On Thursday night (18.09.2025), John Stewart undertook to respond to Donald Trump. While the broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel It was suspended by the ABC, the comedian opened the “Daily Show” self -presented as “a patriotic obedient host, government -approved”, imitating the stress of a presenter who is constantly under surveillance.
In his characteristic caustic style, John Stewart ridiculed Donald Trump and his own view of security: he described New York as a “criminal cavity” worthy of military intervention and then imagined Trump equipped with a “scientific device”. If this index falls low, jokes, the FCC must immediately be mobilized to block huge billions of billions of bids, referring to the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
Although he did not comment immediately on the assassination of Charlie Kerk, Stewart threw continuous points to freedom of speech in the United States, recalling that today’s political pressure threatens to radically reshape the television landscape.
Behind the satire is a clear message: Kimmel’s suspension and pressures on the media open, according to Stewart, a time when comedy itself turns into a field of resistance.
