Colbert was in the middle of his monologue when he called out Trump for his "hostile" relationship with the press when Stewart appeared from under his desk, saying, "I mean the whole thing is just, it's just... It's upsetting."
Colbert told Stewart, "You miss this, don't you?" He then let the guest host enjoy his his return to the show.
Stewart spent a few minutes mocking Trump's news conference and then decided to address the media directly.
"You finally thought you'd met your match. A blabbermouth who's as thin-skinned and narcissistic as you are. Well now it's over! Well, good riddance, I say! Kick him to the curb," he said.
Amid cheering from the studio audience, Stewart continued, "It is time for you to get your groove back, media... Here's my point, media. Here's my point. This breakup with Donald Trump has given you, the media, an amazing opportunity for self-reflection and improvement.
