Trump Goes Ocean’s Eleven on Iran’s Oil & Knicks Put Off Winning to the Last Second | Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova

Desi Lydic and all of New York celebrate the Knicks' historic comeback to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, while Trump prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday in style with an algae-filled reflecting pool, a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and a slew of medical specialists. The president also pats himself on the back for an Iran deal that hasn't happened yet and his sneaky not-secret plan to steal one day's worth of oil from Iran. In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York F**king Knicks! 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. Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova sit down with Desi Lydic to discuss their new Netflix documentary, “Chris & Martina: The Final Set.” They reflect on the fame, sacrifices, and loneliness they both experienced as teenagers while also helping put women’s tennis on the map, and how their fierce rivalry of nearly 20 years evolved into deep friendship and helping each other through their respective cancer diagnoses. Martina also opens up about leaving her family behind for four years after defecting from Czechoslovakia, and Chris explains why she found herself lying on a hotel floor in a depression after winning Wimbledon. Plus, Desi invites tennis superfan Michael Kosta to join the conversation. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Sells UFC Coins as Iran Strikes & Melania Pushes AI in a Speech Worthy of AI | Nina Dobrev

Melania ushers in the age of AI while sounding like a robot, tensions rise again in Iran as the U.S. and Tehran trade blows, and Desi Lydic wonders when Trump will stop futzing with UFC coins and end the war. Plus, Jordan Klepper gets on the Trump administration’s commemorative coin train to fix inflation, stop wars, and celebrate America’s 250th. Troy Iwata takes a break from America's problems by taking aim at OTHER countries' problems, like the steady sinking of Mexico City, France's drunken deer hazard, Hong Kong's claw machine addiction crisis, and the rise of bread made from mummy yeast, in another round of "So Not Our Problem!" Actor and producer Nina Dobrev sits down with Desi to discuss starring in the crime thriller, “The Get Out.” They talk about the joy of playing a buttoned-up bank teller who’s totally unhinged, awkward make-out scenes with her co-star and longtime friend Aaron Paul, and channeling her wild side swimming with sharks, skydiving, and dirt biking. She also discusses the short film she stars in and produces, “General Admission,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, her production company’s mission to tell stories “for women, by women,” and her advice for women advocating for equal pay in the workplace. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Bad Luck Trump Ruins Knicks' Winning Streak & Spencer Pratt Loses L.A.'s Mayor Race | Laverne Cox

The Knicks took an L in Game 3 of the NBA Finals while Trump took a nap, and the president turns a blind eye to another loss: Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race. Upset at the drawn-out ballot count and falling rank of his fellow reality TV star Republican, Trump pulls the "rigged election" card, but Troy Iwata insists that this is just the way things are done in L.A., so chill. Much like his apps, Mark Zuckerberg has gotten a lot of updates over the years. From boy genius-ish to king of the Metaverse to one of Trump's besties, the Zuck has worn many hats and generated tons of controversy along the way. Follow his shape-shifting journey from dorm-room entrepreneur to science fiction overlord in The Daily Showography of Mark Zuckerberg: Human Status Update. Award-winning actress and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox joins Desi to talk about her new memoir “Transcendent.” They discuss some of the traumatic events of her childhood that she recounts in the book, how dance and creativity were a saving grace in her life, and how she has worked to find healing, purpose, and self-love in her adulthood. Cox also brings awareness to the Right’s coordinated campaign against trans people, especially in the courts where rights are being stripped away from trans people in real time, and explains how these attacks weaken the rights of every citizen. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Knicks Fans Brand Elmo a Traitor & Trump Storms Out of "Meet the Press" Interview | Jane Fonda

Elmo lights up the internet by staying neutral about the Knicks-Spurs Finals, Trump storms out of his "Meet the Press" interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, and all the president's lashing out against the press, avoiding rain, and dodging questions has Jon Stewart wondering: Why does the media let Trump's bulls**t slide? Jane Fonda sits down with Jon and reflects on following in the acting and activism footsteps of her father, who was a member of the original Committee for the First Amendment in 1947. Now, 80 years later, Fonda is part of the committee's revival and discusses their upcoming “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” in NYC on June 14th, which will extend to over 5,000 livestream viewing parties around the country. They talk about how music and the entertainment industry have always been part of resistance movements and what she’s learned about organizing to make change happen. “We have to become living ambassadors to an irresistible future where everybody will be seen and respected by their government, where everybody feels they’re being taken care of.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
