Kamala Harris accepted the Democrats’ nomination for president last night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but not without some commentary from Republican nominee Donald Trump. Jon Stewart had some thoughts about all of it as he broadcast The Daily Show live from the DNC, ultimately concluding that Trump has “morphed into a poor man’s cat turd.”

During the episode, Stewart started off by addressing the disappointment from fans that Beyoncé didn’t show at the convention. Joking that there would be a special guest, he showed a clip of Michigan rep Elissa Slotkin at the DNC. “You thought it was Beyoncé because everyone thought that it was going to be Beyoncé coming out there, but it was Slotkin all along,” Steward confirmed. “Everybody knew.”

Stewart talked through Harris’ speech, noting how great it was that we finally got to meet “Communist Kamala, the radical we have heard so much about.” He added, “If I was Donald Trump right now, I’d probably just be tweeting nonsensical shit to distract from the fact she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that’s been painted. By the way, that is what he’s doing.”

The late-night host then showcased Trump’s tweets, including “Walz was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH” and “IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?” “I swear to God the guy running for president on the Republican ticket has morphed into a poor man’s cat turd,” Stewart responded.

Elsewhere on The Daily Show, the Best F**king News Team, including Jordan Klepper, gave their takes on the DNC’s “small town values.”

The show also tapped Jason Bateman to narrated a clip about Harris being “normal.” The clip showcased several memorably weird moments from the Trump campaign and outgoing President Joe Biden before Bateman noted that after “just generally feeling like were trapped in a sadistic circus in the eighth circle of hell, it is time for America to return to normal. It is time for Kamala Harris. Just normal.”

Kim Kardashian Denies Involvement in Sex Tape Release. Ray J’s Lawyer Calls it ‘Perjury’

Kim Kardashian’s defamation lawsuit against Ray J took another turn this week, with Kardashian insisting she never conspired with her mother to release her infamous sex tape — and Ray J’s lawyer calling the denial “demonstrably false” and possible “perjury.”

“His claim that I had a plan with my mother and others to release a sex tape, defraud the public, and file a ‘fake’ lawsuit against the porn company that released it to ‘create buzz’ is a lie,” Kardashian wrote in a sworn declaration filed Tuesday. “My family and I are not part of a criminal enterprise; we have not conducted racketeering activity, nor have we profited from racketeering activities as the defendant claims.”

‘America’s Next Top Model’ Warped Her Story. Dani Evans Is Having the Last Word

Dani Evans has learned to trust her gut instinct. It’s a habit she’s developed since the events that took place 20 years ago on America’s Next Top Model and after she walked away with the grand prize, only to learn that it had come with a hefty price. “If something within me is a ‘no,’ then I can’t give my attention to it, no matter what it is,” she tells Rolling Stone. “That’s how I’ve built my personal ethos.”

In 2005, Evans saw winning the hit reality TV show as a one-way ticket out of Little Rock, Arkansas. At the time, ANTM was an entertainment juggernaut. Evans says she knew the series — which had young models living under one roof and competing in high-stakes photo shoots to win a modeling contract — was made to humiliate the girls on-screen, but her brother convinced her it was an opportunity to fulfill her dreams as a model in New York.
