Jon Stewart doesn’t necessarily think Joe Biden should drop out of the presidential race, but said it’s important to “open up the conversation.”
In a new episode of “The Daily Show” on Monday night, Stewart ruminated on the calls from some influential Democrats for Biden to step down after a disastrous debate against Donald Trump, while others argue that it’s too late in the election cycle for a new candidate. The host said blind support for Biden may not be the way to go, as “get on board or shut the fuck up is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker.”
“I am in no way saying Biden’s gotta drop out, but can’t we stress test this candidacy?” Stewart asked. “Can’t we open up the conversation? Do you understand the opportunity here? Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint...

Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show desk on Monday to assess President Joe Biden’s bumbling performance during the first 2024 debate in June. Stewart played an array of video clips of both Biden and his allies offering a litany of excuses following the debacle.
“For a campaign based on honesty and decency, the spin about the debate appears to be blatant bullshit, and the redemption tour hasn’t gone that much better,” Stewart said. “We’re told that the threat of Trump is so great and the stakes are...

Following President Joe Biden‘s debate with Donald Trump, Jon Stewart can’t help but wonder which candidate will get the country’s final rose.
As the comedian returned to The Daily Show on Monday, he compared the presidential race to The Bachelor amid concerns that there’s not enough time to replace Biden on the Democratic ticket ahead of the November 5 election.
“Four months is for-fucking-ever,” he said. “Britain just held an election in two months. France had two in one month, defeated fascism and still had time to have an affair with Denmark.”
Stewart continued, “Four months is 119 days. There are contestants on The Bachelor, who haven’t even met yet, that will get married and divorced between now and the election. We have nothing but time.”
ABC previously renewed The Bachelor for season 29 in May, and production on the dating show is underway.

Jon Stewart criticized Joe Biden and the White House’s response to ongoing concerns about the president’s mental fitness and candidacy.
Returning to The Daily Show on Monday night, Stewart played clips of Biden struggling with his words while trying to reassure voters in the wake of his disastrous debate performance on June 27, and showed clips of his supporters giving an array of excuses (some since debunked) to explain the president’s performance.
“For a campaign based on honesty and decency, the spin about the debate appears to be blatant bullshit, and the redemption tour hasn’t gone that much better,” Stewart said. “We’re told that the threat of Trump is so great and the stakes are so high that even bringing up these absolutely legitimate concerns about the President’s ability to do the most vigorous job in the world for the next four years is enabling fascism.

The Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was held 11 days ago but the majority of late-night hosts have been off since it occurred.
Tonight was Stephen Colbert’s first chance to discuss the debate and he didn’t sugarcoat it.
The Late Show host said that he believes Joe Biden a great and successful President.
“So, should he stay? Should he go? Who am I to recommend? I don’t know what’s going on in Joe Biden’s mind. Something I apparently have in common with Joe Biden,” he said.
Colbert said that during the 90-minute CNN debate, Biden’s rival for the Presidency, former President Donald Trump “proved once again that he is demonstrably a monster”.
“Going into it, all Joe had to do was allay people’s fears that he was too old, but instead, Biden’s shakiness allowed Trump to get away with 90 minutes of lies,...

Hasan Minhaj released a new online talk show Monday, close to a year after the comedian was reportedly one of three finalists to host The Daily Show. The YouTube series Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know’s first episode features an interview with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. They discussed a wide range of topics, including whether President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are too old to run, a free IRS website to file taxes, whether people in Congress should own stocks and governmental thirst traps, including “Do you want...

After missing out on the chance to be the new host of The Daily Show, Hasan Minhaj is launching his own online talk show.
The comedian has launched Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know and kicked off the series with an interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren.
The series doesn’t look too dissimilar from Minhaj’s Netflix show Patriot Act and he created it with Prashanth Venkataramanujam, showrunner of that series, who now serves as Chief Content Officer for Minhaj’s production company 186K Films.
Scott Vrooman, who was a writer on Patriot Act and Getting Warmer With Kal Penn, serves as showrunner of the series.
The first episode concentrates on a familiar topic: The age of the President. Minhaj will be filming and releasing a number of these shows in the run up to the election.

