I suspect the ratings went way up, at least for this first episode.

Jon Stewart returned to host The Daily Show on Monday, and within three minutes was already going after Donald Trump — but also Joe Biden, taking a critical look at the president’s apparent age-related issues.

Announcing “Indecision 2024: Electile Dysfunction,” Stewart dove right into special counsel Robert Hur’s report that exonerated President Biden on the matter of mishandling classified documents while also seemingly torpedoing his re-election efforts with its harsh description of Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory. Stewart showed clips of Trump and the former president’s family being deposed and likewise not being able to recall some basic facts. “It turns out that the leading cause of early onset dementia is being deposed,” Stewart said (monologue video below).

That one was very popular, 4m+ views after 24 hours. This one is better though:

Everyone. All the jokes flopped.

I disagree with that statement and welcome his abridged return! It was fun to see the show in person as well!

He will fall in line as the election comes closer. Not sure why they think dragging him out of the closet is going to get todays youngsters to watch, they'd be better off with someone younger.

[–] Rorikon (16414) 3 months ago

Nothing to do with age but more about wisdom and sanity. He's still got it imo.

[–] Lord Rake (3819) 3 months ago

He is too old to be relatable to the youngsters now unless he pushes straight out socialism.

Trump: I don't recall when it was I said I have the best memory.
You gotta admit Trump is amazing for his ability to not burst out laughing when he says something like that.

[–] maximmm (3055) 3 months ago

some of the stuff he said worked really well
but when he stared equating Trump to Biden - that's when my BS meter started flashing
Trump will most likely get to the same level of senility as Biden, but not just yet. Right now.... the difference between the 2 is quite stark. The fact that JS is equating them tells me that there's an agenda in play.
