Jon Stewart broke down in tears on The Daily Show on Monday while paying tribute to his dog Dipper who passed away on Sunday.
In the clip posted to X (formerly Twitter), Stewart, just three episodes into his return to the show, told the audience about how Dipper made his way into his family's hearts and home.
He began:
"A little bit of a story...""About 12 years ago, maybe 13 years ago, my kids wanted to raise a little money for an animal shelter down in New York City."Stewart shared that the family baked cupcakes and set up a table outside the shelter, Animal Haven, to raise money, and that's when they met their Dipper.
"As an incentive, they brought out this oneish-year-old Brindle Pitbull who..."At that moment, Stewart became emotional and grabbed a box of tissues.
He explained that the Pitbull had been hit by a car in Brooklyn and lost his right leg.
Stewart continued:
"They put the dog in my lap, and we left that day feeling really good we had helped this organization.""And we also left with this oneish-year-old Pitbull. We called him Dipper."“In a world of good boys, he was the best."The host shared that Dipper often accompanied him to work on The Daily Show.
“He met actors and authors and presidents and kings. And he did what the Taliban could not do, which is, put a scare into Malala Yousafzai.”Stewart revealed that, sadly, Dipper died the previous day.
“Dipper passed away yesterday. He was ready. He was tired, but I wasn’t. And the family, we were all together.”He finished:
“My wish for you is one day you find that dog, that one dog…It’s just…It’s the best."Stewart then dedicated his "moment of zen" to Dipper by sharing a sweet clip of him playing in the snow.
Jon Stewart remembers his best boy, Dipper.

Oct 10, 2025
Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.
In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.
Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.
Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
