Comedian Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump on The Daily Show for lingering on stage during Spain's trophy celebration after the team won the 2026 World Cup final. Stewart questioned why the president inserted himself into a moment meant for the players, reflecting broader mockery from comedians of Trump's on-camera presence at the event, which comes amid other criticism, including reports that he was booed during the final's broadcast.

Stewart, visibly exasperated, asked "What the f*ck are you doing on the stage?" and referred to Trump mockingly as "Cankles Muldoon" for hogging attention meant for Spain's players. He also poked fun at other aspects of the event, including the choice of Sesame Street's The Count for a daytime halftime show and the fact that Trump later boasted about "FIFA's" success, seemingly conflating the World Cup match with the governing body itself. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in Sunday's final.
