Jon Stewart activated his mobster voice to predict how the pending Paramount takeover of CNN is gonna go down. (Watch the video below.)

“I’d be astonished if they don’t walk in there and go like, ‘Eh, nice show you got here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it,’” the “Daily Show” host said on his podcast Wednesday.

“I think the kinds of changes that you’re seeing at CBS are in the offing, and ... he’s got a much more personal grudge against CNN than he does against CBS,” Stweart added.

The “he” is President Donald Trump, who the comedian said had an “astonishing” amount of pull in determining the expected merger.

So much so that Stewart predicted a venerable anchor on the news network is about to experience a Trumpian makeover in the studio.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see that looking more like the Oval [Office],” Stewart said. “You’re like, ‘Are those gold cherubs behind Wolf Blitzer?’”

Stewart even suggested one of the properties in the merger could end up in the hands of the Trump family somehow.

He also targeted reports that money from Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East was being used in the deal, raising more concerns about editorial news control.

“It’s so explicitly corrupt that it’s almost breathtaking,” Stewart said before adding, “This is like real fucking monarch shit for sure.”

Fast-forward to 1:26:05 for his dark and Trumpy CNN take:

Last week, CNN host Jake Tapper sounded the alarm in announcing that Paramount had the inside track to acquire CNN parent Warner Bros Discovery after Netflix backed off.

“So we have some breaking news in our national lead that affects everybody I’m looking at right now in the studio,” he said, turning his head theatrically toward staffers.

CNN staffers fear an overhaul is afoot.

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison reportedly assured the Trump administration that if he bought Warner, “he’d make sweeping changes to CNN.”

Trump has called CNN’s current leaders “a disgrace” and said that it was “imperative that CNN be sold.”

The Ellison-run Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount and subsidiary CBS last year spawned a right turn in the network’s news division under new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.

“The Daily Show,” a left-leaning political comedy program, faced uncertainty as a Paramount property after that deal. But Stewart is now signed on through 2026.