There was nothing going on in terms of American or international politics over the last few weeks that late-night would have gotten its teeth into, right?
The majority of late-night hosts were enjoyed some time off over the last couple of weeks, but the likes of Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon are back in the studio and ready to dig into the news of the day.
Will they find time to discuss the state of the U.S. Presidential Election, President Biden’s debate performance and the subsequent calls for him to exit the race and former President Trump’s own debate performance, his ties to Project 2025 and his search for a Vice President?
The Late Show will have some guests on this week that will be able to help. Tonight, the CBS show will have CNN anchor Abby Phillip on, alongside Michael Douglas and a dog adoption segment featuring Antony Starr,...

Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski’s imaginary friends have a date with Paramount+. Paramount Pictures’ If is set to begin streaming on the platform on July 9 in the U.S. and Canada. International Paramount+ markets will be announced at a later date.
If debuted at No. 1 at the domestic box office in May and has since grossed more than $185 million worldwide.
Written, directed by and starring Krasinski and Reynolds, the film poses the question: Ever wonder where your imaginary friends go when they’re no longer in your brain? The title doubles as both a cryptic description and an abbreviation for “Imaginary Friends.”
The film follows a young girl (Cailey Fleming) who discovers that she can see everyone’s imaginary friends, known as Ifs. She embarks on a magical journey to reconnect forgotten IFs with their kids, before they disappear.
Steve Carell voices a large purple creature named Blue. In addition to Krasinski,...

In a stunning reversal, David Ellison’s Skydance Media and Paramount Global controlling shareholder Shari Redstone have returned to the M&a altar.
The companies have reached terms on a revised merger agreement for Redstone’s National Amusements Inc. just three weeks after Redstone abruptly pulled out of a planned combination, multiple people familiar with the talks told Deadline. Nai controls almost 80% of voting shares in Paramount.
A special committee of Paramount’s board of directors, which was formed to evaluate strategic options for the troubled media company, is currently reviewing the updated deal terms, according to sources. The Wall Street Journal earlier Tuesday reported on the revived discussions.
Reps from Paramount, Skydance and Nai declined comment.
The proposal currently being considered would see Skydance pay $1.75 billion for Nai. That’s less than what the parties had previously agreed to for the first step in a two-step transaction bringing Nai under...

After making comedies about the pro-golf circuit, the school system and college football, Adam Sandler decided to explore the hilarious world of child endangerment with Big Daddy, which also featured pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart, a pre-Knocked Up Leslie Mann and a pre-constantly publicly embarrassing himself Rob Schneider.
Big Daddy recently turned 25, and to mark the anniversary, The Hollywood Reporter chatted with producer Sid Ganis and co-writer Steve Franks, all about how the beloved comedy came together.
The interview is full of intriguing behind-the-scenes tidbits, including the fact that the story was originally set at a theme park, owing to the fact that Franks penned the first draft of the script while working at Disneyland. But it was originally titled Guy Gets Kid, which kind of makes it sound like a revenge movie about a man seeking payback against a child.
Either way, it was the dead-end Disneyland job that provided...

Jon Stewart hosted the first live episode of The Daily Show of 2024, in response to Thursday’s presidential debate/carnival sideshow. Somewhat cathartically, Stewart’s opening segment ended with the host screaming, “This cannot be real life! Fuck!”
Following a less-than-ideal performance, many pundits are now calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race, and one name that’s been suggested to replace Biden’s on the Democratic ticket is Jon Stewart — presumably because of his successful return to The Daily Show, name recognition and a mistaken belief that the electorate is brimming with Death to Smoochy fans.
This isn’t the first time that someone has floated the idea of Stewart running for president. In addition to various rumors and op-eds, back in the mid-aughts, during the height of The Daily Show’s popularity and influence, Rain Man director Barry Levinson made a movie that...

