  • Jon Stewart Takes a Bite Out of His Old Boss on 'Daily Show' Return

    Jon Stewart Takes a Bite Out of His Old Boss on 'Daily Show' Return
    2024/04/04
    Jon Stewart, the acclaimed late-night TV host, has once again made headlines by taking a significant jab at his former employer, Apple, during the latest episode of "The Daily Show." The incident occurred on Monday when Stewart was interviewing Lina Khan, the chair of the Federal Trade Commission, and accused Apple of discouraging him from inviting Khan onto his podcast while he was working for the tech and entertainment giant based in Cupertino, California.
    Stewart's revelation comes amidst legal troubles for Apple, as the U.S. Justice Department and 16 state attorneys general, including California's, have recently filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it has attempted to monopolize the smartphone market. During the interview with Khan, Stewart referred to his short-lived podcast, "The Problem With Jon Stewart," which was an extension of the Apple TV+ series of the same name. The podcast lasted two seasons before concluding in April 2023, shortly before Stewart returned to lead Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" for the first time in nearly a decade.
    "I wanted to have you on a podcast," Stewart told Khan during the show. "Apple asked us not to do it. ... They literally said, 'Please don't talk to her.'" He then questioned Apple's sensitivity and their fear of having these conversations in the public sphere. Apple has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding Stewart's allegations.
    This incident is not the first time Stewart has clashed with Apple over creative differences. In February, he revealed to "CBS Mornings" that he had initially planned to cover the 2024 election cycle on "The Problem With Jon Stewart" but was met with resistance from Apple, who "decided that they didn't want me to say things that might get them in trouble." Reports also suggest that Stewart and Apple had disagreements over issues related to China, where many Apple products are manufactured.
    During Monday's "Daily Show" episode, Stewart also dedicated a segment to the dangers of artificial intelligence, another topic he claims Apple objected to him covering. As hundreds of coders and other IT specialists have been laid off by major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Meta in recent months, concerns about AI displacing jobs have intensified.
    Since announcing his return to "The Daily Show," Stewart has quickly recaptured the attention of audiences with his signature passion and humor, as observed by Times news and culture critic Lorraine Ali in February. Comedy Central reported a 48% increase in viewership (from 1.65 million to 2.44 million) just a week after Stewart's comeback.
    Stewart's recent "Daily Show" episodes have consistently generated headlines, delving into his perspectives on various political issues and his critiques of powerful figures. His return to the show comes approximately a year after Trevor Noah hosted his final episode, concluding his seven-year tenure as the host of the Comedy Central series.
    As Jon Stewart continues to make waves in the late-night TV landscape, his willingness to confront his former employer and tackle controversial topics has solidified his position as a vital voice in the entertainment industry. His ongoing presence on "The Daily Show" is expected to shape the political discourse leading up to the 2024 election cycle, while his role as an executive producer ensures his influence will be felt on the program through 2025. Thanks for listening to Quiet Please. Remember to like and share wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Stewart on Trump's Fraud Case

    Stewart on Trump's Fraud Case
    2024/03/28
    The stage was set for a scathing critique as Jon Stewart, the renowned host of "The Daily Show," took aim at the investment community's hypocrisy in labeling Donald Trump's alleged fraud case a "victimless" crime. In a powerful and impassioned monologue, Stewart laid bare the double standards that seem to pervade the world of finance, where the wealthy and well-connected appear to operate by a different set of rules than the average citizen. The opening salvo of the show featured a montage of clips, predominantly from Fox News and Fox Business, in which pundits downplayed the severity of the New York civil fraud case against Donald Trump, which seeks damages to the tune of $454 million. These commentators dismissed the crimes as "victimless" and, in the words of "Shark Tank" alum Kevin O'Leary, "done by every real estate developer on earth in every city." Stewart, never one to shy away from calling out absurdity, retorted with biting sarcasm, "There is a theory in law that if enough people commit a crime, it automatically becomes legal." But Stewart's ire was not limited to the pundits on Fox. He directed his fury at the financial community as a whole, exposing the entitlement and arrogance that seems to permeate the industry. "The f–king entitled arrogance. I don't know if you know this, but most people just can't commit fraud and expect to face no repercussions even if everyone's doing it," Stewart exclaimed, his voice dripping with contempt. He drew stark comparisons to the everyday struggles of ordinary citizens, pointing out the dire consequences they would face for even minor transgressions. "Try getting a car loan by saying you make 10 times as much money as you really do, or claim 20 dependents when you have no children, or say you make slightly less money to qualify for food assistance," Stewart challenged his audience. "I guarantee you there are not just financial consequences for those lies, but criminal ones." His words struck a chord with viewers, highlighting the glaring disparity between the treatment of the wealthy elite and the average person. But Stewart was just getting started. He turned his attention to the investment community's apparent disregard for rules and principles, as long as profits were being made. "But don't tell that to the investment community, because in their eyes there is no rule that cannot be bent, there is no principle that cannot be undercut as long as you and your friends are making money," he declared, his voice rising with each word. At this point, the "Daily Show" audience erupted into applause, but a fired-up Stewart was not ready to relinquish the stage. "Hold on, I'm not done! If I could raise my chair up I would," he exclaimed, his passion palpable. Stewart's unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power was on full display, and his audience hung on his every word. Stewart then delivered a scathing indictment of the capitalist system's apparent moral failings. "Apparently the only immoral practice in the capitalist system is to use that money for people who may need it," he remarked, his words dripping with irony. To drive his point home, he played a series of clips from Fox News and Fox Business, in which hosts like Sean Hannity vilified welfare abusers and shoplifters stealing food. The contrast between the treatment of the wealthy and the struggling was stark and undeniable. Earlier in the segment, Stewart had addressed the fallacy of claiming that Trump's financial crimes were victimless. "First, the banks got paid back at lower interest rates, although to be honest who gives a shit?" he quipped, his trademark wit on full display. "But second, money isn't infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn't go to someone who's giving a more honest valuation, so the system becomes incentivized for corruption." Stewart also pointed out that the consequences of Trump's alleged fraud extended beyond the immediate case. "And this is part of a different Trump fraud case, but avoiding taxes hurts all of us. Donald Trump shenanigans cost the city of New York, and let's be frank here that is money that the city of New York could have used to build more Walgreen's," he added, his sarcasm cutting through the absurdity of the situation. As the segment drew to a close, Stewart's message was clear: the double standards and hypocrisy that seem to pervade the world of finance and politics are not only unjust but also deeply harmful to society as a whole. By calling out the entitled arrogance of the investment community and exposing the disparities in how different groups are treated, Stewart gave voice to the frustrations and anger felt by countless Americans. In a world where the wealthy and well-connected seem to operate by a different set of rules, Jon Stewart's impassioned critique served as a rallying cry for accountability and justice. His words resonated with viewers across the country, sparking conversations about the need for greater transparency, fairness,...

