When Jon Stewart looked at the post of President Donald Trump looming over a patient, he saw something familiar.
“This is freaking me the out,” Stewart said on Monday night’s “The Daily Show.”
Stewart saw himself.
“Oh my God! Wait, the guy in the bed… can I just–? Are you–?” he said.
“Am I OK?” he asked the audience.
Watch:
Stewart looked at the whole scene, exclaiming, “What the f*ck?! Wait, what? How did I–?”
“I mean, look, I know I don’t have the vigor and spunk of my MTV days, but I didn’t know we were here already. I didn’t realize my look had reached leper territory,” Stewart said. “But thank God, in my time of need, I was surrounded by family.”
He then pointed to others in the picture.
“There’s my darling wife, Amy Lynn, hands clasped in prayer. My brother, Sergeant Chisel Jaw. Oh, look in the back, there’s Papy Joe. He and I stormed the capital together, me and Papy Joe,” he said. “And up at the top there, there’s the eagle that delivers my mail. And apparently the lead singer of GWAR is in the middle of there.”
“If you look at the– just the bottom there, it looks there’s just a guy’s hand. Not mine, just some other guy’s hand. Seems to be taking advantage of my infirmity to touch my penis,” he mocked. “I don’t know why… This is freaking me the out.”
Stewart said “not everyone in the Christian community took too kindly” to the post.
He then rolled back a clip of Trump defending the post, saying, “It was me. I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor.”
Stewart responded sharply, “Do you even care about lying to us anymore? Is this over?”
“Has this relationship gone stale? Your lies used to have a real spark. ‘They’re eating the cats and dogs! Venezuela stole the 2020 election!’ And now the best you’ve got is, ‘Eh, no, I wasn’t Jesus. I’m a doctor!’ You need to go back and find your happy place and fast,” Stewart said.
