episode $1.8 Billion Slush Fund Has J6ers Playing Victim & Trump Creeps on Coast Guard Grad | “Weird Al” Yankovic cover

Beskrivelse

Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for his allies is here, and the line is already forming: the Proud Boys, the MyPillow guy, George Santos, and even the lectern guy! The Department of Justice insists $1.8 billion is an appropriate amount for the fund, and Ronny Chieng does the math to figure out how much money each eligible American will get. Plus, Trump couldn't stop gawking at hot, muscular men at the Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony, and the president broke the news that he'll probably be a little too busy to attend Don Jr.'s wedding. American history is complicated, filled with milestones eroded by backlash and triumphs marred by moral failure. But there's still one moment in this nation's 250-year history that brings all of us together: the 1992 Olympic Basketball Dream Team! Boom-shaka-laka! “Weird Al” Yankovic, Grammy and Emmy-award winning comedy music legend, talks to Ronny before heading out on his “Bigger and Weirder 2026” tour. The two look back on Yankovic’s decades-spanning career, from learning the accordion at his parents behest, to becoming the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with a discography that functions as a time capsule of pop culture. He also discusses his songwriting process for parodies and pastiches of musical style, why he likes to get permission before parodying an artist’s song, the challenges of parodying in 2026, and his personal quest to make polka sexy again. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

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

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.
