Description

Samara Cyn, a recording artist making her late-night television debut, joins Josh Johnson to discuss her new EP, “backroads.” They talk about her raw and real lyrics, why her new EP is more lighthearted than her last release, how her music touches on the “really weird” state of a world going back on immigrant, LGBTQ+, and women’s rights, and her song “hardheaded,” which tackles privilege head-on. #DailyShow #SamaraCyn #JoshJohnson Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

I feel like Josh fully took the hosting opportunity to (1) find a way to meet his favorite artist and (2) try to become her friend (3) fanboy, and (4) make her more popular. It’s all pretty cute.

It is genuinely wonderful to see a young female singer being interviewed about her music, intention and process instead about her love life or body. I have never heard her music but I look forward to buying it.

That interview between Josh Johnson and Samara Cyn, absolutely gold. The kind of conversation that makes you sit up straight without even realizing it. Josh didn’t just interview Samara Cyn, he translated her brilliance for the room without stealing the spotlight. It was smooth, warm, genuine and sharp all at once, I really thought it was like watching a jazz set where every question was a note in the right key! I loved it, we need more of Josh!

“We’re not loving on our neighbors, and I feel like THAT’S WHACK.” Exactly right! This young woman has her priorities right.
