Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news. This is the Daily Show with your go by the name of Charlotte Main the God. Hello. Hello. Shalman the God. Hello.
Starting point is 00:00:31 That's right. Hey, woom. to show. I go by the name of Shaolomeen the God. Hello. That's right. Now, we have an OK show for you tonight. Pretty mid.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Most late night hosts will say, they have a great show, but I'd rather tell you the truth. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. We've got a great show for you tonight. Our do we? Let's get into the headlines. Let's begin with the man you all know in love, Donald Trump. Oh yeah, I think you heard some of y'all booing. Maybe if you boo hard enough, he'll drop out of the race.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Come on, come on. Yeah, that'll do it. I know you don't want to talk about the man, but we have to because the presidential race is about to kick in the high gear. So let's check in on the latest of our ongoing coverage of Democracy 2024. All right, let's get right to the good news. Donald Trump is definitely not going to be president again. The bad news is because he's going to be dictator. New warnings that Donald Trump's re-election would pose a great threat to American democracy with Republican Liz Cheney sounding the alarm about a potential dictatorship.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Do you believe if Donald Trump were elected next year that he would try to stay in office beyond a second term? He would never leave office? There's no question. Quite a warning from former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney. She is not alone. From the New York Times, why a second truc-trip-triple than the first? And this from The Guardian, a a second Trump term, will be far more autocratic than the first. The special issue of the Atlantic magazine today lays at a detailed, compelling case about specifically what could happen if Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office. Two dozen essays by Atlantic writers outline how the threats to democracy will be bigger than ever
Starting point is 00:02:40 before potentially changing America forever. All right, that sounds bad, but don't forget, don't forget, we still have Joe Biden standing between him and the White House. Yeah, so it's actually even worse. Look, it would be absolute insanity to send Donald Trump back to the Ova office. Who would hire a guy they already fired once? Hey, I know we let go with John because he dipped his penis in the pancake batter. But now that he hates all of us
Starting point is 00:03:10 and made a hit list, I say we bring them back. And Donald Trump is worse than penis pancakes y'all. Because I agree with Liz Cheney. If Trump becomes president, he's never, and I mean never leaving office again, all right? If you were facing that many charges, you'd barricade yourself in the White House, too. I don't even think Trump wants to be president. He just likes the immunity. If being a host of Let's Make a Deal
Starting point is 00:03:36 meant you couldn't go to prison, he'd be campaigning for that too. That's right. That's right. And by the way, people aren't just guessing. Trump's out there saying what he's going to do. He said he'll sit the military on protesters. Open interment camps for illegal immigrants and shut down media outlets that criticize him. And you know he will. Because the last time he was president, he reportedly tried to get the Justice Department
Starting point is 00:04:04 to investigate Saturday night live for making fun of him. This dude was really going to send David S. Pumpkins to Guantanamo. And I know we're all blaming Republicans for a potential Trump comeback, but it's not all on them. It's on Democrats, too. Every single election, they say the Republican nominee is going to destroy America. They said it about Mitt Romney. atromney.
Starting point is 00:04:33 At this point, Romney's just a reusable grocery bag away from being a Democrat. Even now, if Nikki Haley won the nomination, Democrats would say, she's going to end democracy, too. too. too. too. too. tra, tra, tra, tra, tra, tra, tra, tra, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to, to. to. to. to. to, to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the too, the the too, t the t t tthe the too too too too too too too too too too too too, is too, too, Haley won the nomination, Democrats would say, she's going to end democracy too. The problem is, Trump actually will. But people are tuning it out. Because Democrats have been crying fascist for so long. Honestly, liberals, there's only one way for you to stop Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Reverse psychology. Yeah, act like you like him. Okay? All the MAGA people care about is owning the libs. So just embrace Trump. Then they'll reject him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen. I want you all to endorse him at Drag Queen Story Hour. Yeah. Manuel Miranda to write a hip-hop musical about him. Better yet, better yet, let's hold a Black Lives Maga Rally. Yeah. Yeah. Now let's move on from a criminal trying to get back in the government to a criminal who's moving out of government. George Santos was expelled from Congress on Friday.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah. I had no idea George Santos had a fan club. But he's already found a new way to stay in our hearts and social media feeds forever. Former Congressman George Santos has found his new calling. Freshly expelled from Congress, Santos is now on cameo. People can buy personalized messages from Santos for $200 each. George Santos here, wishing you the happiest of holidays.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Joe and Julie would like you to please spend some money on yourselves from the gift this year. It could be anything from Botox to luxury goods of any kind, like a trip to her meds or makeup from Sophora or a subscription to only fans. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's good. He'so, he's good at public speaking, he's relatable, he has a personal touch, you know what?
