Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she would simply be “a normal [bleep] president.”

Later, during Bateman’s ad, the subject of Harris’s policies came up only for him to dismiss the concerns, “What are Kamala's actual policies? Just the vague ones you'd expect from a normal Democrat trying to get elected.”

After a snippet of Harris claiming, “Our fight is the fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom,” Bateman continued, “Yeah, great, sounds good, but at least they’re going to be normal policies, you won't have to learn about Project 2025 or Great Replacement Theory, or whether a president can serve his term while in prison. What the hell are we doing here, gang? I’ve been episodes of Ozark less stressful than this.”
