Fox News contributor Charlie Hurts. Even Governor Hockel is sorry he didn't beat her. Former Congressman Lee Zeldin. This cat has nine lives, thanks to being an expert at identity theft.

I like these people. An airhead Gov shows a tater love. True Wretchin, Gretchen went from a kidnapping hoax to making horrible potato jokes. Our video of the day comes to us from Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer, who announced news about higher education with the help of a talking potato.

Roll it. Hey, Governor Whitmer. How's it going? Hi, Professor Potato. I wanted to share some Yukon Gold News with you, my best. What is it? We both agree that every Michigander deserves an opportunity to go to college without frying their bank account. Absolutely.

A higher education helps you learn more skills, pursue your passions, and even plant your roots right here in Michigan. I think we found out where Brian Stelter's been. Now, got a tan. He won't be any beauty pageants. All right, now you might be thinking, am I high on mushrooms? on mushrooms. But no, this is a real video released by a sitting governor. So what's going on? Whitmer is acting more baked than that potato. But I guess if you want to tell taxpayers that they're footing the bill for even more useless crap, you might as well use a potato.

Seriously, if a potato inspires you to go to college, maybe you should just start practicing the question, do you want fries with that? More, please. but for too many college is financially out of reach that's why I'm so excited to announce an appealing plan oh I know what you're planning this year we will work together to make the first two years of community college tuition free for every high school graduate that's right professor michiganders will save an average of $4,000 as they earn their associate's degree

hey that isn't small potatoes that's a big deal To learn more, make sure you tune in for my state of the state address. I'll be there for sure. Later, Tater. Later, Tater. I still think I'm high. And I thought Whitmer was only bad at politics. Nice job, Michigan.

You elected a woman who talks to side dishes. You don't see Tudor Dixon chatting with a dish of cold slaw, or coleslaw. But that's Democrats for you, a governor who talks to starches. and a president who's a vegetable. Nice. Cat, as a native Michigander, is that how you say it, Michiganer? Michiganer, yeah.

Michiganer. How do you explain this? Okay, well, we do sketches on this show sometimes. Yes. If somebody came to me with a script and I looked down and it said, I've got some Yukon gold news for you, you're my best spud. Like, I wouldn't do it, right? I would also say, who on the staff has a problem with me?

I'd prefer you just tell me directly, right? Girl, your staff hates you. There's no way anybody could have watched it, like, wrote this, but like, this is going to look good. Yeah. Everybody that works for her hates her because this would have not gotten through any other way. This is humiliating, and you could have told, you could have known to be humiliating. So people hate you, sorry.

It's tough to hear, but I'll be the one to tell you since not as well. She needs a best friend. So don't do the potato thing. Yeah. Don't do the potato thing. Tyrus, and that wasn't even an appetizing potato. Usually, I love potatoes. I'm just curious.

Was Idaho aware of this cultural robbery? Anyone from Ireland? Yeah, I was like, whoa. Listen, this is what happens when you don't check what your staff is up to. Yeah. She didn't see the graphics. They said, hey, we got this really cool thing. It's going to be like Sesame Street.

and you're going to talk to a potato. She's like like a potato puppet. Like, yeah, kind of. And it's like the dude with the upside head. It doesn't even look like a potato. It looks like some sick furry thing. A caterpillar maybe. But whatever it is, it's terrible.

And she didn't see it because she was lazy. She wouldn't go to the studio. She did it on her phone. Yeah. So she has no idea what she's talking about or whom she's talking to or what technology is involved. She just saw it when it was done. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. It's fine. Then when they hit the thing, one of her staffers was like,

did you see the thing you just did? And she was like, yeah, it can't be the, oh my God, how do we get out of this? Like, this is what happens. You've got to double-check staff. That's why you check everything before it comes on air. Of course. Most of the time. Who is the potato? I really am dying. Yeah, I want to look at that potato. You know, I'm- Has a mustache looks like. It's a guy with a mustache. You know what it reminds me of? Hunter's penis. Been through a lot, people. By the way, she did miss a pun there.

He could have said, hey, what do you do for a living? And she can go, Idaho. Yeah. It's a pun, people. I don't really mean that. The only way this works is if the potato tries to kidnap her. Yeah. That's the only way this works.

A bunch of fries come up behind her. You know, it's like, let's get a lady. The potato could be an undercover fed. Yes. Fed, fed, fed, fed, fed, fed, fed. All right, Lee, you can do potato puns if you want. Or you can address what is wrong with our governors. So when I was running for governor, I was trying to work and hard to connect with Gen Z

and millennial voters. And I had no idea that this is what they're looking for, a governor who spends their day talking to a potato. I never realized that. And first off, it's a creepy-ass potato. To Tyrus's point, you have to address that. But, like, seriously, who does this relate to? Yeah.

I mean, other than Brian Stelter. Yeah. The target audience of this particular video, I can't name anyone who is watching this and saying, yes, it resonates. It's like for babies or something. It's like a Barney video. This is not for people going to college. It's warped. It's strange.

I'm worried about her. This is impeachable. This is. She's trying. And it's a tease to watch her state of the state address. What Sesame Street viewer is going to watch this and then tune in to her address? But I was impressed that you went with the Brian Stelter thing. That was a low-hanging tuber.

Yes, it was. But no, but this is what the funniest thing about all this. She's supposed to be the smart one. Yeah. This comes out as that book came out. Right. That Biden didn't want to pick Kamala Harris at all. in the first place. He wanted to pick her.

Yes. And it's like, so she's the smart one? Mm-hmm. It's like, where do we go from here? Yeah. Well, don't worry about that. She's going to get sued because people who identify as potatoes are going to be furious that they had a keyboard

and a laptop there knowing that potatoes don't have hands. So you're just rubbing it in his face that he's a vegetable without a posable thumb. So she's got enough problems to deal with right there because the potatoites, the potato iters, they're going to be furious when they will.

