Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart had some strong words about President Donald Trump's administration during a recent media event — and it's not what you'd expect.

The liberal comedian made a fortune attacking conservative causes for 16 years on his popular Comedy Central show.

Now that he's in the real world, he wants the media to know that the Trump administration is doing an "excellent job" — and Congress isn't doing enough to help.

And he was so serious, he demanded the media turn on their cameras see his statement.

On the dark day of September 11, 2001, New York City's first responders selflessly gave up everything to rush into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to save American lives. It's a cause near and dear to Stewart's heart, and he's fought to make sure these brave heroes have the healthcare costs associated with 9/11 covered by the government.

At a press conference in New York City on Monday, Stewart praised the Trump administration's commitment to these heroes — unlike former President Barack Obama.

"Are the cameras on? Is everybody on me?" Stewart asked the media at a recent press conference, held to demand Congressional permanent funding for the bill for 9/11 survivors.

"The Trump Justice Department is doing an excellent job administrating this program," Stewart said. "The claims are going through faster, and the awards are coming through."