Twenty-five years ago, Adam Sandler’s Big Daddy wiped the floor with the competition.
Sony released the comedy feature from director Dennis Dugan (Happy Gilmore) on June 25, 1999. The film opened to $41 million domestically en route to collecting $234 million globally ($442 million today) and holding the title as Sandler’s highest-grossing title domestically until Hotel Transylvania 2 in 2015.
Big Daddy centers on Sonny Koufax (Sandler), an unmotivated law school graduate who attempts to prove himself by adopting 5-year-old Julian (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) when the boy shows up at his doorstep. The cast includes Jon Stewart, Joey Lauren Adams, Rob Schneider and Leslie Mann.
During separate conversations with The Hollywood Reporter, producer Sid Ganis and writer Steve Franks (credited for the screenplay alongside Sandler and Tim Herlihy) discuss how Disneyland helped inspire the project and recall Chris Farley lobbying for the lead role.

Jon Stewart saw what we all saw last night, and he’s just as scared as the rest of us.
On the left side of our screen, we had a liar and a convicted felon. On the right side— well, it’s hard to even describe what happened on the right side.
Suffice it to say, Thursday’s CNN-hosted debate was not Joe Biden’s night. Whatever rumored cocktail of brain-and-body-kickstarting drugs the sitting U.S. president is supposedly on is simply not strong enough. Get this man the Jose Canseco mix — and then some.
“Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs. As much of it as they can get, as many times a day, as their bodies will allow,” Stewart said. “Performance-enhancing drugs that will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems, and in one of the candidate’s case,...

Jon Stewart went live on The Daily Show on Thursday night (June 27) following the CNN debate between President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and he, like many, was left exasperated. “We just watched what you watched,” the late-night host began before airing clips from various news media pundits sharing their thoughts on what Biden and Trump needed to do to have a successful debate. For Biden, it was to stay alert, don’t stumble, and “stay upright,” while for Trump, he needed to play “nice” and not interrupt. As far as Stewart was concerned, Biden and Trump failed on pretty much all these fronts other than staying on their feet. The comedian showed clips of Trump continually insulting Biden for having “the worst presidency in history” and then aired the various moments where Biden stammered or lost his train of thought mid-sentence. “Anybody can f*** up talking,...

Last night’s presidential debate gave late-night hosts a lot of joke fodder, and they truly made the most of the opportunity. Despite several shows being dark this week, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel stand-in Martin Short went in hard on the showdown between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
On The Daily Show, Stewart broke down the debate, which he explained mostly consisted of Trump’s lies and Biden’s senior moments. The host showed various clips from the televised debate, including when Biden fumbled a response about Medicare.

Jon Stewart and CNN panelists reacted to that very dramatic — and disturbing — debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on Thursday night.
On a live edition of The Daily Show, host Stewart roasted the performances of both candidates, and seemed massively frustrated. Stewart was particularly concerned by Biden’s performance, with the president seeming pale, fragile and shaky onstage during CNN’s 90-minute telecast.
“The one thing that we did prove tonight is that Maga conspiracy theory about Biden’s upcoming debate performance was nonsense,” Stewart said (video below), and rolled clips of conservatives claiming Biden would use performance-enhancing drugs to be charged up during the debate. “Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance enhancing drugs — as much of it as they can get, as many times a day as their bodies will allow.

“This cannot be real life. It just can’t,” said an animated and live Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
The Comedy Central show was airing live Thursday after the presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, and Stewart didn’t hold back his disappointment about the evening.
“We just watched what you watched,” he said at the top of the show.
“Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs. As much of it as they can get. If performance enhancing drugs will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems, and in one of the candidate’s cases, improve their truthfulness, morality and malignant narcissism, then suppository away. They should take whatever magical drugs can kick their brains into gear, because this ain’t Olympic swimming,” he added.

Jon Stewart got behind “The Daily Show” desk Thursday evening for a special, live-broadcast edition, going on air minutes after the first 2024 debate between President Biden and former president Donald Trump concluded on CNN. The host didn’t mince words, attacking both candidates’ performances and criticizing their inability to put together a coherent argument during the event.
“Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate: both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs,” Stewart said, getting a round of applause from the studio audience. “If performance-enhancing drugs will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems and, in one of the candidate’s cases, improve their truthfulness, morality and malignant narcissism, then suppository away.”
During Stewart’s monologue, the audience could be heard cringing and gasping when clips from the debate were played. The “Daily Show” host also took the space to criticize CNN’s month-long promotional campaign for the debate,...

