With no more interruptions, here is the exclusive clip. Let's talk about someone who's always been the GOAT of the, I don't even want to talk about late night talk show because it wasn't that, but like the GOAT political commentary comedian. Legit, like I think changed like political comedy. He changed comedy.

Changed comedy in general. Kind of for the worse, even though he's so great. Yeah, because people weren't as good as him. Yeah. So the only way they could get that reaction is if they started pandering. Yeah. him yeah so the only way they could get that reaction is if they started pandering yeah but he was so good that he could say how he felt in a way where at times both sides would really enjoy also the way he felt was just better the way he felt was better yeah more moderate guy this is a

pretty not liberal take for this this is a conspiracy theorist hey yes three months ago he's a conspiracy theorist yeah he is queuing on three months ago if he says this. He is Donald Trump three months ago if he says this. John Stewart is on Stephen Colbert. Cuckbear. Yeah, Stephen Cuckbear's late night show. And Stephen Colbert, who was on his way to goat status when he was in his heyday with the Colbert show and completely sold out to be a corporate shill. One note guy. Now he just has trump as bad and

now without trump being there i don't even know what he talks about i know he hasn't somehow he's still apparently number one yeah but like number one of the shows that nobody watches you know what i mean yeah it's quite easy to be um so here's the thing this guy goes on he's on the show he knows colbert's opinions yeah he knows the channel's opinions right and he goes out there and he drops this play i think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science science has in many ways helped ease uh the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science. Oh, there's like, huh? What do I do?

Hold on. And that's kind of... Oh, okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Now, listen, listen. It's coffee. I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't do that to you. So what do you mean by that? Do you mean like there's a chance that this was created in a lab as an investigation?

A chance? Oh, you fucking pussy. Oh, my God. There's evidence I'd love to hear. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do?

Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan Novel Respiratory Coronavirus Lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That's just a little too weird, don't you think? And then they ask those scientists, they're like, how did this? So wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab. How did this happen? And they're like,

a pangolin kissed a turtle? And you're like, no. The name of your lab... I mean, look at the name. Look at the name. Can I... Let me see your business card. Show me your business card. Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan.

Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan. How did that happen? Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it sneezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus. Okay, okay. What about this? What about this?

Listen to this. Wait a second. All right. Oh, my God. Shut up, Hodor. Oh, my God. There's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.

What do you think happened? Like, oh, I don't know. Maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean. Or it's the f***ing chocolate factory. Maybe that's it. Go. Fucking hero, dog. Fucking hero.

And he's not just the goat for having this opinion, which is absolutely great, and saying it in a way which is so digestible. Yeah. He's the goat for doing it on that platform. Yeah. He knew exactly what the f*** he was doing. He knew exactly the type of opinions that are spewed on colbert's show yeah and he went on there and he specifically did it and it goes fucking viral and it's exactly how we all feel and it's just fucking great yeah the other thing that i wonder is that i bet him and colbert have a prior relationship they do yeah like they put col on. They're boys for mad long. Yeah. He gave Colbert his life.

Gave Colbert his career. He also knows Colbert as like probably just as a comic. Like, yo, if the cameras aren't on, like we'd be busting balls about this. Like you and me have been joking. Colbert is not a comic.

He's an improv guy. But I bet you if he's behind closed doors, like they're making mad jokes. They're willing to like joke about this kind of shit. Yes. And then he goes on his show

to his face and Colbert's like, are you really doing this? Yes. Are you doing the thing that we would do off camera on my show right now? Yes. And I think that is where he catches him. That's what's so great about it.

It's like, I don't think Colbert is like a complete cuck. I think that he's a comic and like, it likes to make jokes, but when the camera's on, he buttons up. Cause he wants to still be accepted by like the corporate machine. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I bet Jimmy Kimmel's an amazing hang. Oh yeah. Exactly. Oh, we know pasta dinners and shit like that. He's going to be busting balls, telling great stories, yeah, yeah. Like, I bet Jimmy Kimmel's an amazing hang. Oh, yeah, exactly. Oh, we know Kimmel. You go to one of his pasta dinners and shit like that.

He's going to be busting balls, telling great stories, doing fucking practical jokes on people. He's the guy show. He's hilarious. But you get paid a certain amount of money, and you bend over. Yeah. Right? And who's to say?

Like, it's easy for us to say right here with no offers of $100 million, then we're not going to bend over. Yeah. But then when that $100 million is in front of you, you're like, oh, my God. The floor looks pretty good when you're closer to it. It's pretty awesome. Look how amazing this fucking floor is.

Let me grab my ankles. Wow. My hands fit perfectly around my ankles. Look how amazing this is. What a coincidence, right? But the fact that I agree with you right there, he started having that person-to-person conversation with him. But what's interesting about John is John knows the game.

