On Monday night’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart celebrated being back behind the desk for the first time since the Blue Wave swept across the U.S. during last week’s midterm elections, then promptly shifted his focus to Trump’s peculiar “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday.

“Donald Trump headed over to the newly MAGA-fied CBS for a little self-soothing with one of ‘60 Minutes’’ new correspondents, a religious conservative by the name of Ross Douthat,” said Stewart before showing clips that saw the interviewer push back on Trump throughout. Talking about the increase in Trump’s net worth since returning to the White House, Douthat pressed: “My net worth did not go up by $3 billion.”
