  "account": "Jon Stewart surprised his \"Daily Show\" audience by making a critical remark about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud during his Monday monologue. The comedian referenced Al Saud's investment in Skydance, the parent company of the show, while discussing Donald Trump's promises and failures ahead of the midterm elections. Stewart questioned Trump's claims of being \"for you\" when his administration primarily benefited billionaires and inanimate objects. He also criticized Trump's administration for treating the American people poorly, while allowing his family members, such as Elon Musk, to prosper. During the segment, Stewart turned his attention to the Saudi Crown Prince, exclaiming \"By the way, Your Highness, thank you for your investment in Skydance.\" The audience's response was a mix of groans, hoots, and applause as Stewart concluded by urging viewers to remember who Trump served during the midterms.",
