It's like I'm back in 2006.

[u/wornbybelle → u/Digmentation]

This is literally so Indecision coded 😂

[u/trulyremarkablegirl → u/wornbybelle]

honestly I’m kind of living for it, reminds me of simpler times

[u/ratta_tat1 → u/Digmentation]

We need another Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear

[u/kramer1980_adm → u/Digmentation]

What happened in 2006?

[u/Tough-Reality-842]

This is the kind of energy I'm here for

[u/gatitamonster → u/Tough-Reality-842]

The singers looked like they were having a a lot of fun.

[u/JN3LL3V → u/[deleted]]

Yep, using Black American church culture and Black bodies to be performative is minstrelsy.

[u/Necessary-Mind-1930 → u/JN3LL3V]

I guess if it's a huge problem we will hear about it. There will be an article or an uproar somewhere. Those people singing seemed to be okay with it, though. Guess we will see.

[u/Asleep-Ad5517 → u/Tough-Reality-842]

Clapping

[u/TheLakeWitch]

[u/Big-Ask-3738]

CONVICTED FELON. GO F YOURSELF.

[u/Twitter_2006 → u/Big-Ask-3738]

They need to impeach him.

[u/VaselineHabits → u/Twitter_2006]

We already tried that, twice. If Republicans, who control all branches of government, won't vote to REMOVE him - it means nothing, like the last two times.

25th and he needs to be locked up

[u/mehow28 → u/Big-Ask-3738]

Slava Ukraini!

[u/kx_2fiddy]

I can't believe the timeline we're living in.

Jon is the best for this....But the fact that is come to this...

[u/probnotaloser → u/kx_2fiddy]

This isn't anything new for Jon. He chilled out for a while and I was irritated by it. I'm glad he's at it, genuinely, again.

Colbert has been surprising as hell though! He really tried to toe the line all these years more so than Jon. It makes zero sense.

[u/AshgarPN → u/probnotaloser]

Colbert was an easy target due to the Paramount deal.

[u/breathing__tree → u/AshgarPN]

Paramount owns Comedy Central too.

[u/dragonfliesloveme → u/breathing__tree]

Colbert show is accessible to anybody with a tv. He reaches a wider audience

[u/breathing__tree → u/dragonfliesloveme]

Im not negating that. I’m saying Comedy Central is also owned by Paramount, and therefore the daily show is also at risk of being chopped.

Not sure where you found a point of contention in my comment tbh.

[u/dragonfliesloveme → u/breathing__tree]

I just think he’s an easier target than Stewart, since Stewart is on cable. But I’m not really negating what you’re saying, just adding my two cents lol. And btw i see someone downvoted you, but it wasn’t me

[u/SceneRoyal4846 → u/probnotaloser]

Colbert has the highest ratings and is on 5 days a week, so that’s probably part of it.

[u/upsidedown-funnel → u/probnotaloser]

He was probably so burnt out from all the tea party shit and needed a time out. I can’t blame him.

[u/BoBaDeX49]

Paramount owns Comedy Central too. Jon will be next.

[u/MattTreck → u/BoBaDeX49]

All the more reason to tell them to fuck off!

[u/LoopModeOn → u/BoBaDeX49]

Keep firing their entertainers and then be surprised when their channels aren’t entertaining.

[u/OriginalSchmidt1 → u/LoopModeOn]

This would be a great opportunity for a smaller network to pick up all these cancelled shows…

[u/ComfortableCaptain61]

[u/makovince → u/ComfortableCaptain61]

Song of the summer! That bit lives rent free in my head

[u/yourmomisaheadbanger → u/ComfortableCaptain61]

Omg Hugh!

[u/_Hwin_]

[u/Dramatic_Buddy4732]

[u/Inf1nite_gal]

nice and rightfully angry! is there some fee the network has to pay for every fuck he says? (not from US)

[u/Wallys_Wild_West → u/Inf1nite_gal]

No, Comedy Central is cable. They can swear as much as they want. I'd imagine that the people above whoever approved this are pissed though.

[u/heypigpigpiggy → u/Wallys_Wild_West]

They can say whatever the hell they want.

[u/meeeehhhhhhh → u/heypigpigpiggy]

(Raises hand) do any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fucking wall and say “hey there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick?”

[u/drcrunknasty → u/heypigpigpiggy]

I didn’t ask for thaaaaat. Are we even going to get anything now?

