Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Monday tried to take up an unusual offer that President Donald Trump made to a group of Saudi investors last week.

“You can ask me anything you want,” Trump said. “You can talk sex, you can, whatever the hell you want.”

Stewart sat in puzzled silence for nearly 15 seconds as the audience laughed.

“We can ask about sex?” he finally asked.

Stewart reached under a table and pulled out a box marked “EPSTEIN FILES,” the files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was once close friends with Trump. He thumbed through the documents until he found the page he was looking for.

“Whose name is that?” he asked, pointing to a redacted line. “Is that your fucking name? Whose name is that?!”

Stewart offered a mock apology to Trump when he realized the president likely meant “general sex shit, like Loveline shit” and not the Epstein files.

“You know, honestly, his leering behavior is less ‘commander-in-chief at war’ and more ‘grandpa who’s lost his filter in public,’” Stewart said. “Instead of assuaging a nervous nation, he’s just embarrassing the whole family at dinner, going, ‘Hey, do you see, our waitress is a busty one, huh? Just like your grandma was!’”
