Jon Stewart is literally speechless over Mike Huckabee's Holocaust comments

It's hard to believe that anything could leave the notoriouslysilver-tongued Jon Stewart with nothing to say then again, it could be argued that it's hard tobelieve a lot of what's happened recently among 2016U.S.presidential candidates.

In a biting segment onThe Daily Show Monday evening one of his last ever as the long-running TVprogram's host Stewartdecided to address what many have referred to as the "Trump-ification" of the upcomingelection.

And he slam-dunked his messagewithout uttering more than a single world.

"This president's foreign policy is the most feckless in American history,"Huckabeeis heardsaying in an audioclipfrom the controversial radio interview."It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven."

Normally, this is whereStewart would dish out hisusual brand of witty criticism.

What he did instead, however,was react to the clipthrough a series of facial expressions, noisesand theatrical gestures a shtick he kept upbetweenclips ofpoliticians denouncing Huckabee's"oven door" remark and ofHuckabeerefusing to apologize for it.

Even as footage rolled showing the former Arkansas governordissing Beyonc, promoting fried chicken joints,and sayinghewould havepretended to be transgenderin high school to shower with girls after gym class,Stewart kept mum.

Aside from that one opening "Hey," in fact, the typically verbose hostmanaged todeliver his entire segment without saying anything.

Had Huckabee'smost recent headline-making comment actuallyleft Stewart speechless?

Not really, according to the host, who explained at the end of the episode that his delivery was linked to a long-running joke among cast and crew members.

"For the past I don't know 15 or 16 years, we've had a running joke that I could really do the show without saying anything that I could just make stupid faces and grunt," he said."With two weeks to go, we thought, 'Yeah, yeah, why not?' So that's what we did. And I realized I've been working way too hard."

After 16 years on Comedy Central'sThe Daily Show, Stewart will host his final episode of theparody newscastAug. 6.
