Summary

It's a preview! It's a recap! It's a Precap! Sit down with the week's host Michael Kosta and Daily Show writer and producer Matt O'Brien to hear what news they're excited to cover, what they wish they could talk about but will probably get eclipsed by bigger news, and what stories they're sad they missed. They'll tackle the Trump/Putin summit in Alaska, where tennis meets geopolitics, and, of course, the destruction of the Burning Man Orgy Dome. Learn more about your ad choices.
