ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng continued their dishonest attacks on the GOP’s spending bill, dubbed The Big Beautiful Bill, on their Thursday shows, calling it “mostly ass,” “cartoonishly mean,” and insisting people should “say goodbye to grandma.”

While some late comedians have attacked the GOP’s spending bill as an attack on poor people, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng decided to be different and take a swing at the national security portions, mainly President Trump’s call for a “Golden Dome” missile defense system. On Thursday’s episode of The Daily Show, Chieng quipped that the argument for the system sounds “like a us problem…

After Monday’s regularly scheduled episode of The Daily Show, Comedy Central aired a follow-up Jordan Klepper: Fingers the Pulse special where Klepper went around trying to figure out why young people, and especially young men, have drifted right. As part of his solution for liberals, he promoted Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and his love of anime boobs, but not the terrorists…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was not happy with CNN on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show as the network continued to promote Jake Tapper’s book about the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline amid his cancer diagnosis. The fact that the two could be related was not something Stewart even considered as a possibility.

Comedy Central’s bleep button operator got a workout on Wednesday as actress and comedian Leslie Jones stopped by The Daily Show to rant at the “evil” Trump Administration. The comedic elements, such as they were, mostly consisted of Jones’s heavy amounts of swearing and references to the more Freudian aspects of her personal life.

The Thursday editions of the late night comedy shows truly proved that they are simply MSNBC with more jokes. Like that network, they appreciated that the first American pope, the newly elected Leo XIV, has criticized President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on immigration. The fact that he would rebuke their views on abortion, gender, and sexuality were inconvenient things to be…

Comedian Lewis Black swung by Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Thursday to tie the 133 cardinals currently voting in the papal conclave to the Church’s child sexual abuse scandals. Black would also suggest that the cardinals actually support those who commit sex crimes.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to ring the alarm bells over what could happen should NPR lose its federal money. Maher painted a nightmarish scenario where people go without news, Sesame Street gets shut down, and political polarization increases because, according to her, public media is the “foundational infrastructure…

It was Democratic Senator Wednesday for the late night comedy shows. Before Elizabeth Warren appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Tammy Duckworth joined The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng on Comedy Central to attempt to equate…

Comedian Nimesh Patel swung by Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to muse about Indian-Americans who support President Trump. Patel would ridicule former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and unrelated FBI Director Kash Patel, but he would direct his most venomous rhetoric towards the Vance family as he claimed to hope that Second Lady Usha Vance has Stockholm Syndrome…

Jon Stewart devoted his Monday monologue on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to accusing President Trump of being an authoritarian. However, some of Stewart’s examples of authoritarianism, such as protecting women’s sports and defunding public broadcasting, were woefully unimpressive. Additionally, Stewart alleged Trump had bungled “the authoritarian bargain” that requires competence…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show held a satirical debate on its Friday show between host Desi Lydic and pretend White House correspondent Troy Iwata. While Lydic took the position that President Trump’s recent executive order on showerhead pressure was dumb and a waste of time, Iwata took the position that it was a welcome distraction from all the “bigger, real things.” Ultimately, the…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host of the week, Desi Lydic, welcomed Michigan State Senator and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow to Tuesday’s show to discuss her book Hate Won’t Win. Both host and guest lamented that “hate is having a moment” after the 2024 election as McMorrow tried to sanitize her record that led her to become famous in the first place.

Thus far, it has been a gloomy 2025 for the late night comedy shows as they have attacked Democrats from the left for not doing anything to stop Republicans, but on Wednesday, a trio of them claimed to have reason for optimism as they reacted to Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour talk. Some suggested he get an award, while others claimed he spoke for all of America, while others tried their hand at…
