Jon Stewart is facing online backlash after the comedian opined on air this week that Donald Trump’s civil real estate case overvaluing his properties was “not victimless” — when it turns out the price of a previous home sale finds Stewart doing the exact same thing, The Post has learned. On Monday night, Stewart, 61, unpacked Trump’s $454 million appeal bond, calling out experts framing the former president’s New York civil case as not causing direct harm to any one individual. “The Daily Show” host rolled a clip of CNN’s Laura Coates interviewing “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary, who commented...

Still suffering after years of having the insufferable clown Trevor Noah as its host, the Daily Show, which airs on “Comedy” Central, has proven once again to be nothing but a leftist propaganda mill that is obsessed with shilling for Democrats. So desperate is the network for ratings that it recently took back Jon Stewart to host on Monday nights, hopeful that the show could gain some form of relevance. The Daily Show is the program that unleashed Steven Colbert on the American people, another insufferable egomaniac who, despite having probably two dozen or more writers, still proves to be...

Multimillionaire Jon Stewart has a message for Mayor Adams and the millions of other everyday New Yorkers being slammed by the migrant crisis: Suck it up. On Monday night’s Daily Show, the comedian slapped Adams for changing his position on migrants, contrasting a clip of the mayor lauding the pro-immigrant message on the Statue of Liberty in 2022 with him declaring “we have no more room in this city” in July 2023. “It took two bus loads of Venezuelans” to get Adams to change his tune, Stewart snarked. Two bus loads!? Try up to 600 illegal migrants per day, and...

Dr. Phil quickly figured out how open-border advocates deal with their critics. “You’re a racist” for wanting any semblance of immigration control. This week, Jon Stewart proved Dr. Phil right in the ugliest way possible. The “Daily Show” host brought up the porous U.S. southern border in a 10-minute screed brimming with misinformation, bias of omission and more. For all of Stewart’s comedy skills, he’s also a deeply dishonest pundit. He proved it again Monday night. Along the way, he suggested Dr. Phil was gay for noticing fit, military-aged men were entering the country illegally. The bit opened with a...

Comedian Jon Stewart devoted his monologue on the Daily Show Monday evening to criticizing Israel’s response to the Hamas terror attack, and mocking the Biden administration for not clamping down on what he called a five-month bombing campaign. The show was Stewart’s third since returning from an extensive hiatus to take the reins on a weekly basis, on Monday evenings. Stewart mocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan for postwar Gaza: “So your peace plan is a siege?” He claimed, falsely, that Netanyahu was trying to end the “idea” of Hamas, likening it to George W. Bush’s “mission accomplished” in...

One-time fans who perhaps remember comedian Jon Stewart only taking satirical swipes at conservatives while host of The Daily Show were shocked and aggrieved when he returned to host the program after almost nine years on Monday to take aim at President Joe Biden. During an “Indecision 2024” segment that anchored the first half of the show, Stewart aired exasperation over Donald Trump and Biden being the oldest-ever candidates for president, breaking a record they themselves set in the 2020 election. (In his usual self-deprecating style, he also took a moment to lament his own age and appearance.) The monologue...

We apparently have Apple TV+ to thank for Jon Stewart’s much anticipated return to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, with tonight marking the first time he’s occupied the anchor desk during the network’s flagship news show since leaving in 2015. Stewart will be hosting the show on Mondays throughout the 2024 election season, and it turns out there are at least two reasons why: Apple. And China. Specifically, before Apple cancelled his Apple TV+ talk show The Problem With Jon Stewart last year, the comedian reportedly got into it with the iPhone maker over the content of three episodes he...

THE DAILY SHOW is bringing back beloved former host Jon Stewart on a part-time basis to shepherd the late-night show through the 2024 election season. Following Trevor Noah’s exit in December 2022, the series spent 2023 relying on a revolving door of special guests and correspondents to hold down the fort while Comedy Central settled on a permanent host. However — despite Roy Wood Jr.’s very public pleadings at the Emmys — The Daily Show has opted not to bring in a full-time host, and instead will have Stewart return for Monday night broadcasts.

Jon Stewart’s show on Apple’s TV streaming service is no more — and China was reportedly an issue. Stewart and Apple have parted ways after executives at the tech giant expressed misgivings about future episodes of the show that would potentially delve into sensitive topics such as China and artificial intelligence, according to The New York Times.The move brings about a surprise end to “The Problem With Jon Stewart,” which ran for two years on Apple TV+. Initially, the show was a ratings flop, managing a meager audience in its first season. But the second season brought several viral moments....

