You're listening to the Daily Show. I'm Ducky Leibniz. I'm Duffy. Oh, man. Oh, man. Yes. Oh, and yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, this is my last day behind the desk. I know, I know, but please, please, don't be sad. Comedy Central said they're sending me to a farm upstate with all the other guest hosts, so it's going to be fun. We got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines. Let's begin with an update on former Fox News Grand Wizard Tucker Carlson.

Last night, Tucker re-emerged for the first time since he was fired, recording a personal video from his business sauna. Good evening, it's Tucker Carlson. One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They're completely irrelevant.

They mean nothing. In five years we won't even remember that we had them. Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon. Wow, good for Tucker. Even though he's isolated in a remote cabin somewhere, he's still getting his message out, just like the unibomber.

And you know what, you know what, let's give Tucker credit for not saying the sea word once during this video. Bravo, Tucker, I know, I know that was really hard for you. Although it is funny how he said, when you step outside, the noise, people are actually pretty nice. Buddy, you are the noise. Your entire show was you being mean to people, trans people, immigrants, women, lady M&Ms. Tucker complaining about people being mean,

is like Guy Fieri complaining about how there are no salad shows. Meanwhile CNN's female expiration date checker Don Lemon was also fired this week and he's handling things much differently. Don Lemon spoke for the first time at a star studded event appearing on the red carpet at the annual Time 100 gala in New York City. What is next for you Don I don't know? Sitting on the beach with this gentleman all summer and having a great summer and I'm gonna have the summer of a 12 year old. Yep, Don Lemon's gonna have the summer of a 12 year old so I guess getting horny while reading the Harry Potter books? I like how Tucker's like I'm gonna do whatever it takes to fight for the truth and and Don Lemon's like I'm the the the the the the the the the the the th I I I I I I I I I I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm gonna the the the th. I'm gonna th. I'm gonna th. I'm th. I'm their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the te. I'm gonna tea. I'm gonna tea. I'm gonna tea. I'm gonna tea. I'm gonna. I'm gonna te. I'm te.e? I like how Tucker's like,

I'm going to do whatever it takes to fight for the truth. And Don Lemon's like, I'm going to go boogie board. Don, listen, you don't need to go back to being a 12-year-old to live your best life. Don let anyone tell you your pastor prime. Let's move on to Washington, D.C., where Congress yesterday held hearings on COVID-school closings with testimony from Teachers Union President Randy Weingarden. And I think we can agree that this is an entirely reasonable subject for rational debate. That is, of course, unless Q& on

Karen is involved. Ms. Weingarden, are you a mother? I am a mother by marriage. By marriage, I see. And my wife is here with me, so I'm really glad that she's here. What I'd like to talk about is your recommendations to the CDC as not a medical doctor, not a biological mother, and really not a teacher. People like you need to admit that you're just a political activist. Not a teacher, not a mother and not a medical doctor. Jesus, what the hell was that about? Listen, Marjorie, you don't get to decide who's a mother or not.

That job exclusively belongs to gay men on Tick-Tock. Also, it's a little weird to hear M.T.G. dissing stepmother's, because this woman has the most step-mom energy I have ever seen. Remember that white coat? stepmother's because this woman has the most stepmom energy I have ever seen. Remember that white coat? Okay, that is not the coat you wear when you're a mom. That's the coat you wear when you're fucking someone's dad. And finally you may have noticed that air travel has been kind of a shit show lately, between unruly passengers, delays, long security lines, thanks to the TSA's policy of finding every Dildo.

Well, not every Dildo. Well, not every Dildo. And all of that was bad enough before a new problem showed up. Actual angry birds. Four dramatic bird strikes over Texas, all within 24 hours, forcing planes packed with passengers to turn around. Listen as pilots on a united flight from Houston to Santiago Chile describe it right after takeoff. We are clear, the emergency for the first strike. Two other flights and American airlines flight from McAllen to Chile, describe it right after take-off. We are to clear the emergency for the bird strike. Two other flights and American Airlines flight from McCallon to Dallas and a Southwest flight from Houston to Corpus Christi, all colliding with birds.

