Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Wednesday to promote his new PBS documentary on the Electoral College. As Donald Trump may win the election despite losing the popular vote, Cobb and weekly host Michael Kosta probably felt it was important to delegitimize such a possible outcome.

Michael Kosta had the distinction of being in the anchor seat for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show after Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. Kosta claimed that the debate proves that Republicans only favor diversity when it comes to whether “women should have rights,” while MSNBC’s Paola Ramos continued her book tour and implied that Latinos who support…

A self-described “fearful” Michael Kosta welcomed Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Monday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central on night one of the Democratic National Convention from Chicago to implore her and other Democrats to have a long-term strategy against Donald Trump.

Thursday’s installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central hit the trifecta of current liberal talking points: Donald Trump is like Hitler, Kamala Harris is wonderful, and Tim Walz putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms is no big deal.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show’s temp host of the week, Michael Kosta, welcomed Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday by praising Walz’s liberal record as governor of Minnesota. Even jokes nominally about Walz were more about Midwestern stereotypes than Walz.

Comedy Central’s weekly temp host of The Daily Show, Michael Kosta, reacted to the outrage that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is  allowed to compete in the women’s Olympic boxing tournament on Monday by spreading fake news about pro-life laws in America in an attempt to argue conservatives are being hypocritical. He also conveniently never said the words “failed gender test.”

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta and Troy Iwata continued the left-wing efforts to smear Justice Samuel Alito as some sort of insurrectionist or theocrat on their respective Thursday installments of The Late Show and The Daily Show for flying a Revolution-era Appeal to Heaven flag at his home.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show brought out all the cringe on Thursday as temp host Michael Kosta labeled a recent Fox Business segment between Mark Simone and Larry Kudlow discussing abortion as “a ridiculous embarrassment.” That led him to do a sketch with Jordan Klepper where the two pretended to be stereotypical macho men who claimed to be pro-life, but also didn’t know how babies…

As conservatives debate the merits and demerits of Donald Trump endorsing a federalist policy on abortion, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show temp host Michael Kosta lamented that such a debate exists because, for them, even a moderate position on abortion is still extremist.

The cast of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show came together on Tuesday to put together a satirical movie trailer about a male GOP politician who becomes a woman after a “freak jacking off accident” and has an epiphany that the party needs to support abortion, all while portraying the party as a bunch of out-of-touch, sex-crazed misogynists.

The cast of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show reacted to the overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the House on Wednesday that would force ByteDance to divest from TikTok by accusing those in favor of hypocrisy and jealousy in a heavily sarcastic satirical news report.

Comedy Central sent Michael Kosta to Eagle Pass, Texas, to report on the border crisis for the Friday installment of The Daily Show, but according to him, the real crisis is about the reaction to the crisis as Texas is “attracting a flood of Republican governors, Congressional delegations, and even billionaire weirdos.”

For the men of Thursday’s late night comedy shows, if the “MAGA justices” on the Supreme Court hand Donald Trump a victory by announcing they will hear arguments on his claim to have presidential immunity, it is “terrible news for democracy” because, for them, only when a court rules against Trump is it legitimate. They simply “cannot [bleep] believe” any other version of events.

Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta used his second day of temp hosting The Daily Show to react to Sen. Mitch McConnell’s Wednesday decision to step down as the GOP Senate leader by accusing him of being responsible for school shootings.
