Summary

The settlement in Fox’s defamation lawsuit doesn’t require them to apologize on their network, so Stephen makes them apologize on The Late Show! Elsewhere, the former president’s new NFT collection is out of this world, and the Iowa state senate passed a bill loosening restrictions on child labor. Elizabeth Olsen had to pretend she wasn’t terrified when a scene in her new mini series, “Love & Death,” required her to ride a rollercoaster. Catch the new series when it premieres April 27th on HBO Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:04.0	This massive settlement was the number one story on every single cable news network except one.
1:13.0	I'm taking guess.
1:16.0	In fact, when the settlement was reached, Fox News couldn't even bring themselves
1:19.0	to tell their viewers how much money they phoned over to Dominion for lying.