These strikes come after that terrifying incident over the weekend. Mayday, May day, May day, May. We had a bird strike. It is an agent. And we are only going to hear about more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more to hear more to hear more to hear more to hear more to hear more to hear about more to hear about more to hear about more of these as we go into the summer because more than half of all bird strikes happen between July and October. Not July through October. What about Don Lemon's 12-year-old summer? Oh man. Okay, birds flying into planes, that's terrifying. But I kind of get it. I just watched the Avatar sequel on a flight, and I also wanted to throw myself into a jet engine. The question is, how can we make the sky safer?

To get every perspective, we turn to our news team. Starting with our very old, Dulce! What can be done about the bird strikes? Oh, nothing. Look, this is survival of the fittest baby girl, okay? If a bird can't see or hear a 747, it's time for that bird to meet Bird Jesus. I mean that bird is not the best or the brightest. If it wasn't going to be a plane, it was going to be a glass door.

Sorry, Bird Jesus? The point is, we've had planes for over 70 years. If the birds don't know about it yet, that's on them. I'm not letting this stop me from me. We've had planes for over 70 years. If the birds don't know about it yet, that's on them. I'm not letting this stop me from going to Barbados. There's a nice man there called Winston looking for me. Hey, good for you, Jolce. That's... That's...

You know, that's a hard line position. So you're saying you don't care about any of the birds? Desi Elizabeth Lydick. Of course I care about the birds. Chickens are birds. And I f-h-sh-o'-chick with chickens. Because they know their place and that place isn't a sandwich. Fair point, fair point. Now we turn to the forest with our very own Jordan Clepper.

Yeah, I did. Jordan. So should humans show no regard for birds in the sky? Of course not, Desi. This is such a typical human response to colonize the air. First, we appropriate bird culture by flying into their home uninvited. We mock their bird ethnic cuisine by eating our little nuts in a bag. And then tell them they're not welcome not welcome no I will not be co-opting avian spaces the right brothers ha more like the wrong brothers if you want to get to

Houston just do what I do hop on an e-bike boom 30 days later you're there wow okay So, you're clearly Team Bird, interesting. Well, let's turn to Roywood Jr. Roy... Hey, Desi, what side are you on? Desi, I'm on neither side. The solution is to come together and share the skies. That's why we need to convince the birds to fly in the planes with us. It's a win-win. It's a

win-win. Look at me right now, Desi. I'm on a flight to Miami sharing a seat with this little guy. His name's Darryl and we've become great friends on this flight. Isn't that right? Roy that's so cute. That's very inspiring. I love that. Dulce Roy says that we can share the skies. Listen, you know what birds are like. If you give them an inch, they'll shit on it. Now I don't trust animals that poop white. I mean is this how me make whiteout? Does anybody know what white out is? I didn't think so. Okay, I know about that. But Jordan what do

you think? No, that's not how they make white out. Frankly the only upside to humans in the sky is that we might die. That's when we're reminded we are alive. Does he? I'm gonna tell you a story. A while ago before I was versed th I was the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. W thi thi thi thi thi. W. W. W.

That's when we're reminded we are alive. Desi, I'm gonna tell you a story. A while ago before I was versed in the oppressive structures of aerodynamics, I was on a flight that was hit by a bird strike. And I thought I was going to perish. And while the plane was going down, I called a girl I had a crush out in high school and told her I loved her. Oh wow, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thue. thue. thue. thi their I was their I was their I was their I was their I was a their I was a their I was a their I was their I had their I had their I was a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their I was their I was their I was their I was their I was their I was a their I was a th. I was a th. I was a th. I was a to. I was to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. sweet story. Well my wife didn't think so. Neither did Tanya or her husband. By the time I landed two marriages were in shambles. That's why man doesn't belong in the sky.

Desi will only end in tears in three months in a Buffalo airport looking to inn. Oh, that's sad. I have to say I like the idea of sharing our planes with the birds. Roy, I think I agree with you. Bad news, does it? Darrell, hijack the plane. He bit my finger. Son of a bitch went straight to the cockpit.

Now we all migrating South for the winter. You betrayed me, Darrell. I share my presents with you. I gotta text somebody I love, oh, oh, Tanya, I love you, and thank you for choosing me over the white boy. Wait, wait, is that my tanya? Is that right? Tanya, I'm still into it. I'm still over, Tanya. Okay. All right, guys. Lay up Cas Roy. Roy Dulce and Jordan, everybody. Oh, my God. When we come back, we'll find out what not to the Daily Show. Let's talk about wellness.

