In one clip, Rep. Marjorie Taylor…

It’s a good thing Jon Stewart agreed to return to The Daily Show. In the most recent episode, the temporary host decided to take it upon himself to solve the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which culminated in the current Israel-Hamas war. The late-night host recapped the war, explaining the recent reactions on all sides. He criticized the Biden administration for telling Israel to be more careful. “‘Could you please be more careful when you’re bombing?’ It’s good advice,” Stewart quipped. “But…

Tucker Carlson recently visited Russia to interview the country’s president/dictator Vladimir Putin and Jon Stewart has some thoughts. The Daily Show host addressed the Carlson incident after explaining the backlash he received about his show last week from Democrats. “It was never my intention to say out loud what I saw with my eyes and then brain,” Stewart said, apologizing to those he upset with his “both sides rhetoric.” He added, “I can do better.

During an “Indecision 2024” segment that anchored the first half of the show, Stewart aired exasperation over Donald Trump and Biden being the oldest-ever candidates for president, breaking a record they themselves set in the 2020 election.

Whenever a popular sitcom or drama from years ago tries to come back, I worry. The series that we love are so often a product of a specific moment in time for the people who make them, the characters on them, and the people watching. Change that moment, things start to feel wrong, and can even leave the audience questioning why they liked the original run in the first place.  The Daily Show isn’t exactly like those kinds of shows, though the hosts and correspondents work with scripted jokes, and often play…

Following Sunday night’s Super Bowl — where Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to an overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers for their third Super Bowl victory in three years, with a beer-chugging Taylor Swift and a number of other celebs looking on in Vegas — and the post-game premiere of some generic CBS show nobody cares about, Stephen Colbert hosted a special weekend episode of The Late Show.