Starting point is 00:06:46 He should run for Congress. But yeah, it makes sense that George Santos is a star on cameo, and knowing his history of lying, he's probably also a cardiologist on tele doc too. And look, I got no problem with Santos being on cameo. The man is a hustler. And that's what he does. What I do have a problem with is all the people paying him for cameos. Like, come on, America. You wonder why everyone in government is behaving so badly. It's because we're rewarding bad behavior.
Starting point is 00:07:16 All right? Come on, man. This dude gets kicked out of Congress for stealing credit cards. And now we giving him our credit cards to make videos about how he stole credit cards. I won't knock his hustle. Good luck to you, George Santos, but he'd better do these cameos now because they're going to be way less charming when the background is his cellmate taking a shit. Finally, let's move on in some science news. If you're worried that you might be getting too old to have kids, don't worry, you're not.
Starting point is 00:07:52 A 70-year-old woman in Uganda accomplished something few women her age have ever done. She gave birth to a set of twins. Safina Namaquiet delivered her two bundles of joy by a C-section after successful IVF treatments. The twin boy and girl were born premature and placed in incubators, but they are in stable condition. Wow! Science is amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:14 First, doctors are able to create a golden bachelor, and now this. Modern medicine is incredible. For more on this miracle birth, let's go live now to Desilightic. Desi Lydic. Desi, what an incredible triumph of science. Uh, Charlemagne, this is the worst thing that's happened to women since Chet Hanks downloaded Tinder. You know what triumph of science I'd like to see? Let's take all the doctors responsible for this and launch them directly into the sun.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Why so harsh, Desi? I think it's amazing that a woman could give birth at age 70? Well, I think it's terrifying to get pregnant at 70. I don't want to be changing diapers when I'm in diapers. And I can't believe a woman of her age had to carry twins. My mom broke her hip carrying a yogurt. And then to endure a C-section, I mean, you'd think at 70, the babies would just fall right out. Keep doing those kegels, ladies. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I think there's something kind of nice about having babies so late in life. You can share the same nap schedule, you can eat the same mushy food, just like... But you're forgetting something very unfortunate about babies. They turn into children. You can't play tag with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their k k k k kagels those kogogels kogels kogels kogels kogels kaggs.

Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps. Keeps the the about babies. They turn into children. You can't play tag with a walker. Not to mention all the young moms at the playground being like, oh your grandkids are so cute. They're not my grandkids you judgey twot. Enjoy your Frappuccino while your tits are still higher than your blood pressure. Okay Desi I hear you. All right this isn't for
Starting point is 00:10:05 everyone but what about women who aren't ready to have kids yet? Shouldn't they have all the time they want? No. No, old age should not be for parenthood. It should be for getting gonorrhea at the Rolling Stones reunion tour. I get your point, Desi, I get your point. But still, there's got to be one good thing about having a baby at 70. Well, I mean, I guess you could say that there's one bright spot. The worst part of having kids is raising teenagers. But if you have him at 70, then you probably don't have to worry about that. Good point.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Desi Laird. Everybody. When we come back, Louis Black will recap the year to the daily show. Now when the news story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Now when the news story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it. For a segment we call Back in Black. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Now, when the news story falls through the cracks,
Starting point is 00:11:25 Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black. Well, it's December, which means two things. One, it's almost the end of the year, and two, I made it through no-nut November. And to think my second grade teacher said I'd never amount to the year. And to think my second grade teacher said, th, th, th, th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, 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, thin, thin, the the the thean, the the the the toean, the the the the toean, the the the the the thean, theeeeeean, two I made it through no-nut November and to think my second grade teacher said I'd never amount to anything. Naturally December is the perfect time to look back at the things we're grateful for in 2023. Yeah that's right. Me! Grateful! Everyone assumes I'm a miserable Grinch, but I can be happy. Here, just look at this smile. Ow. Why do people do this? And if you think the 2023 sucked, I have a