Public officials concealed their conflicts of interest and role in funding research that may have caused the pandemic, says health reporter Emily Kopp.Journalists and scientists routinely dismissed the lab leak hypothesis as a crackpot theory and even as "racist," up until the summer of 2021 when science journalist Nicholas Wade published an influential article, and a viral rant by Jon Stewart pushed it into the mainstream. Until that point, social media platforms had been removing or throttling posts that took it seriously. Anthony Fauci, who didn't respond to our interview request, said it wasn't worth even considering the possibility that...

Jon Stewart is still miffed over the backlash he faced last year for backing the COVID-19 lab leak theory during a now-infamous appearance as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The comedian revisited the controversy during the latest episode of his AppleTV+ show “The Problem with Jon Stewart” on Monday – one day after a bombshell revelation that the US Energy Department now views a lab leak as the most likely explanation for the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the revelation, Stewart downplayed the notion that he was vindicated by the classified report, which has yet...

Liberal talk show host Jon Stewart has accused Democrat Joe Biden’s family of “straight up” “corruption.” Stewart admitted that Hunter Biden’s board position with the notoriously-corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma is “corruption, straight up.” In the latest episode of his Apple TV+ podcast “The Problem with Jon Stewart,” the former Daily Show host spoke with British journalist Gabriel Gatehouse. Stewart said, “Let’s say it was real and people just thought, well, the one thing in it maybe is 10% to the big guy, which is circumstantial at best. “But as far as like, look, Hunter Biden being on the board...

A Johns Hopkins University economist wasn’t having any of has-been comedian Jon Stewart’s gaslighting over the true source of America’s inflation crisis: a drastically inflated money supply. Economist Steve Hanke joined the Oct. 19 edition of Apple TV’s The Problem with Jon Stewart and didn’t mince words. “Inflation is always and everywhere caused by one thing: too much money. Period,” Hanke said. “That’s the end of the story. It is simpler than you think.” Stewart immediately tried to retort with pseudo-economic reasoning: “I’ve read studies that contradict that, but I don’t know.” Hanke didn’t waste time rebutting: “Whatever you’re reading...

When Jon Stewart left the Daily Show in 2015, he averaged 1.3 million viewers per night. After seven years of humiliating failure, Stewart’s hand-picked replacement, some guy named Trevor Noah, is slinking off with an average viewership as of last week of 363,000 viewers. During his failed reign, I made something of a cottage industry ridiculing Stewart’s pathetic ratings. The corporate media bent over backward to juice the far-left and smugly dishonest Stewart into a national phenomenon when the truth was that less than one percent of Americans tuned in. Jon Stewart was a “phenomenon” in CNN’s eyes only, a...

@codeofvets Replying to @jonstewart You are not a veteran. You do not speak for us. You made it about politics. It is about the $400B. It is infuriating but expected. The PACT Act needs to state: $280 billion for toxic exposure health care. That is it. The additional $400 BILLION needs to be removed.

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) had a brief response to comedian Jon Stewart calling him out specifically while criticizing Senate Republicans on Wednesday for blocking a bill to provide healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving abroad. “That’s not worth responding to,” Toomey said when asked for his reaction. The military burn pits bill, or PACT Act, initially passed the 100-member Senate with the support of 34 Republicans and all 50 Democrats. It would increase spending by more than $300 billion over the next decade and dramatically boost health care services and disability benefits for veterans exposed...

Jon Stewart is struggling to gain traction on his new talk show, according to a report. “The Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg. The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March. Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes...

Stewart decried the American Dream as a 'fallacy' for anyone who isn’t White in a recent episode -------------------------- Former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart’s woke new series "The Problem with Jon Stewart" has been dubbed a flop, according to new reports. Stewart’s Apple TV+ show, which debuted in September, averaged only about 180,000 U.S. homes within the first week. By the fifth episode in March, viewership went down 78% to only 40,000 U.S. homes within seven days, according to Bloomberg.

Jon Stewart is coming to the defense of fellow podcaster Joe Rogan over the uproar surrounding “misinformation” about vaccines that has prompted calls for Spotify to sever ties with its $100 million star. Stewart, the former star of Comedy Central’s Daily Show who is now hosting his own gabfest on Apple’s streaming service, said on Thursday that “canceling” Rogan would be akin to banning Stewart from television for his opposition to the Iraq War in 2003. “The New York Times, right, was a giant purveyor of misinformation, and disinformation,” Stewart said of the newspaper’s editorial support for the Iraq war.

As musicians pull out of Spotify over Joe Rogan, Jon Stewart is coming to the podcast host's defense. The former host of The Daily Show on his podcast discussed artists like Neil Young leaving Spotify in protest of COVID-19 misinformation on Rogan's show The Joe Rogan Experience. Stewart criticized "overblown rhetoric" about Rogan, arguing he's not "an ideologue in any way" and is open to being corrected when he's wrong. When it comes to the Spotify protest, Stewart said that in general, his philosophy is "don't leave, don't abandon, don't censor, engage."
