Summary

Trump plays dead fish during a medical emergency in the Oval Office, the White House’s Ozempic announcement has Americans losing 400 pounds each, the president finds a new enemy in Nigeria, and Jordan Klepper reports on shutdown-induced flight cancellations that will have people walking home for the holidays. On another episode of Sports War, Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng fight over whether the Dodgers deserved to win the World Series, the integrity of the NBA amid a sports gambling scandal, and an Aussie darts player whose dirty nickname sparked controversy. Academy Award-nominated actor Ethan Hawke sits down with Jordan to discuss his new movie “Blue Moon,” which takes place on an “important night in art history,” after Lorenz Hart attends the premiere of his former collaborator’s musical, “Oklahoma!” They talk about his physical transformation into the character (including that comb-over), working with Richard Linklater for the ninth time, what the film says about American mythology, and his show on FX, “The Lowdown.” Learn more about your ad choices.
