Daily Show

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show claims to be a comedy show, but temp host Kal Penn and husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Chasten Buttigieg, turned it into the joke police on Thursday while condemning a recent joke told by former Vice President Mike Pence at Pete’s expense.

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers and Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Kal Penn used their Wednesday shows to condemn what they say is the GOP’s obsession with wokeness. For Meyers, the whole thing is frustrating because of the “incredibly stupid” word games, while Penn thinks wokeness is simply about empathy.

Fresh off his interview with President Biden, The Daily Show temp host Kal Penn attacked him from the left as he accused Biden and ConoccoPhillips of some “Silence of the Lambs serial killer shit” for a new oil drilling initiative in Alaska.

It was an Obama Administration reunion on Monday’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show as former Principal Associate Editor in the White House Office of Public Engagement Kal Penn kicked off his time as temp host by asking President Biden what he plans to do for “trans kids” who have deal with “regressive state laws” that Biden would describe as “close to sinful.”

Monday provided the late night comedians their first opportunity to react to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting that the Department of Energy has concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic began as a lab leak. Of those who covered the story, most dismissed it due to the DOE having “low confidence” in its conclusion.

Temp host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Sarah Silverman claimed on Wednesday that conservatives use “woke” as an “umbrella term” because it is a simpler way of saying “they're pieces of shit.” Ironically, Silverman used the word as her own umbrella term for “basic kindness”

Twenty-six-year-old Rep. Maxwell Frost travelled over to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Tuesday for an interview temp host Sarah Silverman to discuss an assortment of left-wing goals, one of which was gun control with Frost urging people to vote for “morally just leaders who actually give a damn about children’s lives.”

Lizz Winstead, creator of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, really was not a fan of this year’s Super Bowl commercials. First she melted down over Fox crowning Greg Gutfled “the new king of late night” and on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show she lamented “A hundred million dollar ads with people who are funding anti-abortion garbage” while “we are having bake sales.”

Lizz Winstead, a creator of The Daily Show, oozed profane rage against Greg Gutfeld who has overwhelmed her old show in the ratings.

Chelsea Handler’s attempt to win battle to be the full time host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show is going about as well as anyone could expect. On Wednesday’s episode, she confused shock value for comedy as she mused about the Pope’s sex life, labeled Fox News’s Tucker Carlson and Sen. J.D. Vance “boner killers,” and cited carbon footprints to defend her decision not to have…

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.
