Ronny Chieng breaks down the Trump administration's original Iran War strategy to reinstall former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after bombing his house, Trump unseating Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in retaliation for spearheading the release of the Epstein files, and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry trying to win over Greenlanders with cookies and friendship. Plus, Jordan Klepper weighs in on former Cuban President Raúl Castro's indictment and America’s obsession with gerontocracy.

Gen Z's "maxxing" trend has gotten way out of hand. As looksmaxxers like Clavicular hype the benefits of smashing your face with a hammer, and self-described nothing-maxxers achieve new levels of doing jack s**t, Lewis Black can't help but wonder: What the f**k is happening?!

Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, actor, and writer Jonnie Park, aka Dumbfoundead, joins Ronny to discuss his new memoir "SPIT: A Life in Battles." They talk about getting his start in battle rapping at 14 years old in Los Angeles, evolving from freestyle battles to prepared matchups, developing a thick skin as the only Asian in the rap battle arena, dabbling in other mediums like acting in “Nemesis” and writing for season 2 of “Beef,” both on Netflix, and chronicling his story through the different family, immigration, and career battles he’s faced.

Trump taps his acting attorney general and former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, to use his $1.8 billion IRS settlement as a slush fund for January 6ers, the president reportedly boosted his stock purchases by heaping praise on companies he invested in, the White House ballroom gets "complex" architecture and favor-hungry corporate donors, and Ronny Chieng uses his law degree to break down what this cascade of corruption means for Trump.

Michael Kosta serves up the latest headlines to help you make fat stacks of stinky cash: Ube-flavored coffee drinks put purple yams in high demand, horse piss contaminates a counterfeit perfume, and an aggrieved billionaire says "tax the rich" is hate speech.

Actor Brendan Fraser sits down with Ronny to discuss his new film “Pressure” and what it really means to take a creative risk. Fraser opens up about why projects that scare him a little are usually the ones that are worth doing and what it took for him to rebuild his career. Fraser and Ronny go into how the film raises uncomfortable questions about human arrogance, the cost of poor leadership, and what happens when ego overrides judgment in the highest stakes. Plus, Fraser teases the possibility of another Mummy movie!

Trump supposedly went to China to get tough on trade, collect rare earth minerals, and maybe solve the Iran War, but instead he spent his trip telling President Xi what a tall, handsome, and strong leader he is. Plus, it's graduation season, and Jon Stewart gives the Class of 2026 the ultimate guide on how to nail that big job interview the Donald Trump way.

Financial Times columnist Soumaya Keynes and Chad P. Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics sit down with Jon to discuss their forthcoming book, "How to Win a Trade War." They talk about Trump’s disregard of the most basic military strategy by starting a trade war on all fronts, how this administration's imposed tariffs revealed U.S. trade vulnerabilities, the debate over whether corporations are the soldiers or mercenaries of trade wars, and how wage insurance could transform job security for domestic workers.

As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its final episode, take a look back at the celebrated correspondent and host of The Colbert Report's time at The Daily Show.

From his very first report on gentle TV nostalgia, through his sendoff of Jon Stewart for Jon's (first) retirement, his run for President (or at least Presidential PAC money), teaming up with Steve Carell for "Even Stepvhen" and God for "This Week in God," he arrived the son of a simple turd farmer, and left a legend...
