“After much reflection, meditation, and prayer,” Jon Stewart has officially “decided to extend [his] work week to two days,” according to a very on-brand press release. Whether it is because he missed out on being a regular member of the Strike Force Five podcast, hosted by his buddies Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver last fall, or—more likely—because the news is coming at a rate way too fast to be covered in just one day as of late, then new/old host of...
Jury selection for Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption trial began Monday, and “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart broke down the allegations against him. The New Jersey senator and former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is accused of taking bribes from three businessmen, among other crimes. The evidence against Menendez includes 13 gold bars seized by authorities during a raid of his home "I don't mean to get sentimental here,” Stewart joked, “but in what other country in the...
It’s hard out there for corrupt politicians trying to make a name for themselves these days. Imagine trying to get some eyeballs on the cartoonish corruption of members of Congress when the former president is on trial for defrauding voters by covering up hush money payments to a porn star who allegedly spanked his little bottom with a magazine. That’s the position Trump has put poor New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez in. Senator Menendez is one of the original American heroes of congressional...
“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart doesn’t mince words. “I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old.’ Don’t say what people see with their own eyes! You can say it, he can’t hear us,” Mr. Stewart said in a new comedy show on Netflix.

"I know you know how fucking old he is, and I know you don't want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he's so fucking old.""When you watch him on television, you're nervous, aren't ya?" Stewart continued."The Daily Show" host...

To mark the first day of Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption trial, Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart hitched a ride with Jimmy Kimmel and his family while they were on the school run.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 84, has raised eyebrows and some scorn by growing very rich during her years in the House.
Jon Stewart opened The Daily Show with the other political criminal trial grabbing headlines Monday — that of Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ). And, after ridiculing the ‘cartoonishly blatant corruption” he’s been charged with, the comedian schooled him in how he was perfectly placed in the U.S. Senate to enjoy corruption — without breaking the law. Menendez was arrested in September last year on federal corruption charges involving taking bribes for political favors. Jury selection in his...
Jon Stewart was a surprise host on “The Daily Show” Thursday, and sounded off on all of the “freedoms” Republicans claim are being taken away from Americans. Like gas stoves! Stewart joked that he is on the GOP’s side in this battle, complaining that he cannot make his “signature bananas Foster, because Joseph ‘Goebbels’ Biden is trying to ban gas stoves.” The Republican hand-wringing is especially disingenuous because the Biden administration’s new standards don’t affect 97% of gas stoves...
