Jon Stewart Celebrates Perry’s 2016 Run: ‘Prayer Really Does Work!’

Jon Stewart won’t be around to cover much of the 2016 election, but that doesn’t mean he can’t squeeze some campaign-related comedy out of the proceedings. And Lincoln Chafee calling for America to go on the metric system certainly helped.

But as for Rick Perry, Stewart was just over-the-moon excited, crying out, “Prayer really does work!”


He recalled how Perry “oops’ed himself out of the 2012 race and mocked his “new” glasses-wearing persona. As for Jeb Bush, Stewart was just bored with the wait, and Jessica Williams called him a human jar of mayonnaise.
