The Daily Show: Ears Edition

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.

Much like his apps, Mark Zuckerberg has gotten a lot of updates over the years. 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.

Elmo lights up the internet by staying neutral about the Knicks-Spurs Finals, Trump storms out of his "Meet the Press" interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, and all the president's lashing out against the press, avoiding rain, and dodging questions has Jon Stewart wondering: Why does the media let Trump's bulls**t slide?

Jane Fonda sits down with Jon and reflects on following in the acting and activism footsteps of her father, who was a member of the original Committee for the First Amendment in 1947. 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. They talk about how music and the entertainment industry have always been part of resistance movements and what she’s learned about organizing to make change happen. “We have to become living ambassadors to an irresistible future where everybody will be seen and respected by their government, where everybody feels they’re being taken care of.”