It's a 1.5 trillion dollar industry and I'm obsessed. I've tried it all. I drink mushroom coffee. Let's talk about wellness. It's a $1.5 trillion industry and I'm obsessed. I've tried it all. I drink mushroom coffee. I've done ice'm obsessed. I've tried it all. I drink mushroom coffee, I've done ice baths, I've tried meditation apps, I gave my meditation app an ice bath.

I don't know if it worked because my phone won't turn on, but like a ski trip with Gwenith Paltrow, wellness has a dark side. And that is what I want to talk about in tonight's installment of Long Story Short. Now you might think that the term wellness started in the 90s back when white women invented yoga. But it's actually been around for at least a century and until very recently there's been zero government regulation to make sure that wellness products are legit. A company could claim that their panda semen protein powder will give you that glow, but they don't have to show receipts so it's no surprise

that they sell a lot of snake oil. The US Preventive Services Task Force reviewed 84 studies involving hundreds of thousands of people over 30 years. The task force concluded there was little or no benefit in using vitamin and mineral supplements to prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, and death. There is a new study that found some of those melatoning gummies that are so popular actually contain way more of the hormone than they advertise. Wellness influencers promoting products like colloidal silver drops they say can combat where there is infection.

Non-prescription products that contain colloidal silver are not recognized and safe. There's a lot of buzz around teetoxes. But dietitians and doctors will tell you, detoxing is a myth. There is one ingredient, though, that takes some teetoxes to another level. It's called Senna leaf, and thing is, Senna can also cause stomach problems, cramps, and diarrhea. After using Senna for a while, you might not be able to poop without it.

That's right. If you take some of these products, you might be as full of shit as the influencers who sell them. Look, I get why people want to believe this stuff works. But if just drinking tea was the key to looking snatched, the British royal family would look a lot different. Look, the truth is you don't have to spend a single dollar to try a bullshit wellness trend. Just go on social media and you'll find plenty of ways to jeopardize your health for free.

Advocates of the saltwater flush claim chugging water mixed with two tables. to clean out your colon. But experts are issuing stern warnings. Dangerous as f-fuck. It's literally napon for your bowels. It's the latest viral health trend with nearly 40 million views on Tick-Tock. The claim that putting tape on your mouth at night can help you get better sleep. It's a trend that has some medical experts sounding the alarm.

You're risking things like cardiac arrest. It can induce seizures. There's a lot of risks to it. Doctors are warning against a viral wellness trend called perineum sunning. They say it's not worth the risk of sun damage or even skin cancer. Just a general rule, never try a trend that seems like it was invented by the guy next door with binoculars. And please, please do not try trend that seems like it was invented by the guy next door with binoculars. Please, please do not try that at home. If you want to see a sunburned asshole, just watch the next presidential campaign.

That's the last we'll see him, nailed his ass. But maybe the darkest side of see a hem, nailed his ass. But maybe the darkest side of wellness is that too often it's not even about wellness. It's about targeting women's insecurities. Whether it's eliminating your wrinkles, flattening your abs, or the industry's favorite targets are extremely disappointing vaginas. Apparently, it needs a full reno down there. Talking detox pearls to stay clean,

vaginal eggs to tighten its core, and of course gummies to improve its taste. Because it's not enough that your vagina can regulate its own pH and be a pleasure center and deliver a baby. It also needs to taste so good it gets a Michelin star. We don't need any of this. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ. It's not like you need a tiny rumba in there, getting all those hard-to-reach corners. In fact, if your vagina has corners, please go see a doctor. But the fact is, the reason the wellness industry is making so much money off women in the first place is because of

doctors. The American health care industry is constantly failing women, whether it's doctors dismissing their symptoms or telling them that their pain isn't as bad as they're claiming, or prescribing them less medicine than men for the same issues. And keep in mind, this is all even worse for women of color. And it's happening as the courts and states are rapidly eroding women's access to reproductive health care. And all of this is stressing me out so much I could really use a pan to see a smoothie in smoothie and sm sm sm sm sm sm sm.

out so much I could really use a pan to see a smoothing and smoothie. So it's no wonder that women turn to wellness despite all its faults because what's more ridiculous, a health care system that denies women treatment and tells them that their pains all in their head, or this? So, long story short. Until American health care takes women's concerns seriously, we're going to continue to be targets for alternative solutions. So the next time a wellness brand tries to sell you a product, here's some advice. Pretend like you're a doctor listening to a female patient.

