Jon Stewart has been watching the television coverage of the Donald Trump hush money trial, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.
“It has been another big week of wall-to-wall, nonstop penis-to-penis coverage of Donald Trump’s trial,” Stewart said at the start of his Comedy Central The Daily Show monologue Thursday (he switched from his usual Monday night spot this week). “The ubiquitous coverage is numbing, fading into televised wallpaper with insight that only occasionally crackles through.”
Some examples of that insight? Cue the tapes:
CNN reports that Donald Trump greeted Stormy Daniels in that hotel room wearing “satin or silk pajamas.”
Said Stewart: “WHICH?! I need to know!”
Another report, stating Stormy and Donald had sex “in the missionary position.”
Said Stewart: “No wonder Trump has locked up the Evangelical voting bloc….Tell us more.”
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: “Not wearing a condom…”
Stewart: “Don’t tell us more!”
Also on Stewart’s radar, the hypocrisy of conservative Matt Schlapp weighing in on the Boy Scouts name-change to Scouting America, and Congressional Republicans ranting over claims that Joe Biden is coming for our gas stoves.
Pointing out that 97% of existing gas stoves comply with Biden’s new energy efficiency standards, Stewart added, “No disrespect to any of these f*cking idiots but I think we can move household appliances down on the threat to democracy list, just below aluminum-free deodorant.”

Anne McCarthy The 49th season finale of “Saturday Night Live” opened with James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump speaking at the barricades of a Manhattan courthouse, in a nod to Trump’s ongoing legal woes amid his presidential campaign. Johnson as Trump spoke about his “weird and depressing” state at the courthouse, saying, “I don’t like being in court because they say very mean things about me as I’m trying to sleep.” (It was reported that Trump fell asleep in court during proceedings.) He goes on to say, “now that my defense is supposed to begin on Monday, I would love to testify; I’m not afraid to testify at all, I’m just not going to out of fear.” He continues to say how he doesn’t want to go back to the White House, “but it appears people want to send me there.” Johnson’s Trump pokes fun at Trump’s rigged election claims, too.