John been in the game for a while. He knows some motherfuckers that are fake on air and real off air yeah and he had a real off-air conversation with a motherfucker that is currently fake on air and i love that he did it he threw his boy under the bus he really threw his boy under the bus i don't think he threw him under the bus i think he gives him the warning that he's gonna do this and he knows that steven has to act like hey don't do this you can't do this. And he knows that Steven has to act like, hey, don't do this. You can't do this. Like, this is not okay for the network.

So it's like now, Steve, he's good. He can't get in trouble because he's acting surprised as if he didn't know he was going to. But I don't think you would do this to your boy. The only pushback I would give you is it looks like Colbert is trying to cut him off at points. And he raised his voice, talks over him, and goes, listen, listen, listen, listen.

So maybe that's just colbert not knowing that that john's in the middle of a bit and you just gotta fucking go along for the ride but it does look like he's trying to at least interrupt maybe not stop it but interrupt so i don't know if they had prior conversation but maybe john said something like yo i'm gonna go for it just yeah that's all right i think okay yeah exactly and the other amazing part is that the audience is all colbert's audience like both on youtube but also live in the studio yeah and then he's getting applause breaks from colbert's audience who i imagine to be like you know pretty bundled up in pc yes but those people also love john yeah like if you're part of the woke like

if you're part of the woke brigade brigade you probably john is like grandfathered in it's like godfather yeah it's like it's almost like you know how like Don Rickles can say whatever he wants and it's okay, right? It's like maybe John wasn't as woke as the woke people are now, but you look at him and go, yo, man, he started it. He started having these conversations, right? Even though he did not start wokeness, but he was maybe the first person that they saw on a nightly show that was saying some of the opinions that they now share that have kind of evolved into something crazy. I'm just saying, I think that these people

still got love for John. And he's kind of unimpeachable. He was calling out Fox News before motherfuckers were even doing it, right? Going on a riot and embodying them and all that shit.

And he is kind of unimpeachable in that we don't see a lot of fraudulence with him. I remember when he walked away from the Daily Show saying he was like, I would love to finally spend some time with my family. That would be nice. away from the daily show saying he was like yeah i would love to finally spend some time with my family that would be nice that's the most

bullshit thing for most people they go take a break for a year and then come back john stewart has been gone for what seven years now he's coming back eight years he's coming back now eight years a long hiatus to take yeah yeah yeah but he's still got it though he's still got it dude he's like i mean think about it it's just the beauty of comedy is sometimes you just need to be like you just need to to be right about how you feel all right guys we're gonna take a break from this exclusive patreon clip because i gotta make sure your peckers are working to their fullest potential i care about your pecker and you should too make sure it's hard.

Enjoy your fucking life and let the women that are in it enjoy theirs too now let's get back to this exclusive patreon like who knows if this shit i mean obviously it came from the lab right but let's say it didn't come from the lab the way

he presented it is you're an idiot if you don't believe this yes like i love that like he didn't go like i'm gonna be nuanced and logical and precise here he just goes you're stupid if you don't believe it look at the head one fact yeah he had one and we i do i know i was i think we're all saying from dumb early yeah there's gotta be man-made there's gotta be lab cooked yeah we had no facts whatsoever he had one fact i don't even know if it's true we had the fact but we just didn't touch on it i mean it was right in front of our face the best jokes are right there yeah the joke is right there there's a wuhan lab about there's wuhan coronavirus lab in wuhan right so There's a Wuhan lab about, there's a Wuhan coronavirus lab in Wuhan. Right.

Sorry. There's a coronavirus lab in Wuhan. I'm so under the form that I didn't know it was called that. Right. I thought it was a lab in Wuhan. But there's a lab in Wuhan. Yeah, I thought it was working on other things.

Yeah. But the fact that it's just working on coronaviruses, if that's the case, if it's just working on coronaviruses, I mean, it's unbelievable that you could not think this. Yeah. This would get you kicked off Facebook

back in the day. Yeah. This would get you kicked off Twitter. This would be labeled a conspiracy theorist. And he came out. He was just like, there's a coronavirus lab in this one fucking town where the coronavirus is spreading crazy. We're not going to knock on the door and at least ask them if this is where it came from. Bat is the best we got.

And we're so fucking racist against Chinese people. We're sitting around like now they probably yeah Probably be the back They got a wet mark. That's more likely than some shit would get out of the lab It's named after this the coronavirus lab and coronavirus could get out. Yeah, but we're like they eat anything Yeah, and viruses could come from bats. Where did it come from fucking bats? I've never heard of one. You know what I'm saying? It's just fucking unbelievable.

