You get two Jo(h)n’s for the price of one in the latest episode of The Daily Show, with host Jon Stewart being joined by Last Week Tonight host John Oliver for a cameo at the end of the monologue.
The topic in hand? The way Donald Trump’s America is quickly regressing, going so far back in time that Oliver encourages Stewart to embrace his country’s “monarchy era”.
“I’m here to gloat,” Oliver says. “America had its little fun, experimenting with democracy. You fought so hard to get away from us. Acting up, throwing all that tea into the harbour — you still owe us for that, by the way.”
Stewart’s tearful realisation, after Oliver lays the current state of affairs out plainly for him? “We really have become our father.”
