In his four part series "Behind the Veil" Jason visits Tehran to interact with everyday Iranians, and talk to activists and journalists like Ebrahim Yazdi, and Maziar Bahari, who was arrested and imprisoned for his participation, but returned to discuss his incarceration with Jon Stewart.

Grace Kuhlenschmidt has the latest on the hottest tech advancements, including fart-tracking underwear, science-backed dance moves for men, Waymo’s human solution to car doors left open, and an AI video of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise that answers the question: Who killed Jeffrey Epstein? Christa Miller, star and music supervisor of the Apple TV series “Shrinking,” joins Desi Lydic to discuss her personal connection to her character’s empty nester storyline, how this role has made her more comfortable with vulnerability as an actor, and what it’s like working

Desi Lydic recaps Donald Trump's record-long State of the Union address – which was part true crime podcast, part white noise machine –  including the the GOP waking up with rock-hard glutes from all the standing ovations they gave and the president giving out awards to every person in attendance... except for Troy Iwata. Jordan Klepper spotlights LindellTV, a 24/7 news outlet from an innovative media pioneer: The My Pillow Guy. Filled with A-list MAGA members, original rap music, ads within ads, and technical difficulties, LindellTV is asking the tough questions, like “Why does Trump look healthier than ever before?” Bestselling author of "The Anxious Generation" Jonathan Haidt and bestselling author of "How to Break Up with Your Phone" Catherine Price join Desi to discuss their new collaboration, "The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World."

Desi Lydic rounds up the latest vomit-inducing news from Trump's cabinet, including Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s shirtless sauna workout/milk-chugging video with Kid Rock, JD Vance's hot ranch crescent roll recipe that apparently food-poisoned Usha into marrying him, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's taxpayer-funded deportation f**k plane. Plus, after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr urged TV networks to air more pro-America content for the country's 250th birthday, Jordan Klepper keeps The Daily Show from getting too critical of the government with some patriotic public domain bangers. As climate change and nuclear war pose existential threats to humanity, space travel offers an increasingly plausible solution, but there's one big piece of the puzzle that still needs solving: space sex. Michael Kosta talks to scientists Simon Dubé and Maria Santaguida about their research on making space sex possible, and tests if he's got what it takes to join the thousand-mile-high club. Padma Lakshmi, Emmy-nominated TV host, Execu

Team USA sweeps Canada for gold in Olympic hockey, Jon Stewart navigates how MAGA interprets this win as proof of America's democratic superiority, and Desi Lydic homes in on the U.S. Olympic team's secret weapon: superior political systems. Plus, Jon explains how the Supreme Court took a wrecking ball to Trump’s tariff strategy and examines why the U.S. is on the brink of war with Iran. A. Mechele Dickerson, University of Texas law professor and author of "The Middle-Class New Deal: Restoring Upward Mobility and the American Dream," joins Jon to discuss how the government created the middle class they’ve now abandoned, how mortgage interest deductions, HOA exclusions, and school hours hinder the middle class, and how to restore the tentpoles of pension jobs and home ownership that fuel the middle-class American dream.

Jordan Klepper digs into Trump’s newest fake award, “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal," and how the president is embodying the win by committing the Pentagon to buying electricity from coal-powered plants, blocking the EPA’s ability to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and assuring miners that they wouldn’t want any other life. Grace Kuhlenschmidt talks to American digital nomads living in Mexico City, who bravely moved across the border for a life of cheap rent, no taxes, and bottomless margaritas, and hears from unamused locals who have been priced out of their homes and are pushing back against the gentrification of their neighborhoods and culture. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey talks to Jordan Klepper in the wake of Border Czar Tom Homan’s announcement that he will finally be ending Operation Metro Surge and withdrawing ICE agents from the city. They discuss how this development is a credit to the activism and strength of the people of Minneapolis, whose citizen journalism and support for their ne

Attorney General Pam Bondi goes off the rails in front of Congress over Epstein questions, an Olympic biathlete confesses to an affair after winning a bronze medal, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt gives Jordan Klepper the easy-to-solve riddle of Trump's sudden opposition to opening a new U.S.-Canada bridge. The U.S. might have a lot of problems, but Troy Iwata reminds us that other countries aren't perfect, either! He dives into an impersonal Chinese app for checking that your loved ones are alive without having to talk to them, french fries in England trying to drown themselves in the ocean, and militarized roaches in Germany, in a new segment called "So Not Our Problem!" Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Jarecki sits down with Jordan to discuss the impact of his Oscar-nominated documentary “The Alabama Solution.” They talk about the multi-year investigation into the Alabama prison system through contraband cell phone footage, how inhumane treatment and suspicious deaths inspired a group of incarcerated men to become

Jordan Klepper covers new revelations from the unredacted Epstein files, where Trump is mentioned over a million times, and dives into the continued fallout: King Charles faces hecklers across the pond, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick gets grilled by the Senate about his family outing to Epstein Island, and paleontologist Jack Horner is scrutinized for his interest in Epstein's "girls" (and fossils). Plus, Klepper digs into RFK Jr.'s dinosaur-hunting field trip with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a new installment of Sports War, Jordan Klepper and Desi Lydic go head-to-head over the biggest headlines in the world of sports, like Bad Bunny's record-setting Super Bowl halftime show, the Winter Olympian tearing down ICE with yellow snow, and a figure skater living his Olympic dream... of competing in a Minion costume. Actor, filmmaker, and author of the new novel “Superhero,” Tim Blake Nelson talks to Jordan Klepper about his years of working in entertainment that inspired this story about the making of a

Jon Stewart digs into MAGA's hair-trigger outrage at anything that doesn't align with their narrow set of values, from boycotting Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show with TPUSA's own "English"-language mediocrity fest, to the president setting a new racism high score with a social media post dehumanizing the Obamas, to dressing down a U.S. Olympic skier for expressing less than a fraction of the disdain for America that Trump himself has doled out. Democratic Governor of Kentucky and host of Sirius XM's "Andy Beshear Podcast," Andy Beshear, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the consequences of Trump’s presidency on Kentuckians, including how tariffs have halted jobs while raising costs and the Big Beautiful Bills' part in ruining rural healthcare. They discuss watching the MAGA fever break in the chronically red state, encouraging Democrats to colloquialize their speech to better connect with constituents, testing the Supreme Court’s strength in the administration by suing the President, and focusing on

This week's Daily Show host Jordan Klepper is joined by writer Zach DiLanzo to recap the news of the week, and preview what's to come. They'll dig in to Jordan's visit to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, his time at the premiere of Melania at the renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, and Trump's obsession with building monuments to himself.
