- Jon Stewart is back on TV
- A big fight between Trump and the Pope
- The one thing they both have in common
We just saw Jon Stewart get back behind his famous desk. He didn’t waste any time. He jumped right into the drama between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV. It was sharp. It was funny. And it was a little bit uncomfortable.
Apparently, the POTUS is pretty mad at the Pope. The Pope sent a message of peace about the war on Iran. Trump didn’t like that one bit. But Stewart thinks they should actually be best friends. He made a joke that really landed a punch.
Stewart said they should get along because they both “care deeply about covering up sex scandals.” Ouch. The audience went wild for it. It was that classic Jon Stewart bite we have been missing lately.
The vibe of the segment felt very high-contrast. The bright studio lights made the colors of the set pop against Jon’s dark suit. It had a very modern, clean aesthetic. It made the heavy topics feel a bit lighter but still very important.
Speaking of big reveals, Samay Raina just shared a photo with his girlfriend after some rumors started flying. It seems like everyone is opening up lately. Even Rosie O’Donnell is reacting to dance show rumors right now.
Stewart also mentioned the election in Hungary. He covers a lot of ground very fast. If you need a break from the politics, you should look at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2026 list. Phil Collins and Wu-Tang Clan are on there!
Our Take
We think Jon Stewart is exactly what the news needs right now. He isn’t afraid to say the quiet part out loud. His joke was mean, sure, but it pointed out a shared history that most people forget. It’s comedy with a message, and we are here for it.
