The Chris Cuomo Project

Why do comedians so often see the culture more clearly than the people paid to cover it? Chris Cuomo sits down with three of the sharpest comedic minds working today for conversations that go well past the jokes — about what's really happening in media, money, and what you're still allowed to say.

Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, "The Tim Dillon Show") argues that cancel culture burned out because ideological purity is exhausting — and that the real credibility crisis belongs to the "expert" class, who failed on everything from Iraq to the pandemic and lost the public's trust. He and Cuomo get into why audiences now reward authenticity over corporate media, and why "agreeable nihilism" became the American mood.

Adam Friedland (comedian and podcast host, "The Adam Friedland Show") gets honest about money and precarity — the middle-class squeeze that politics ignores while catering to the extremes — and how he taught himself the craft of interviewing by studying Howard Stern and leaning into self-deprecation. It's a look at ambition, purpose, and why he stopped coasting.

Max Amini (comedian and actor, @MaxAmini) breaks down where the real red lines in comedy are — why fear holds artists back, why authenticity always wins out, and how he navigates what can and can't be said performing across wildly different cultures, from America to the Middle East.

Chris Cuomo breaks down what he calls Donald Trump’s “seven deadly sins,” using pride, wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth as a framework for examining the president’s conduct and the direction of his administration. Cuomo connects the seven sins to Trump’s approach to ICE and the Constitution, political opponents, personal enrichment, the war in Iran, and the use of presidential power. He also explains why he believes the signs point to a more serious problem surrounding future elections and whether the country’s constitutional guardrails will hold.

Josh Rogin (Lead Global Security Analyst, WP Intelligence, and and Columnist, The Washington Post) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, the consequences of America’s changing role in the world, and why Rogin believes the U.S. keeps getting distracted from the long-term challenge posed by China.

Rogin explains why he sees few good options remaining in Iran, how declining American influence could create opportunities for adversaries, and why Taiwan’s dominance of advanced semiconductor manufacturing makes the U.S.-China relationship increasingly consequential.

They also discuss the failures of American foreign policy, the lessons of 9/11, political polarization, and what the next generation of American leadership could mean for the country’s role abroad.

D.L. Hughley (Actor, Comedian, and Host, “The D.L. Hughley Show”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss why he believes Donald Trump reflects who America really is and why the country may have reached “rock bottom.” Hughley and Cuomo dig into race, civil rights, immigration, political division, and the historical forces that continue to shape American politics. Hughley also argues that Trump and his supporters are now confronting the results of the policies they wanted, and explains why acknowledging where the country is may be necessary before it can move forward.

Heading into the midterms, what actually beats Trumpism — and is the two-party establishment even capable of it? Chris Cuomo brings together three of the sharpest and most different voices in American politics to argue over what's really broken and what actually wins.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District) details the falling-out that ended her alliance with Donald Trump — the White House phone call in which she says he warned her "friends are going to get hurt" if the Epstein files came out, the death threats against her family, and the loyalty demands that led her to conclude the movement had become a cult and the whole system is broken.

James Carville (Democratic strategist and political commentator) makes the case that Trump is an existential threat that calls for scorched-earth tactics, and spars with Cuomo over the better path to a majority — hammering Trump as the most destructive figure in the country, or winning back voters by telling them "you're right about what's wrong, and here's who actually fixes it."

Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen," and author, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World") argues Democrats are institutionalists to a fault — too precious about the filibuster and the norms while the other side barrels through them — and that the only way to beat the fear-mongering is to seize power and actually deliver for people.
