The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Desi Lydic breaks down the headlines, and as America approaches the midterms, things are not looking good for the GOP. But thanks to Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Republicans have a trick up their sleeve that might save them in November: crack down on in-flight furries! Plus, Jordan Klepper reports from Trump’s meeting with President Xi, where Trump got spooked by his own flyover and showed off his stunning new helipad. So all in all, a productive summit! Grace Kuhlenschmidt gets amped about the hottest news in tech: The foldable iPhone Duo is as creaseless as Grace's brain, Apple unveils a smart watch that can eavesdrop round the clock, robo-lympians burst into flames at the World Humanoid Robot Games, and a robotic companion comes equipped with huge cans, in the latest edition of Tech Yeah! Three-time Emmy winner Merritt Wever sits down with Desi to discuss her new film, “Primetime,” the story of Chris Hansen and “To Catch a Predator.” They talk about her first Daily Show audience-member experience, how Edie Falco became her “acting mom,” and the story behind her viral, emotionally honest first Emmy acceptance speech. Plus, Wever explains how she dove into her “Primetime” character by learning the art of “host finagling” from veteran TV producers and exploring what happens when news, entertainment, and law enforcement get entangled. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump can’t find Marco Rubio during his U.N. speech, and Jeanine Pirro seizes a Martian meteorite for some reason (shouldn’t that be the Space Force’s job?). Desi Lydic breaks down the headlines, including a BIG week for First Lady Melania Trump, who’s launching her second documentary passion project and putting Brian Kilmeade to sleep in the process. Michael Kosta plunges into the latest batch of midterm candidates caught up in scandal: Florida congressional hopeful Te Brown tries to lay low from the cops while running for office in two different states, New York candidate Chris Gallant's bondage pics put him in a bind, Michigan salsa entrepreneur Tom Smith takes heat for his far-right tweets, and Ohio's Brian Poindexter allegedly tried to swallow a crack rock at a traffic stop. Jessica Tarlov, co-host of "The Five" on Fox News and the "Raging Moderates" podcast, joins Desi to chat about her new book "I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends." The pair discuss going toe-to-toe with co-hosts across the aisle, taking criticism in stride (especially from the president), and how the first step to changing minds is opening doors. Plus, hear the special story behind Tarlov’s glasses and which Democrats she has her eye on for the 2028 presidential election. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Desi Lydic dives into the headlines with Trump’s press ban leaving him speechless (literally, he has no mic anymore). Plus, "AI" is out and “super intelligence” is in as the president coins a new term for his favorite humanity-threatening technology. And at the U.N., Trump’s passion for AI and starting beef come together as he dunks on other countries (and CNN), though by the looks of things, their delegates couldn’t care less. Either way, at least he still got to bro out with his favorite socialist Zohran Mamdani before leaving NYC. The great thing about America is anyone can run for office, and no one exemplifies that more than John Alite, a former mob enforcer turned New Jersey councilman. After doing time for "every crime you could think about," Alite turned his back on his hitman days and became a public servant in Englishtown, NJ. Josh Johnson had a sit-down with Alite to see how his extensive resume of bad deeds puts him in a unique position to do some good for his fellow New Jerseyans, and to find out whether this goodfella's redemption story is too good to be true. Grammy-winning artist Tom Morello sits down with Desi to discuss his new solo album, “Everyone Gets Everything They Want.” Morello shares how this is the heaviest thing he’s made since the first Rage Against the Machine album, how he lured his 15-year-old son, Roman, into a guitar career using “Stairway to Heaven” and how Roman ended up co-writing five songs on the album. He also discusses his upcoming festival, Power to the People, and credits his late activist mother, Mary, as the reason he believes every guitar riff can be an act of resistance. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart takes on the White House’s new press ban for major media outlets with the help of Desi Lydic, who was able to sneak into the Oval Office disguised as a golden cherub. Plus, as the threat of AI escalates (while AI enriches the president), Jon sees a sinister parallel between how people talk about bots and how MAGA talks about immigrants. Ari Emanuel, of TKO and WME Group, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his new memoir, “Roll the Calls.” The two discuss what Emanuel has learned over his legendary career: how to advocate for himself despite his dyslexia, how to channel anger and ego into a successful business, and how to stand up for the values you believe in. Plus, hear why Emanuel thinks his brother Rahm would be an incredible president— even though he’s NOT running. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Danielle Brooks joins Josh Johnson to talk about her new film, “If I Go Will They Miss Me,” where she plays Lozita, a mother caught between a son who worships his father like a God and a dad who can’t see himself that way. Brooks talks about shooting on-location in Watts, honoring the real woman her character is inspired by, and what motherhood has taught her about the roles she takes. Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and bestselling author Colin Kaepernick joins Josh Johnson to discuss his new memoir, "The Perilous Fight." They reflect on the 10-year anniversary of Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, the idea that activism doesn't need to be earned, it's required for society to work, and a reframing of risk assessment in activism that asks, "What do we risk if we don't take action?" Defector Media staff writer & cofounder and bestselling author, Giri Nathan, sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his book “Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men's Tennis," about the rise and rivalry of pro tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expanding NYC’s public restrooms, which is good because the war in Iran is once again going to s**t. Michael Kosta breaks down how the war continues to drive up prices, including the price of diesel (the fuel, not the jeans brand). Plus, move over, Strait of Hormuz: a hot, new, geopolitically tense strait has entered the villa. Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta butt heads over the biggest sports stories of the day: NY Giants quarterback Jameis Winston goes on a cologne-spritzing spree in the locker room, Sydney Sweeney takes heat for her naked Novig sports betting ad, and an Australian athlete becomes the Usain Bolt of sharting, in the latest edition of Sports War.

