Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Al Franken and correspondent Michael Kosta took aim at Fox’s Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, implying that he is a racist and labeling him “a world class asshole.”

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers and Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Kal Penn used their Wednesday shows to condemn what they say is the GOP’s obsession with wokeness. For Meyers, the whole thing is frustrating because of the “incredibly stupid” word games, while Penn thinks wokeness is simply about empathy.

On Thursday, CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert declared Republicans to be bad Christians for their hypothetical budget which was one day after he compared Justice Samuel Alito to the Taliban for his Dobbs opinion.

On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech where he separated fact from fiction on his education policies and MSNBC’s Alex Wagner responded with some of the very fake news he meant to debunk. For added effect, she also labeled his policies “fascist.”

For the second day in a row, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell decided that her narrative about Texas’s pro-life law is more important than what the law actually says. During a Wednesday interview with Sen. Dick Durbin, Mitchell alleged a woman was denied emergency care because the state is leading the fight against women’s health.

Over the weekend, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech decrying the “woke mind virus,” but according to NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers’s Monday “Closer Look,” it is people like DeSantis who have a mind virus, because all they care about is “a collection of petty grievances” while he wants to teach accurate history and “provide gender-affirming care to children.”

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle’s weekly panel discussions on The 11th Hour always produce some absurd content, but Friday’s panel took the absurdity to a whole new level as it was alleged that Republicans seeking to ban gender transitions for minors are taking the country back to 1954 while making it more likely young people will commit suicide.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reacted the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference with his usual hurling of insults as he labeled attendees as both “fascist” and “racist.”

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle’s Friday The 11th Hour panel thinks they know why Republicans are passing “anti-LGBTQ” and pro-life laws: “to keep the heteronormative paradigm of this country intact” and “keep white men in power.”

Former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has announced her candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. She will be opposing the already announced former President Donald Trump.

Temp host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Sarah Silverman claimed on Wednesday that conservatives use “woke” as an “umbrella term” because it is a simpler way of saying “they're pieces of shit.” Ironically, Silverman used the word as her own umbrella term for “basic kindness”

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers has a theory on Wednesday as to why the train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, derailed: Donald Trump. This theory was basically a retelling of the talking points being spouted off by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert is ready for the 2024 GOP Primary and to use his show to help President Biden win re-election. On Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, he did not appreciate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s announcement video where she claimed in a video that the American founding is not racist.
