Show notes

Jessica is joined by the hilarious and razor-sharp Daily Show host Desi Lydic. Jessica and Desi dive into what it’s like to create The Daily Show in today’s political climate, the challenges (and perks) of stepping into a lead hosting role, and how the show balances humor with the heavy reality of the news. They also break down whether satire is helping or hurting the national discourse, which party is more fun to roast, and how Desi approaches the unique chaos of covering Trump this time around.
