On Thursday’s installment of  Comedy Central's The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper claimed to uncover the reason why Kamala Harris is trailing by 12 points among male voters: sexism. Klepper’s unoriginal “insight” led him to claim that “right-wingers” believe that if you vote for a woman, “your penis evaporates.”

Why are pro-lifers, pro-life? Could it be that they genuinely believe that the unborn child is a human being with rights? According to the Wednesday edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with host of the week Jordan Klepper and abortion activist and author Jessica Valenti, that is not even a possibility. It must either be because they want power within the GOP or they enjoy…

If journalism professor and PolitiFact founder Bill Adair meant to increase faith in the fact-checking industry with his appearance on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, he failed miserably. Adair told host Jon Stewart on Monday that the reason why Republicans get fact-checked more is because “lying... has just become a culture” in conservative circles.

Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Wednesday to promote his new PBS documentary on the Electoral College. As Donald Trump may win the election despite losing the popular vote, Cobb and weekly host Michael Kosta probably felt it was important to delegitimize such a possible outcome.

Michael Kosta had the distinction of being in the anchor seat for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show after Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. Kosta claimed that the debate proves that Republicans only favor diversity when it comes to whether “women should have rights,” while MSNBC’s Paola Ramos continued her book tour and implied that Latinos who support…

With only one week to go until the first anniversary of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart thought it would be a good idea to welcome far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates to Monday’s taping of The Daily Show to promote his new book and compare the besieged nation to slave owners and traders.

Actress and comedian Leslie Jones stopped by Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Thursday to deliver a monologue about how “[bleep] up” things are in America and how it is so obvious that even Europeans can see it.

With the vice presidential debate a week away, it was Tim Walz’s turn to get Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to produce a humorous look at his life story. However, instead of looking for jokes in Walz’s life or policies, The Daily Show chose to create a satirical ad mocking Republicans for not falling in love with him and his "sinister niceness."

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart is not a military or foreign policy genius, but he does play on TV. After 11 months of rocket fire from Hezbollah that has seen 60,000 Israelis become refugees in their own country, Israel has started to hit Hezbollah hard in recent days, leading Stewart to ask, “What did Lebanon do?” on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver came away with Emmy Awards on Sunday for most outstanding talk series and scripted variety show, respectively, for the year spanning June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024. However, Hollywood’s definition of what makes “outstanding” comedy appears to be different than most people's, as evidenced by the…

John Leguizamo is the kind of person who thinks political comedy is just ranting at someone with excessive amounts of swear words. On Thursday, Leguizamo stopped by Comedy Central and The Daily Show to claim that Republicans only want white people to vote by labeling GOP-backed election laws “bullshit.”

Three of the five regular late night comedy programs were able to react to Tuesday’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and all agreed that Harris was the big winner as they attacked Trump for spreading falsehoods while covering for the falsehoods told by Harris and the ABC moderators.

Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she…

For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…