Well, all eyes will be on you, Governor. Eyes. Very appealing. Potatoes have eyes. Did you know that? Which is weird because you live underground. I know. It makes no sense to me at all.

That's why he knows. Yeah. Oh, wow. Up next is the Daily Show Toast with a recycled host. All right. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. Did you know that at Chevron,

True Stewart is returning as the host of the Daily Show nine years after he left it. Because he's just what late night comedy needs, new blood. Yes, he's following the old showbiz tradition of going out on top and then crawling back a decade later. But here we go again, another old white male running a show.

What happened to diversity, equity, and inclusion? I mean, at least give it to a woman. That way you could pay her less. A sexist would say. But maybe by hiring a white guy that makes it easier to blame a white guy when it fails. So he'll return as host every Monday starting on February 12th. But you know it's a bad sign

when something called The Daily Show only wants you once a week. This after Comedy Central threw hordes of guest hosts against the wall and none of them stuck. Most of them stunk. The rest of the nights will feature rotating comedians, although they'd get better ratings,

rotating rotissory chickens. Oh, Tyrus. You know, is he going to be the same, John Stewart? Like, I think everybody's going to expect he's coming out to bash Trump, but what if he doesn't? Then he'd lose his Mondays. Yeah.

Listen, he had the streaming show. How'd that work out? Not well. Not well. But it's Trump season officially after New Hampshire. Right. So his guests are going to be like Jim Acosta. Yeah.

He's going to, all the guys who made money off the Trump previous thing are now coming back in droves. It's going to start out as Monday. Yeah. But he's going to end up there all five days weeks. But they don't know how to be honest with the other comedians that they have filling in. So he's just doing Mondays. Yeah, that's the peak day. That's the day you want to get everyone off and running as a Monday.

But John Stewart was going to go on the Trump tour. He's going to be, every day having a different heart attack from Trump. And they brought me back in to save. It's a good story. That's how they're going to play it. And they'll do great with the 300,000 people that watch it. Yeah, you know, Lee, obviously they're doing this because this show is just destroying the competition. So they had to bring back.

Yes. You're welcome. You're welcome. Lee, is this a good move? the audience that moved over to gutfeld they're not running back to john stewart they're happy where they are and as far as john stewart to tyrus's point he is part of that angry unfunny delivery of of comedy eroded by somebody who forgot what being a comedian even is he is willing to cash in whatever chits have been earned whatever capital's been earned on

funny jokes of the past, to be able to speak to an audience one night a week. And I would say my prediction is exactly what Tyrus is. You're going to get anti-Trump anger between now and November. Who knows what he's going to want to do next. But, you know, he's surrounded by poison with some of the people he speaks to who hate Trump so much. And I think it has impacted him. This is a guy who was, you know, talented and able to deliver a funny joke. And his career was on the right path, but I think Trump's arrangement syndrome has blown it up. We're going to see anger and unfunny material coming out on Mondays on Comedy Central. Yeah. That's my turf. Charlie, but dude, I'm going to be more diplomatic. Do you think he's going to, I mean, Colbert and Kimmel

and that other guy that night, Seth Franklin? Yeah. McFarland? It's, Seth Myers. There you go. Yes. Do you think he's going to, like, fall into that group? or what? Well, I mean, if he has an ounce of integrity, he won't. And I have to be honest, I never watched him when he was big and when he was doing it every night, not just Mondays. So, but at least you'd hear about it sometimes. And like you said, there were, I mean, I do think there's some talent. He's not as dumb as the rest of him. He actually has, he has some, like, independent thoughts. And if he has any integrity at all, or any business sense, for that matter, he would realize there's like this wide open territory.

Phil Marr's doing. Yeah, you can just go out there and just eat it up and give you a little competition. Make you work for it a little bit. I don't want to work. Well, I think it'll make you better. Oh, no, it won't. Iron. How can this get better?

Iron sharpens iron, Craig. Look at me. This is the best you're ever going to get from me anyway. Tarley, jerk. Cat. You had three loyal fans. They're like, woo, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

They're all going like, thank you. I feel so much better being forced to applaud me. You know, Kat, are you as upset as I am that you know he's going to get paid more for that one show than everybody in the studio combined? He's going to get the Maddow deal, right? $100 million for one day a week. Maybe. Probably.

I don't know. I like John Stewart. I think that he did a good job. I liked watching him. I thank you one other person he was actually he had a lot of independent thoughts I think he's funny I can't imagine how those other people feel that were thought they were in the running for it though like Comedy Central did like the TV equivalent of like dating a bunch of people and then going back to the wife they said they were separated for him yes no one had to worry about they're probably like you said you two were over I would be a little upset but I'm gonna watch I'm gonna watch yeah I think the media is gonna adore him because he's back but I think he might make I think he might surprise them Because I think he's going to notice that the lane is already clogged. Well, he's already at odds of them with the pandemic stuff. Yes.

And I'm sure there's going to be a huge deal with him not openly supporting Hamas. Yeah, that's true. So he's going to have those couple hurdles even before he gets to Trumpville. Yeah, that's true. And he's got an opening there where there are a lot of people who are sort of emerging from Trump derangement syndrome and a lot of young people who are like, wait a minute, why did I believe all of those things? And questioning and, of course, destroying the credibility of the media. And all of these, you know.

It's going to be like one of those like nine to one ratios. Okay, I said one thing that's critical left. Now I get like nine anti-Trump jokes. So there'll be some viral moment where maybe Stewart says something that's hilarious and everyone's watching like, oh, maybe he's coming around. But yeah, the ratio is there's nine more jokes to come going after the right. All right. Maybe he'll get one in.