If there was any winner in Thursday night’s first presidential debate, it was CNN. If there was a loser, it was absolutely Joe Biden.
Throwing the already tight race into a tailspin for the faltering incumbent almost from the very beginning, the most memorable line maybe Biden’s inability to finish some of his own sentences. Otherwise, Donald Trump’s declaration that “I didn’t have sex with a porn star,” and his rival’s badly delivered line that “you have the morals of an alley cat,” could be what history remembers.
What anyone who saw or heard the Jake Tapper and Dana Bash moderated clash between the 45th and the 46th Potus’ can’t deny is that the 78-year-old Trump was energized and relatively succinct. On the other hand, as Trump ramped it up, the 81-year-old Biden was rambling and halting over the course of the night even...

Updated, 7:53 Pm: “It was a game-changing debate in the sense that right now, as we speak, there is a deep, a wide and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” CNN’s John King said immediately after the the first debate of the 2024 presidential election season between Joe Biden and Donald Trump ended.
President Biden got more energetic and direct as the debate went on, but he finished in a bit of a jumbled statement.
Former President Trump dodged questions and launched into falsehoods multiple times, but the immediately takeaway was that he skated by absent a rival with a better political agility.
Biden’s performance left some of his supporters in entertainment stunned and dismayed. “It was a really disappointing debate performance from Joe Biden,” Kate Bedingfield, the president’s former communications director, said on CNN.

“Legalize humor!!” cry the creators of The New Norm Show as they post a clip of “comedy” so painful that it’s probably actionable under the Geneva Convention.
Right now, Rupert Murdoch’s right-wing media empire is hard at work establishing a foothold for the long-mocked category of “conservative comedy” on new media platforms through massive investments in Fox Nation projects for such marketable mainstream talents as Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr and Jimmy Failla. Since the viewership demographics of Fox’ current comedy offerings overlaps so severely with the target audiences of email scammers and “Make America Great Again”-branded mobility scooters, you’d think that Fox executives would be falling out of their seats to fund a fresh, colorful comedy series on a platform frequented by those generations that are young enough to open PDFs.

Trevor Noah went out with a bang on “The Daily Show.” After seven years behind the anchor desk on the comedy news series, he stepped down at the end of 2022, and then won the 2023 Emmy for Best Variety Talk Series. Did he take the awards mojo with him, or will “Daily Show” prevail again in 2024?
After Noah’s exit the series cycled through a series of celebrity guests. Then the correspondents started taking turns as host. And in February came the return of the man who could be key to the show’s Emmy fortunes: Jon Stewart. When Stewart originally hosted the show from 1999 to 2015, he created an awards dynasty: “The Daily Show” won Best Variety Series 11 times. Then he passed the baton to Noah, but a new dynasty started elsewhere: “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” began its winning streak in 2016 and hasn’t lost the top program award since.

The State of the Race
The Outstanding Talk Series category was initially projected to only have three nomination slots this year, which would have been a huge bummer, because the primary issue people have with it is that it’s just more of the same every year.

The Daily Show is firming up its plans for coverage of the two major political conventions this summer — including a pair of live shows with Jon Stewart.
Comedy Central’s late-night show — which has enjoyed a sizable upswing in ratings since Stewart’s return in February — will go live on the final night of each convention: July 18 for the Republicans in Milwaukee and Aug. 22 for the Democrats in Chicago. Stewart will host the live episodes, moving from his usual Monday-night spot in the anchor’s chair to the end of the week.
The show’s news team will host the Monday to Wednesday shows (which will be taped a few hours ahead of their 11 p.m. Et/Pt airing) during the convention weeks as part of The Daily Show’s “Indecision 2024” coverage. Correspondents Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic will be on hand at both convention sites; Dulcé Sloan,...

