Jon Stewart felt a pang of regret in the middle of his show on Monday night, after a segment making fun of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“You know, okay. I was being dismissive and I apologize for that,” the host of “The Daily Show” said, after rolling footage of several CNN anchors insisting that the evening was about raising scholarship money.
“It’s an incestuous clusterfuck for a good cause, how much goes to that cause?” he asked.
He was slightly less apologetic when he learned that around $90,000 would be given out in scholarship awards.
“P-per person?” Stewart asked nervously. “For god sake’s, Donald Trump’s probably got more hidden than that in his hair!”
Stewart was even more aghast when a clip showed CNN went to commercial break just as the scholarship winners took the stage.
“Motherfuckers, that was it!” he said, launching out of his seat. “That was the thing it was about!”
