Donald Trump has, somewhat inevitably, been named Time's "Person of the Year" for a second time — and The Daily Show has some thoughts.

"This morning the editor of Time magazine came on TV to reveal who this year's person was, even though the moment you see the editor's face, you know right away it's Donald Trump," says host Michael Kosta, before playing a clip of editor Sam Jacobs looking deeply unenthusiastic as he makes the announcement.

"I'm super excited to be here, please don't be mad but it's the person we had to pick," says Kosta. "That's the most unenthusiastic reveal I've ever seen. That's how I act when my sister gives me scented lotion for Christmas. 'Okayyy, there it is.'"
