In order to pay off some of the $1.5 billion he owes to Sandy Hook families he defamed, Alex Jones' InfoWars is being shut down.

"Oh no, InfoWars is dead! But how will I know which vaccines turn me gay?" asked The Daily Show host Michael Kosta on Tuesday night. "The good news here is that this shows that if you maliciously lie to the American people you will be held accountable...like 0.3 percent of the time. And the rest of the time you'll be elected president."

Kosta goes on to mock Jones' attempts to keep selling dietary supplements right up until the last minute.

"It's crazy that his listeners think that the vaccine is going to kill them, but then they spend hundreds of dollars on off-label weight loss supplements, you know? 'I don't want anything weird in my body — that's why I take bethelpolyetrazol 15g and tiger gut.'" says Kosta before doing a slow turn to camera. "By the way if you're sad that you can no longer buy pills from the InfoWars store, please consider purchasing Michael Kosta's pills for a stronger brain or whatever, just give me your money you stupid piece of shit."