I'm telling you, it's like the Chappelle thing where we just believe AIDS came from a monkey. And then he was the one guy that is a comic was like, Lord, a monkey? And everybody's like, yeah, that's a good ass point. AIDS from a monkey? Somebody's fucking monkeys and then humans? What?

We just buy it. We just like, yeah, no, sure. That's what people are telling us. I wonder though though does this bit work because it's john stewart this is i was gonna make a point that's go ahead like like if if the bit is objectively so good but because of the like topic and like the time and the everything else he's able to get away with it and i've even seen people on the internet they're like oh like this is misinformation like i can't believe the daily show would let this happen or colbert would let this happen but i still love john stewart he gets away with it within a certain um population that maybe gives pushback to any ideas that aren't consistent with their own because he's john

stewart but the general consensus about this bit is people are going to find it hilarious. Right and left. The extremes, the extreme right might fucking love it, but the extreme left might give some pushback. This is misinformation. Why would he do this? This is dangerous. But most right and left people are like, yo, it's probably a fucking leak. The virus is probably man-made. Go. And I was going to say one thing

to call out some conservatives. I saw a lot of conservatives whining like, we've been saying this forever and now Jon Stewart says it and you celebrate you or you should be so fucking grateful that a guy with the credibility from the left is saying it now your shit means something because instead of just being a one time like a one uh one opinion guy somebody who's nuanced and typically on the left wing side of things said nah man this shit is man-made now all the people who are moderate or a moderately left-leaning are like yo this shit might be man-made yeah he's getting your message out there no other messenger could do it you need a guy like him to do it it's so interesting it's

like if you just have balls and say how you feel generally it works out yeah if you feel it the problem is just saying things to be absurd and ridiculous and when that backfires you go oh just being absurd absurd and ridiculous and then people go well you being absurd and ridiculous hurt people right right and then you go but if you actually believe something and someone gives you pushback you're like no i still believe it yeah you know it's it's almost like if you're religious in how you feel right there's really nothing that people can do to take it away from you this is how you feel yeah he feels he feels strongly that the coronavirus came from a lab in wuhan that specifies in specify uh specializes specializes in coronavirus yeah that's pretty easy to believe yeah and when you lay it out there like

that what pushback you gonna give well the tie to religion he's also not fanatical on one side of the other no be fanatical about how you feel fuck wherever your feelings lie it doesn't matter but be fanatical about how you feel i do think it's if you're consistently fanatical on one side and just people are like yeah it's just he just always is about that no it's more profitable and that's why they do it you think that's not authentic exactly because you're not fanatical about how you feel i got you you not fanatical about how you feel. I got you. You're fanatical about what the side is.

And there are these people that have their shows, their late night shows. And I think the reason why Trevor's version of that show doesn't work as well as John's is because he's just going, here are my points of view. And they are consistent with whatever the left believes. And I'm going to feed them that. And that does work. And it works for Fox News. Fox News is like, this is what the right believes. I'm going to feed them that. And that does work. And it works for Fox News. Fox News is like, this is what the right believes. I'm going to feed them that.

Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson. Same exact shit. Right. When you're willing to just talk about your gut, you're going to get way more criticism. Because every single time you speak, half the people you're going to piss off. But eventually, people believe you. And when they believe you, they you they go oh he's not playing

a side he's not trying to make me look stupid or make me feel like an idiot this is how he actually feels and deep down if i'm being honest with myself it's kind of how i feel it's very rare that people are woke in groups of three talking yeah people people get woke in groups of 300 people get woke when there's an audience people get get woke when there's a fight during the lunch period. That's funny. You know what I'm saying? I wonder what the function of that is. As group size increases.

As group size increases, wokeness goes up or extremism goes up in whatever your political beliefs are. But in groups of three people, five people, even the most woke motherfucker in the world, nobody's going, I feel uncomfortable with you saying that. They're just laughing at jokes. Now, what if, if like because this got so much praise all over the internet yeah what if you were like a right-wing comedian like what if you were like even like not even necessarily a comedian but like talker carlson or like stephen crowder if they like they're more conservative if they do this exact same riff like word for word on their show and it gets shared around do does like liberal twitter or like any lefties anywhere, do they like it or do they just say,

I don't think so. And I think, Oh, it's just conspiratorial. To his point about, to my point about him, like just calling out both sides and having equity built in it, to his point about,

he believes what he says. Tucker Carlson is just trying to make money. A lot of these right wing people just, you're just trying to make money. You're always on one side of it. Oh, here you are being on this side of it again. Jon Stewart has been

fanatical in what he believes. I will call out the right. I will call out the left sometimes too if I don't agree with them. I tend to agree with them more, but I'll call them out when I don't. I'll call out Obama here and there. So for that guy to call out something that's kind of left-wing when he's left-leaning, you're like,

oh shit, this means something
