Stewart played a video clip of Harris reading off the electoral college votes Trump received before cheers erupted in the chamber.
“That’s gotta sting,” Stewart said afterward with a grimace.
“She’s like, ‘Um, I can hear you,'” he continued. “It’s like attending your own funeral and even the mourners are like, ‘Woo hoo!’”
“I can’t imagine anything that would be more uncomfortable than standing there while the crowd applauds your opponent,” he said.

After cheers erupted from Democrats after Harris read out her own electoral votes, Stewart joked, “There is a lot of joy in that room. I think she can still win this thing!”
“She just needs to find like 130,000 votes in Georgia! And then some in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and maybe Wisconsin. Maybe North Carolina…,” he trailed off.
The comedian wrapped up the segment by hailing the civility of the certification ceremony.
“It’s amazing how smoothly our democracy works when you don’t act like a little b—h when you lose. Not naming names! Just saying,” he said.
The election certification by Congress was the final step before Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Harris, in her role of presiding over the Senate, became the first vice president to oversee the congressional confirmation of his or her electoral loss since then-Vice President Al Gore did it in January 2001, after losing to George W. Bush in the 2000 election.
Four decades earlier, then-Vice President Richard Nixon presided over the certification of his narrow election loss in 1960 to John F. Kennedy.
