The late-night host also addressed the speculation of an appearance by Beyoncé
Kamala Harris accepted the Democrats’ nomination for president last night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but not without some commentary from Republican nominee Donald Trump. Jon Stewart had some thoughts about all of it as he broadcast The Daily Show live from the DNC, ultimately concluding that Trump has “morphed into a poor man’s cat turd.”
During the episode, Stewart started off by addressing the disappointment from fans that Beyoncé didn’t show at the convention. Joking that there would be a special guest, he showed a clip of Michigan rep Elissa Slotkin at the DNC. “You thought it was Beyoncé because everyone thought that it was going to be Beyoncé coming out there, but it was Slotkin all along,” Steward confirmed. “Everybody knew.”
Stewart talked through Harris’ speech, noting how great it was that we finally got to meet “Communist Kamala, the radical we have heard so much about.” He added, “If I was Donald Trump right now, I’d probably just be tweeting nonsensical shit to distract from the fact she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that’s been painted. By the way, that is what he’s doing.”
The late-night host then showcased Trump’s tweets, including “Walz was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH” and “IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?” “I swear to God the guy running for president on the Republican ticket has morphed into a poor man’s cat turd,” Stewart responded.
Elsewhere on The Daily Show, the Best F**king News Team, including Jordan Klepper, gave their takes on the DNC’s “small town values.”
The show also tapped Jason Bateman to narrated a clip about Harris being “normal.” The clip showcased several memorably weird moments from the Trump campaign and outgoing President Joe Biden before Bateman noted that after “just generally feeling like were trapped in a sadistic circus in the eighth circle of hell, it is time for America to return to normal. It is time for Kamala Harris. Just normal.”
