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

... Stewart apparently lives under Stephen Colbert’s desk now — or at least, he shows up whenever his old Comedy Central pal calls him for a segment. Stewart stopped by CBS’s “The Late Show” on Monday to mock the media’s “breakup” with President Trump, spurred by the incident last Friday when several news outlets were banned from an informal White House press briefing. [ CNN, New York Times, other media barred from White House briefing ]. “It’s like they say, if you love the First Amendment, set it free. If it comes back, don’t let it in the press briefing,” Colbert said at the top of the segment. “And the root of all this is that Trump calls any story he doesn’t like ‘fake news.’ ”. All of a sudden, Stewart crawled out from under Colbert’s desk. He confessed that he misses being on television. Colbert assured him that he has a spot at “The Late Show” anytime, and pulled up a chair for his ...

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

... 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 ...

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

... and Starz On Demand. Directed by Steph Ching and Ellen Martinez, the timely documentary focuses on two refugee families and some of the aid workers at the Zaatari Refugee Camp, the largest Syrian refugee camp and home to 80,000 displaced people. With the Syrian crisis now in its sixth year, the main question in the film is whether or not these families can start rebuilding their lives in this camp. “We’ve all seen the hyperbole and the polemics, and the propaganda about who these refugees are and what these camps are and to see it in its most stark human, objective form is beautiful,” said Stewart in a statement. “[Filmmakers] Steph and Ellen found 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 ...

We Have Never Faced This Before

... night, wearing an incredibly long red tie and a fake animal on his head to warn that the "purposeful, vindictive chaos" of President Trump is something the country has never faced. Stewart's funny outfit led the CBS host to ask whether he was impersonating the president. "I thought this is how men dress now," Stewart deadpanned to his old colleague Colbert. "The president sets men's fashion. I saw the inauguration, super long tie, dead animal on head. Boom.". The former "Daily Show" host, laughing and with his costume coming apart, then read off "future" executive orders of the Trump administration that included changing the national language. "The new official language of the United States is bulls*t," Stewart read. "I, Donald J. Trump, have instructed my staff to speak only in bulls*t.".

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

... 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 be pretty easy for him to make a couple of moves and end up with a woman sawed in half [laughs]. They could get an incredible amount done while people are distracted by just the volume of nonsense. On what Jon Stewart’s been up to lately. You’ve gotta be able to do a year off. ...

He can really get a lot of stuff undone," Colbert continued. "From Obamacare to climate change to torture, he's already moved the country back to 2004. If this keeps up, pretty soon I'm going to launch the Colbert Report.". The Daily Show's Trevor Noah discussed the travel ban with Hasan Minhaj, a Muslim. "We're on day 11, man! That's it, where do you think this is going to go? It's like watching the first episode of Breaking Bad thinking, 'Oh, it's just a science teacher cooking meth. It can't get any crazier.' But it does!". Earlier, Noah spoke about the protests at airports across the country. "People in the airport were pissed, and it's not because they're at the airport. Welcome to Trump's America. That's how bad the Donald is. No matter how bad the situation you're in, Donald Trump can always make it worse.". The implementation of Trump's ban was "so sloppy and confusing," according to Late Night's Seth Meyers, that officials were "caught off guard" and a judge ordered a stop to all ...
