Jon Stewart shocked his Daily Show audience on Monday when he cut his hand on a broken mug and continued delivering the monologue while bleeding.
Stewart cut his hand when he smashed a mug while speaking about the prescription drug prices. He moved the hand under the desk after looking at it and said “I might be going to the hospital soon.”
A few minutes later, guests caught a glimpse of the blood when he moved his fingers above the desk. As the audience gasped, he said: “I’m fine!”
The lively moment was part of a longer segment about Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency department, which Stewart mocked by offering his own suggestions on how to cut spending. “How about we just take the $3 billion in subsidies we give to oil and gas companies that already turned billions in profits?” he said to cheers.

In recent months, many Democrats have advocated for Stewart to run for President in 2028.
A petition on Change.org has already collected nearly one thousand signatures calling for the liberal talk show host to run.
