July 16, 2026 - Jake Johnson Summary

The Daily Show Season 31 Episode 88 Synopsis

Michael Kosta breaks down the latest D.C. headlines: Trump's teleprompter operator allegedly made $100K betting on the president's speeches, Pete Hegseth rolls out testosterone tests for America's warriors, and JD Vance redefines "helicopter parent". Plus, the VP seems oddly fascinated by the way Joe Biden eats ice cream. In Sports War, Desi Lydic and Kosta clash over FIFA Men's World Cup stories, from Spain's Lamine Yamal facing an Argentina player who once bathed him to a Norway fan refusing to row along and Senegal's team doctor turning out to be a gynecologist. Actor and producer Jake Johnson joins Kosta to discuss his new Apple TV comedy film, "The Dink", including tennis's obsession with legs, his improv roots, the absurd advice on his podcast "We're Here to Help", and raising daughters who, sadly, root for the Dodgers.

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.
