Watch Jon Stewart's Brutal Anti-trump Screed Alongside Stephen Colbert

... to "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" Tuesday night to share inside information about President Trump's upcoming executive orders. It was Stewart's first appearance on the show since the eve of the 2016 election, when he participated in an elaborate musical number to get out the vote. For Tuesday's show, Stewart appeared in attire inspired by the inauguration, with a red tie so long it dragged the floor, and a dead animal strapped to his head. Stewart shared upcoming executive orders with Colbert: a scheme that involved China shipping the U. S. the Great Wall C. O. D. and tricking Mexico into signing for it, and a second order introducing an official, if offensive, language for the country. Stewart couldn't help but deliver an aside to his old friend Colbert. "It has been 11 days, Stephen. Eleven [expletive] days. The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public," said Stewart. Stewart then returned to his presidential character, reading one final executive order. "The reason I, Donald J. Trump, am exhausting is because every instinct and fiber of my ...

What Was John Oliver's First Segment With Jon Stewart? It's A Must-watch

... Daily Show , which you can watch on Comedy Central's website, Stewart introduces Oliver as the show's "new correspondent." Oliver, portraying a European news correspondent in front of a green screen that features London in the background, reflects on the British perception of the relationship between Blair and Bush, for which Blair is being mocked in the British press. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oliver's first clip was indeed trial by fire for the comedian. The Daily Show flew Oliver to the United States for the correspondent job (only his second time ever in the country) and put him on camera the very next day. Reflecting on his experiences during his first filming of The Daily Show, Oliver stated " I remember my legs going a little bit wobbly and then thinking: 'What the f- are you doing? You're about to get found out in a big way.'". Source: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images. In his Hollywood Reporter ...

We Have Never Faced This Before

... country after election of Trump. It was the first time Stewart has appeared on "The Late Show" since Trump, one of his biggest "Daily Show" targets, was inaugurated. "It has been 11 days, Stephen. Eleven f*king days," he said. "The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public.". To close the bit, Stewart read the final "executive order," a somewhat lengthy speech that resembled one of the comedian's old "Daily Show" monologues. "I, Donald J. Trump, am exhausting because it is going to take relentless stamina, vigilance, and every institutional check and balance this great country can muster to keep me, Donald J. Trump, from going full Palpatine," Stewart said, alluding to the evil "Star Wars" emperor. "We have never faced this before. Purposeful, vindictive chaos. But perhaps therein lies the saving grace of my, Donald J. Trump's, presidency.". Stewart continued, "No one action will be adequate. All actions will be necessary. And if we do not allow ...

Jon Stewart Joins Stephen Colbert To Mock The Media’s ‘breakup’ With Trump

... the press is un-American?” Colbert asked. Stewart switched gears. “Ohhh, it’s un-American not to like the press!” he said mockingly. “You know what I say? I say stop your whining, press! Can I talk to the media for a moment?” He looked directly into the camera. “Hey guys, hey media,” Stewart started. “So, I heard Donald broke up with you. Stings a little, doesn’t it? You finally thought you’d met your match. A blabbermouth who’s as thin-skinned and narcissistic as you are. Well now it’s over! Well, good riddance, I say! Kick him to the curb.”. Cue cheering from the studio audience as Stewart went on. “It is time for you to get your groove back, media. Because, let’s face facts, you kind of let yourself go a little bit for these past few years. You put on a few pundits,” he said. “Obsessing, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, about this one guy. ‘What’s Donny up to?! Did he say anything about us?! You think he’s gonna come on our show?! Do you think he even likes us? He doesn’t even have to come on. He can just call us! Oh Donny, please, just let us know you’re okay!’ ”. “It’s time to get your groove back, media.” – ...

Jon Stewart-produced Doc About A Syrian Refugee Camp Coming To Starz

... a way to tell the story of the camp, to provide some context for the families’ stories in a beautiful, real, and unobtrusive way that is particularly moving and urgent.”. “When we started working on this film three years ago, our goal was to put a human face to the Syrian refugee crisis. Unfortunately, the need for empathy and understanding has never been more urgent,” said Ching and Martinez. “Today the Syrian refugee resettlement program has been suspended in the United States. We implore everyone to watch this film and spend some time with these two families who are affected by war and are now seeking safety. Every day, we were so inspired by their hope, humor, and resilience and are incredibly grateful for their trust in welcoming us into their lives. We are so honored to help share their story with a wider audience and hope that someday soon, we can return the favor, and refugees will again be welcome in the United States.”. RELATED: ...

What Jon Stewart, Bono And Nicholas Kristof Understand About Trump Voters

... they're profoundly wrong, but please don't dismiss them as hateful bigots.". Kristof received a backlash among his liberal Twitter followers for writing that Democrats can come across as patronizing when they talk about Trump voters. The outrage amounted to, "Yes, of course we're going to be patronizing to people who voted for an ignorant racist hatemonger!" One reader wrote, "I won't coddle those who refuse to recognize my humanity.". And that's been much of the Left's response so far to Trump and the scores of millions of people who voted for him: I won't tolerate their intolerance, and I refuse to recognize the humanity of those who don't recognize mine.". It's not a very helpful approach, Kristof explains. Kristoff reviews all the reasons why he and other liberals think Trump is THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. But then he adds, "But let's be careful about blanket judgments.". He goes on to explain the economic and social factors that drove many of his old friends to support Trump, and says that he believes those factors had nothing to do with ignorance, race or bigotry. Also from the Washington Examiner. ...

John Oliver Talks Parenthood, Jon Stewart, And Hosting ‘last Week Tonight’ In The Trump Era

... Kellyanne Conway’s term “alternative facts” last month. That’s absurd. There’s nothing to be stunned about. Trump and everyone around him have been consistent to a fault in their behavior. There’s this sense that, well, D. C. is the dominant gene, and anyone who goes there will have to kowtow to how things are done there. But you’re dealing with a human wrecking ball. On whether Trump’s Twitter use is purposefully strategic to just “tantrums”. Is Trump strategic, or is he sophisticated enough to know the power of the kind of linguistic hand grenade that he has become? Because even if he isn’t, it’s a classic magician’s misdirection trick, isn’t it? Is he sophisticated enough to understand the power to distract people from what you’re doing with ridiculous behavior? And the party he nominally belongs to is definitely sophisticated enough to know that. They could get a lot of shit done while people are gasping over the things that Trump has said. You could do hard legislation in the shadows, because if a magician comes onstage and releases a chimpanzee into the room who starts throwing feces at people, it’s going to ...
