Stewart, who usually only hosts on Mondays, opened the show in front of a gold-emblazoned, Trump-style backdrop to deliver what he described as the latest episode of a “fun, hilarious, administration-compliant show.”
Adopting a mock–state TV persona, Stewart offered nervous praise of President Donald Trump and his recent state visit to the United Kingdom.
“If you felt off these last couple of days, it’s probably because our great father has not been home,” Stewart sarcastically began. “For father has been gracing England with his legendary warmth and radiance.”
Trump, Stewart continued, “wowed the English with charm and intelligence, and an undeniable sexual charisma.”
Stewart also admired the “perfectly tinted” president who “dazzled his hosts, the British royal family.”
The host faux scolded himself at times when he realized he hadn’t toadied up enough to Trump, before all the show’s correspondents appeared on screen at the end ― holding microphones emblazoned with an image of Trump’s face ― to pay tribute to the “glorious” leader, and conclude with a musical number.
