Summary

Desi Lydic has the latest from the Vatican after the announcement of the first American pope, Leo XIV, including the world's reaction to a Chicago-style pope and Fox News immediately yelling at him to speak English. Plus, Michael Kosta celebrates America's conclave win. Following Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military, Jordan Klepper met with a panel of esteemed service members to discuss the president’s rejection of their qualifications, which stand in stark contrast to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alcohol-fueled past and Trump’s own bone spur excuses. Comedian, writer, and actor Michelle Buteau sits down with Desi to share how the Netflix series that she created and stars in, “Survival of the Thickest,” began as a book of essays written just after her twins were born, how having so much creative responsibility on the show allows her to reflect the diversity of the city she lives in, and why she says featuring body-positive sex scenes shows young women that they are worthy of love at any size and shape. She also discusses her recent accomplishment as the first woman to ever film a comedy special at Radio City Music Hall and reflects on the importance of finding joy during difficult times.
