    Trump Autopens the Iran Deal, Lands a Res at G7 Summit & Spawns an Algae Conspiracy | Britt Lower

    The president showed up at the G7 summit to get presents and show off his finally final peace agreement with Iran, while planning to ditch the signing ceremony in favor of a dinner at his ultimate Pinterest inspo, Versailles. Plus, Trump’s $14 million project to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is only reflecting back an algae-green mess, and MAGA supporters suspect sabotage. Former federal workers who lost their jobs to Elon Musk’s DOGE-ing spree are taking another stab at working for the government that humiliated them by running for Congress. Desi Lydic sits down with these scorned civil servants to figure out why they’d voluntarily return to government work after being subjected to Elon's job-killing chainsaw. Britt Lower sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss her new Netflix series, “I Will Find You,” which she stars in alongside Sam Worthington. She attributes her on-screen chemistry with Worthington to their shared birthday and breaks down how she prepared for the role as a boots-on-the-ground reporter, all the way down to filling her character’s bag with journalistic props like a 35mm camera, a handheld recorder, and a notebook. Lower also shares how improv taught her about presence, listening, and embracing failure in real time. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

They talk about Ebenezer’s long legacy of faith and justice, why he continues to return to the pulpit most Sundays, his “candid conversation” about faith with House Speaker Mike Johnson, how the acid test of faith authenticity is the depth of commitment to the most marginalized groups, and using his book to ask people of faith and moral courage: “Do our deeds match our creeds?” -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

    Trump Goes Ocean’s Eleven on Iran’s Oil & Knicks Put Off Winning to the Last Second | Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova

    Desi Lydic and all of New York celebrate the Knicks' historic comeback to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, while Trump prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday in style with an algae-filled reflecting pool, a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and a slew of medical specialists. The president also pats himself on the back for an Iran deal that hasn't happened yet and his sneaky not-secret plan to steal one day's worth of oil from Iran. In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York F**king Knicks! While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel s**ts for the rest of your life. Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova sit down with Desi Lydic to discuss their new Netflix documentary, “Chris & Martina: The Final Set.” They reflect on the fame, sacrifices, and loneliness they both experienced as teenagers while also helping put women’s tennis on the map, and how their fierce rivalry of nearly 20 years evolved into deep friendship and helping each other through their respective cancer diagnoses. Martina also opens up about leaving her family behind for four years after defecting from Czechoslovakia, and Chris explains why she found herself lying on a hotel floor in a depression after winning Wimbledon. Plus, Desi invites tennis superfan Michael Kosta to join the conversation. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Plus, Jordan Klepper gets on the Trump administration’s commemorative coin train to fix inflation, stop wars, and celebrate America’s 250th.

Actor and producer Nina Dobrev sits down with Desi to discuss starring in the crime thriller, “The Get Out.” They talk about the joy of playing a buttoned-up bank teller who’s totally unhinged, awkward make-out scenes with her co-star and longtime friend Aaron Paul, and channeling her wild side swimming with sharks, skydiving, and dirt biking. She also discusses the short film she stars in and produces, “General Admission,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, her production company’s mission to tell stories “for women, by women,” and her advice for women advocating for equal pay in the workplace. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

    Bad Luck Trump Ruins Knicks' Winning Streak & Spencer Pratt Loses L.A.'s Mayor Race | Laverne Cox

    The Knicks took an L in Game 3 of the NBA Finals while Trump took a nap, and the president turns a blind eye to another loss: Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race. Upset at the drawn-out ballot count and falling rank of his fellow reality TV star Republican, Trump pulls the "rigged election" card, but Troy Iwata insists that this is just the way things are done in L.A., so chill.

From boy genius-ish to king of the Metaverse to one of Trump's besties, the Zuck has worn many hats and generated tons of controversy along the way. Follow his shape-shifting journey from dorm-room entrepreneur to science fiction overlord in The Daily Showography of Mark Zuckerberg: Human Status Update. Award-winning actress and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox joins Desi to talk about her new memoir “Transcendent.” They discuss some of the traumatic events of her childhood that she recounts in the book, how dance and creativity were a saving grace in her life, and how she has worked to find healing, purpose, and self-love in her adulthood. Cox also brings awareness to the Right’s coordinated campaign against trans people, especially in the courts where rights are being stripped away from trans people in real time, and explains how these attacks weaken the rights of every citizen. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Now, 80 years later, Fonda is part of the committee's revival and discusses their upcoming “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” in NYC on June 14th, which will extend to over 5,000 livestream viewing parties around the country.
