    Bondi Spins Out Over Epstein Questions & Olympian Confesses Affair on Live TV  | Andrew Jarecki

    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 freedom fighters on the inside, the harsh punishments they’ve received for activism and work strikes, and how Alex Pretti’s death serves as a reminder of the power of truth-telling through cell phone footage.

    Trump in Epstein Files "a Million Times" & Lutnick Admits Lunch with Epstein | Tim Blake Nelson

    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 superhero movie, why he calls film sets a “microcosm of society,” and the artistic merit of big superhero movies. They also discuss America’s relationship to the superhero narrative, beginning with World War II-era comic books, and how superhero stories hold a mirror to the black-and-white view of good and evil that contributes to the American divide.

    Trump Defends Racist Obama Meme & MAGA Rages Over Bad Bunny’s Spanish Halftime Show | Gov. Andy Beshear

    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 the “why” Democrats fight, versus what they stand for.

    Trump Brags About Secret “Discombobulator” Weapon Amid Global Epstein Fallout | Jon Shenk and Marcus Capone

    Michael Kosta covers Trump's loose-lipped revelation of a secret military weapon he calls "the Discombobulator" and how fallout from the latest dump of Epstein emails is affecting prominent global figures, including the Andrew formerly known as Prince being forced into the time-out castle, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson shutting down her charity, and even Bill Clinton, who is set to testify about Epstein before Congress. Meanwhile, despite Trump's many mentions in the Epstein files, the president continues to remain off the hook.

    Desi Lydic unpacks Trump’s long-term beef with the NFL over reduced violence, racist name reversals, halftime performers, and the pageantry of the kickoff. After rejecting Trump’s advances to buy the Buffalo Bills, a 2014 conversation with Stephen A. Smith begs the difficult question: Is the NFL responsible for Trump’s presidency?

    Michael Kosta is joined by director Jon Shenk and former Navy SEAL Marcus Capone, whose experience healing trauma through an experimental psychedelic treatment in Mexico is shared in the Netflix documentary, “In Waves and War”. Capone discusses the treatment process of the ibogaine drug and how it affected him, his nonprofit, VETS, which helps other veterans access the drug, and his advice for young Navy SEALs. Shenk explains what drew him to the story, using animation to illustrate an ibogaine trip, and the movements to bring this treatment stateside.

    Trump Attacks CNN's Kaitlan Collins Over Epstein Q & Renovates D.C. in His Image | Ms. Pat

    Michael Kosta dives into Trump’s recent moves to steer the country back on track, which include the release of lame new “America Is Back” hats, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to get over the Epstein files and smile more, and continuing his D.C. makeover by building a massive arch across from the Lincoln Memorial. Plus, Grace Kuhlenschmidt shares further updates on the president’s construction rampage.

    The state that brought you President Ronald Reagan and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger offers a thrilling new contender for the White House: Governor Gavin Newsom. From enduring humble nepo baby beginnings in San Francisco, to opening a winery backed by an oil tycoon, to casting himself as an all-caps-posting foil to President Trump, Newsom is ready to make his national debut as a 2028 presidential candidate. This is the Daily Showography of Gavin Newsom.

    Ms. Pat, comedian, actor, and co-creator of the hit BET+ series, "The Ms. Pat Show," sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss the show's fifth season. They talk about fighting through network pulls for the chance to speak out about immigration, portraying a unique-yet-universal mother to viewers, preparing for a doomsday scenario in the current administration, and learning to believe in herself after being shot, abused, and incarcerated.

    Trump Floats Canceling Midterms & MAGA Pushes Alt Super Bowl Halftime Show | Paul Rosolie

    Conservatives amp up their mission to MAGA-fy America by overshadowing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance with Turning Point USA’s own D-list halftime show, and Michael Kosta connects the dots between Trump’s call for Republicans to "nationalize" voting and the president's never-ending claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Plus, Troy Iwata explains why Trump’s pitch to cancel the midterms is peak comedy.

    With Amazon’s $40 million documentary about the first lady premiering at the Trump Kennedy Center, Jordan Klepper ventured to Washington, D.C., where he chatted with attendees about director Brett Ratner’s appearance in the Epstein files, whether the film’s purchase was a bribe, and why THIS is what our country should be focused on right now — not Minneapolis.

    Amazon rainforest conservationist, wildlife filmmaker, and author Paul Rosolie talks to Michael about his latest book, “Junglekeeper: What It Takes to Change the World.” They discuss how Rosolie’s quest for adventure led him to the wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and the importance of preserving an ecosystem that produces one-fifth of the world’s fresh water and oxygen and is home to ancient trees that have acted as “skyscrapers of life” to thousands of species for over a millennium. He describes how the organization he founded, Junglekeepers, works with indigenous communities to protect the Amazon, how his historic encounter with a previously uncontacted tribe is a result of deforestation pressuring them out of seclusion, and how people worldwide can take actions big and small to help conservation efforts.

    DOJ Protects Trump From Epstein Accountability as MAGA Attacks "Sanctuary Cities" | Heather Ann Thompson

    Trump declares himself "absolved" by the latest release of Epstein files, while Elon Musk’s Christmas wish for a trip to the sex island is put on blast, and Jon Stewart finds himself on Epstein’s list… for documentary voiceovers. Plus, as MAGA continues to shield the president from all accountability, Jon Stewart shines a light on the double standard of sanctuary given to Trump vs. immigrants.

    Historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss her new book, “Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage.” They talk about how big a figure Bernie Goetz was in 1980s New York, hailed as a "vigilante" for shooting four young Black men on a subway train despite the attack being unprovoked, the story’s parallels to ICE shooting protesters in Minneapolis, the costs of violence, and how these types of injustices paved the way for Donald Trump.
