Daily Show

New York Times national religion correspondent Elizabeth Dias and national politics correspondent Lisa Lerer joined The Daily Show temp hosts Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper on Comedy Central on Wednesday to promote their new book, The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America. It was a mournful time for all as they mused about “radicalized” Republicans and how “horrified…

After a couple of weeks of vacation, the full slate of late night comedy shows returned on Monday to reveal their reactions to President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance and subsequent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. While nobody called for Biden to step aside, there were definitely calls for him to step up his game because democracy is allegedly at stake.

In the nine months since the end of the writers’ strike, the late night comedy shows have remained remarkably consistent, as a NewsBusters study determined 94 percent of their political guests have been liberal.

Jon Stewart was greatly distressed following the Thursday debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. On a special edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Stewart lamented that the nation’s two choices for president are an “asshole” and someone who has “resting 25th Amendment face.”

For the Tuesday installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Marlon Wayans broke out his Quan character as he interviewed former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade to ask if the affair with D.A. Fani Willis was worth ending democracy.

Jon Stewart was greatly displeased on Monday that “right-wing mother[bleeper]ers” have dared to criticize blue city crime rates and especially crimes committed with guns because, in his world, gun crime is Republicans’ fault.

Even by the standards of late night comedy, The Daily Show’s Grace Kuhlenschmidt is painfully unfunny. On Thursday’s episode on Comedy Central, she joined temp host Jordan Klepper to do her usual routine of playing an overly excited dumb woman who needs to be told what to do by everybody from the NBA to NASA in a ham-fisted attempt to satirize pro-lifers.

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God stopped by Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Wednesday to lament that Democrats don’t fight back harder against Republicans. However, he did find one Democrat he liked in Rep. Jasmine Crockett, whom he proceeded to welcome to throw the “Uncle Tom” smear at Rep. Byron Donalds and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

All five of the late night comedy talk show hosts managed to acknowledge the existence of Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict on their Tuesday shows, but mentioning something is not the same thing as joking about it. Instead, the quintet used the verdict to go after Donald Trump, Republicans, and lament the lack of gun control in America.

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show temp host Jordan Klepper tried to turn molehills into mountains on their Tuesday shows as they tried to claim that the secret recordings of Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann, are proof of religious nuttery and even fascism.

Never Trump lawyer and frequent MSNBC and CNN talking head George Conway traveled over to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Thursday. During his conversation with temp host Ronny Chieng, Conway would encourage the show and its network counterparts to keep making fun of Donald Trump while claiming that “we” need to “deprogram” his supporters.

Of all the late night comedians to react on Monday to former President Donald Trump’s conviction in New York, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was the only one to invite someone on to disagree with him about the appropriateness of the trial. That somebody was former Rep. Ken Buck, who, despite not being a Trump fan, pointed to several reasons why the trial was inappropriate and debunked Stewart’s…

Monday provided many of the late night comedians with their first opportunities to react to former President Trump being found guilty in his New York trial. They invoked everything from advent calendars holding whiskey to Blu-ray recorders to bad Hunter Biden analogies to applaud the verdict and attack Republicans for condemning it.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta and Troy Iwata continued the left-wing efforts to smear Justice Samuel Alito as some sort of insurrectionist or theocrat on their respective Thursday installments of The Late Show and The Daily Show for flying a Revolution-era Appeal to Heaven flag at his home.
