“I see your bullshit.”
With that simple line, Jon Stewart set the internet afire. Again.
After gracing our screens earlier this week to help Colbert make some sense of the madness that is this year’s Presidential election, Stewart returned to CBS's The Late Show last night to comment on the Republican National Convention, the conservative media’s disposition towards Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and more.
For those people who still find themselves desperately wondering, “Where's Jon? I need Jon” at 11pm weeknights, it was like all their Chrismukkahs come at once.
“I was wondering if I can actually talk about the election a little bit,” Stewart said right before taking Colbert’s desk. “The Republicans appear to have a very clear plan for America. One, jail your political opponent. Two, inject Rudy Giuliani with a speedball-and-Red Bull enema, and, three, spend the rest of the time scaring the holy bejesus out of everybody.”
To illustrate his point, the former Daily Show host homed in on Fox News’ Sean Hannity–referring to him as “Lumpy” throughout the entire segment. In quintessential Stewart fashion, the host also briefly took jabs at current entertainment-related drama by bringing up the most recent Taylor Swift versus Kanye West headlines (without actually bringing them up, “I’ve been out of the business a while, I don’t know what that is") and saluting Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Expect to see more of Stewart in the upcoming weeks as, according to the Hollywood Reporter, The Late Show will focus on his outlook on all matters concerning the political conventions.
