Comedy Central

For the late night comedy show hosts and their audiences, the Thursday indictment of former President Trump was more of a chance to enjoy a cathartic experience than anything else. However, buried beneath their joy was the sense that they haven’t completely thought through the ramifications.

Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host John Leguizamo fulfilled show creator Lizz Winstead’s dream of using the show to promote abortion on Wednesday as he campaigned for liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz. Leguizamo would also accuse Republicans of stealing the state legislature because conspiracy theories about stolen elections are apparently okay when…

Being a temp host of The Daily Show gives you a platform to bring on guests to talk about issues you care about and for current temp host John Leguizamo, that meant bringing on The View’s Ana Navarro on Monday to claim that Republicans are the real socialists who “hate you” and “hate me” for being Latinos.

Benjamin “BenDeLaCreme” Putnam of RuPaul’s Drag Race and Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Al Franken not only alleged that Republicans in Tennessee had no idea what they’re talking about when they passed their “insidious” ban on children attending drag shows, but such laws contribute to high suicide rates.

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.”

Former senator and current Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Al Franken lamented on Tuesday’s show that his jokes will not convince people to give up fossil fuels and save the planet because “we're in for a grim future” on climate change.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show claims to be a comedy show, but temp host Kal Penn and husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Chasten Buttigieg, turned it into the joke police on Thursday while condemning a recent joke told by former Vice President Mike Pence at Pete’s expense.

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.

Fresh off his interview with President Biden, The Daily Show temp host Kal Penn attacked him from the left as he accused Biden and ConoccoPhillips of some “Silence of the Lambs serial killer shit” for a new oil drilling initiative in Alaska.

It was an Obama Administration reunion on Monday’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show as former Principal Associate Editor in the White House Office of Public Engagement Kal Penn kicked off his time as temp host by asking President Biden what he plans to do for “trans kids” who have deal with “regressive state laws” that Biden would describe as “close to sinful.”

Monday provided the late night comedians their first opportunity to react to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting that the Department of Energy has concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic began as a lab leak. Of those who covered the story, most dismissed it due to the DOE having “low confidence” in its conclusion.

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”

Twenty-six-year-old Rep. Maxwell Frost travelled over to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Tuesday for an interview temp host Sarah Silverman to discuss an assortment of left-wing goals, one of which was gun control with Frost urging people to vote for “morally just leaders who actually give a damn about children’s lives.”

Lizz Winstead, creator of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, really was not a fan of this year’s Super Bowl commercials. First she melted down over Fox crowning Greg Gutfled “the new king of late night” and on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show she lamented “A hundred million dollar ads with people who are funding anti-abortion garbage” while “we are having bake sales.”
