Jon Stewart went on the offensive against former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night, slamming Carlson for his recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The attack seemed to be Stewart’s attempt to regain his left-wing credibility after facing criticism for daring to criticize President Joe Biden in a previous show.

During his monologue, Stewart mocked Carlson’s facial expressions during the interview with Putin, describing it as a mix of shame, arousal, and discomfort akin to being constipated while flipping through a Sears catalogue.

Carlson’s observations about cleanliness and amenities in Moscow, particularly his remarks on American homelessness, drew further ire from Stewart, who didn’t hold back in calling Carlson out as “such a dick.”

Stewart continued his onslaught, deriding Carlson’s commentary on price differences in groceries, emphasizing the economic realities faced by Russians earning significantly less than their American counterparts.

The comedian concluded with a final jab at Carlson’s intelligence, suggesting that Carlson knows better than his on-screen persona suggests.

Stewart’s critique of Carlson comes after he faced backlash for his previous remarks criticizing Biden’s memory lapses, which some viewers perceived as a departure from his expected left-leaning stance.

Responding to Stewart’s recent jabs, some viewers expressed disappointment, labeling his humor as lazy and missing the mark, while others accused him of betraying his core audience’s expectations.

Despite the mixed reactions, Stewart remains a prominent figure in political satire, navigating the complexities of contemporary discourse with his trademark wit and sharp commentary.
