Omarosa's tell-all book tour begins with the release of secret recordings of conversations between her, President Trump and Chief of Staff John Kelly. Plus, Ronny Chieng reveals that he’s been collecting secret recordings around the Daily Show office.




Mike Pence and Space Force - Between the Scenes

Mike Pence’s quiet announcement of the Space Force initiative makes Trevor worry about how much the vice president could get away with if he were POTUS.




Betsy DeVos’s Yacht - Between the Scenes

Trevor wonders why Republicans have a problem with immigrants using public benefits but not with Betsy DeVos dodging payment of $2.5 million in taxes on her yacht.

1. Especially powerful "Between the Scenes" segments. Raising some important points that

Might otherwise be drowned out by the noise from reality show style antics.

2. I like including those since Trevor has shown he "gets" U.S. politics

And he shares thoughts with his audience that we'd never on the show.

7. I'm very glad you include those. Adds another dimension to his work.

8. Thanks! I think they're important, too

He's not only very funny, but he obviously has strong opinions on Trump. I remember a very unusual show he did during the presidential campaign. It supposedly took place in an abandoned basement studio - he was alone, still trying to broadcast the show though without an audience. The premise was that Trump has actually won and the world had experienced an Apocalypse!

3. Yup...

I've been noticing how the late night hosts are not pulling any punches anymore. We need more of that from everyone.

4. Interesting that the video of tonight's guest was available even before the interview aired

That's often true with his monologues, but it's usually a day or two before the guest interviews are available.

5. That's good, though.

Maybe they know that they get a lot of their viewer online so they cater to that. I don't mind, teevee is so losing the game these days.

6. I'm aware that a lot of DUers don't have TV anymore

They depend on their computers for both news - and entertainment. I agree that this is becoming more prevalent all the time.
