The Interviews | Danielle Brooks, Colin Kaepernick, Giri Nathan
from The Daily Show: Ears Edition Hosted by Comedy Central
Check out all of this week's great guests in one place. Danielle Brooks joins Josh Johnson to talk about her new film, “If I Go Will They Miss Me,” where she plays Lozita, a mother caught between a son who worships his father like a God and a dad who can’t see himself that way. Brooks talks about shooting on-location in Watts, honoring the real woman her character is inspired by, and what motherhood has taught her about the roles she takes. Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and bestselling author Colin Kaepernick joins Josh Johnson to discuss his new memoir, "The Perilous Fight." They reflect on the 10-year anniversary of Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, the idea that activism doesn't need to be earned, it's required for society to work, and a reframing of risk assessment in activism that asks, "What do we risk if we don't take action?" Defector Media staff writer & cofounder and bestselling author, Giri Nathan, sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his book “Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men's Tennis," about the rise and rivalry of pro tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The two tennis superfans review this year’s U.S. Open, discussing Honey Deuce towers, influencer drama, and both the men’s and women’s finals. Plus, how the USTA can grow tennis fandom while preserving the sport’s spectacle and tradition. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
