Jon Stewart’s opening phase on “The Daily Show” received crashed by “prodigal son” John Oliver on Monday evening.
Stewart kicked off the present by speaking about Tremendous Bowl Sunday, and Donald Trump’s unhappy try at overshadowing the occasion by asserting he was signing a proclamation declaring it “Gulf of America Day.”
“It’s very historic,” Stewart joked. “I’m sure we’ll look back on this day fondly when America is swallowed up by the rising waters of the Gulf of America.”
“It’s been a good run, America,” Stewart mentioned after operating by way of the numerous methods during which our Structure is now being razed to the bottom by world’s richest on-line troll Elon Musk, with the GOP’s obsequious consent.
“It looks like we’re becoming less like the constitutional republic it’s been for 250 years, and more like the monarchy that we all fought to escape from,” Stewart continued earlier than being interrupted by a slow-clapping Oliver, whose look led to wild cheers from the viewers.
“Do my eyes deceive me?” Stewart requested. “Is that, is that young John Oliver? Are you here to offer America your wisdom and your counsel?”
“Oh, no. No, no, John, I am here to gloat,” Oliver mentioned.
The England-born Oliver has used his personal HBO present to discuss his expertise immigrating to the USA and the method of turning into a citizen.
“Let me be the first to welcome America to its monarchy era,” Oliver continued. “Congratulations, everyone! You can now take your place in the pantheon of great empires alongside the British, the Roman, the Klingon, Wakanda … whatever one Babar the Elephant was the ruler of, I forget.”
Just a little gallows humor appears applicable proper about now.
