The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Ronny Chieng plunges into America's evolving war with Iran, how global fuel shortages are making Thai news anchors sweaty, whether Iran's AI video of Jesus casting Trump into hell falls under Hegseth’s “patriotic” label, and how all this chaos is somehow improving the U.S. stock market. Plus, Iran’s stream of “slopaganda” is inspiring Michael Kosta to do his part in the emerging meme war.

Grace Kuhlenschmidt breaks down the hottest tech news, including the rise of "tech neck" from chronic phone use, marathon runners racing against robots in China, and an AI avatar that could finally give the world a lifelike Mark Zuckerberg, in the latest edition of Tech Yeah!

From a Powerpoint pitch to a hit series, writer and director Lee Sung Jin joins Ronny and breaks down how the new season of his award-winning Netflix series ”Beef” came together through honest collaboration and real-life inspirations. Jin explores generational divides and relates them to why this season takes place at a country club. Plus, he tells the story of returning to Korea after 20 years to film parts of Season 2 with legendary actors Youn Yuh-jung and Song Kang-ho, and getting a surprise set visit from “Parasite” director Bong Joon-ho.

JD Vance continues his apology tour on Trump’s behalf at a TPUSA event, begging Gen Z not to leave MAGA over Iran and Epstein frustrations, and Ronny Chieng tries to make sense of Trump’s “Diet Coke is healthy” logic. Plus, since Trump’s Jesus AI images won’t stop, Grace Kuhlenschmidt steps in as a fully supportive, temporary “war pope."

Professional naming expert Marco Glennwald III is losing his mind over the president's insistence on naming every goddamn thing after himself.

Filmmaker and actor Zoe Lister-Jones sits down with Ronny to discuss starring in the Peacock series, "The Miniature Wife."

Ronny Chieng dives into JD Vance's ill-prepared excuse for Trump’s Jesus AI, the VP telling Pope Leo how to pope, RFK Jr. utilizing his best asset for podcasting, and Trump saying he’ll “look into” FEMA head Gregg Phillips's Waffle House teleportation claims.

 In this installment of In My Opinion, Nick Offerman sounds off on how Trump is injecting his self-aggrandizing jackassery into America's 250th birthday - from slapping his John Hancock onto U.S. currency to staging a UFC battle at the White House - and calls on citizens to find their own way to patriotically party down.

Acclaimed filmmaker Bao Nguyen sits down with Ronny to discuss his latest documentary, "BTS: The Return." They talk about following BTS’s creative process as a fly on the wall, the big reunion after the band completed their national military service, the documentary narrative around honesty rather than facts, and the band’s vulnerable moments when living out their normal lives.

Jon Stewart dives into the backlash over Trump Jesus-ifying himself with AI, the president claiming he was just depicting himself as a “doctor” (treating a bedridden Jon Stewart?), and Trump starting an Easter beef with Pope Leo. Plus, JD Vance fails to secure a deal with Iran while ALSO failing to get Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban reelected.

Peace activists and authors of “The Future Is Peace,” Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon sit down with Jon to share their inspirational story of family loss and choosing reconciliation over revenge in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through honest dialogue, visits to Holocaust and Palestinian sites, and confronting painful stories, they spread the message of how empathy can break cycles of violence and war. They also challenge the idea that empathy is naive and share what it was like meeting Pope Francis.

This week's host Ronny Chieng sits down with Daily Show writer Kat Radley to recap the latest news, and preview what's coming up next.

They unpack the latest in the Iran war, with Trump blockading the blockade, finding optimism in science with NASA's successful moon orbit mission, the weirdness of Melania's unprovoked Epstein statement, former New York mayor Eric Adam's newfound Albanian citizenship, and the FAA turning to gamers to try to fill the ranks of air traffic controllers.