Jon Stewart took the opportunity on Monday’s episode of The Daily Show to lay out “a quick state of play” on the upcoming presidential election in November, while also debunking the GOP narrative of crime in major cities.
“I guess the election has basically boiled down to each candidate accusing the other of having soup where there should be brain,” Stewart declared in his opening monologue (back in February, the host roasted both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for their age-related blunders).

Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show on Monday, offering “a quick state of play” on the 2024 presidential election.
As the comedian dived into the “incredibly consequential” political showdown, he called out the hypocrisy of Donald Trump attempting to paint Joe Biden as incompetent over his age.
“I guess the election has basically boiled down to each candidate accusing the other of having soup where there should be brain,” said Stewart.
He showed a video of President Biden at an event, “seemingly staring at what could only be considered ghosts… or out-of-frame paratroopers,” and then “somehow giving the impression someone has just Quantum Leaped into his body”
“And as for Trump, basically it’s Trump tripping over his own dick any time he tries to capitalize on Biden’s age,” said Stewart.

Jon Stewart is opening up about the problem with Apple.
After his current affairs show The Problem with Jon Stewart was canceled in October following two seasons, the Emmy Award winner explained that he “knew we were in trouble.”
“They didn’t censor me, it wasn’t free speech,” said Stewart on The Town podcast. “When you work for a corporate entity, that’s part of the deal, even at Comedy Central. The deal is I get to do what I want until it’s going to hurt their beer sales or whatever it is they want to sell. And that’s the deal we all make.”
He recalled an interview with economist Larry Summers, who asked him if he thought “Apple was somehow gouging, or doing something wrong.” At the time, Stewart responded with an immediate “Yes, of course!”

Jon Stewart continues to open up about his split from Apple after parting ways with the tech giant after hosting two seasons of “The Problem.” Stewart debuted the talk show in 2021 as part of a multi-year first-look deal with Apple. The first season of the show aired episodes every two weeks, while the second season switched to a weekly format. The streamer confirmed last October that Stewart’s program would not return.
“They didn’t censor me, it wasn’t free speech,” Stewart recently said on “The Town” podcast (via Rolling Stone) about the end of his Apple relationship. “When you work for a corporate entity, that’s part of the deal, even at Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart weighed in on the abrupt end of his Apple TV series The Problem With Jon Stewart this week, further detailing the disagreements he and Apple had on the content he wanted to produce for the platform.
“They didn’t censor me, it wasn’t free speech,” Stewart told Puck journalist Matt Belloni on the latest episode of his podcast The Town. “When you work for a corporate entity, that’s part of the deal, even at Comedy Central. The deal is I get to do what I want...

Jon Stewart’s return to The Daily Show seems to be an unqualified success, but his two-season run on Apple TV? Mmmm, not so much. What went wrong? Stewart talked to Matt Belloni on The Town podcast to dissect the uncomfortable marriage between satirical comedy and colossal corporate interests.
The Problem with Jon Stewart was shaky at the start, he said, partly because he was rusty after a few years off. But a bigger issue was a disagreement over his approach to the show. If The Daily Show dealt with the weather (a metaphor for the troubling issues of the day), The Problem would address the climate — the larger environmental factors that cause society’s problems. “I felt invigorated again,” he explained. “There was something about changing that perspective and looking at it from this slightly askew place that felt revelatory to me.
“And then Apple said we would prefer you not do that.

Since The Last Update
With the start of Emmy nominations voting arriving on Thursday, campaigning has been happening everywhere, at least in and around Los Angeles.
In recent days, one could find top-tier contenders on FYC panels (Jon Stewart and the other hosts of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show flew out from New York for theirs) and roundtables (check out THR’s), at the Ross House in Mt. Olympus (even campaigning-averse Donald Glover of Mr. and Mrs. Smith showed up), at the races (Sebastian Maniscalco promoted Max’s Bookie at the Santa Anita track) and even on pizza boxes (ABC is pushing Abbott Elementary to consumers of Prime Pizza).
Many chose this moment to share positive news about their contender — for instance, Apple announced the renewal of Palm Royale for a second season. Others, curiously, elected this moment to drop bad news about their contender — HBO/Max announced the cancellation of Tokyo Vice,...
