Jon Stewart was back behind the desk of “The Daily Show” Monday night and went all in on Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron — but not before cracking a joke about his recent renewal. Kicking off the show, Stewart introduced guest David Corn, “who you know the Native Americans used to refer to as David Maize,” he said. I’m sorry.” Vance, or “Vice President Jeffrey Dahmer Vance,” as Stewart referred to him, was up first, with the host cutting to a recent clip of Vance apologizing to a woman for using “imperfect” rhetoric.
It was all just sloppy word choice. That was all on him.” Stewart then moved on to France — “where Paris is burning, and not in the not in that way, not in the good, fun way,” said the host — where riots exploded in the past weekend, which French officials have said had nothing to do with immigration, Islam, or Muslim communities. However, that didn’t stop Vance from tweeting that “western liberals imported the third world into France.” “Are you seriously suggesting that immigrants have brought a culture of revolution and protest to France?
What are you talking about? Have you ever been to the theater? Can you not hear the people sing?” said Stewart.
And yet, despite the riots in France, Emmanuel Macron attended a Celine Dion concert with his wife, a decision Stewart called out. As your country falls apart, you stand on the deck, enjoying the dulcet tones of the theme song from ‘Titanic.’” Stewart went on to explain that people in France were rioting over the rising cost of living and fuel prices, a result of the conflict in the Persian Gulf. In France, they’ve burned down an entire city because of a war they didn’t start and aren’t even any part of,” he joked.
Or one of those two,” he continued, laughing. The host went on to have a fake phone call with Trump, during which he asked if he knew who cut off Ukraine’s access to “Starlink or Star Shield, whatever it’s called.” “I didn’t do that,” Trump said. In fact, I don’t know where it is.
I don’t even think it was slowed down.” Ahead of Stewart’s Monday show, it was announced that he would remain the host of “The Daily Show” through 2028. Stewart’s contract was set to end at the end of 2026 after signing a one-year renewal in November 2025. Stewart made his hosting debut on “The Daily Show” in 1999, left in 2015, and returned in February 2024.
