Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper stopped by The Daily Show: Ears Edition podcast on Monday to preview his upcoming special that claims there is a dissonance between President Trump’s campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize and his actions in cities like Portland, Oregon. As part of the sneak peek, Klepper hyped his travels to Portland, where he wandered into one of the city’s naked bike…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart welcomed The New Yorker staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert to Monday’s taping of The Daily Show to promote her new book and prophesy impending doom on the environment. As Kolbert tells it, all the things that have come to define civilization have contributed to this impending catastrophe, and Manhattan itself is at risk if nothing changes.

Jon Stewart went on an F-bomb-laden rant on Thursday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast as he told conservative critics of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to “look in the mirror, fuck face.” According to Stewart, they are allegedly being hypocrites for not applying their same logic to President Trump amid his recent state dinner with the Saudi crown prince…

One of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show’s most corrosive effects on our culture has been to take complicated policy questions, dumb them down to a cliché for the sake of a cheap laugh, and then claim they were cutting through the political spin by getting to the heart of the issue. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s trip to Washington has put Middle East policy at the forefront…

Neither ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel nor Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng are foreign policy experts, but on Tuesday, they did try to play one on TV. As President Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House, Kimmel suggested it was all part of a get-rich-quick scheme involving Eric and Don Jr. while Chieng suggested it was part of Trump’…

Any line between liberal comedian activist and public broadcasting journalist was erased on Monday as CNN/PBS’s Christiane Amanpour joined Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, to claim that anti-Trump activism is what “we have to keep doing” amid an alleged slide towards authoritarianism.

Despite being a group of people eager to portray the government shutdown as Republicans’ fault, the late night comedians used their Monday shows to attack Senate Democrats for finally realizing they had no leverage and ending the shutdown.

As allegedly straightforward journalists seek to aid Democrats in their mission to pin the government shutdown on Republicans, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes joined Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday to sabotage that message and praise Democrats for shutting down the government.

Jon Stewart welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to Thursday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about everything from her failed presidential campaign to Donald Trump to the state of the Democratic Party. In one instance, Stewart claimed that Democrats need to go further left on healthcare because the “conservative” Obamacare…

In the Trump Era, the late night comedy shows have been looking for any glimmer of light they can find, and they think they have found it in New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. As the industry puts itself squarely in the middle of Mamdani Mania, it has done its part for the campaign by telling 95 percent of its mayoral election jokes about his rivals.

For the late night comedy shows, joking about Democrats in 2025 usually consists of lamenting the party isn’t socialist enough. To help this cause, on Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Show, radio host Charlamagne Tha God swung by Comedy Central to attack party leadership for not enthusiastically falling in behind Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral campaign, lament that the party…

Late night comedy’s all-out effort to drag Zohran Mamdani across the finish line in New York City’s upcoming mayoral election continued on Monday on Comedy Central with its most direct bit of campaigning. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart welcomed Mamdani to tell him how much “I love hearing” about his campaign and to claim that he has been surprised establishment Democrats have not fallen…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show is so desperate to prove that New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is not a communist that it sent Desi Lydic to interview Communist Party USA co-chair Joe Sims to insist that Mamdani is not, in fact, one of them. Of course, Sims had to propagandize as well as he lamented his movement’s “bad reputation” and that communism is actually all about…

The trend of the late night hosts devolving from comedians into DNC talking heads continued on Monday as they gushed over the weekend’s No Kings protestors. According to them, the size of the crowds should discredit the idea they were actually quite radical.
