Last week on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart was going off on a DOGE tirade, and he smashed his ceramic coffee cup on the desk. What happens when you smash glass on a desk? It smashes into a lot of pieces. That is what happened, and the host cut his hand. He really did a number on his fingers that he had to hide his bloodied hand under the desk for the rest of the segment.
Due to his on-air injury, his bosses at Paramount and Viacom met this week and said he is no longer allowed to have ceramic when he is recording the show. Therefore, yesterday, he debuted his plastic sippy cup. There is no way he can cut himself with that thing.
Talking about sippy cups, I hope he has one for Elon Musk when the big baby appears on his program. That is if Musk is man enough to accept Stewart’s offer. And we know that the man who is ruining this country never backs down from a fight, just like when he fought Mark Zuckerberg in a cage match. Whoops, that never happened because he wimped out.
Amazing how tough people like him sound behind a computer. In person, they are cowards who are easily scared.
Jon Stewart was hosting The Daily Show yesterday, and he decided to bring out some props like a lamp, a green visor, an accounting machine, and a mug that says World’s Worst Dad. What could go wrong?
Well… The anchor got so mad talking about the greed of pharmaceutical companies that he smashed the cup on the table, and it shattered. That caused him to cut his hand badly. So he hid it under the desk and continued on with the show for another almost five minutes. However, he did tell the audience he might have to go to the hospital.
At one point, he lifted up his hand, and it was covered in blood. He told the audience. “I’m fine.” But it did not look that way.
We don’t know if he went to the hospital. But he did tweet, “We’re back! New Daily Show tonight! It’s a bloody good episode…emphasis on bloody…I’m an idiot…” Therefore, if he can type that, he should be “fine.”
UPDATE: The Daily Show shared a video of Stewart After The Cut, and his hand was bandaged up with paper towels and duct tape. Because that is what electric people suggest for everything.
And don’t tell his wife about what happened. He is going to tell her a story that makes him sound like he sliced open his fingers by protecting an older woman on 54th and 10th.
Back in January, Comedy Central announced that Jon Stewart was coming out of retirement to host The Daily Show on Mondays through the election.
His return has been so lauded that the Emmys nominated the news show for Best Talk Show, and it won yesterday.
Stewart accepted the award. Then, he went backstage to talk to the press. Of course, they wanted to know if he is going to stay on with the show or go back into retirement.
He told Variety, “Well, my feeling is this election will never end. So why would I? How could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until the election until we’re all ground to some sort of calcified nubs. … We’re looking forward to it being awful.”
He might be looking forward to it being awful. But I am not. I want to go back to how life was before Trump when you could have political conversations and still be able to talk to the person you disagreed with. More importantly, I want the racists to go back into hiding. I miss those days when people didn’t brag about what awful people they are.
Jon Stewart has been hosting The Daily Show on Mondays, but he is going to miss tonight’s episode. That is because he “recently tested positive for Covid-19, therefore he will not be hosting this week and will return on Monday, August 12.”
Instead, Michael Kosta will be sitting in for him tonight, and the rest of the week.
Before Donald Faison went to MIT on EXtended Family, he went to Western Kentucky State University on Wrote It, You Watch It. He looks the same now as he did when he was 18 in that 1992 episode.
