Conservative Media Rallies Behind The Cheesecake Factory After Obama Serves Up Diss | Morgana Robinson
Obama roasted Trump’s White House renovations, so conservative media rushes to the defense of… The Cheesecake Factory? Jordan Klepper dives into the headlines as we approach the 2026 midterms, and chats with a very fishermanly John Hodgman, who comes bearing updates on Maine’s contentious Senate race. With the 2026 midterms just a week away, one group might have an outsized influence: influencers! Desi Lydic breaks down how social media stars are becoming the lifeblood of American political campaigns, with candidates joining them to answer illuminating questions like "What are your icks?" But not all influencers are motivated by civic duty. Amid reports of candidates using campaign funds to quietly pay influencers large sums of money, Desi urges everyone to vet their sources ahead of the election. Because casting your vote on the advice of a paid political hack will always be an ick. BAFTA-winning comedian and actor Morgana Robinson chats with Jordan about her new film, “Ali G: Who Iz I.” The two discuss what it was like to stay in character through long shooting days, how they pulled off the raunchy hijinks in the film, and what the audition process was like for such a unique project. Plus, Klepper learns some new NSFW British slang. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Gets Roasted by Obama & Transfixed by Nicki Minaj's Ass | Matthew Cole
Jon Stewart breaks down Trump’s closing argument ahead of the midterm elections, including his celebration of huge profits for oil and gas companies amid high prices, his Islamophobic vow to keep Abdul El-Sayed out of the Senate, and his plan to secure settlements for Camp Lejeune veterans… only IF Republicans win. Plus, Jon tackles Trump’s defense of abusive mothers, Obama’s slam-dunk Cheesecake Factory insult, and who the "you" is that Trump claims to represent. Investigative journalist Matthew Cole sits down with Jon to talk about his new book, “Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East.” Cole’s book chronicles a five-year investigation into Jared Kushner’s alleged “secret financial agreements and arrangements” made between Trump’s son-in-law and the rulers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Cole points out that Kushner’s lawyer unequivocally and emphatically denies everything in his book, but Cole remains “very confident that I have the story right.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

The Precap | An Inside Look at Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Red Flags
Jordan Klepper and Daily Show Supervising Producer Ian Berger kick off the week with a preview of Klepper's special, Red Flags, which premieres TONIGHT after The Daily Show. They discuss the whirlwind experience of turning around a 24-minute special in only 20 days and how, with the midterms approaching, the GOP is serving up a "turducken of fear" in an incoherent mishmash of McCarthyism and Islamophobia. Plus, Klepper explores how MAGA rallygoers in Middle American states like Nebraska have positioned NYC Mayor Mamdani as their unlikely boogeyman, while their Texas counterparts are obsessing over God's genitals in their attacks on Senate candidate James Talarico. Finally, Klepper and Ian wrap things up with a round of Daily Show & Tell and look ahead to this week's guests: Morgana Robinson, David Byrne, and Tracy Letts. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Is Hot for Tim Scott & Susan Collins Side-Eyes Troy Jackson's Second Cousin | Jimmy O. Yang
Midterm mania continues with competitive races turning deep-red states purple, or at least… burgundy red? Ronny Chieng breaks down the headlines, including Trump professing his love for Sen. Tim Scott and bragging about his favorite presidential side hustle: renaming bodies of water. Plus, Michael Kosta defends Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson after Susan Collins points out that his family tree has some funky branches. When a new Trump outrage hits the news cycle, Chief Deniability Officer Sheryl B. Bahama (Grace Kuhlenschmidt) steps in to provide GOP lawmakers with a protective layer of ignorance. Whether she's kidnapping Mike Johnson or brain-wiping Tommy Tuberville, Sheryl makes sure Republicans can respond to uncomfortable questions about Trump with a confident "I don't know." Actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang sits down with longtime friend Ronny to discuss his third comedy special, “Finally Home.” Yang chats about returning to Hong Kong to connect to his roots 25 years after moving to America, how finding his childhood diary inspired his new special, and the differences between the comment sections on Chinese and American social media. Plus, Yang and Ronny discuss sharing a trailer on the “Crazy Rich Asians” set and what it was like being co-stars in “Interior Chinatown.” -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Nixes Hegseth's Livestream Execution & JD Vance Unleashes New Laugh | Taika Waititi
A guffawing JD Vance struggles to remember what he’s good at, a Venezuelan billionaire knows the way to Trump’s heart is a bribe, and Ronny Chieng gets down to the real reason Pete Hegseth’s livestream firing squad got canceled: ableism? In this edition of In My Opinion, Mo Amer looks at how Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed remains a formidable candidate despite facing a barrage of increasingly unhinged Islamophobia. Mo explains that El-Sayed is neutralizing his attackers with a not-so-secret weapon: He's likable! Just as Zohran Mamdani was able to charm and disarm President Trump, El-Sayed is winning over people like Fox News's Jesse Watters by being a relatable guy with charisma to spare... and the TikTok dance moves to match. Academy Award-winning writer and director Taika Waititi joins Ronny to discuss his new film “Klara and the Sun.” The two discuss working with a star-studded cast to create an unexpectedly topical film about robot friends, shooting the film in New Zealand, and how the film industry in Waititi’s home country has changed over the years. Plus, Ronny shares his experience working with Waititi and how the director prioritizes giving back to the communities that make his movies possible. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow --New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Drools Over Sen. Jon Husted’s Ass & Fayette County Candidate Gets Piss Drunk? | Ben Gibbard
With the midterms in the homestretch, Trump gets horny over male Republican candidates, a pro-Vivek Ramaswamy ad recruits his opponent's mom to attack her, a Fayette County Council candidate locks in for a drunk interview about AI and guns, and Michael Kosta wonders if Trump has spent more time thinking about Jon Husted's butt or the Iran War. Jordan Klepper profiles Trump's newest former press secretary, Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job. Between Zacharia's disastrous first press briefing, her bona fides as a seasoned conspiracy theorist, and her extensive experience as an almost-lawyer, Klepper tries to get to the bottom of why Trump would reject someone who clearly had the whole MAGA package. Death Cab for Cutie’s lead singer, Ben Gibbard, joins Michael to talk about the band’s 11th studio album, “I Built You a Tower,” an exploration of how we compartmentalize grief just to get through the day. Gibbard looks back on 30 years of making music, how songwriting feels like therapy (but shouldn’t replace actual therapy), and how he finds transcendence while running ultramarathons. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow --New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
