    John Phelan Fired as Navy Sec., Replaced with Witch-Hunter Hung Cao | Ben McKenzie
    Apr 24 2026
    Michael Kosta dives into America's naval blockade of Iranian ports to pressure Iran as the U.S. Navy quietly falls apart on the home front. After Pete Hegseth's firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan, Trump replaces the unqualified rich guy with the technically more qualified Hung Cao, who is famous for his hatred of witches and calls for more "alpha males and alpha females" in the military. Not even the war in Iran can distract Trump from his longstanding blood feud with wind energy, but what's behind the president's anti-wind vendetta? Desi Lydic chronicles how, for Donald Trump, wind turbines morphed from a simple eyesore near his Scottish golf course in 2012 to the source of all the problems on planet Earth, in this installment of The Art of the Altercation. Ben McKenzie, actor, author, and director of the new documentary “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” talks to Michael about the ugly truths of cryptocurrency. He explains why crypto is not real money, how celebrity advertisements and lack of transparency mislead people on the risk level of their investments, and how criminals permeate the crypto industry, starting with Jeffrey Epstein. They also discuss crypto’s targeting of young men and the changes McKenzie hopes to see in the crypto world, from stricter regulations to legal consequences. "I am not saying it should be outlawed, I am simply asking for it to be regulated properly. And I’m also asking, politely, for the criminals to go to jail." Learn more about your ad choices.

    Trump Drags Out Iran War as Hormuz Blockade Pokes Holes in the Condom Industry | Maria Sharapova
    Apr 23 2026
    FBI Director Kash Patel's job might be like his drinks: on the rocks. Plus, as oil prices skyrocket and Trump shows no sign of being able to end the war with Iran or open the Strait of Hormuz, Michael Kosta gives the president an Earth Day shoutout for showing the world what happens when you don't invest in renewable resources. With the 2026 midterms fast approaching, Ronny Chieng sifts through the record number of D-list celebrities and influencer freaks announcing their candidacies, including reality TV bad boy Spencer Pratt, former "Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham, and manosphere antisemite Dan Bilzerian. Five-time Grand Slam tennis champion, investor, and bestselling author, Maria Sharapova, sits down with Michael to discuss her new Vox Media podcast, "Pretty Tough." They talk about adapting the "Pretty Tough" mentality from her youth into in-depth conversations with high-achieving women, taking on the manosphere in podcasting to make more room for women in the sandbox, using Grand Slam losses to become a better tennis player, and the advice she’d give to burgeoning players: trust your instincts and “don’t miss.” -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

    Kash Patel Denies Excessive Drinking & Labor Sec.’s Family Plays HR Violation Bingo | Noah Wyle
    Apr 22 2026
    The Trump administration gets in trouble for partying too hard, with FBI chief Kash Patel suing The Atlantic for putting his alleged drinking on blast, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigning over allegations of affairs and strip club trips, and her husband getting banned from department headquarters over reports of sexual misconduct. Plus, Michael Kosta gets the scoop on the Department of Labor's updated HR training video. In the midst of an unpopular war with Iran and a heated pope fight, Jordan Klepper went to a TPUSA event in Phoenix to see if the MAGA crowd was still on board the Trump train. Writer, director, and award-winning star of the HBO Max series “The Pitt,” Noah Wyle joins Michael to discuss how Season 2 examines mental health issues through his character, Dr. Robinavitch, and how the show manages to strike a balance between tragedy and hope. He also compares the ways audiences consume “The Pitt” to the ways they consumed the first medical drama he starred in, “ER,” and the perspective he has gained since his Dr. Carter days. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

    Apr 21 2026
    Jon Stewart breaks down Trump’s “Art of the Deal” strategy in Iran, following the threats, consequences, and concessions the president has made to win... nothing. Plus, Republicans celebrate the president’s self-proclaimed victory as “a brilliant day for the world,” and Trump signs a bill to fast-track the psychedelic drug ibogaine while bragging, “You think Biden could do that?” The President of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Annalena Baerbock sits down with Jon and breaks down the challenges facing the United Nations in a rapidly shifting global order. From tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz to the limits of the UN Security Council’s veto system, Baerbock explains why diplomacy is becoming more difficult and more necessary than ever. Baerbock also discusses overseeing the process of selecting the next U.N. Secretary General, and whether Member States will vote for a woman to lead the organization in its 80-year history. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
