This Week's News | Jon Stewart on the Botched Iran Deal & Josh Johnson on Trump's Reflecting Pool War

Josh Johnson plunges into World Cup visitors' obsession with ranch dressing, Zohran Mamdani’s new “kingmaker” status after his endorsements swept the NY primaries, Trump using his congratulatory tweet to Mamdani to brag about his own endorsements of MAGA rapper Anthony Constantino and indicted fraudster Ken Paxton, and the difference between endorsing loyalists vs. committed public servants. In an age when oligarchs are maximizing profits at the expense of workers, billionaire John Paulson has stood out as a sworn enemy of offshoring American jobs. But now he appears to be singing a different tune, as Paulson's Conn Selmer brass instrument plant is gearing up to send its operations to China. Troy Iwata meets with union leader and Conn Selmer employee Robert Hines to find out what he and his fellow workers are doing to protect their jobs from the sad trombone of unemployment. Comedian, rapper, and actor Jay Pharoah sits down with Josh to discuss his new album, “The Odyssey,” and hosting the Fox game show “The Quiz with Balls.” He shares how “The Odyssey” materialized over 10 years, how he wrote it about another dimension where he has the power to save planet Earth, and what happens on “The Quiz with Balls” when contestants don’t fall in. Plus, Jay performs a table read of Josh’s political drama, impersonating Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Patrick Mahomes, and even Josh himself. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Mamdani’s Endorsements Sweep NY Primaries & World Cup Fans Can’t Get Enough Ranch | Jay Pharoah

Josh Johnson dives into the Scottish takeover of Miami for the World Cup, the flock of tourists visiting D.C.'s bright green reflecting pool, Trump’s security escalation to catch possible pool “vandals,” and whether Trump's pool disaster is karma for trashing Obama’s previous reflecting pool fix. Plus, conservative media can’t stop talking about the pool, while Michael Kosta can’t stop dreaming about drinking it. Summer is here, and Lewis Black kicks it off with a look at some of the dumbest and most dangerous fitness trends of the season: sword yoga, which combines the health benefits of yoga with the hazard of lopping off a body part, neck hanging, which is turning Chinese youth into Christmas tree ornaments, and pistols and Pilates, the perfect workout for anyone whose fitness routine needs more guns. Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks to Josh Johnson about starring in the new film “Gangland.” They discuss what draws him to making westerns and how this film shows an evolution of the neo-western genre by centering Indigenous stories and talent, both in front of and behind the camera. Phillips also shares what still excites him about the creative process as an actor, speaks to his mission as a recently re-elected governor of the Actors Branch of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to seek out and uplift new talent, and encourages young artists not to build their careers on fleeting trends that might be a “foundation of sand.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Tries to Catch Reflecting Pool “Vandals” & Miami Gets a Scottish Takeover | Lou Diamond Phillips

Jon Stewart dives into Trump's talent for breaking what ain't broke, from throwing one of his cronies $1.7 million in taxpayer money to clean the D.C reflecting pool (which quickly went from "American Flag Blue" to Mountain Dew green) to launching an aggressive war on Iran with the goal of re-obliterating their nuclear program but instead settling on a gentle parenting-style deal that lets Iran keep their nukes, along with a few hundred billion dollars. Trump was not in the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, is just one of the few pieces uncovered in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” They sat down with Jon to compare Trump’s first and second terms as president, how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone, and what they uncovered behind his most controversial acts like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran War. They describe his second term as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny because who else can survive four indictments, two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time.  -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

And while this conflict demonstrated that the U.S. can’t just force its will onto every country all the time, Josh Johnson thinks he can strongarm Iran into an even better deal.

Plus, Trump’s $14 million project to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is only reflecting back an algae-green mess, and MAGA supporters suspect sabotage.
