We now know what Jon Stewart told The Daily Show live show audience when the show ended and it became increasingly clear the Donald Trump might win the election. The live taping started at 10:30 local time, and audience members were not allowed to have their phones on. So, they really didn’t learn about the near-Trump victory until they turned phones back on 90 minutes later. Before this, Jon wrapped up the show and then spoke directly to the audience in a more private moment. Keep reading to find out more… Jon reportedly said (via Variety), “Can I tell you what a joy you were, how happy I am to have spent the evening with you and not sitting at home throwing sh-t at my television screen. You have helped us all have a beautiful distraction, and you’re gonna leave here, and you’re gonna look at your phone, and you’re gonna go home, and you’re gonna have that weird feeling where your knees feel wobbly, and you’re like, ‘Do I have hypoglycemia?’ But you don’t! You just have a temporary anxiety and paralysis that comes with disappointment and just a soupçon of despair.” He continued, “It will pass. And we will be back, digging ditches for democracy once again in the way that we have always had to do, and I thank you guys for your dedication, and I thank you for being here. Get home safe.” We just learned that Kamala Harris has officially spoken to Donald Trump and conceded the election.