Don't take their word for it. Stay tuned, because when we come back, Sophia Bush will be joining me on the show, Don't call it. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is an actor and activist who will be starring in London's popular West End production, 222 A Ghost Story, beginning May 14th. Please welcome Sophia Bush. Thank you. Wow. This is so nice. Yeah, feels good, right? Power at it.

Just ladies running the daily show. That's it. I'm very into this. All female guests this week. That's what we got. Yeah, it's great to see. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. Hi everybody. You've been busy on many things, but one them is is your very popular podcast drama Queens yes which is basically a re-watch podcast of One Tree Hill right? Yeah yeah we realized that the nine years of that show that we made were sort of a blur and people at these lovely events always ask us oh you remember when

and we were like, no. We don't, I'm so sorry, I don't remember. And our sort of COVID project was launching this podcast and it's actually been really special to relive it. And every so often we're all just sitting on Zoom sobbing and we're like, we get it. It's really good. This is super emotional. Very therapeutic I would imagine because when you

started that show you were really young, you were like 20 years old. I had just turned 21. Hillary Burton and I actually, our birthdays are one week apart. We had both just shredded our fake IDs. I'm so sorry mom. And we were like, we can get into bars now. We are so grown up. Turns out at 21 you are still absolutely a child. And it's really weird to look back and see. Well, yeah, there are so many documentaries that have come out recently about women entering the entertainment industry at that time

in the early 2000s, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, and hearing their side of the story. What was that like going into the industry?? the industry? the industry? their side of the story, what was that like going into the industry that young? You know that famous adage it was the best of times and the worst of times it was that. You know it's it's so special to go and do what you love and and to get to do art for a living and we worked for a total pig and that was awful and so it was very confusing I mean I'm like women are laughing I'm like you know what I'm

talking about oh yeah I love my job but I also really hated here oh oh no I don't know any pigs at this job I love this job we'd love this job I love it so this is different this is different this is different this truly is different and you know when it is I worked on this th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi the the the the the the thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the th is th is th is th is th is is th is th is th th is th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to toooooooe to to toe to the thi thi thi thi thi the the the truly is different. It is, and you know when it is, I worked on this amazing show in Toronto last year that was different. And you know, when I look at sort of what's on my resume, almost everything has been amazing. It just sucks when the things that you've done the longest have been sort of toxic and awful. Yeah. But how amazing that you talk about it with your castmates because having those conversations, and I want want the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the and I'm theat theat the. the. this this, and I this, and I this, and I this, and I thi, this, thi, this, this, this, the, this, the, the, this, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the is thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, theeee with your castmates, because having those conversations,

and I want to believe that things are different now, women still struggle with these things, but by you talking about it, it makes other women not feel alone. That's been the really special part of it. And when people ask women, like, why are you so obsessed with this? Why were you never paying attention? Why when we were all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all thua thua thia thua thia thi thi thi thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi. to, to? too? toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom? tooom? for help? Did you go like, it's not that bad, you're lucky?

That's weird. But, you know, I think for us, it's been really, the unexpected side effect of this podcast job, is that it's been really healing, and it's been really empowering. And what's been really beautiful is the sort of connections that we've been making with listeners, with other women in our industry, with women who were directing on our show back then, who listened to an episode, reach out and say, that was totally going on.

I heard that, or I was told this. It's been really affirming. And so, I don't really care who's mad about it. We're here to heal. And we are very much reclaiming our territory. Good. It feels nice. So much of what you do is you do so much activism.

You are extremely vocal about issues that you care about, gun reform, voting rights, women's reproductive health. You were just honored yesterday by the National Institution of Reproductive Health for your work. How does it feel? It was wild. It was so wild and they gave me this like big gorgeous heavy award and I was like wonderful I can leave here and feel very special and also have a weapon just in case because that is being a woman in the world. You know, I was like I don't have to carry my keys today. I got this. Jokes aside though it was it was very

special and I think having a platform is a privilege and I don't expect anybody to do what I do or believe what I believe necessarily, but I do think for me, knowing that this is a megaphone means that what I've been privileged enough to have access to, you know, study education, the words of women like Gloria Steinem and Brittany Cunningham and my friends who run the media are like I get to listen to incredible leaders and to amplify those voices and to talk about equity whether it's in reproductive justice or justice for women of color or black maternal mortality rates or gun reform because gun violence touches all of us. That's my work.

