‘The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart Says Paramount’s Trump Settlement Is “Shameful” As Ex‘60 Minutes’ Correspondent Steve Kroft Calls It A “Shakedown”
"Jon Stewart didn’t disappoint with his views on the multi-million-dollar settlement between Paramount Global, which owns The Daily Show network Comedy Central, and President Donald Trump.
Five days after the company paid Trump $16M to settle the lawsuit that the President brought against it for its handling of a 60 Minutes interview with Presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Stewart called it “shameful” before throwing to a slide throwing Arbys under the bus as well. “For when you want a sandwich commensurate with your company’s shame,” it read.
After a few other lines during the first half of the show, which largely covered Trump’s recent “legislative coup,” Stewart doubled down and brought on former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft as his guest to discuss the topic."
