Recurring The Daily Show host Josh Johnson surprised his viewers Thursday by joking that President Trump may deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump announced Wednesday that he’d brokered a fragile but hopeful peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this: I got to give Donald Trump some props here,” Johnson said in response to the news.
“It doesn’t happen a lot,” he added. “In fact, I can only think of this, the COVID vaccine, and Home Alone 2.”
Although the “props” line garnered some groans from the audience, Johnson drew even louder disapproval by adding, “Look, if this deal holds, maybe we should give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.”
As the crowd voiced their displeasure, Johnson added, “Or, and you won’t like this either, we let him burn the Epstein files.”
