'The Daily Show' host gave some reassurance to his live election night viewers, as well as slammed pollsters and pundits: "You don't know ** about **."
Jon Stewart closed his live Election night coverage late Tuesday by giving some reassurance to despondent The Daily Show viewers.
The host emphasized that the presidential election results were still coming in and nothing was yet decided. But given that vote tallies were suggesting a Donald Trump victory at the 12 a.m. hour, Stewart had some thoughts.
“This isn’t the end,” Stewart said during his Comedy Central special, The Daily Show Presents A Live Election Night Special With Jon Stewart: Indecision 2024: Nothing We Can Do About It Now (video below). “I promise you, this is not the end. We have to regroup, and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create a better society for our children, for this world, for this country, that we know is possible. It’s possible.”
“We’re going to come out of this election and we’re going to make all kind of pronouncements about what this country is, and what this world is,” he said. “And the truth is, we’re not really going to know **. We’re going to make it seem like this is the finality of our civilization. We’re all going to have to wake up tomorrow morning and work like hell to move the world to the place that we prefer it to be.”
The host also slammed pollsters and pundits, first tearing into pollsters (as we did earlier) who once again might have misjudged the race, suggesting for weeks that things were much tighter between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump than the early election night results suggest.
“I do want to very quickly send a quick message to all the pollsters, the election pollsters: blow me,” Stewart said. “I don’t ever want to hear from you again. Ever. You don’t know ** about **. I don’t want to hear, ‘We’ll figure it out next year, oh we were within the margin of—’ blow me.”
Then he laid into pundits who made incorrect assumptions coming out of previous presidential elections.
“I just want to point out, just as a matter of perspective, that the lessons that our pundits take away from these results that they will pronounce with certainty will be wrong,” he said, and played clips of pundits making predictions after previous election outcomes, such as the election of Barack Obama meaning that we were headed towards a post-racial America. “Yeah, that lasted a day,” he snarked.
In another clip, a pundit said the lesson of 2012 was that “the GOP needs to send a powerful signal to Hispanic voters that the party respects them,” and that was followed by a clip of Trump mocking Mexico.
During the one-hour telecast, Stewart tried to keep the mood up by showing election results of Democrats winning races, such as Harris winning New York and New Jersey. But early on, one signal things weren’t going so well was when Stewart revealed Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman canceled his planned appearance on the show at the last second.
“Look, I know a lot of people out there are feeling anxious,” Stewart said. “I just want to assure you that that is very good for our ratings, so keep up the good work out there.”
Haha....complaining about a win at the 12 AM hour, huh? “This isn’t over, hrumph!” Sounds like what you guys did in 2020.
Go lay down somewhere and cry and moan and then STFU.
These libs just can’t stop lying!!😆
It ‘s the for him
America needs to unite behind President Trump & VP-Elect J.D. Vance. That will give the new Trump Administration the best chance to succeed for all Americans.
It must be incredibly soul-crushing today to be a Jimmy Kimmel or a Will Ferrell or a Michael Keaton or a Bobby DeNiro or a Barry Obama or a Mooch Obama. Over the past couple weeks, all of these folks self-righteously demanded that the American people reject Donald Trump. It must be utterly ego-deflating to these people to realize that the American people truly don’t give a s—t about what they think.
Their butlers can dry their tears.

We had 8 years of Obama/Biden and 4 years of Biden/Harris. Why didn’t they make it into utopia during those 12 years?
SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!
A place where men dressed as women can mess with children, a place where a full term baby gets tortured and murdered in the womb, a place where the massive hoax known as "climate change" is used as a bludgeon against the West, a place where pedophiles are referred to as "Minor Attracted Persons," a place where White Christians are persecuted, a place where homosexuality is held up as superior to heterosexuality, a place where feral thugs hunt White people with near impunity, a place where merit is replaced with gender and racial quotas, a place where ALL of the Federal government agencies are used to silence and destroy political opponents? That place, Jon?
No thanks, you 'effin leftist scumbag!
>> It’s not the end...
It’s the beginning
Jon Stewart can go to hell. He and his hollywood cohorts and the monolithic media machine tried to install Hugo Chavez in a pantsuit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Twelve years seems to be enough time to accomplish something.
But Adam Schiff won again. And Jamie Raskin is still in the House. Watch articles of impeachment against Trump start flowing again. But Repubs look like they control both houses of Congress, so Trump is face for at least 2 years.
Not the end huh? Is that a threat jon? Put him in jail. 30 days is enough. In a walk in freezer.
It’s what losers say, when they got nothing else to say.
Nobody cares about Jon Stewart or his political views. We give these people too much power by giving them too much coverage. Sensible people should not ask “comedians” who to vote for.
What do "Hispanic voters" have to do with a foreign country like Mexico? (Besides: President Trump didn't mock "Mexico" - he belittled the Mexican govt.)
I am of Rumanian extraction - wouldn't care a bit if some politician criticized Rumania. I'm American.
Is Stewart implying that Americans of Hispanic extraction are somehow less American than Americans of, e.g., Polish or Belgian extraction?
That's ray-cist!