  • Jon Stewart laughs at Greene

    Jon Stewart laughs at Greene
    2024/03/23
    Jon Stewart, the renowned comedian and host of The Daily Show, has taken aim at Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial Georgia representative, in a scathing segment on his current show, Stewart's biting commentary came in response to Greene's recent stunt at President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, where she showed up wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, a red blazer, and a "Biden Border Crisis" pin. During the episode, Stewart played a clip of Biden approaching the podium at the Capitol, surrounded by a divided Congress. As the camera zoomed in on Greene, Stewart quipped, "And so, Biden entered the House Chamber, navigating through our divided congress and barely, barely, getting past the bridge troll who guards the podium." The comparison of Greene to a "bridge troll" was a sharp jab at the representative's confrontational and divisive political style. Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has been a polarizing figure in American politics. She has consistently supported Trump's baseless claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential race and has even attempted to impeach Biden. Her unwavering loyalty to Trump and her controversial statements have made her a target for criticism from both Democrats and more moderate Republicans. Despite the threat of removal from the State of the Union address due to her MAGA hat, Greene refused to comply with the warning from the Sergeant at Arms. While Congress doesn't have a strict dress code, head coverings were banned from the floor until 2019. Moreover, House rules prohibit the use of government premises for conducting campaign or political activities, which Greene's attire could be seen as violating. In addition to her MAGA hat, Greene wore a badge featuring the face of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant. Greene has been a vocal critic of Biden's border policy and used Riley's tragic story to push her agenda, urging the president to "say her name" during the speech. This is not the first time The Daily Show has taken aim at Greene this week. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the show shared a photo of Greene's outfit at the State of the Union address, comparing it to the staff uniform at the restaurant chain TGI Fridays. The caption read, "When you're a waitress at K.K.K. Fridays," drawing a comparison between Greene's red attire adorned with badges and the restaurant's distinctive uniforms. However, this post faced backlash, with some users accusing the show of indirectly mocking Riley's death with the joke. Greene's unwavering support for Trump has been a defining characteristic of her political career. She recently celebrated a "bloodbath" at the National Republican Convention, where Trump allies took control of the event, reportedly leading to significant staff cuts. Greene triumphantly declared on X, "MAGA is now in control of the Republican Party!!" In February, Greene made headlines when she accused Democrats of trying to give Trump a "death sentence." Her comments came in the wake of the passing of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died while serving time for fraud charges in an Arctic jail. Opponents of Putin believe Navalny's imprisonment and death were politically motivated. Greene drew a comparison between Navalny's case and Trump's legal struggles, suggesting that Democrats could do the same to the former president. Greene has also been a vocal supporter of Trump's claims of corruption in the 2020 general election. She, along with several other Republican candidates, faced the risk of disqualification due to their association with these claims. However, a Supreme Court ruling in March determined that Trump could not be removed from the Colorado ballot, effectively ending other ongoing eligibility disputes. Jon Stewart's mockery of Marjorie Taylor Greene as a "bridge troll" is just the latest example of the comedian's willingness to call out politicians for their controversial actions and statements. Stewart, who has a long history of using humor to tackle serious political issues, has never shied away from criticizing those in power, regardless of their party affiliation. Greene's stunt at the State of the Union address, along with her history of divisive rhetoric and unwavering support for Trump, has made her an easy target for comedians like Stewart. However, it also highlights the deep political divisions that continue to plague the United States, with politicians like Greene seemingly more interested in generating headlines and pushing their own agendas than in working towards bipartisan solutions to the country's problems. As the United States continues to grapple with issues like immigration, election integrity, and political polarization, it is clear that figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene will remain a fixture in the news cycle. While comedians like Jon Stewart may use humor to call out their controversial actions, it is ...
