Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" audience reacted strongly on Monday when he brought back a controversial image of Stephen Hawking from the Epstein files. The comedian began his show with an announcement about a theme focused on artificial intelligence (AI), which immediately elicited a round of boos from the viewers. Stewart acknowledged the sudden shift in the audience's reaction, remarking, "My God, AI?"
He then briefly discussed concerns over AI's impact on data centers and local communities, before transitioning to President Trump's recent actions regarding AI leaders.
Stewart played various clips of Trump insulting prominent tech figures, including Mark Zuckerberg, whom he repeatedly called a "weirdo." The audience erupted in laughter and applause as Stewart highlighted Trump's potential announcement that AI leaders would "police themselves." This prompted Stewart to question the justification for allowing the tech giants to self-regulate, particularly when referencing Hawking's image from the Epstein files.
The audience's response was a mixture of laughter, gasps, and cheers as Stewart impersonated Hawking's synthetic voice.
