The Daily Show: Ears Edition

King Charles visits Congress for open mic night, and Trump tries to out-tyrant His Majesty with another indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, this time for the "crime" of posting a photo of seashells spelling out "8647." Josh Johnson breaks down MAGA world's feverish accusations against Comey, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt decodes other treasonous hidden messages at the beach.

Islamophobia is all the rage right now, with prominent public figures delighting in smearing Muslims as pork-fearing fanatics hell-bent on conquering the world. But in the interest of accuracy, Muslim comedian Mo Amer has some notes.

Stand-up comedian Ali Siddiq sits down with Josh to discuss his NAACP Image Award-winning special, "My Two Sons." They talk about staying in Houston to pursue comedy and bring the community along with his success, connecting with incarcerated people to share how he changed his mindset beyond prison, why becoming independent with his comedy was a choice to preserve his agency, and going from small back room performances to selling out arenas in the U.S. and internationally on his Custom Fit tour.

Josh Johnson looks at how the GOP is scrambling to use the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to hard-sell Trump's $400 million ballroom on the pretense of national security, with American taxpayers footing the bill. Plus, Jordan Klepper finds out if other countries have security ideas better than just "ballroom."

From Peter Doocy to Dr. Oz to Marco Rubio, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog got up close and deeply personal with the D.C. power players and media heavyweights swarming the red carpet at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, aka Black Tie January 6.

Actor Gaten Matarazzo talks to Josh about starring in the new comedy, “Pizza Movie.” They discuss the foods that Matarazzo would go on a wild goose chase for and how he prepared for this “love letter to stoner movies.” He also describes his return to his theater roots in “Octet,” an upcoming movie musical directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Jon Stewart dives into the chaos at the White House Correspondents' Dinner: After a shooter interrupted mentalist Oz Pearlman revealing Karoline Leavitt’s baby name, cabinet members abandoned their wives to rush to safety, Wolf Blitzer reported on the scene without a shoe, and Trump insisted none of this would’ve happened in his larger, more secure, East Wing ballroom. Plus, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog recounts his traumatic night of dodging bullets while trying to avoid having his carcass eaten by RFK Jr.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jodi Kantor sits down with Jon to discuss The New York Times’ Supreme Court coverage and her latest book, “How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work.” They talk about getting a behind-the-scenes look at the Supreme Court’s internal documents and private correspondence that detail the expansion of shadow docket cases, how the partisan results of rulings benefit President Trump more than previous Democratic presidents, and Kantor advises young graduates on approaching their life’s work in a positive, productive way in “How to Start."
