Half and Half: The Super Bowl Halftime Debates
The nation’s late night comedians had a field day dissecting Sunday’s controversial Super Bowl halftime shows. They covered both Bad Bunny’s official performance and the conservative counter-programming from Turning Point USA, fronted by Kid Rock.
Jon Stewart, on “The Daily Show,” didn’t hold back, quipping that conservatives had “a lot of nerve” criticizing Bad Bunny for not unifying the country, especially when many of them only recently learned Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
“Why the [expletive] is it the Super Bowl halftime entertainer’s job to unify the country? In what world is that their job? Oh, isn’t there another person whose job description is much more along those lines?” — JON STEWART

“The MAGA-verse was so hopping mad about Bad Bunny. It really is amazing how differently people can see the same thing. Half of us saw a heartwarming story of immigrants who had dreams to come to America — work hard, get married, grow up, raise families, sing, dance, play backgammon. The other half, it was like the movie ‘28 Days Later.’ It was a terrifying attack on humanity led by Jessica Alba.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“For a significant portion of Americans, everything that happens must uniformly be filtered through a particular MAGA-centric worldview, and judged on how well it conforms to that traditional vision, which doesn’t include knowing where the bibliotheca is.” — JON STEWART
“Mr. Bunny killed it, despite being trapped in an inescapable sugar cane hedge maze. He had Lady Gaga, he had Ricky Martin, he had the Mandalorian. He threw a wedding. He held a model U.N., and he even had the time to make a Con-Ed service stop mid-concert.” — JON STEWART
“President Trump posted that Bad Bunny had one of the worst halftimes ever. I disagree. The worst ever was the four years of Joe Biden in between Trump.” — GREG GUTFELD
“I love that he thinks Bad Bunny is the one guy in the world that’s fluent in Spanish: ‘[imitating Trump] Nobody understands. It’s a dead language.’” — JON STEWART
The Punchiest Punchlines (Kid Rock & Co. Edition)
“This is the Super Bowl. And is it too much to ask for a halftime show that this great nation can enjoy in its mother tongue? It’s why the good people at TPUSA went through the trouble of putting on an alternative all-American halftime show that celebrated this beautiful country in the king’s English we all share.” — JON STEWART
“This organization, Turning Point USA, felt the need to put on an alternative halftime show, the all-American halftime show headlined by Kid Rock, of course. They had high hopes for it. Ultimately, this might as well — they might as well have put on the ‘Kristi Noem Shoots her Puppy Bowl’ because this was not a good program.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“But surely you didn’t miss Bad Bunny just to watch an old man in acid-washed jorts badly lip-sync his way through a pretaped ‘ba-wi-di-ba’ performance.” — JON STEWART

“It went off with a lot of hitches. About a half an hour before kickoff, they posted, ‘Update: Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime show on X.’ So they directed everyone to watch it on YouTube, which I suspect is not an easy thing for most of the angry 75-year-old grandpas to figure out.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Even Donald Trump didn’t watch the Kid Rock halftime show. He watched Bad Bunny. He wanted to make sure he hated him as much as he thought he would, and he did.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“This is what they do. They complain about how bad everything is, and then they do it worse. And not only do they do it worse, they do it in jorts.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Next year it will be Lara Trump with a Ted Nugent cover band.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
