Comedy Central

Chelsea Handler kicked off her week as temp host of The Daily Show by declaring “This is where I get to spend a week talking shit about all the whack jobs and hot messes out there.” Clearly not “all,” because later during an interview with Sen. Raphael Warnock, she wondered “how damaging” it is that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has banned Critical Race Theory.

Ibram Kendi took his book tour to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Monday night and in the least shocking development ever, called his critics racist for not agreeing with his redefinition of the word racist. Meanwhile, new temp host D.L. Hughley flat out lied that slavery is not being taught in Florida schools.

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner joined NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers on Thursday to decry Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s “Orwellian” and “white Christian nationalist” education policies while over on Comedy Central, Wanda Sykes wrapped up her time as The Daily Show’s temporary host by bringing on correspondent Roy Wood Jr. to provide a caricatured explanation of Missouri’s new anti-…

Temp host Wanda Sykes invited The Nation’s Katha Pollitt on to Comedy Central’s Tuesday edition of The Daily Show to lament the terminology of pro-lifers, declaring there to be “no such thing as an abortion doctor” and allow Pollitt to spread some debunked talking points about what pro-lifers really seek to achieve.

The Monday edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show included a video package of correspondent Roy Wood Jr. in Britain asking foreigners to condemn America, trash the Second Amendment, and wonder, “How do you show people that you've got a big dick, but you don’t have a gun?”

Day two of Leslie Jones guest hosting The Daily Show went about as well critics of Comedy Central’s list of fill ins expected. Jones teamed up with Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson to promote vasectomies as a reasonable response to Dobbs and to ask how to keep pro-lifers or “mother[bleep] out of pussy.”

Between calls for gun control, the demise of Roe v. Wade, and the regular news cycle, it was a year where the hosts of late night traded in their jokes for liberal rants, lectures, and other wandering pontifications. So, without further ado, here are the top -- or maybe bottom 10 -- moments of late night 2022.

As Trevor Noah stepped down as host of The Daily Show, Friday’s CBS Mornings lamented the general decline of late night TV. As correspondent Michelle Miller went through the data and upcoming Daily Show guest hosts, it never occurred to anyone that liberal activism might have something to do with it.

During his seven-year tenure as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Trevor Noah brought a reliably liberal bias to the program, a NewsBusters study has found.

The men of late night "comedy" finally got the opportunity on Monday to address the Twitter Files and the revelations of how Twitter suppressed the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. However, they missed the point about how the Post was censored and insisted the real story was the censorship of nude Hunter Biden photos.

Filmmaker Ondi Timoner travelled to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Wednesday to promote her film The Last Flight Home, but this isn’t just any other film, it is film that hypes the alleged “basic human right” of euthanasia.

Former President Barack Obama swung by The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central on Wednesday to promote his foundation’s “Democracy Forum.” With the state of democracy being the prime focus of the conversation, Noah asked why the state of political discourse is so bad. Proving that some things never change, Obama blamed Fox News.

The late-night comedy scene has been reliably liberal for a long time, but the 2022 midterm election was a regular messaging machine for the Democrats, a NewsBusters study has revealed.

MRC analysts found that during the fall campaign, from Labor Day through the Monday night before Election Day, liberal guests outnumbered conservative guests 46 to 0.

On a segment of popular radio and TV personality Charlamagne tha God's newest show called Hell of A Week, the panel talked about how white people did not vote correctly in Florida and Georgia. 

They credited black men for doing the right thing by voting for Stacy Abrams in large numbers. But that was not enough because there's sadly too many white people outside Atlanta and Miami.…
