Watch Jon Stewart Recap the Democratic National Convention: ‘What a Night for Kamala Harris’

Watch Jon Stewart Recap the Democratic National Convention: ‘What a Night for Kamala Harris’

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.”

Rutledge (Chase Stokes) and his friends Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and JJ (Rudy Pankow) — in an ongoing ideological battle against their rich counterparts, the Kooks. And this heated rivalry was immediately complicated by John B.’s sudden discovery of sunken treasure.

Family members, longtime friends, colleagues, and even an ex-boyfriend, who hosted the gathering at his home, spent the evening drying tears and laughing as they exchanged memories of McCollough: how she always forgot her keys, her silly made-up language that they somehow all became fluent in, and the sheer magic that was Kat.

Grand Jury Indicts Nick Reiner in Alleged Murder of Parents Rob and Michele Reiner

A Los Angeles grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on charges he murdered his parents, the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and photographer-philanthropist Michele Reiner, last December in the family’s Brentwood home.

The indictment, unsealed Wednesday, allows prosecutors to bypass a public preliminary hearing where they otherwise would have to present witness testimony to persuade a judge there’s enough probable cause to warrant a trial. After the secret indictment was unsealed, Nick pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, prosecutors said. He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife. His next hearing is set for Sept. 15.
