As a seasoned movie critic who has seen more controversial comedy than a room full of jaded stand-ups, I must say that Jon Stewart’s defense of Tony Hinchcliffe in Monday’s “The Daily Show” was a breath of fresh air. In an era where political correctness often overshadows comedic freedom, it’s refreshing to see someone like Stewart standing up for the art of comedy and its practitioners.
On the day following Tony Hinchcliffe’s contentious humor at Donald Trump’s event in Madison Square Garden, Jon Stewart took to “The Daily Show” on Monday evening to express support for the comedian.
Following his praise of speakers such as Tucker Carlson and Rudy Giuliani at the rally, Stewart remarked, “However, for the media, there was a specific instance that triggered concerns,” before showing a compilation of news anchors criticizing Hinchcliffe’s humor, which contained comments labeling Puerto Rico as a “floating heap of trash.
Later on, Stewart justified Hinchcliffe by stating, “Clearly, looking back, inviting a comedian for a roast at a political rally, right before election day and poking fun at a crucial demographic group… was perhaps not the smartest move politically speaking. However, it’s important to note that he’s just being true to his profession.
Later on, Stewart referenced some humor from Hinchcliffe’s “Roast of Tom Brady” routine that was performed this year, finding the segment amusing and commenting, “Indeed, indeed, of course, terrible, boo. There seems to be something off about me. I must admit, I find that man quite humorous. I apologize, I’m at a loss for words. It’s as if you invited Beyoncé to a rally and didn’t have her sing…,” subtly hinting at an earlier joke he made concerning Kamala Harris’ rally, which was highlighted by a speech from Beyoncé instead of a performance.
Hinchcliffe’s rally humor sparked disapproval among numerous political analysts and TV news personalities, along with criticism from artists such as Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez, in addition to figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
