After Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo’s recent Iran War comments as being a possible departure from traditionally understood ideas around just war theory, CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, responded on Wednesday by telling Vance to “sit down” because he has been a Catholic since the 60s while Vance only converted in 2019. Colbert then went to a commercial, and…

The late night comedians like to think of themselves as the kind of people who use humor to highlight the absurdities coming from President Trump, but on their Monday shows, all they ended up doing was proving their own ignorance on the matters they chose to talk about. In this case, the subject was Trump’s announcement of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after Saturday’s failed negotiations…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Josh Johnson reacted to President Trump’s appearance at Markwayne Mullin’s swearing-in ceremony to be secretary of Homeland Security by declaring that the lack of a Pocahontas joke about Sen. Elizabeth Warren proves that Trump either is getting less racist or has dementia. Naturally, Johnson settled on the latter. Of course, Johnson…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart welcomed former spokesman for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, to Wednesday’s episode of The Weekly Show podcast to discuss the war in Iran. At one point, Stewart would allege that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gets a perverse sense of sexual satisfaction from the violence he is able to inflict on other people as a result of…

In the first week of the Iran war, the late night comedians told 94 percent of their jokes about the American side. By the third week, that percentage jumped to 97 percent, according to a new Media Research Center study.

For the last three weeks the late night comedy shows have relentlessly attacked President Trump amid the war in Iran, but on Monday, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart went over the other half of the American-Israeli alliance in an interview with former Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan on The Daily Show. Both men would also use Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to…

It should be obvious that the reason why the Pentagon is asking for $200 billion amid the war in Iran is to replenish its munition stockpiles after expending several air-defense interceptor missiles, standoff weapons, and other high-tech weapons and to build up the industrial base to lessen concerns about magazine depth going forward. However, late night comedy’s two Jimmies had a hard time…

The late night comedians reacted to the start of the Iran War with not only a week of disapproval but also a lopsided joke count. According to a new Media Research Center study, the hosts told 94 percent of their war-related jokes about the United States and our allies.

Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta wrapped up his week of bad military hot takes on by denouncing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for pressuring Scouting America to reverse certain changes it has made in recent years to align itself with the left side of the culture war. While imitating a conservative Scout and referencing the sexual abuse scandal, Kosta quipped, “We signed up to molest biological…

If a nation decides to go to war, it has a moral obligation to those it sends into harm’s way to give them every possible advantage to allow them to win as quickly and with as few casualties as possible. Somehow, this basic idea was offensive to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Michael Kosta, who ridiculed and condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for articulating…

It is one thing for critics to question the politicians’, including President Trump, rationale for supporting the war with Iran, but Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta began his week hosting The Daily Show on Tuesday by going several steps further and mocking U.S. Air Force pilots and Kuwaiti air defenders for a friendly fire accident that downed three F-15s.

The late night comedy shows were largely upset on Monday at combat operations against Iran that began on Saturday. Three of the five hosts tried to argue they were simply a distraction from the Epstein files while the others still managed to offer up some underwhelming criticisms.

Not content with Monday’s edition of The Daily Show, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart took to The Weekly Show podcast on Wednesday to continue his Olympic-sized hot takes about Team USA’s gold medal-winning hockey teams, where he also threw in some bad takes about health care in a capitalist system for good measure.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Desi Lydic tried to rebuke President Trump on Wednesday for condemning Democrats for not standing and applauding certain moments during his Tuesday State of the Union Address. According to Lydic, the reason they refused to stand was because of Trump’s “tyranny and lawless behavior,” but the specific situations that Lydic highlighted did…
