May 7, 2026 - Adam Scott Summary

The Daily Show Season 31 Episode 58 Synopsis

Desi Lydic tackles the latest headlines: A judge releases Jeffrey Epstein's purported sleeping note; Republicans pledge midterm loyalty to Trump and his 80-year-old fighting skills; and for Mother's Day, Trump gifts moms an autocorrect rant. Also, Troy Iwata, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta face off over who could take Trump in a fight. Josh Johnson digs into a viral JPMorgan sexual-harassment lawsuit, where a male employee accused a female colleague of coercing him into a "sex slave arrangement", setting off a frenzy of sexist memes and sensational coverage before the claims reportedly fell apart under scrutiny. Award-winning actor Adam Scott joins Desi to talk horror-comedy in his new film, Hokum, plus how Step Brothers shaped his comedy path, his dramatic turns in Big Little Lies and Severance, and playing an arsehole after being typecast as the likable guy.

The Daily Show Show Summary

Forget the 24 hour biased left wing news media, the best fake news show in the world will provide you with all the news you can handle.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view.

In each show anchorman Trevor Noah and a team of correspondents comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures.
