'Oh my god!' Jon Stewart drops F-bomb on 'Daily Show' as he shreds Trump's helicopter tale
August 13, 2024
"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart issued a searing takedown of recent comments from former President Donald Trump, even dropping a profanity as he recounted the MAGA leader's helicopter tale.
The comedian kicked off his Monday night show by slamming the highly-anticipated — and widely panned — interview between tech billionaire Elon Musk and a slurring former President Donald Trump, sarcastically calling it an "amazing and surprisingly life-affirming conversation."
Stewart jabbed Trump and Musk's rambling conversation — which already started 40 minutes late due to technical issues — joking that his favorite part was when the two traded their favorite Maya Angelou passages.
"My interpretation of the Caged Bird is singing for Bitcoin," he joked, referencing the poet's famous autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."
After slamming Trump's "smart choice" of a running mate, Stewart poked the MAGA leader for essentially having to "start all over" with his attacks, now that President Joe Biden is out of the race.

"The audience literally has to sit through him getting up to speed," chided Stewart.
The show played a montage of Trump mispronouncing — and deliberately mistyping — "Kamala," as Stewart retorted: "I get 'Kuh-mala.' I get 'Kah-mala.' But 'Kamabla?'"
"Judges: are we taking 'Kamabla?'" he asks, answered by a buzzer noise.
Stewart took a moment to mock Trump's comments during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists, in which he questioned Harris' racial identity.
"'What am I going to do with all the Indian ethnic slurs I was going to use?'" Stewart asks, imitating Trump's speech and hand gestures. "It mostly involved turmeric and cumin. And she made a turn into Black."
The comedian then laid into Trump's story that he nearly died in a helicopter crash with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. After mocking the former president for claiming that as the chopper was going down — in 1990 — Brown turned to him and started bashing Harris, Stewart and his show delivered a haymaker, playing a clip of Brown suggesting it possible Trump was actually with another Black man — and made a mistake.
"That is so f---ed up! I'm sure that is not what happened," Stewart shouted. "What are the chances Trump is just mixing up his Black people?"
He then played a clip of an MSNBC host confirming it was former Los Angeles area lawmaker Nate Holden, who is also Black, confirming it was he who was actually in the helicopter.
"Oh my god!" Stewart says in disbelief. "Do you know what this means? Nate Holden, former Los Angeles city council member, told Donald Trump as their helicopter was going down bad things about Kamala Harris! That I guess Willie Brown had told him — if they knew each other!"
"That is the only explanation, right?" jabbed Stewart.
