US EditionJon Stewart Returns To ‘The Daily Show’ After Summer Break With Quips About Paramount-Skydance Merger & Trump Death Rumors
Jon Stewart resumed hosting The Daily Show after a summer break, satirizing the August Paramount-Skydance merger and addressing persistent rumors about Donald Trump's health and political influence.
- On Monday, Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show and addressed rampant rumors that President Donald Trump had died, marking his first taping since his vacation and the Paramount-Skydance merger finalized in early August.
- Last week, social-media chatter amplified the rumor that the hashtag '#TrumpIsDead' trended, while Karoline Leavitt said the White House attributed Trump's swelling to chronic venous insufficiency and handshakes.
- Fresh from vacation, Jon Stewart began by warning August's political quietude 'ain't normal,' then quipped 'The whole meat bag seems to be having some kind of drainage issue,' introducing The Daily Show clips of bruising and visitors offering honors to Trump.
- Stewart reassured his audience that `Trump is alive` while cautioning he would not call him `alive and kicking`, yet social-media speculation about his health shows no sign of slowing.
- Critiquing sycophancy, Stewart likened Trump's allies and inner circle to a Make-A-Wish kid metaphor and used a Twilight Zone analogy to highlight a troubling national tableau.
