The old Jon Stewart made a cameo appearance on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. We are under no illusion that Jon Stewart has returned to the era of making fun of both sides. More likely, it's now safe to mock Biden now that the Democrats made it okay to do so. Regardless, this video is a joy to watch.

That said, this is pretty funny and weirdly enough, even handed. Trump does not escape ridicule, which is fine. That's what political comedy is supposed to be about - pointing out truth in jest. Take a few minutes and watch this. It's pretty good stuff.
Back so soon? We hope you enjoyed it. Of course liberal comedy enjoyers hate it when you don't pander to their politics 100%.
Jon Stewart is turning into the Bill Maher of Dennis Millers.

Well there's always Colbert if your definition of comedy is to clap like a seal when your guys "own" the people you hate.
No no no, no.

This is crap. Jon is living in some contrarian fantasy land and this is it for me with him.
I’ve loved the guy for a very long time.
His takes this year on a whole host of things are trash.
So I’m done.
Yall enjoy him.
He doesn’t have a plan.
I’ve long since…
Talk about a "Dear Jon" letter. Poor JoJo.
This has taken priority in the media ahead of presidents being kings, a convicted felon and rapist running for president, one of the top policy guy in the GOP threatening a civil war, and a 1000 other things that are a much bigger deal than Biden’s candidacy. It’s over.

But, but, but RAPISTDICTATORHITLERTRUMP!! Gurl, take a few breaths into a paper bag
I always love your show and respect you immensely but you're just so off base right now and by the way here's the medical report from Biden's physicians.

Oh and Trump was shouting at him from outside our audio range because his mic was off.
Sadly, had to turn you off tonight…
I love you ... but you broke my heart!
Just from a stylistic perspective it’s easy to see why Stewart was the king of this stuff for so long and why none of the other late night dorks could match it. https://t.co/EkyxMTjm8X

Thinking people make thoughtful observations while people like JoJo from Jerz just wipe drool from their chin.

See comment above.
Totally agree with this. Not saying it can’t be Biden. But he has lost peoples faith in his ability to do four more years and he should compete to get it back with others who maybe better to be the existential threat that is convicted felon Trump. https://t.co/aduDIusns7

Dowling is no rightie. Quite the opposite, actually. And as an aside, he co-wrote one of this writers' all time favorite movies, "Role Models".
Hey.. I know you… aren’t you the guy that quit during the 2016 Trump campaign so you wouldn’t have to attack him and came back in 2023 just to help him get reelected after he lost?

Aren’t you the guy that supported the PACT ACT and acts like Biden isn’t the guy who signed it… https://t.co/4GLHLav5my
On the other hand, there were some relatively famous people who not only couldn't deal, but short-circuited out. Anyone who said what Stewart did must be in cahoots with Trump.

It's very heartening to know that there are so many on the left who haven't drunk the Kool-Aid.
To see #BlueMAGA turn on Jon Stewart in the replies just goes to show what an brainwashed crowd they are. 🤦♂️ https://t.co/8J7HGRiiCb

And look, if the pro-Gaza hippie, all the hashtags far-left account gets it, maybe there's something to this?
I’ve always thought Jon Stewart was very smart, very fair and I’ve always trusted him to be a good honest person. To see people like @JoJoFromJerz turn on him really exposes the delusional psychos who will pee on your head and tell you it’s raining. “Sheep only” she says! https://t.co/baMThHmLr2

Make no mistake, Stewart is a creature of the left. But like Maher, he doesn't fall into the boring, unfunny pit that is being a cheerleader for one side.
