Summary

Desi Lydic tackles the latest headlines: A judge releases Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note, Republicans pledge their midterm loyalty to Trump and his 80-year-old fighting skills, and this Mother’s Day, Trump gives moms the gift of an autocorrect rant. Plus, Troy Iwata, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta go head-to-head over who could take Trump in a fight. Josh Johnson deep-dives into a viral sexual harassment lawsuit at JPMorgan, where a male employee accused a female colleague of coercing him into a "sex slave" arrangement, setting off a frenzy of sexist memes and sensational media coverage before the evidence apparently unraveled under scrutiny. Adam Scott, award-winning actor, joins Desi to discuss tackling the horror genre in his new film, “Hokum.” They talk about how "Step Brothers" set him on a comedy trajectory, his transition into more dramatic roles with "Big Little Lies" and "Severance," how David Letterman inspired his love of show business from a young age, and how he took on playing an asshole in “Hokum” after being typecast as a likable guy. -- For up to 65% off your order, head to https://VeracityHealth.co and use code DAILY. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
