The 24-hour news cycle is the worst thing ever to happen to broadcast journalism.

Thank you for showing the hypocrisy and ridiculous nature of the media. They have so much responsibility for where we are now.

[ahambrahmas]

I've heard the phrase "the walls are closing in on trump" probably around a thousand times since 2016

[zamdrist]

Does the news media not even realize how ridiculous they are!?

[kernsaudiovisuals]

BREAKING: he's in a room. and he's sitting.

I'm so sick of hearing about Trump. I was sick of it 6 years ago.

[christopherfarley]

And, they wonder why people hate Corporate Media!!! Thank You Jon for Calling It Out!!!

[halleck]

There you go, Stewart... making me laugh about the state of this nation when I should probably be crying about it. Thanks, man.

[timothyhall]

As if just having Jon back wasn't enough. We have the return of Jessica Williams!

[Mike]

I think I speak for all of us when I say we need more Jessica Williams in our news coverage.

"He was in front of me kind of to the left"
- literally anyone in the courtroom besides the judge

I turned off cable news in my house in 2005. I cannot believe that people are still doing this. Like, it upsets me more than most things.

The entire interaction between Jessica and Jon was so unhinged and amazing 🎉🎉🎉

[johnathanrhoades]

I love that sketch artist’s sigh. “I was 50 feet away, ma’am” in such a defeated tone 😂

[sophieamandaleitontoomey]

As far as I’m concerned, the media’s obsession with Trump is a heavy reason as to why we’re in this mess.

And on a more positive note, I’d know that voice anywhere and it was so exciting to see Jessica Williams and Jon doing a segment together again.

John & Jessica in a classic attempt to save America 🇺🇸 in a non violent entertaining moment … thanks 🙏 for the smiles you’ve given us all 🇨🇦

"And sir, why were you dismissed from the jury?"

"Apparently, I look just a little too similar to Jon Stewart."

[LegendaryLuke]

Jon Stewart, makes the daily show the best news comedy show on YouTube, thank you for coming back. 😊

[daviswall]

“Did I have jury duty this week?” You are hilarious Jon!!!

[lisalasers]
