The Daily Show on Tuesday night addressed the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump, who was charged with 34 felonies in connection with his hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence about their alleged affair.
Guest host Roy Wood Jr. fired up the crowd by covering “the craziest day in New York since the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man came to town and busted a nut on the whole city.”
“Today was one for the history books,” Wood Jr. said at the top of Tuesday night’s show, calling Donald Trump’s arraignment “the craziest day in New York since the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man came to town and busted a nut on the whole city.”
After airing some hilarious news segments surrounding Trump’s arraignment, Wood said that he needed someone who could “use the force” to help him.
That’s when former host Jon Stewart entered the studio dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
“The Daily Show had a white host?” Wood joked. Stewart went on to deliver advice on how to cover Donald Trump in an era of so many lawsuits and legal troubles. For each suggestion Stewart had, Wood stepped in with a Star Wars reference.
“The thing about this historic indictment is that American jurisprudence—” but Wood stepped in to say they were out of time.
