Jon Stewart slices open his hand on The Daily Show: 'I'll be going to the hospital'

Jon Stewart smashed a coffee mug during an impassioned moment of his opening monologue and cut open his hand on 'The Daily Show.' He later joked about the 'bloody good episode.'

Jon Stewart's appearance on Monday night's episode of The Daily Show left him bloodied after he smashed a coffee mug while ranting about the high price of prescription drugs. It happened during his monologue about the high cost Americans pay for prescription drugs, which he began by showing a clip of former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris standing before a crowd, promoting what a news anchor called "the first ever negotiation with pharmaceutical companies" and announcing that they'd come to an agreement to lower the price of 10 drugs. In the second part of the show, Stewart spoke with Georgetown Law's Rupa Bhattacharyya, who is the former Special Master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, about how deep, indiscriminate budget cuts Donald Trump administration advisor Elon Musk and his DOGE foot soldiers are making affect programs like the one she once oversaw.
