  Mitch McConnell Returns & Trump Dismisses AI Doomsday Warnings | Danielle Brooks 16.09.2026 34min

  Mitch McConnell dispels rumors about his death just in time for Anthropic insiders to announce that AI could kill us all in as little as six months. Thumbs up, Mitch! Josh Johnson dives into the headlines, including Trump’s answer to the urgent threat of AI: Everything will be fine as long as we have a “high IQ president." Which might be a problem. Can solar geoengineering cool the planet? Michael Kosta sits down with Make Sunsets founder Luke Iseman, who's taking the fight to climate change with the power of sulphur-filled balloons. But will Iseman's approach really deflate the climate crisis, or is he just high on his own supply? With the help of climate experts Shuchi Talati and David Keith, Kosta stops at nothing to get to the bottom of this, even if it means channeling his inner Walter White. 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. -- Dose - New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

  This Week's Interviews | Gov. Spencer Cox, Jia Tolentino, Andrew Garfield 13.09.2026 59min

  Check out all of this week's great guests. Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it. Gov. Cox believes genuine, good-faith debate is the only way out of America’s polarization crisis and explains how Utah’s handling of religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights shows that opposing sides can find common ground. Jon debates the governor over whether the solution to America’s polarization starts with individuals talking to each other or with the system itself changing first. Michael Kosta sits down with best-selling author and New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino to chat about her latest piece, "Our Plastic-Surgery Nightmare.” The two discuss “Instagram face,” a term Tolentino coined in 2019, and how social media algorithms, AI, and big tech are tainting our perception of beauty. Tony Award-winning and Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his new film, “The Uprising.” They talk about how the peasant uprising of 1381 serves as a “long-distance mirror” to the political landscape of today, how acting serves as an empathy machine even when playing characters like Sam Altman, and what young men can learn from Carlos Alcaraz’s elegant U.S. Open loss. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

  Trump Bribes Americans with $5K "Dividends" & GOP Gets Weird at Midterm Convention | Andrew Garfield 11.09.2026 41min

  Trump’s Republican Midterm Convention flops with low turnout, empty promises, and GOP behavior that is just straight up weird (we’re looking at you, Tim Scott). Michael Kosta dives into the highlights, including Trump’s pledge to give out $5,000 "dividends" if the GOP wins the House and Senate, the president's unhelpful roast of Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, and an onstage gavel that is just… too big. Plus, Desi Lydic hypes up the convention to Kosta, and even throws in some hand stuff.   Troy Iwata rounds up the latest international headlines that prove America isn't the only country with problems: British kids line up for a Titanic-themed slide, an Italian man gets busted for peddling a fake ancient theater, and Hitler's birthplace finds new life as a police station, in another edition of So Not Our Problem!

  GOP RSVP's "No" to Trump Convention & Push to Ban Mamdani from 9/11 Ceremony | Jia Tolentino 10.09.2026 47min

  Michael Kosta dives into the Trump-headlined Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas and the growing list of GOP candidates making excuses not to attend. Plus, J.D. Vance “celebrates” the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and Jordan Klepper weighs in on Mayor Mamdani’s commemorations, including his symbolic (and HIGHLY suspicious) pen antics. Josh Johnson takes a deep dive into the bizarre story of Daejon Love, a man arrested for allegedly scamming women out of $1.3 million by posing as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. Josh marvels at the lengths Love went to maintain his fake NFL persona, from sharing sloppy "training" videos to conspicuously carrying his helmet at the beach, and proposes a novel punishment that fits the crime.

  Jon on Trump's Meme Assault on Canada & the Alternate Reality He's Constructed | Gov. Spencer Cox 09.09.2026 53min

  Trump’s delusions have him amping up his trade war with Canada, renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," denying rising food and gas prices in the U.S., and winning the Iran War again and again. But as the president’s poll numbers sink, loyal acolytes like “human printer” Natalie Harp glaze him into a comforting alternate reality, and Jon Stewart wants in. Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it.