Pete Hegseth seeks troops with the perfect waist-to-height ratio to serve as props for his speech, and Kash Patel defends new FBI hiring standards that take a softer stance on bestiality. Plus, Josh Johnson dives into the details of Don Jr.'s Russian-funded wedding, while Don Jr.'s new wife steps in to share that the whole wedding wasn’t a bribe; only half of it was. With the U.S. and Canada mired in a full-blown trade war, Ronny Chieng pays a visit to a Canadian bar in New York City to find out how America's neighbors to the north are feeling about the unhinged bully to their south. And as it turns out, between Trump's punishing tariffs and the notion of becoming America's 51st state, the whole thing is enough to make a Canadian utter the friendliest "f**k off" ever. Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and bestselling author Colin Kaepernick joins Josh Johnson to discuss his new memoir, "The Perilous Fight."

Mitch McConnell dispels rumors about his death just in time for Anthropic insiders to announce that AI could kill us all in as little as six months. Thumbs up, Mitch! Josh Johnson dives into the headlines, including Trump’s answer to the urgent threat of AI: Everything will be fine as long as we have a “high IQ president." Which might be a problem. Can solar geoengineering cool the planet? Michael Kosta sits down with Make Sunsets founder Luke Iseman, who's taking the fight to climate change with the power of sulphur-filled balloons. But will Iseman's approach really deflate the climate crisis, or is he just high on his own supply? With the help of climate experts Shuchi Talati and David Keith, Kosta stops at nothing to get to the bottom of this, even if it means channeling his inner Walter White. Danielle Brooks joins Josh Johnson to talk about her new film, “If I Go Will They Miss Me,” where she plays Lozita, a mother caught between a son who worships his father like a God and a dad who can’t see himself that way.

Check out all of this week's great guests. Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it. Gov. Cox believes genuine, good-faith debate is the only way out of America’s polarization crisis and explains how Utah’s handling of religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights shows that opposing sides can find common ground. Jon debates the governor over whether the solution to America’s polarization starts with individuals talking to each other or with the system itself changing first. Michael Kosta sits down with best-selling author and New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino to chat about her latest piece, "Our Plastic-Surgery Nightmare.” The two discuss “Instagram face,” a term Tolentino coined in 2019, and how social media algorithms, AI, and big tech are tainting our perception of beauty. Tony Award-winning and Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his new film, “The Uprising.” They talk about how the peasant uprising of 1381 serves as a “long-distance mirror” to the political landscape of today, how acting serves as an empathy machine even when playing characters like Sam Altman, and what young men can learn from Carlos Alcaraz’s elegant U.S. Open loss. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump’s Republican Midterm Convention flops with low turnout, empty promises, and GOP behavior that is just straight up weird (we’re looking at you, Tim Scott). Michael Kosta dives into the highlights, including Trump’s pledge to give out $5,000 "dividends" if the GOP wins the House and Senate, the president's unhelpful roast of Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, and an onstage gavel that is just… too big. Plus, Desi Lydic hypes up the convention to Kosta, and even throws in some hand stuff.   Troy Iwata rounds up the latest international headlines that prove America isn't the only country with problems: British kids line up for a Titanic-themed slide, an Italian man gets busted for peddling a fake ancient theater, and Hitler's birthplace finds new life as a police station, in another edition of So Not Our Problem!

Josh marvels at the lengths Love went to maintain his fake NFL persona, from sharing sloppy "training" videos to conspicuously carrying his helmet at the beach, and proposes a novel punishment that fits the crime.

Trump’s delusions have him amping up his trade war with Canada, renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," denying rising food and gas prices in the U.S., and winning the Iran War again and again.

Josh Johnson dives into the Scottish takeover of Miami for the World Cup, the flock of tourists visiting D.C.'s bright green reflecting pool, Trump’s security escalation to catch possible pool “vandals,” and whether Trump's pool disaster is karma for trashing Obama’s previous reflecting pool fix. Plus, conservative media can’t stop talking about the pool, while Michael Kosta can’t stop dreaming about drinking it. Summer is here, and Lewis Black kicks it off with a look at some of the dumbest and most dangerous fitness trends of the season: sword yoga, which combines the health benefits of yoga with the hazard of lopping off a body part, neck hanging, which is turning Chinese youth into Christmas tree ornaments, and pistols and Pilates, the perfect workout for anyone whose fitness routine needs more guns. Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks to Josh Johnson about starring in the new film “Gangland.” They discuss what draws him to making westerns and how this film shows an evolution of the neo-western genre by centering Indigenous stories and talent, both in front of and behind the camera. Phillips also shares what still excites him about the creative process as an actor, speaks to his mission as a recently re-elected governor of the Actors Branch of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to seek out and uplift new talent, and encourages young artists not to build their careers on fleeting trends that might be a “foundation of sand.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart dives into Trump's talent for breaking what ain't broke, from throwing one of his cronies $1.7 million in taxpayer money to clean the D.C reflecting pool (which quickly went from "American Flag Blue" to Mountain Dew green) to launching an aggressive war on Iran with the goal of re-obliterating their nuclear program but instead settling on a gentle parenting-style deal that lets Iran keep their nukes, along with a few hundred billion dollars. Trump was not in the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, is just one of the few pieces uncovered in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” They sat down with Jon to compare Trump’s first and second terms as president, how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone, and what they uncovered behind his most controversial acts like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran War. They describe his second term as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny because who else can survive four indictments, two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time.  -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel s**ts for the rest of your life.
