On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart poked fun at ABC pulling the latest season of “The Bachelorette” from its schedule amid the explosive fallout between would-be star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen.

Stewart teed up the joke by outlining how “Trump’s America” has become a “dizzying, chaotic carnival ride.”

“It’s fucking madness out there,” Stewart said. “TSA lines longer than your trip, escalating threats in the Middle East, planes driving into trucks. The only thing giving me joy is looking forward to this season of ‘The Bachelorette.’ I mean, they got a strong, Mormon woman; she seems lovely. Hope that she finds — hold on, I am getting a call…..no!”
