Jon Stewart’s return to The Daily Show has been marked by ‘both sides’ backlash, backlash to the backlash, and a prolonged discussion on the Israel-Gaza war. But his third episode Monday night was also punctuated by an emotional closing segment on Stewart’s three-legged dog, Dipper.
Fighting back tears, Stewart revealed that Dipper passed away on Sunday.
“He was ready,” Stewart said. “He was tired. But I wasn’t.”
