Late-Night TV
"There are probably more hardworking American-value individuals in the liberal hellhole of New York City than exist in the entire states of Wyoming, Idaho, and Mississippi combined"
Jon Stewart spent much of Monday night’s episode of The Daily Show lauding the Knicks’ victory, describing the NBA championships win as resulting in an “overwhelming sense of joy and solidarity and diversity and community and a good amount of crying and a lot of contact high.”
Stewart recounted New York’s enthusiastic reaction to the Knicks winning, including the appearance of multiple Spider-Man costumes, a dancing MTA bus driver, and a drum line. The right wing media, of course, described the festivities as “chaos” and “mayhem,” but Stewart noted that reaction was a “record low” for a Saturday night.
“I guess it’s all about what side of the aisle you sit on: Where you see a mob destroying a school bus, I see people of all faiths and creeds and colors and sexualities coming together to destroy a school bus,” Stewart said. “It ain’t a melting pot until you light that bitch on fire!”
