Jon Stewart pulled no punches on Tuesday as he appeared on one of the final episodes of \u201cThe Late Show\u201d and took aim at CBS over its decision to pull the plug on the Stephen Colbert-hosted program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Stewart, the host of \u201cThe Daily Show,\u201d sarcastically swiped at CBS\u2019s nixing of \u201cColbert\u201d (officially due to financial reasons) and its broader, politically rightward shift<\/a> following parent company Paramount Global\u2019s Trump administration-approved merger with Skydance:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI just think it\u2019s so smart what CBS is doing. I just think it\u2019s such a good move. To take this show off the air and then to also ruin your evening news and then reduce \u201960 Minutes\u2019 to like six good ones. I think it\u2019s so smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then he zinged: \u201cHere\u2019s what I believe they\u2019re doing. I think they\u2019re tanking for a draft pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Elsewhere in the interview, Stewart used an unexpected phone call from his mother to land another jab at CBS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat was my mother. 92 years old. So in five more years she\u2019ll be CBS\u2019s target demographic,\u201d he quipped. \u201cIn CBS\u2019s defense, network television is built so that old people can solve fictional murders using forensics. That\u2019s the whole purpose of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He also slammed America under Trump and predicted what comes next:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI mean this from the bottom of my heart, not just for this show, but for the country. The day, the day, oh people, close your eyes and dream. The day that the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration. The day that that happens, my brother. My brother. There will be, and I mean this, the day that that happens, there will be a joyful noise from the bowels of this great country that will make Hungary\u2019s repudiation of Orban look like an Amish Sabbath. And it\u2019s going to come. We are tired. We are tired.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
