Summary

A sheriff in Texas is investigating the Florida governor’s role in tricking migrants onto a flight to Martha’s Vineyard, and Stephen performs a rap song inspired by a campaign ad from a candidate for the Utah State Senate. Billy Eichner stops by to tell Stephen how he pulled off making the first big-budget major studio gay romantic comedy, and the internet was shocked this week when the reigning Sexiest Man Alive, Paul Rudd, popped up in the first new episode of “Billy on the Street” in three years. Check out the film, “Bros,” in theaters next Friday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
