Jon Stewart reacts in “The Daily Show” to Kimmel’s suspension with amusing Trump loyalty.
On Thursday evening (September 18th), comedian Jon Stewart surprised the audience of “The Daily Show” with a satirical staging that was equal to a propaganda program. Instead of commenting directly on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension through ABC, Stewart was a dystopian future in which all media report and tremble with fear.

“The Daily Show”: Hymnen on Trump
At the beginning he welcomed the audience: “We come to you from a real shithole tonight, the swamp contaminated by crime, which is New York City.” The stage had been turned into a golden palace. Dressed in a dark suit and red tie, oriented to Donald Trump’s typical look, Stewart first sang praise anthem on the US president, whom he described as “perfectly tinted” “great father”.
Criticism of the Kimmel suspension
Only later did he refer to Kimmel’s suspension. Stewart attacked the government sharply without dropping the satirical mask. “Well, some naggers may argue that the speech concerns of the administration are only a cynical maneuver, a thin soup of a grint, a smoke curtain to obscure an unprecedented collection of power and intimidation,” he said. “Some people would say that. I don’t, I think it’s great.”
Stewart showed several players to clarify: In a widespread Trump-related politician: inside and commentator: Interior false information, in another joke figures like Donald Trump Jr., Kari Lake, Rachel Duffy, Pete Hegseth and Trump himself about violence against political opponents.
The irony, which Stewart emphasized: While conservative voices are demanding Kimmel’s dismissal because it supposedly crosses limits, similar or much more radical statements in the area of Trump are publicly accepted.
What happened ?
The broadcaster ABC took the popular talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” indefinitely. Previously, the moderator had commented on the attack on the right -wing activist Charlie Kirk in his show. Kimmel criticized the “Maga gang” that tried to reject the perpetrator politically.
Immediately before the removal, large ABC partners such as Sinclair Broadcasting and Nexstar from Kimmel had distanced themselves. Sinclair announced that instead to radiate a memorial program for Kirk. Nexstar spoke in a press release of “insulting and insensitive comments in a critical phase of political discourse”. Whether the successful late night show returns is uncertain given the heated atmosphere in the USA.
Charlie Kirk was shot on September 10 during a performance on a university campus in the state of Utah. The 31-year-old was considered one of the most influential right-wing activists and as a mouthpiece of President Donald Trump for young people. According to the authorities, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson shot Kirk from one roof. He was arrested and charged by the public prosecutor’s office for murder. Shortly after the attack, Kimmel Kirk’s family contacted her condolences.
