Jon Stewart was back on The Daily Show and compared Donald Trump to Mr. Magoo as the hush money trial continues.
Michael Cohen wrapped up his testimony and admitted he had stolen from the Trump Organization, which prompted Stewart to compare the former POTUS to the animated character.
“How lucky is Donald Trump?” Stewart said. “Donald Trump is like a corruption Mr. Magoo. He’s just stumbling around, quid pro quo-ing, metal beams falling all around him [and] gets out completely unscathed.”
Mr. Magoo is a fictional character who appeared in the UPA animated series Mister Magoo, voiced by Jim Backus. The character is an elderly, wealthy retiree who gets into comical situations and, through sheer luck, always finds himself unharmed.
Trump is on trial and faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records to conceal other crimes. All of this was to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her amid the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Stewart also took on Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech, which went all the way to the White House, as a member of the press inquired if the Kansas City Chiefs kicker would still be welcomed. This is all prefaced to comment on the idea of cancel culture fueled by conservatives and conservative media.
The Comedy Central host also took offense to people calling out Jerry Seinfeld amid his promo tour for Unfrosted, the Netflix film about Pop-Tarts.
“Jerry Seinfeld took more shit over the past two weeks promoting a Pop-Tart movie than Harrison Butker for his entire speech,” Stewart said. “And I ask you people, What is the deal with that? I legitimately would like to know why he’s taking so much shit about everything from everybody. And who are these people?”

Vice President Kamala Harris had some biting words about Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, making it a point to comment on his recent New York felony conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Most of the arguments defending Donald Trump‘s crimes are ridiculous. This one’s just a little less subtle about it!
Tonight marked the first time Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show since Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts, and the host went after the media, Trump and President Joe Biden.
Joe Biden amped up his attacks on Donald Trump following his rival’s conviction on 34 felony charges last week, calling the former president “unhinged” and engaged in an “all-out assault” on the justice system.
EXCLUSIVE: The movie Donald Trump doesn’t want people to see is going global.
Happy post-conviction day? Yesterday, Donald Trump became the first former American President to be convicted of felony crimes as a jury found him guilty on all 34 charges in his scheme to influence the 2016 election with his hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels who said the two engaged in sex while he was married to his current wife (oh, and he has three more criminal cases to deal with too). Trump has also been in the news for the film, “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan, which premiered at the recent Cannes Film Festival to solid reviews.
We’ve heard a couple accusations now of folks having heard Donald Trump using the N-word. Enough that we gather it’s just part of his vernacular — if he assumes no one is around who will bust him.

The Apprentice” director Ali Abbasi has responded to the Trump campaign’s threat to sue over the movie, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival on Monday night. “Everybody talks about him suing a lot of people — they don’t talk about his success rate though, you know?” Abbasi said.
The Apprentice filmmaker Ali Abbasi was asked today at the pic’s Cannes press conference about Donald Trump‘s legal threats against the movie following its world premiere here at the fest.
Donald Trump‘s team is looking to seek legal action against an upcoming movie.
Five years ago, Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi broke out internationally with the Oscar-nominated “Border,” a thorny little beast of a fable about love, complicity, and guilt. His latest prods at some of the same themes, although the thorny little beast at the center of “The Apprentice” is far from a fictional creature of fables.
