Jon Stewart Attributes Trump’s Silence to Lower Cable Relevance

Jon Stewart has shared why President Donald Trump has not targeted him for cancellation like other late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, suggesting it is due to The Daily Show's lesser relevance or visibility compared to network television shows. Despite Trump's harsh criticisms of Stewart before his presidency, including a 2:30 a.m. tweet calling him a "p***y," Stewart believes he is not on Trump's radar because his show airs on cable. Trump has celebrated the cancellation of Colbert's show and the temporary suspension of Kimmel's, with these actions viewed as part of a broader conflict involving the Trump administration and late-night comedy. Stewart hopes his network, Comedy Central, would support him if Trump ever decided to target him more aggressively. He also recalled their past exchanges with humor, including his own nickname for Trump, "F***face Von Clownstick." Meanwhile, Kimmel and Colbert have recently joined forces to mock Trump, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the president and late-night comedians.
