Everythings going to be okay… for you, a white guy a rich, old white guy.
You think my rich-old-white-guy privilege will save me?
Stewart sheepishly replied: I only host on Mondays.

“Oh really?
Okay, double woof,” Williams said, as Stewart stifled his laughter.
“Look, it doesn’t matter, okay?
No, come on.
Now, let me give you some advice: Look, Jon, I know youre exhausted.
Hell, I’m exhausted.
F— it!
Go ahead and take people’s rights.
I’m just going to plow through a case of Trulys and bench 52 episodes ofLove Island.'”
She continued, “I just want to be clear, all right?
Do not let them exhaust you.
Don’t let the constant, draining bulls— wear you out.
Do not turn away.
Look right down that barrel and say, ‘Not today, apathy!
I’m only having half a case of Trulys.’
Williams then reassured Stewart that she is there for him (andThe Daily Show).
Williams appears at around the 15:04 mark in the YouTube video above.
