Summary

This week's host Josh Johnson sits down with Daily Show writer Randall Otis to recap the latest news, and preview the week to come. They talk Trump's algae-infested reflecting pool as a reflection of America's decline, their shared anxiety over the outcome of the Iran War, and the terminal awkwardness of JD Vance. Plus, Josh laments his lack of a basic sense of direction, and Randall confesses to being a bit clueless when it comes to colors. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
