Hey lovely Daily Show editor or social media person who puts these up. I love the themed compilations of older clips or interviews, but please please for the sake of my overthinker brain show us an original air date, at least for a second in the beginning or here in the info text. That helps so much to contextualizse many of the questions and remember which then-current thing they are refering to. Sometimes it drives me mad trying to place an interview in time just by the answers. Last part is a me-problem, but could also be fixed by those very helpful original airdates. 🙏
LIKE ALL OF YOU READING THIS… WHERE IS THE DAILY SHOW ?
Does anyone know what happened to the daily show. I like my 20 minute news and it's going on week 3. Everyone cant be on vacation 😢
Where’s Jon???!!!!
John can you come back from vacation please
The next time you have representatives on, please ask them why they are not organizing and attending protests? It would make all the difference is if they went outside with citizens against ICE, DC takeover, Israel etc.
Jimmy is my favorite character on Hacks!
If Chevy Chase can play Gerald Ford, then Bowen Yang can easily play James Donald Bowman.
I was in the army. The fact that part of training is to endure swearing, shouting, and pressure, while shooting, cleaning gun... the whole thing does not make sense.