Starting point is 00:12:18 little secret for you. You suck. You people have no idea how good we had it this year. For starters, this was the first year since the pandemic, that things felt almost normal. Remember the height of COVID, we couldn't do shit. You could die just from going to a party, and not in the fun way, from tainted cocaine. But this year everything was back. Schools, concerts, sports, theater. Live theater is so back, this happened. Republican Congresswoman Lauren Bobert of Colorado. She was recently kicked out of a performance of Beetlejuice, the musical,
Starting point is 00:13:00 for vaping and engaging in some R-rated groping with her date. Yeah, Lauren Boveart was caught jacking off a guy during Beetlejuice the musical. And you thought it was distracting when people unwrapped hard candy. If you're going to behave that way during a musical, at least do it during Les Miz. Talk about a play that needs a happy ending. And think about all the scientific advancements this year. They didn't always make us healthier, but they did make us hotter. There's growing controversy nationwide.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It's over people using a diabetes drug for weight loss. Ozemic is a drug that was developed to treat diabetes, but in recent months demand for the drug has soared because one of its side effects is weight loss. I love OZempic. Or your favorite celebrity calls it, oh I've just been drinking a lot of water. Seriously this drug is a godsend for anyone who likes losing weight and stealing medicine from diabetics. Just try and catch me, you one-footed bastard. And let's not forget, the 2023 also saw a major milestone in pop culture. Marvel Studios just clocked its worst movie debut ever with the release of the Marvels.
Starting point is 00:14:30 With that, Disney CEO Bob Eiger is said to be shifting his attention, turning his focus on making a few good films rather than many that aren't high quality. Ooh. Making good films! Now there's a concept. So that's why this guy gets paid $50 billion a year. But I think Disney is a great company. And I'm not just saying that as the star of Inside Out. I'm saying it as the star of Inside Out too.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And let me assure you they didn't pay me shit. At long last people have finally stopped watching Marvel movies and thank God my favorite part of any Marvel movie is the four times I leave to pee. Listen if I'm spending that long in the theater, I better be sitting next to Lauren Boebert. But, but the best pop culture trend in 2023, Kanye West. This was the first year in ages that he finally shut the fuck up. No, no tweets, no rants, no threats, no threats, no threats, no threats, no threats. no the the their. Tre. Tre. Tre. T. T. T. T. T. This th. This th. This th. This th. This was th. This was shut the fuck up. No tweets, no rants, no threats, no threats, huh? I'm just glad he finally left the anti-Semitism to literally everybody else. As if this wasn't all enough to be grateful for, this year was also the beginning
Starting point is 00:16:03 of the end for one of humanity's worst inventions. Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, is bleeding major brands who are at least temporarily pulling their advertising. Some ads for major brands appeared next to neo-Nazi hate speech on X. Ad revenue for X had already declined by 54% this year. Musk himself acknowledges a new advertiser boycott could bankrupt the company. Yes, Elon Musk did us all a favor and killed Twitter. For he's a jolly good weirdo, for he's a jolly good weirdo, for he's a jolly good weirdo, can't wait till he dies on Mars. Wow! Wow, I'm really a good singer.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Of course, 2023 was also special for us at the Daily Show, where we did a whole year of guest host, one week at a time, which was great for me, because I never had to bother learning a host name. Except for you, my main man. which was great for me because I never had to bother learning a host name. Except for you, my main man. Great to see again, pal. Look, next year is going to be awful. As bad as you think 2024 will be, it's going to be worse than that. So take a moment to appreciate the good things. And remembers, smiling is free.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Back to you, Chief. Hey, thank you, Lewis Black, everyone. When we come back, Robin Thie will be joining me on the show, so don't go anywhere. Oh, there you go. There you go. There you go. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the creator and star of the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:18:07 My guest tonight is the creator and star of the Emmy winning HBO series, a Black Lady Sketch Show. She can currently be seen in the new prime video film, Candy Kane Lane. Please welcome Robin T. How are you, how old are you, how long you, huh? Hi, just. Yes. Yes.

