Trump Is Hot for Tim Scott & Susan Collins Side-Eyes Troy Jackson's Second Cousin | Jimmy O. Yang

Description

Midterm mania continues with competitive races turning deep-red states purple, or at least… burgundy red? Ronny Chieng breaks down the headlines, including Trump professing his love for Sen. Tim Scott and bragging about his favorite presidential side hustle: renaming bodies of water. Plus, Michael Kosta defends Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson after Susan Collins points out that his family tree has some funky branches. When a new Trump outrage hits the news cycle, Chief Deniability Officer Sheryl B. Bahama (Grace Kuhlenschmidt) steps in to provide GOP lawmakers with a protective layer of ignorance. Whether she's kidnapping Mike Johnson or brain-wiping Tommy Tuberville, Sheryl makes sure Republicans can respond to uncomfortable questions about Trump with a confident "I don't know." Actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang sits down with longtime friend Ronny to discuss his third comedy special, “Finally Home.” Yang chats about returning to Hong Kong to connect to his roots 25 years after moving to America, how finding his childhood diary inspired his new special, and the differences between the comment sections on Chinese and American social media. Plus, Yang and Ronny discuss sharing a trailer on the “Crazy Rich Asians” set and what it was like being co-stars in “Interior Chinatown.” -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- 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.
