The Daily Show: Ears Edition

This week's host Michael Kosta sits down with Daily Show writer Scott Hercman to catch up on the latest news, and preview the week to come.

They dig in to what happened while the show was on summer break only to discover that not much has changed. America's still at war with Iran, still antagonizing Canada with tariffs and renamed lakes, and the climate is still trying to kill us all.

Looking ahead they take a look at the influencer invasion of the US Open, the massive punishment of the LA Clippers, and the even more massive Meta settlement over teen mental health.
