Triumph the Insult Comic Dog goes to the People’s March to talk to protestors about ways they can mobilize against the Trump administration, from new logos to Jimmy Carter conspiracies to storming a nearby coffee shop.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz visited Mount Bental in the Golan Heights this morning (Sunday), an observation point towards the Syrian border. The head of the Golan Regional Council, Uri Kellner, also participated in the visit. Addressing the dramatic fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Netanyahu said, "This is a historic day in the history of the Middle East. The Assad regime that was a central link in Iran's axis of evil - this regime has fallen. This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, the main supporters...

Ronny Chieng, star of Crazy Rich Asians and correspondent for The Daily Show, called Trump voters 'f***ing morons' during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday. 'There's nothing inherently evil or bad about [a] conservative mindset, I just think that we would like to have conservatives who aren't f***ing morons,' Chieng told host Jimmy Kimmel, as Kimmel and the audience roared with laughter. However, X users slammed Chieng for his remarks X, with one user writing, 'Ronny Chieng needs to be canceled.. said everyone who voted for Trump was stupid.. I say all Trump voters boycott his shows.'

Comedy legend John Cleese had his microphone confiscated at the South by Southwest festival during a comedic discussion in which he suggested Italy and France owed historic reparations for enslaving Brits. The Monty Python icon, 82, was riffing with other comics in front of the crowd in Texas when he talked about the 'competition' between cultures over who has been more oppressed by colonisations throughout history. Pointing to world history being 'a history of crime', he added: 'It's a history of people who were stronger beating up people who were weaker and it's always been that. It's deeply, deeply distasteful....

Ya gotta feel bad for the South by Southwest folks. Just once a year, they want to get together to publicly examine their virtues, hold their shining intellects up for consideration and propose ways they can drag the rest of us mouth breathers up onto their enlightened plane. They want to talk about wind farms and vegan bologna and the “Latina Power Pipeline.” Most years, it goes off without a hitch and they all jet home to fight for sustainable microbrews or more pansexual Nickelodeon characters. But this year, some knucklehead went and invited John Cleese to be on a...

Dr. Phil quickly figured out how open-border advocates deal with their critics. “You’re a racist” for wanting any semblance of immigration control. This week, Jon Stewart proved Dr. Phil right in the ugliest way possible. The “Daily Show” host brought up the porous U.S. southern border in a 10-minute screed brimming with misinformation, bias of omission and more. For all of Stewart’s comedy skills, he’s also a deeply dishonest pundit. He proved it again Monday night. Along the way, he suggested Dr. Phil was gay for noticing fit, military-aged men were entering the country illegally. The bit opened with a...

Comedian Jon Stewart devoted his monologue on the Daily Show Monday evening to criticizing Israel’s response to the Hamas terror attack, and mocking the Biden administration for not clamping down on what he called a five-month bombing campaign. The show was Stewart’s third since returning from an extensive hiatus to take the reins on a weekly basis, on Monday evenings. Stewart mocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan for postwar Gaza: “So your peace plan is a siege?” He claimed, falsely, that Netanyahu was trying to end the “idea” of Hamas, likening it to George W. Bush’s “mission accomplished” in...

One-time fans who perhaps remember comedian Jon Stewart only taking satirical swipes at conservatives while host of The Daily Show were shocked and aggrieved when he returned to host the program after almost nine years on Monday to take aim at President Joe Biden. During an “Indecision 2024” segment that anchored the first half of the show, Stewart aired exasperation over Donald Trump and Biden being the oldest-ever candidates for president, breaking a record they themselves set in the 2020 election. (In his usual self-deprecating style, he also took a moment to lament his own age and appearance.) The monologue...

Joe Biden sat down for his first interview with Kal Penn, the host of The Daily Show. It airs tonight. During the video clip posted on YouTube to promote the interview, Biden tells a whopper as he talks about gay marriage. Penn tells Biden he and his partner, Josh, have been engaged for five years. His aunts and uncles want him to get married already and are disappointed it is taking so long for him to do it. He uses that personal reference to segue into asking Biden about codifying support for same-sex marriage, and inter-racial marriage (which Penn’s marriage...

October 22, 2010 John Stewart's 'Sanity' Rally to include Code Pink, Anarchists Jason McNew It is looking like John Stewart's "Restore Sanity" rally will define sanity rather peculiarly. Code Pink, Anarchists, and pro-abortion groups plan to attend at the Lincoln Memorial on October 30th.