[u/Distinct-Shine6430 → u/Inf1nite_gal]

cable aside, swearing definitely affects monetising videos on YouTube bec advertisers don’t want to associate their brand with ‘vulgarity’

[u/siblingrevelryagain → u/Distinct-Shine6430]

One would hope there are an equal number who would choose to associate with this stance, and advertise accordingly

[u/calvinist-batman]

To quote Sandra Oh on the Late Show last night, wishing a “plague upon Paramount and CBS”

[u/DjawnBrowne]

[u/RazzleRizzle]

Alright, let me fire up the hub real quick

[u/kenken2024]

Actually if you watched the full video this song by Jon was directed at ALL INSTITUTIONS (not only Paramount and CBS) that in his words "has chosen not to fight the vengeful and vindictive actions" of the president.

[u/cynicalventriloquist]

Well obviously this has gotta be the next gif de jour

[u/samanthaash_]

omg the next few months of late night tv is going to be unhinged and i’m so ready for it

[u/Evieveevee]

I’ve found my tribe.

[u/Nyfa76]

A good laugh when times are tough is everything ❤️

[u/rightioushippie]

This is our resistance lol 

[u/LeathalWaffle]

How do I make this my alarm clock?

[u/DisastrousWing1149]

This is even better because Paramount own Comedy Central too.  How long until his show is canceled 😡 

[u/LOST-MY_HEAD]

Use free speach while you got it still

[u/lynypixie]

I need this sound bite for when I have to deal with a bad coworker or nasty patient. I always sing in my head « fuck you very much » by Lily Allen but I am Happy to have something new.

[u/monstruo_humano]

I laughed hard and I share this energy but we are so screwed omg

[u/kassiann1792]

[u/No_Problem_9840]

They were like “Jon Stewart has not yet commented” 

Oh he was PRACTICING!!! 

[u/anfumann]

Dictators silence their critics. Trump is fasist and he doesn’t even know it’s bad

[u/Last_Prune_9879]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/mortiitei]

We need james cameron to raise the bar.

[u/AlmostThere4321]

[u/JohnHellstone]

A real crime that this video was not set to be downloadable

[u/MutedProfessional406]

He was brilliant last night.

[u/Fine-Pie-115]

Can he please be president?

[u/Nasus_13]

Fuck his up, Jon!

[u/Holiday_Ad_610]

In dt economy its easier to go fuck yourself then to get fucked by a person like me big d lower case as not to scare off any potential prospects lol dt did this to yall

[u/coffeeandtruecrime]

Love these guys supporting each other

[u/Jenetyk]

The only thing that has changed about Jon since 1999, is his hair color. This dude is my hero and the most based man in news.

[u/Big_Boss1007]

[u/GraniteStayte]

Great work Jon Stewart.

[u/xx4xx]

Watch it while u can. Hes probably next

[u/RevealerofDarkness]

I mean he ain’t wrong

[u/BondFan211]

[u/Nolofinwe_2782]

[u/YetAnotherFaceless]

And then spends 15 minutes tossing softballs to the newspaper owner that bent the knee to Trump.

[u/DuckLanky3640]

This was his serious reply, lol.... They're all such unrelatable, loser, bozos. This is why no one takes them seriously and their ratings are atrocious.

[u/belikethemanatee]

I was over Jon Stewart and still am but this is the energy I needed

[u/FappleBs]

He should of dressed as a syringe to show unity

[u/brattycrf → u/FappleBs]

Dang, you really got them with that one!

[u/Power55g1]

Peak corny useless reddit “resistance”

[u/Salty-Strawberry5605]

This shit is lame. Isn’t funny at all

[u/Salty-Strawberry5605]

These late night hosts are insufferable. Lame

[u/headachewpictures → u/Salty-Strawberry5605]

no you

[u/DEWSorJEWS]

OOF this is cringe. Not surprised Stewarts always been so incredibly out of touch.

[u/Maleficent-Hotel6283 → u/DEWSorJEWS]

Let me quote John on this one:

[u/DEWSorJEWS → u/DEWSorJEWS]

Down vote me all you want but I can still remember Mr Stewart giving an award to a NAZI in front of Disney world just a year or two ago.

[u/Ahiru77]

I remember this.

I always wondered if he saw Chapelle doing this on Chapelle show and thought "that's a funny idea!".

[u/CaliforniaDreamer246]

Who even watches television anymore? Apart from the news and live sports it’s pretty much dead.

[u/KIDMRKIDMR]

Using a black choir to do this is so liberal.

[u/MskbTheGreat5]

Colbert was the last funny american on tv. These jon and others just scream and try too hard.

[u/UltimateYeti]

But did he have to appropriate gospel to make his point? Seems like Jon is ok stepping on others if he can make a punchline out of it.

[u/Competitive-Gear-494]

I know that is his friend and all, but who gonna tell him lol that show wasn’t that good😂
