Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart dusted off his Donald Trump impression for a stand-up show close to Veterans Day. The event, Stand Up for Heroes, was part of the New York Comedy Festival, and like he used to at his alma mater, Stewart took down the likes of Trump and his fellow GOP candidate, Ben Carson.

Stewart reportedly took to the stage alongside fellow New Jerseyan Bruce Springsteen. The two have been longtime performers at the Stand Up for Heroes event, headlining it for the past number of years.

Once taking to the stage, the comedian mocked his new grey-bearded look – "I can't believe it: Jon Stewart's grandfather is here!" – and proceeded to ask the crowd if the country is seriously "doing this Donald Trump thing."

"People are like, 'I like Trump; he says what he thinks,'" Stewart said, adding, "What he thinks is stupid."

To which the audience happily let out shrieks of laughter.

After moving on from Trump – a guy he equated to an "Internet comment troll" running for the POTUS seat – Stewart switched over to Dr. Ben Carson and explained that he is "f*cking crazy" despite his soft-spoken voice.

So, just who does Jon Stewart think will be in the White House come January 2017? Well, like much of the Democratic voters in the United States, he seems to think it'll be frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton's going to be president," he said. "Even if she loses, she will f*cking be president. She will not be denied."

Alongside Stewart were comedians John Oliver, Seth Meyers and Ray Romano. Meyers hit the GOP candidates much like Stewart; Romano, however, kept it on the lighter side—with the exception of one Trump joke, which seemed to be a win.

"Here's the thing, folks, when you have a TV show, and you will. Everyone's going to get one. You're all going to get a show. It's going to be like jury duty. When President Trump gets elected, he's going to make a law: you have to have a show."
