BREAKING: Jon Stewart just SHREDDED ABC and Disney for cowardly bending to Trump’s threats and taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air in a BLISTERING monologue for the ages. Stewart did NOT hold back!
In the 20-minute monologue, Stewart brilliantly exposed Trump’s obsession with silencing critics and mocked the pathetic executives who bent the knee by taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
Stewart launched his monologue with a clip of Trump, who, bragging from overseas, smirked: “Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else. And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings and they should have fired him a long time ago.”
Stewart SHREDDED that excuse: “This is how free speech works in America, folks. There’s a completely scientific instrument — a talentometer — that sits on the president’s desk. And when a performer’s ‘talent quotient,’ measured mostly by how nice they are to the president, drops too low, the FCC is notified. Threats are made. Mergers are blocked. And poof — critics disappear. It’s basic science. Read your Constitution.”
Then Stewart turned the blade on Trump’s hypocrisy. He rolled clip after clip of Trump whining that Democrats can’t call Republicans “fascists” or “enemies of the state.” Stewart pounced: “Those are the rules, right? You can’t say fascist, you can’t say enemy of the state, you can’t say less than human.” Then he cut to Trump in his own words: “The Democrats, they’re fascists. Joe Biden, he’s an enemy of the state. Nancy Pelosi? She’s an animal. Of course, I think she’s an animal too.” Stewart smirked: “Technically correct. She’s not a mineral.” The hypocrisy was laid bare.
But the moment that landed like a gut punch was when Stewart called out Trump’s disgusting cruelty toward Paul Pelosi, who barely survived a brutal hammer attack from a MAGA nutcase in his own home. Trump Jr. had already mocked the assault with a Halloween “costume” meme. Trump himself sneered during a speech: “How’s her husband doing, by the way?”
Stewart lit into him: “You stop in the middle of a speech to inquire about the condition of an 82-year-old man who was attacked in his own home. He has a fractured skull, Mr. President — but thank you for asking. Your kindness is only outshined by your manliness.”
That’s the heart of it: this isn’t just authoritarian, it’s sadistic. Trump and his MAGA goons think a brutal assault on an elderly man is punchline material. And Disney and ABC just gave Trump the gift he wanted most — silencing one of the last comedians willing to call him out (especially now that Trump succeeded in pushing Stephen Colbert off the air.).
Stewart also torched Trump’s delusional boasts overseas, where he preened before the British royals and bragged that America is now “the hottest country anywhere in the world” and that he personally “ended all the wars” — even confusing Azerbaijan with Albania. Stewart deadpanned: “Do better. Dumb B.” The absurdity of a U.S. president treating international diplomacy like an improv bit left viewers in stitches — and in horror.
Stewart then skewered Trump’s latest whitewashing of the Capitol riot, where Trump insisted the mob wasn’t violent insurrectionists but merely “sightseers.” Stewart pounced with venomous sarcasm: “Technically true — because anything you look at is a sight. Even if that ‘sight’ happens to be you punching a cop in the face. ‘I see, therefore I am sightseeing.’” With one line, Stewart turned Trump’s absurd spin into a national punchline, mocking the idea that breaking windows, smearing feces, and hunting down lawmakers with zip ties could somehow be rebranded as a peaceful guided tour.
Stewart ended with pure satire, mocking the cult of personality Trump demands: “You ended eight to ten wars. You deserve all the prizes. You have a massive penis, much bigger than normal. Your operation warp speed got us the COVID vaccine… You’re a superhero who needs no cape.”
The parody was brutal — because it was true. Wanna-be-king Trump wants WORSHIP, not criticism. He wants OBEDIENCE, not comedy. And now, with Kimmel gone, Stewart warned the stakes couldn’t be higher: “Some people would say this is just a cynical ploy, a smokescreen to consolidate power and intimidate critics. Not me though. I think it’s great.” You could literally TASTE Stewart’s brilliant sarcasm and condescension through the screen.
Stewart’s message couldn’t be clearer: This ISN’T about Jimmy Kimmel. It’s about democracy and free speech. If Trump can have comedians silenced for mocking him, NOBODY is safe.
