“I look like Sebastian Stan if you were to put his face through one of those filters on TikTok that show your appearance right before you die,” Stewart joked.
When Jon Stewart sat behind the desk at The Daily Show Monday, he was ready to talk The Apprentice — the new movie starring Sebastian Stan, not the one-time reality TV series of former President Donald Trump. A spokesman for the Republican presidential candidate has called the film “election interference.”
“That’s election interference?” Stewart said. “It’s not — maybe it’s election interference. But you gotta be a little bit flattered that you’re being played by Sebastian Stan.”
Stewart looked at a photo of the actor lovingly.
“Oh, Sebastian, if you are the Winter Soldier,” he said, referring to Stan’s Marvel character, “why is it suddenly so warm in here?”

Then Stewart joked, “I look like Sebastian Stan if you were to put his face through one of those filters on TikTok that show your appearance right before you die.”
Stewart noted the former president has called election interference in several situations and has “threatened them with either imprisonment, lawsuits, or censorship.”
He then played a clip of Elon Musk, as he appeared alongside Trump at a rally over the weekend and explained why he supports the candidate: “The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech.”
Stewart also feigned shock that Trump didn’t dislike Musk because the mogul is offering money to people who refer someone in a swing state to vote.
Stewart wasn’t having it.
“Elon, were you not watching the rest of the show?” Stewart asked. “A movie Trump doesn’t like is gonna get sued. A tech mogul he doesn’t like [Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg], he wants to put in prison. It’s not free speech if only Trump’s admirers get to do it without consequences. That’s just not how it works. It doesn’t go that way.”
He also mocked Musk bouncing around on Trump’s rally stage.
“I don’t see how [Trump’s] support of free speech is expose-the-belly worthy,” the host said. “I just don’t.”
Stewart agreed with the Trump campaign, when he cited a report that, if asked, Amazon’s assistant Alexa will not provide reasons to vote for Trump, while she will offer reasons to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“OK, I’ll give you that one,” Stewart said. “That’s f—ed up!”
