STEWART: "Elmo, you need to take responsibility. Don’t blame the algorithm. A lot of kids count on you for life lessons, and Elmo, accountability is a big part of that."
ELMO: "Are you canceling Elmo? Once again, the so-called 'tolerant left' policing speech that’s inconvenient to their woke dogma. Who’s the real puppet now, Jon? Who’s the real puppet? Who’s the real puppet now? You! You! You’re the real puppet!"
STEWART: "What?! Elmo, that just sounds like alt-right talking point word salad."
ELMO: "Yeah. You said it, not Elmo! Elmo’s alt-right! No reason to cancel Elmo’s funding then!"
STEWART: "Oh, my God, is that what this is about?
(Audience reacts)
