Summary

King Charles visits Congress for open mic night, and Trump tries to out-tyrant His Majesty with another indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, this time for the "crime" of posting a photo of seashells spelling out "8647." Josh Johnson breaks down MAGA world's feverish accusations against Comey, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt decodes other treasonous hidden messages at the beach. Islamophobia is all the rage right now, with prominent public figures delighting in smearing Muslims as pork-fearing fanatics hell-bent on conquering the world. But in the interest of accuracy, Muslim comedian Mo Amer has some notes. Stand-up comedian Ali Siddiq sits down with Josh to discuss his NAACP Image Award-winning special, "My Two Sons." They talk about staying in Houston to pursue comedy and bring the community along with his success, connecting with incarcerated people to share how he changed his mindset beyond prison, why becoming independent with his comedy was a choice to preserve his agency, and going from small back room performances to selling out arenas in the U.S. and internationally on his Custom Fit tour. -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
