“Come tonight from New York City’s crime-stricken expletive, a crime-stricken serpent, a disaster no one has ever seen. Someone’s National Guard should have broken into this place, right?” Stewart said.
The “The Daily Show” set was modified with decorative gold sculptures in a parody of the Gold accents added by playing cards For fireplaces, doorway arches, walls and other areas of the oval office.

David LettermanColbert’s predecessor on “The Late Show,” lamented the network’s move.
“I’ve felt bad about this because it’s where it’s heading, it’s right, it’s managed media,” Letterman appeared at the Atlantic Festival in New York on Thursday. “That’s not good. It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous.”
He added that people should not be fired simply because they “not sucked up” what Letterman called “authoritarian” president.