Viewers who have grown tired of late-night comedy’s incessant left-wing bias made their feelings known last week by giving Fox News Channel’s Gutfeld! a strong debut, handily beating NBC’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon while nipping at the heels of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Gutfeld!, which stars long-time The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld, drew an average of 1.57 million viewers in its first five episodes last week. The show easily beat the Tonight Show, which averaged 1.38 million viewers and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, with 1.08 million. The show also outpaced Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor...

Trevor Noah, comedian and host of “The Daily Show,” ripped mainstream media, and on occasion the Biden Administration, during Saturday night’s White House correspondents’ dinner.“It is my great honor to be speaking tonight at the nation’s most distinguished super spreader event,” Noah said. The dinner had no mask mandate, and an estimated 2,600 guests were present, according to The Hill.“Do you read any of your own newspapers? … What are you doing here? You guys spent the last two years telling everyone about the importance of wearing masks and avoiding large indoor gatherings,” Noah quipped. “Then the second someone offers...

As musicians pull out of Spotify over Joe Rogan, Jon Stewart is coming to the podcast host's defense. The former host of The Daily Show on his podcast discussed artists like Neil Young leaving Spotify in protest of COVID-19 misinformation on Rogan's show The Joe Rogan Experience. Stewart criticized "overblown rhetoric" about Rogan, arguing he's not "an ideologue in any way" and is open to being corrected when he's wrong. When it comes to the Spotify protest, Stewart said that in general, his philosophy is "don't leave, don't abandon, don't censor, engage."

<p>In the “Harry Potter” world, Gringott’s Bank, the bank that serves wizards and where treasures are stored in a mysterious network of underground tunnels and chambers, is run by goblins, who are depicted as ill-tempered, short-statured creatures with long noses and ears with a love of gold.</p>

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah took a break from mocking conservatives to launch a rare offensive against a fellow left winger — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who is facing a widening scandal over allegations that his administration covered up the extent of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes in order to avoid a federal investigation under the Trump administration.

The late-night comedy show took yet another surprising stance of late, criticizing the anti-fascist collective for its tactics. Occasionally, The Daily Show will surprise its (mostly left-wing) viewers by echoing the overheated rhetoric emanating from the right-wing echo chamber. This week, for example, the late-night comedy program defended Melania Trump’s decision to wear designer stiletto heels to tour the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas. (Of course, the tony first couple ended up comforting a grand total of zero survivors, and the best evidence the White House could muster to back Trump’s assertion that he’d witnessed “first hand”...

For many years high profile American comedians have infiltrated African TV sets with their bawdy brand of humour, yet for many years the continents slew of comedic arts could never catch a break in pursuit of the American dream.Popular South African comedian, Trevor Noah, changed that this month by raising the stakes, not to mention many an eyebrow, with his appearance on the American late night show, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Noah’s six minute slot was a hit with local supporters and African Diasporans globally. We certainly don’ t deny that Noah’s stand up set had us standing...

It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists lined up to interview him. CNN even dedicated an entire primetime hour to him, treating the in-your-face Republican as one of the most important political voices in the country. Consumers aren’t buying it. A senior publishing source with access to the industry’s BookScan tabulations tells me that “Republican Rescue” sold just 2,289 copies during its first week in stores,...

A producer for the left wing ‘Daily Show’ has accused NBC’s Chuck Todd of being a secret agent for Republicans. This is laughable. Conservatives have been complaining about media bias from Chuck Todd for years, he is one of the worst left wing hacks on TV. FOX News reports: NBC’s Chuck Todd trends on Twitter after Daily Show producer claims he is a ‘Republican plant’ NBC anchor Chuck Todd trended on Twitter after a Daily Show producer accused him of being a “Republican plant” on Sunday night. On Sunday, Daily Show producer Matt Negrin posted a lengthy Twitter thread discussing...

People aren’t dumb. They’ve looked around, and they see that telling the wrong joke -- or even simply laughing at one -- is a quick way to destroy your life.Conan O’Brien did his final late night show last week, after 28 years on air. He’s stepping away at the right time. Whether you liked his comedic style or not, he really was trying to make people laugh. When was the last time you watched “The Late Show” in order to laugh? That’s a trick question — nobody who watches Stephen Colbert is laughing. Laughter is entirely beside the point; Colbert’s...
