The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Michael Kosta dives into Trump’s busy schedule: hosting an IndyCar event, providing a totally legit medical explanation for how part of Lindsey Graham “blew up,” and reigniting the war in Iran over tolls for the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, Graham’s successor is confirmed, and although she's his sister, she might be America's most qualified senator.

The Daily Show counts down the greatest moments in America's 250-year history, from the Declaration of Independence to winning World War II to the time Lenny Kravitz's d**k fell out on stage and changed American history forever.

Financial literacy expert and author Beth Kobliner joins Michael to discuss her New York Times bestseller, now in its 5th edition, “Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties." They talk about only half the country requiring high schools to teach personal finance, despite the programs fostering the financial literacy needed to improve credit scores and manage debt. Kobliner effortlessly explains high-yield savings accounts and investing, why retirement accounts should be renamed “super smart investment accounts,” and how getting your finances together is easier than banks and investment companies want you to think. Plus, Kosta asks questions from “broke Daily Show staff” like whether robbing a bank is a viable retirement strategy and whether Gen Z will ever own a home.

Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden death prompts Jon Stewart to dive into the gerontocracy problem in Washington, D.C., Trump’s backhanded tribute to his deceased “friend,” the bucket list that Graham never got to complete, and how Mitch McConnell somehow managed to outlive his colleague from South Carolina.

Oscar-winning director, writer, and producer Christopher Nolan sits down with Jon to discuss his new film, "The Odyssey." They talk about "Oppenheimer" paving the way for "The Odyssey" to be made, Nolan's process of constructing movies through diagrams and structures, his embrace of the fantastical while showing respect to the film's source material, and finishing ahead of schedule despite filming with an IMAX camera in three-minute increments.

The two also weigh in on the current state of the U.S.-Iran conflict, the Trump administration's substance-free approach to governance, and how male body insecurity is manifesting itself in bizarre trends like "ballmaxxing."
