“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart accidentally sliced his hand open while smashing a mug in anger at President Biden and his indecisive news, which Stewart has long credited with getting President Trump elected.

Stewart opened Monday’s show by pretending to be a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer and taking a clear dig at Elon Musk and his 13 children by pulling out a calculator and a “World’s Most Dad” mug. The left-wing comedian then said the initiatives audits and cost-cutting recommendations should focus on subsides provided to corporations before turning to former President Biden for once bragging about cutting costs of just 10 drugs.

“F***king thanks! Come on!” he yelled before smashing the mug on his desk in dramatic fashion as a photo of the former president remained onscreen. After continuing the monologue for a moment or so, Stewart appeared to be in pain as he placed his hand under the desk. “I’ll be going to the hospital soon,” he then joked.

Elsewhere in the monologue, Stewart raised his now bloody hand later in the monologue, drawing gasps from the studio audience.“It’s fine!” he assured the crowd. The “Daily Show” host later poked fun at himself in an X post promoting the episode, stating that it will be a “bloody good one.”

“Emphasis on the bloody… I’m an idiot,” the post added.

In his monologue, Stewart claimed that he “wants DOGE to work — I want better efficiencies,” he said before adding that “we are DOGEing in the wrong place if we want to really change the system.”

Instead of focusing on the vast government waste uncovered by the committee so far — which includes billions for sex change operations in foreign countries — Stewart wants to see DOGE focus on corporate greed. “We’re getting f—cked at a Diddy party, and they’re making us buy the baby oil,” the “Daily Show” hosted ranted.
