Jon Stewart poked fun at the old tradition of Groundhog Day during Tuesday’s episode of “The Daily Show.”
Of course, the segment came just a day after Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and thereby predicted another six months of winter for Americans.

Stewart poked fun at the celebration of Groundhog Day, which centered in Pennsylvania.
“I forgot we’re still using groundhog-based technology to predict our weather,” joked Stewart, “and obviously Groundhog Zero is Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the Doppler 3000 of rodents was greeted by cheering throngs and Gobbler’s Knob’s best Zac Brown cover band.”
The comedian also reminded viewers of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s obvious role in a groundhog’s death during his state’s celebration of last year’s Groundhog Day.
“He dropped a groundhog off Mount de Blasio,” said Stewart. “It’s right there on the video. Can we get a grand jury? F—ing Staten Island.”
