Stewart slices his hand on prop

Jon Stewart slashed his hand Monday during a bit after smashing a prop mug in frustration with government inefficiencies.

The veteran “Daily Show” host, who began leading the program again on Mondays early last year, set up a makeshift Department of Government Efficiency office on his iconic news desk this week to try to figure out where “the waste, fraud and abuse in our system really is.”

In a tweet promoting the episode, Stewart wrote that “it’s a bloody good episode…emphasis on bloody…I’m an idiot…”
