‘Daily Show’ to Fox News Following Jon Stewart Secret Obama Meetings: “Adios Motherf*ckers”
Jon Stewart went on the attack against Fox News for perhaps the final time on The Daily Show on Monday night. Stewart, who is leaving the show on Thursday, went after the network's theory that he is a propagandist microphone for the Obama administration after those "secret" meetings were reported. Fox was addressing the recently revealed news that Stewart and President Barack Obama had secret meetings at the White House. On the show, Stewart pointed out that Fox New was making this claim without any evidence.
He offered to help them make the argument against himself. Stewart went step-by-step showing all the different ways they could have proven that he is a propagandist. Instead, of course, he used those tactics against Fox News to show their conservative bias.
Stewart showed a series of clips from his show of him criticizing the Obama administration. He also showed a montage of Fox News hosts saying "even Jon Stewart" about times that Stewart had criticized Obama. During the segment, the host showed a series of clips showing Fox News' bias as shown live on their station.
"My hunch is that this show has been harder on the Obama administration and this president per capita than you ever were in your eight years of Bush finger-banging," Stewart said.
Finally, he turned around and mimicked throwing a grenade at Fox News, and the display screen behind him lit up like it had exploded.
"Adios, motherf*ckers!" Stewart shouted.
As he laughed at the fake destruction, someone off-screen shouted that he still has three more shows left, so can't say a real goodbye to Fox News quite yet.
Take a look at the segment below:
Stewart is ending his 17-year run on The Daily Show this Thursday, August 6. Trevor Noah will be taking over his duties.
Amy Schumer was also on the show on Monday. The comic spoke seriously about the shooting that occurred during a showing of her movie Trainwreck in Louisiana. She had a press conference earlier on Monday with her cousin, Senator Chuck Schumer, about gun control.