I never thought I would be three inches tall, but the benefit is I had like a two-inch waist. Okay. So that was fun. Did you get those heels from Ron DeSantis? So, yeah, baby, I don't want to know what's in his club. Probably Lindsay Graham. But listen, now, no, no, this movie seems pretty fantastical. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Now, the elves and magic and black Santa Yeah But now that's facts the villain is a white woman. Yes So is it fiction or not? Yeah Yeah Oh my god, who knows right? It is funny to imagine a black Santa too. That's what's so exciting right because you know, I grew up with the with the typical white Santa and all the in all the books and everything? Oh, yeah, the?

That's what's so exciting, right? Because, you know, I grew up with the typical white Santa and all the books and everything. So, yeah. But I think now, you know, I think the world's ready
Starting point is 00:19:32 for a black Santa, especially David Allen Greer. Why not? You know, do you think the world is ready to tell kids that Santa isn't real? You think that's inappropriate? Mm. You know, when I was growing up, so my parents definitely wanted me to believe in Santa, but my aunt was like, you know Santa ain't real. And I was like, six, you know? And like, as a witness? No, but my babysitter was and she told us we was going to hell because we were, you not Joe was witnesses. Which I was like that don't feel like a tenant of your religion but but so my aunt told us and like
Starting point is 00:20:08 as an adult I was like now my aunt was sleeping with somebody other than my uncle so I feel like if she told me Santa wasn't real I should told my uncle your wife ain't real. But it's too late. Also that's a complete lie she wasn't cheating on him but I thought that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th th th th th th th th that. Also, that's a complete lie. She wasn't cheating on him, but I thought that would be funny. Um, I think. It was about to be a rough Christmas dinner for you. My aunt is literally like, how dare you. They never cheated.
Starting point is 00:20:39 They should, you know, I don't know. Here's a thing. Marriage is a sham, and I think everyone should cheat. No, I'm just, I th you th you thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi, 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's that's th. that's that's that's th. that's thi. that's that's thi. th. thi a thing. Marriage is a sham, and I think everyone should cheat. No, I'm just kidding. You're clearly in the lion's spirit today. I don't know what's happening. Why do you think Jesus doesn't headline his own birthday, though? It's like Santa. Santa, the Grinch, they get more attention.
Starting point is 00:20:55 That's a good point. Jesus didn't have good marketing. Exactly. And his friends were thied thied thied thired thired thired thired thired thired thired thired thired. thired. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to tooes. tooes. tooes. too. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. too. too. too. too. the the the 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 thean. tooooomo. too. either trying to be him or betray him, so. That's very true. Jesus got out early, like Tupac. You know, he was just like, he was like, I'm good. You know? Yeah, Bill Mard, or die young, Bill Maw. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I mean, if Jesus would have been like top five, Jesus, yeah. Two Black, Jay-Z, you know? For most of the movie, you play a Christmas figurine. I do. And Eddie Murphy is basically, he had an earpiece to hear what you were saying. Yes. That seems like a lot of pressure. Well, it seems annoying.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Do you want this in your ear? It was funny because the first day, we thought the ear. So we would th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to, to to to to to to the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they...... they. they. they. they. they. they.... We, they.. We, they. We, they. We, the, the, the, to, the, to, know we thought their ear so we would go rehearse on set as live people because Eddie and Tracy really trace Alice Ross is incredible in the movie too. Absolutely. Yeah so funny they wanted me Nick Offerman and Chris Red who played all the figurines to be there in person, improvised together, get the feeling of it. Then we would go to these sound boots and they would hear us on the mic in their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. So. So. So. So. So. So, their. So, their, their, th. So, tr. tr. tr. So, their, Tracy, tr. try, try, tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. It, tr. It, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. Tr. So, tr. Tr. Tr. Tr. So, tr. Tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, tr. So, t. So, t. So, t. So, t. t. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. try. trace. trace. trace. So, trace. So, trace. So, true. So, true. So, then we would go to these soundboots and they would hear us on the mic in their ears. And we thought they only heard us when they were rolling. But at the end of the day, Tracy, Tracy just goes, you know we can hear everything you're saying, right? We were having debates about Drake albums, like we were just like being so annoying while they were
Starting point is 00:22:18 trying to work. And they didn't tell us, they, they, they, to, to, to,. How many times did like shoot and get delayed because you guys were busy making everybody laugh and all the time every day every day every day and the cool thing was director Reggie Huddlin had us on set for scenes that we weren't even we didn't know if we would be in because they would animate us kind of after all the end of the live action stuff so so we were there for months. And so we got to hang out with them and, and you know, just go crazy. And Eddie lights up, as does Tracy, when we go off script, especially me and Chris Red.
