Jon Stewart Cuts His Hand During The Daily Show Monologue
In last night's episode of The Daily Show, Stewart delivered a monologue discussing the latest moves by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
While talking about the prescription drug prices, he smashed his mug into pieces, which resulted in injuries to his right hand.
When he noticed that it was bleeding, he moved his hand under the desk and quipped, "I might be going to the hospital soon." He went on to continue his monologue.
A few minutes later, Stewart moved his hand above the desk, and the audience gasped when they saw the blood. "I’m fine!" the host assured them.
It is unknown yet whether Stewart indeed went to the hospital after the taping of the episode, but he referenced his injury in an X post:
"We’re back! New Daily Show tonight! It’s a bloody good episode…emphasis on bloody…I’m an idiot…" he wrote.
This is not the first time that Stewart suffered an on-air injury. In 2011, he accidentally cut his wrist while taping an Anthony Weiner sketch in an episode of The Daily Show.
