The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Jordan Klepper covers Trump calling a reporter a "dumb person" over questions about his ballooning ballroom project and dives into the president's CEO-spangled boys' trip to a major summit in China. Plus, while Trump is away overseas, MAGA pops off on Don Jr. and Eric’s Trump Mobile phone company for failing to fulfill its orders for roughly 600,000 people. The Constitution forbids Trump from being elected president again, but that hasn't stopped him from floating the idea with an endless stream of "jokes" about a 2028 run. Charlamagne Tha God looks at how Republicans are giving Trump cover by shrugging off his third-term talk as playful trolling, all while refusing to state whether they think he's bound by the 22nd Amendment. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and best-selling author, sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss alien etiquette and his new book, "Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter." They talk about what the Pentagon files mean for the reality of UFOs, leaving flat-earthers at home for your first extraterrestrial encounter, what movies and pop culture are getting wrong about alien depictions, and whether intelligent alien life would be interested in meeting Donald Trump. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Actor Paul Dano talks to Jordan about his latest film, “The Wizard of the Kremlin.” He describes his role as a Russian media manipulator who assisted in Vladimir Putin’s ascension from KGB foreign intelligence officer to president, and explains how the movie explores the idea of complicity and mirrors the current political climate not only in Russia, but globally. They speculate whether a comedic role may be in Dano's future and what it would be like to play Trump insider RFK Jr. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart dives into the hantavirus cruise ship panic sweeping the news cycle, the landfill visit that appears to have sparked the spread, whether we’re getting a pandemic sequel, and the media’s eagerness to sensationalize the virus while health experts urge calm. Plus, Trump gets his own version of the golden calf, and cruise ships offer free norovirus. Josh Tyrangiel, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of “AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter” joins Jon to discuss why there is a brief but closing window to use public pressure and political will to demand AI that actually works with human beings, and doesn’t replace them. Tyrangiel shares how teachers, doctors and caregivers are quietly using AI as a tool to change lives. They also discuss why Fortune 100 CEOs don’t want to talk about AI’s impact on their workforce and this idea of imagining “tech without the tech companies.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