Starting point is 00:22:53 We were always trying to make them break, so we never made it break, but he definitely made us. Why does he like that? Because he tel you how Eddie knows everyone's lines. Okay. He is a professional. This man has done 50 movies, okay? This is like easy for him. But no, I think he just loves that spirit. I think there's so many comedians in the movie. DC Youngfly, Angela Johnson, all these great people. So I think he just wanted that spirit. Yeah. Now the last season of a black lady sketch show. Ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed ed. Ed. the 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. 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 to th. to th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. the. the. the. the. th black lady sketch show, aired this past spring. That's right, let's come out to that. The fact that the show was even allowed to exist is a huge accomplishment.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Listen, you ain't lying. That's right, let alone the fact that you picked up a lot of awards for it. Yeah. It's inspiring an entirely new generation of black women. What sketch from the show are I play a man. No, I don't know. I think one person is like, I saw it. I don't know, what am I most proud of? You know what? I think courtroom kiki, which is like the black lady courtroom. Okay, somebody doing it? Okay. Yeah, I think that's fun because it's like it just shows like black sisterhood in a really fun way that I think we don't get to experience very often.
Starting point is 00:24:05 So people always tag me on social media when they have like two black ladies at any one place and they're like, black lady dentists. And I'm like, stop clapping, get your teeth fixed. Yeah, so I think that's dope and it, it kind of lives beyond the show.

And a lot of trust from HBO because I'm sure they were like, what do we make
Starting point is 00:24:45 it? But, you know, having Easter Ray as an EP doesn't hurt? That's right. That's right. That's right. Did you feel fulfilled? Like, did you feel like you got everything you needed to out of that show? Yeah. I think, you know, for me, You know what I mean? Like I wanna like leave the legacy there. And like, first of all, he was great at baseball. No shade to Jordan. He's Michael Jordan. He's Michael Jordan. But I mean, he was better at basketball, right?
Starting point is 00:25:13 I mean, that's the thing that he spent his life doing. So I just didn't want to young, I think, yeah, so I feel good about it. But I'm always going to be a little sad. And I still think of sketches wherever I go, which is the problem. But you know, I never say never, you never know what can happen in the future. It feels like, well, it's not, it feels like it did.
Starting point is 00:25:39 check off a lot of boxes. The show did black.

It was black. It was black. It was black. It was black, it was women. It feels like slightly Hollywood may not be on the diversity push that it once was. Do you think that had anything to do with the show? You know, I'm coming back? No, no, no, not at all. I think most, if you ever notice, most shows really don't go past like three seasons anymore. I don't think the audiences really want to to to want that as much. I don't know. I think there's very few shows that moving forward in this kind of climate in the industry
Starting point is 00:26:08 are going to last like 20, 50, 80 seasons. I just think, you know, I think we're always looking for the new thing and no one wants to overstay their welcome. So I have such great partners at HBO and I'm still making shows with them. So they'll be 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 the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to be to be toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. te. te. te. te. toe. toe. toe. toe. to come. Absolutely. I always want to keep it for it. That's right. So we may not have the black lady sketch show but we still have Robin Theedy. Yes, that's right. I didn't die. I didn't die just because it shows over. That's right. That's right. Make the noise. We on, that's all. Yeah.
