Jon Stewart Slams Megyn Kelly, Tom Brady Ahead of Last Day On Daily Show


John Stewart may be leaving The Daily Show soon but that doesn’t mean that he’s pulling any punches when it comes to calling out lies and hypocrisy.

His most recent target was Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and her condemnation of Hillary Clinton’s quest for $2.5 billion to fund her presidential campaign. As The Washington Post reports, Clinton has caught fire for allegedly doing favors for foreign donors to The Clinton Foundation while she was the Secretary of State.

“The question is to whom does she owe favors because of The Clinton Foundation?” Kelly said in one of the clips.

Stewart didn’t go easy on Clinton, skewering the presidential hopeful in his own comedic way.

“There’s nothing that looks worse than this. It looks bad, like an ugly mole.” he said. Even if it’s not cancer, it is still unsightly… which reminds me I should make an appointment with Dr. Stein. I have a mole on the… let me talk about this later…”

Stewart, however, pointed out that Kelly and her colleagues at Fox News have failed to take the Republican party to task for courting billion-dollar donations from American corporate giants like The Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson.

“We’re barely paying attention to what happens here at home” Stewart said. Taking aim at Sheldon Adelson and his reported ability to prop up or kill candidacies through sheer force of his billions, Jon quipped. “What is this guy, Khaleesi?”

In one clip, Kelly attacks the Democrats for trying to curtail campaign spending from American donors, claiming that the Dems are “limiting the First Amendment.”

“They think money corrupts in politics, and they’re looking to stop that quote ‘corruption,'” Kelly said.

To which Jon Stewart masterfully concluded: “I guess the rule here is that money is free speech unless that money speaks with a funny accent.”

Fox News wasn’t the only institution eviscerated by Stewart’s comic timing. Tom Brady was also targeted for some Daily Show ribbing, mostly for the Deflategate fiasco.

As SB Nation reported, Stewart pretty much summarized how every football fan felt about the revelation that Tom Brady knew about his team’s cheating tactics.

“Tommy, you cheating [expletive],” Stewart said. “You got four Super Bowl rings, you got the biggest supermodel in the world. You got your beautiful face.. But you, my friend, stood up in one of America’s most sacred places, the podium room before Super Bowl week, and you lied to us.”

The Daily Show certainly won’t be the same without Jon Stewart who announced his retirement earlier this year. Stewart has been “America’s Most Trusted News Anchor” for over 15 years, dispensing razor sharp comedic commentary on current events, politics and the mainstream media who report the stories.

Comedy Central recently announced that his last day will be on August 6. We’ll definitely miss you, Jon Stewart!
