    I don't watch this show, mainly because I don't care about late-night talk shows that don't involve Conan or Colbert, but this is definitely a standout take-down on the anti-trans measures that have been making the rounds in the US lately. I encourage everyone that wants to get informed on the subject to check out the 8 minute segment, it's pretty neat and as comprehensive a take-down as you are gonna get in that short amount of time (while still being funny without making light of the situation).

    Sidenote: Jessica Williams is the shit.

    Saw this the other night and really enjoyed it. The Daily Show under John Stewart did some legendary beating about the head and ears of some folks who richly deserved it. Good to see them continuing that tradition even though Stewart has moved on.

    I hate Jon Stewart for always slandering Russia and the Russian people. This video that he most likely didn't even write won't change my hatred of the man.

    ...first of all, Jon Stewart isn't even the host of the show anymore. It's hosted by Trevor Noah...

    Second of all...citation needed...

    But on topic, I saw this a few days ago. Finally glad to see that they're doing stuff like this.

    Watched it yesterday, laughed so much! I loved it! (Not that I ever don't love what Jessica Williams does.)

    Now, if only people could see stuff like this instead of Faux News and the other loudmouths all over the channels, the country might actually live up to it's name. (Maybe)
