Episode Description from the Publisher

Desi Lydic celebrates The Daily Show’s milestone 30th birthday while conservative media makes excuses for the Iran War turning five months old, with Newsmax's Greg Kelly working overtime to minimize the length of 144 days. Plus, RFK Jr. sets records for measles and diarrhea lettuce while Trump gives himself a pat on the back for reaching number 1 on TikTok, or as he calls it: "Tic Tac." Desi takes a look back at 30 years of unforgettable moments from The Daily Show hosts, correspondents, and contributors as they tackled the most consequential stories of the day, from Bill Clinton's impeachment to COVID to the triumph of Jon Stewart's beloved New York Knicks. Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page sits down with Desi Lydic to discuss starring in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." He talks about noticing Christopher Nolan’s deep commitment to storytelling on the set of "Inception," filming "The Odyssey" amid extreme weather, and working with an extraordinary cast and crew to develop a film that brings people back to theaters. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
