“What a f***ing week.”
That was Jon Stewart’s exhausted conclusion on this week’s edition of The Weekly Show, his podcast that acts as an in-depth companion to his Daily Show gig. “I can’t even get into the Late Show, Daily Show of it all,” he sighed. He instead pointed listeners to check out Monday’s episodes of both Stephen Colbert’s show and his own — “I think you’ll get a sense of how we’re feeling and just how tenuous this moment is.”
That didn’t mean Stewart was ignoring the moment. “Oddly enough,” he began, “our episode today is about levers of power and coercion from the government and how they use their power to manipulate and to get what they want and to force people into authoritarian tendencies.”

Wreaking havoc with any “Best Characters on South Park” lists that don’t include Trump’s talking micro-dick, the recent season premiere of South Park famously shit all over the sitting president. And not the fun kind of shit that brings presents and sings Christmas carols.
Wednesday’s episode “Sermon on the ‘Mount” immediately sparked a backlash amongst right-leaning ex-fans, and even prompted a comment from Trump himself some assistant press secretary named Taylor Rogers. She claimed that South Park “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years” and is “hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.”
