On The Daily Show on Monday evening, host Jon Stewart brought up the capture of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate who had been arrested that day in connection with the killing of a health-insurance executive.
“They did appear to catch that guy today at a McDonald’s,” Stewart told his audience, eliciting a mix of boos and applause. “Look, I’m sorry guys.” The host then joked about the person who turned Mangione in to police, noting that “snitches get stitches, but obviously without pre-approval there’s really...” as guffaws filled the studio.
