Well, we’re down to the wire. Red One will be released in theaters nationwide in less than three weeks, which means there’s only one week until the election. Being an original Gryla fan, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart is feeling the heat. After yesterday’s very chill racism appreciation rally at Madison Square Garden, Stewart returned to The Daily Show to dissect why Trump’s rhetoric is so disturbing. Despite the near-constant coverage of Tony Hinchcliffe’s disastrous open mic night set during which he called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage” and mused about how he and his Black friend “carved watermelons,” Stewart more or less avoided the big shiny object. The comedy community always protects its own—well, except Marc Maron who released a very thoughtful and necessary statement on “The New Fascism” earlier today.
