Michael Bloomberg is out and Bill de Blasio is in — and what better way for Jon Stewart to celebrate than by sharing Big Gulps and pizza with the 109th New York City Mayor.
Earlier this year, de Blasio got caught in a minor scandal when he was photographed and filmed eating pizza with a knife and fork, instead of using his hands. So on Monday night’s episode of The Daily Show, Stewart took the opportunity to teach the Mayor the correct way to consume the delicious food.
“Now, Bloomberg, as you know, used to have his food chewed and then put back into his mouth, like a baby bird,” Stewart said. “But this is unacceptable, sir.”
He pulled out a box of pizza and proceeded to dish them both up a slice — with no eating utensils to be seen. But the new Mayor was prepared nonetheless.
“We are always ready for our pizza,” de Blasio deadpanned, pulling a fork and knife out of his suit jacket.
The host convinced de Blasio to try using his hands, and then toasted his success by pulling a Big Gulp out from under the desk — after making sure that the former Mayor was gone, taking his attempted ban on large sugary drinks with him.
