Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing, but fear not: the country has its best man on the case.
In the clip above, Jon Stewart reacts to the news that JD Vance is being sent to the negotiations with a long, drawn out, "Noooooooo!" followed by some commentary on how things are going so far.
"It's a risky move on [Donald] Trump's part, given that the first time he sent JD Vance overseas, JD Vance killed Pope Francis," says Stewart in the Daily Show monologue above. "It happened. 88 years. Pope Francis lived in leper colonies, went through so much in his life, survived. Spent 10 minutes with JD Vance and went, 'Check please, I'm out.'"
Stewart then cuts to footage of Vance appearing to be snubbed by Qatar's prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
"Well that is awkward," says Stewart. "JD Vance really answers the question, 'What if a middle school dance were a person?'"
