Jon Stewart talks about Epstein files
Jon Stewart, like many other talk show hosts, addressed the topic of the Epstein Files during his monologue on The Daily Show. “Yup, it’s Groundhog Day,” he said about the newly released files, “We call it Groundhog Day because this is the day when Donald Trump sees Epstein’s shadow, and we get six more weeks of not knowing who any of the co-conspirators are in this multinational sex trafficking case. And, also, because Punxsutawney Phil is all over the files…The point I’m trying to make is the Epstein files thing? We’ve been through this before.”
He added, “The chances of this breaking MAGA are actually worse than Trump just lowering the age of consent to be done with the whole f*cking thing,” before explaining why his name also appeared.
“This is actually true,” he said about his own name in the files, “I take you to the scene. It is midnight, Aug. 29, 2015. Jeffrey Epstein lies wide awake, his mind turning with ideas. He jots a quick note to a producer named Barry Josephson, saying, ‘I suggested to Woody [Allen]’ y’all know which Woody, right? It’s the Epstein files, it ain’t Harrelson, or the cowboy from Toy Story. You know which one, quote: ‘I suggested to Woody that he do an exclusive new stand-up routine for either Apple TV or Amazon.’”
He continued to explain, “Oh, Jeffrey Epstein always had his finger on the pulse of what America was clamoring for in 2015. But Barry Josephson, thinking like the out-of-the-box television professional that he was, pitched this idea. This is true, quote: ‘Make a true biographical experience with his stand-up being the capper. Somebody like Jon Stewart could host or narrate the biographical part.”
Stewart added, “Excuse me? I am offended. Somebody like Jon Stewart, or Jon Stewart? My point is, do I have the offer, or is this an audition?”
He concluded by reminding viewers that many more files remain.