And, you know, in the same way that we as women need men to talk about sexual violence, because it can't just be us. We're like, please help us. Talk to each other. My God. Like, it's the same way that I feel about as women, when we look at the diversity within you know our gender group and then we look outward at how we need to stand up for our trans friends and folks like you know all of the beautiful black women I see in

this audience like racial justice among in feminism can't be your job like that's our job women who look like us are the problem so so for me what has been you know a that's the to tha, you know that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their tho. their their the problem. So for me, what has been, you know, a privilege and an awakening and hard and inspiring, has been getting really fired up about an injustice and then starting to pull the thread and going, oh my god, it's all connected. It's systemic everywhere. We have work to do, but I do think we can do it together. Organizations like the NIRH are doing incredible work. They're proactive for us and our freedoms and our rights.

And it's those sorts of groups, and obviously this group, because y'all are fabulous that I want to hang out with. You're about to start a play in London called 222 A Ghost Story. Did I get that right? 222, a ghost story. Are you excited to go work in a country where they have access to health care for women? That might be nice. I realized it was, it was a really big deal when I had to apply for my work visa and they were like, have you ever tried to sneak into the United Kingdom to access health care?

And I was like, oh yeah, we have to do that I guess. That's weird. No. But while I'm doing this job, can I go to the doctor? That would be so cool. Tell us what the play is about. It's a supernatural story, right? It involves ghosts? It is. So I don't want to give it away,

but the thing we all loved about friends was watching a group of people in an apartment hang out, right? So imagine it's four instead of six friends. And when their dinner party gets like a little bit lit, people start up a conversation essentially of who does and doesn't believe in ghosts and suddenly we're talking about belief and faith and upbringing and education and what's bigger than us and it's very spicy. Oh that's fun. Yeah I love a good ghost story. To do research for

this role did you just go visit the Senate? You know, I should have. Yeah. I should have. Yeah, I should have. Is this the first time you're doing theater? It is. The West End will be my stage debut unless you count our town in the eighth grade? Oh, hey, same same same. You're going to be brilliant. I can't thaaaaa' thiiiiiiiiiiiii, I tho tho tho thi, I'm tho thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, the their, their, the the the the to to to to to to the to the the to the the the to the their, to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. too. too. too, too, too, too're gonna be brilliant. I can't wait to see you in this.

I'm really excited and completely terrified. And then I have these moments where I'm like, okay, we're doing eight shows a week in front of people. What if someone has a bad day? Like what? I don't know. And then it was actually one of my girlfriends from the podcast. Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. H Hillary. to. to. to. tholory. tholory. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the th. they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, the, the, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the, they, they, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, they. they. they. they. they, they, they, Hillary said, dude, when you do a TV show, you're on set for like 14 to 17 hours a day. This will literally be the least amount of hours you've ever worked in a week.

And I'm like, oh, yeah, okay. Yes. Oh, right. Maybe I can read more books or something. Yeah. It's a great kick. Plus you're with an audience. Well, they're lovely. Yeah. You once said that you

weren't interested in a in working in politics back in 2013 you said this but you said Ask Me in 10 years so what's up? What do you think? Well, so interesting. So many people for the last number of years have said to me, like, please run. And then Nancy Pelosi is, what a weird thing I'm about to say to you. Nancy Pelosi said to me one day, like, it'll all be better when you're president. I bet you say that to all the girls, but thank you so much. That is an endorsement. It was so deeply flattering. And then I went, I guess, well, well, well, well, well, I tho, well, well, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I thi. thi, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I thi, I guess, I guess, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. the. the. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. th.

But I think as I've as I've learned so much over the last 10 years I don't know what it's going to look like I don't know where I'm supposed to go yet because I want to do what is the most useful and I think a lot of people whether they want to run for office or run a company do it because they want to center themselves in the most useful. And I think a lot of people, whether they want to run for office or run a company, do it because they want to center themselves in

the experience. If I could be most useful serving an elected office, great. If I can be most useful, raising money for incredible C-4 candidates across the country and making sure we flip state houses so we're not, you know, thrown back to the dark ages, into it.
