Jon Stewart has admitted he finds Tony Hinchcliffe “very funny” following the comedian’s widely criticized remarks at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
On Monday (October 28), the Daily Show host dedicated his opening monologue to discussing the Republican presidential nominee’s rally in New York City on Sunday evening, which has since been condemned by celebrities and politicians alike for the many racist and vulgar remarks made by speakers at the event.
Among the speakers at the rally, which included Tucker Carlson and David Rem, Hinchcliffe perhaps received the biggest pushback after calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” as well as other offensive comments aimed at Jewish and Black Americans.
As Stewart showed a clip from Hinchcliffe’s opening act, along with the multiple TV news anchors who subsequently criticized his jokes, the 61-year-old comedian took the opportunity to defend Hinchcliffe.
“Obviously, in retrospect, having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before election day and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically,” Stewart said. “But to be fair, the guy’s just really doing what he does.”
He then highlighted a video of Hinchcliffe’s set at the live Netflix comedy roast of Tom Brady, which took place earlier this year. Hinchcliffe has made a career out of writing jokes for celebrities on Comedy Central Roast, and offers brutal feedback to aspiring comedians on his podcast Kill Tony, which he co-hosts with Brian Redban.
After Stewart played a supercut of jokes from Hinchcliffe’s Roast of Tom Brady set, he couldn’t help but laugh at the controversial comedian’s segment.
“Yes, yes, of course, terrible, boo. There’s something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you,” Stewart admitted.
“I mean, bringing him to a rally and having him not do roast jokes? That’d be like bringing Beyoncé to a rally and not…,” he added, referencing the fact that Beyoncé gave a speech at a recent Kamala Harris rally rather than a performance.

Hinchcliffe has since doubled down on his controversial jokes made at the MSG rally. When Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz branded the comedian a “jackwad” for his racist remarks, Hinchcliffe hit back at Walz in a post shared to X/Twitter.
“These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his ‘busy schedule’ to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist,” the comedian wrote on Sunday.
“I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone… watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim… might be time to change your tampon.”
Hinchcliffe’s comments have also caught the attention of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, who immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris by sharing a campaign video with his 45 million Instagram followers. Jennifer Lopez took the opportunity to share her support for Harris by reposting the video with emojis of the Puerto Rican flag and a ballot box, signaling she had voted for the Democratic presidential nominee.
Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin also shared the clip of Hinchcliffe’s offensive joke on Instagram and said: “This is what they think of us. Vote for @kamalaharris.”
Trump’s re-election campaign has since attempted to distance itself from Hinchcliffe’s comments on Puerto Rico. In a statement, senior Trump adviser Danielle Alvarez claimed the joke “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
A Great British Bake Off favourite has been sent home leaving host Noel Fielding and fans devastated.
Palliative care assistant Nelly was sent home on Tuesday night’s show (29 October) after she failed to impress during Autumn Week.
Speaking after her exit, the 44-year-old said: “It’s not commiseration, it is a positive, I am so ready to leave. I never ever thought I would get to round six. I know my children are so proud.”
Nelly also revealed how host Noel was “genuinely upset” by her exit after the pair grew close while filming.
Fans were also devastated. One X user said: “I loved Nelly, I was only watching it for her”.

Strictly Come Dancing SLAMMED by animal charity over ‘violently obtained’ and ‘cruel’ part of show
STRICTLY Come Dancing has been slammed by an animal rights charity over a ‘violently obtained’ part of the show.
Every week, millions of viewers tune into the BBC One show to watch some of their favourite stars compete for the glitterball trophy.

This year, the likes of actress Sarah Hadland, EastEnders personality Jamie Borthwick and Love Island‘s Tasha Ghouri have all received high scores from the judges.
However, the bosses have not received such praise from animal charity PETA, who have slammed Strictly Come Dancing.
The organisation’s Vice President of Corporate Projects Yvonne Taylor has personally written to bosses, as she highlighted the continued use of feathers in the costumes of the show.
In her document that was seen by The Sun, she wrote: “Like many Brits, we love the dazzling dances Strictly Come Dancing brings to our screens, but we must spotlight one major concern: the series’ use of feathers.
“Real birds’ feathers are a product of extreme cruelty to animals and have no place on your dance floor. They are gory, not glamourous.”
In her letter, Mrs Taylor then went into more detail of the harmful effects of obtaining feathers for clothing materials.
“Industry use of other birds – like pheasants, parrots, and peacocks – is shrouded in secrecy, breeding black market activity.
“Live plucking, which is common, causes birds immense pain and sometimes fatal injuries.
“When you consider that factory farming birds to rob them of their plumes also increases the very real risk of a deadly bird flu pandemic, feathers are definitely something you don’t want to touch with a limbo stick!”
The charity noted that huge fashion designers like Stella McCartney are moving away from ‘cruelly obtained feathers’.
It also pointed out that the recent Victoria’s Secret show featured designs that were made exclusively from handcrafted faux feathers.
The Sun has contacted the BBC for comment.

Another classic year at the BFI London Film Festival concluded with a trio of heavyweight premieres, as Pablo Larraín’s Maria kicked off the closing weekend!!
Maria is the final film in Larraín’s trilogy of 20th century “iconic women”, following the acclaimed duo of Jackie and Spencer. British talent played a big role in bringing the film to life, with Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Spencer) serving as writer, along with production design from Academy Award nominee Guy Hendrix Dyas (Spencer, Inception).
The film depicts the life of famed opera singer Maria Callas during her final days in 1970s Paris, featuring what many have described as a career best performance from star Angelina Jolie, which feels apt for a portrayal of who Larraín calls “the greatest diva of the 20th century”.
A grandiose yet tragic spectacle, Maria is a befitting end to Larraín’s trilogy, and one that can’t be missed.
