy and unitary intimidation; principle-less and coldly antithetical to any experiment in a constitutional republic governance,” Stewart quipped. “Some folks would say that. Not me, although, I feel it’s nice.”

As an instance his level, Stewart performed a number of clip packages that includes Trump officers and their sycophants. One centered on Trump officers spreading blatantly inaccurate info on tv, whereas one other highlighted figures like Donald Trump Jr., Kari Lake, Rachel Duffy, Pete Hegseth, and Trump himself, joking about violence towards liberals. The irony, after all, is that conservatives have known as for Kimmel’s present to be pulled from ABC over these very points.
