Jon Stewart was back behind the desk of “The Daily Show” Monday night and went all in on everybody’s favorite subject, artificial intelligence, before getting a surprise visit from Meta’s adorable new AI mascot, Muse.

Stewart started off by breaking the news of the episode’s subject to a bemoaning audience. “Suddenly, the audience takes a turn,” he joked. “My God, AI! We’re talking about it for the whole show, from A to I.” He then went on to joke about Trump’s allegiance to the biggest leaders in AI — Mark Zuckerberg (whom Trump referred to as a “weirdo”), Sam Altman, Jensen Huang — despite calling them “Silicon Valley tyrants,” “dishonest,” and an “enemy of the people” in previous interviews. “I gotta say, I did not know Trump said true stuff at his rallies. You know, I’ve been too hard on him,” said Stewart.
