You're listening to Comedy Central.

From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central.

It's America's only source for news.

This is the Daily Daily Show with your host, Dennis Leiding.

Welcome to The Daily Show.

I'm Dennis Leiding.

We've got so much to talk about tonight.

Jordan Klepper releases his Epstein files.

Megan Kelly loses her mind again.

And finally, we answer the question, do these jeans make my ass look racist?

So let's get into the headlines.

For the past few weeks, the national conversation has been totally dominated by the Jeffrey Epstein story.

But who would have thought that the thing that knocked it off the top of the charts would be Sidney Sweeney

doing the most laid-back line delivery I've ever seen in my life?

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.

My jeans are blue.

Sidney's twinie has buried Keynes.

John's.

John's are passed down.

My Johns are blue.

I love my blue.

John's.

John's, John's blow.

I love her so much.

Okay, so there were a bunch of of different reactions to this ad.

Some people thought, yeah, pretty standard ad where a hot person tells you to buy stuff.

Other people were like, wow, Desi, I saw you in that jeans ad and you looked great.

And then I had to be like, no, that was Sidney Sweeney.

It's a common mistake.

Anyway, but then there was another reaction online, which is that the ad wasn't just selling jeans.

It was also subtly promoting white supremacy.

And as you can imagine, that spawned an incredible right-wing backlash.

What these left-wingers don't know is that they are revealing themselves to be the actual racist here, racist against white people.

They're mad because she's young, hot, healthy, white, and blonde.

And liberals just, they just hate hot people.

They just do.

Yeah, that's a great point.

It's a great point.

It's a great point.

I thought they just hated meat and freedom, but they also hate hot people.

They do.

By the way, are you guys kidding?

Liberals love hot people.

They love hot people so much, they're apparently willing to to give them one free murder.

But it wasn't just right-wing media.

It was also people who you thought had more important things to do, like Pick-Me Senator Ted Cruz.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

He wrote on X, wow, now the crazy left has come out against beautiful women.

I'm sure that will pull well.

Yeah,

you tell them, Ted Cruz.

Hey, if you want to talk shit about a woman and get away with it, you better be talking about my wife.

And if you can believe it, it gets grosser than Ted Cruz.

She's a hot.

beautiful biological woman and everybody loves it.

I thought it was a joke about her, you know, two most prominent assets.

I'm sorry, as a red-blooded American male, it's not her blue eyes or her skin that I first see when I look at that picture.

She is a lovely young woman, too young for me, unfortunately.

Why do you think people are so mad about that ad?

It seems much less sensual than the one Brooke Shields did back in the 1980s.

Sensual?

Brooke Shields, that was sensual.

These guys are so horny for a jeans ad that they started remembering older jeans ads.

They were horny for them.

They're withdrawing 40-year-old treasury bonds from their spank bank.

Now, Betty Boop, she was sensual.

Can Stuart Varney please not say sensual anymore?

You celebrate the sensuality that's in those two jeans ads.

You like it?

Oh, stop saying sensual!

Do you ever see that time-lapse video of a deer decomposing in like 10 seconds?

Every time I hear him say sensual, that's what happens to my uterus.

That guy saying sensual can make anything less sensual, and I mean anything.

Genes are passed on from parents to offspring.

Sensual.

See?

Not sensual.

It's not.

Can anyone possibly make this story even more gross?

Donald Trump Jr.

posted this AI-generated image poking fun at Sydney's commercial.

Donald is so hot right now.

Yeah, who wants to f my dad?

You know what?

You know what?

I am done hearing from men on this.

Perhaps we can get some sound analysis from someone who isn't suffering from boner brain fog.

Finally, we have an actual woman with amazing breasts and an obviously kick-ass body who is in a dress or inner jeans, whatever, and it's wonderful.

Jesus.

Megan Kelly's more horned up than they are.

It's almost making me missual.

Basically, Megan thinks the people who oppose this ad are just jealous haters who wish they were as hot as Sidney Sweeney.

But come to think of it, I did see someone going after her recently.

Who was that again?

Sidney Sweeney, the new toast of the town out there because she's got these enormous breasts that everybody's obsessed with.

Well, well, well, Megan, one minute you say you love boobs, the next you don't.

What are you, my in hindsight, very gay high school boyfriend?

And by the way, Sidney isn't the first woman Megan's gone after for being hot.

I object to like J-Lo and Shakira showing their badge at the Super Super Bowl.

She dresses like a prostitute.

She looks like a hooker.

Look at this.

Her enormous breasts and a bathing suit was her chosen outfit.

She hasn't come to grips with the fact that she's not a sex symbol anymore.

You seem to be a desperate hoe wanting strangers to admire your vagina.

Yeah,

yeah, that's right, women.

You listen to Megan Kelly and hide your sexuality.

Unless your body makes liberals mad, in which case it's a kick-ass body.

Hell yeah, go, girl.

You motorboat those liberals here.

But not so much that it threatens Megan or so help me, God, she will destroy you, hobags.

But remember, this whole thing started because people were calling this ad a racist dog whistle.

And whether that was intended or not, the reaction was definitely more of a dog megaphone.

We're sick and fing tired of the nonsense where you are not allowed to ever celebrate someone who is white and blonde and blue-eyed.

We are over this woke agenda.

We're over the Lizzos.

We're over the Dylan Mulvaneys.

If this was a 300-pound non-binary person, they would be applauding her.

I was so sick of seeing these just fat, unappealing losers who've destroyed their own bodies.

She's not a plus-size swim model on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

She's not a male prom queen.

This ad is the final declaration that we're done doing that shit.

Guys.

Guys, guys, guys, calm down.

It's just an ad for Johns.

Blow Jines.

This is such bullshit.

Blonde women have had constant representation, okay, in entertainment, in fashion, in letter turning.

It's not that they want to see more white women, it's that they want to see none of anyone else.

For a story about boobs, it sure has a hell of a lot of assholes.

But look, in all of this conversation, we're forgetting about the real victim here, American Eagle.

They just wanted to trick grandmas doing Christmas shopping into thinking they were Abercrombie and Fitch.

And now, look what's happened.

They've become associated with white supremacy, which

is probably why they're now releasing this new ad to clarify their stance on racial equality.

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.

Asians are the best race.

Ronnie Chain has the best genes.

When we come back, Jordan Pleffer finds out what MAGA thinks about the scene because

lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

Welcome back to The Daily Show.

Donald Trump has had a roller coaster relationship with Jeffrey Epstein over the years, but so have his supporters.

Jordan Klepper has more.

The Jeffrey Epstein story is everywhere these days, but it's not new to the MAGA crowd.

In fact, I've heard some version of it since 2019.

Although early on, some of the folks were hazy on the finer details, like his name.

Mark Epstein.

Yeah,

he's got quite a list of people that have showed up at his island from what I've read.

You know, Bill Clinton,

Bill Gates.

So isn't there something there?

And doesn't that speak of the debauchery that's at these levels?

So who Jeffrey Epstein parties with?

Yeah, I mean, there's got to be something there.

Epstein famously spent a lot of time with Trump.

Is that an issue?

I didn't know that he spent a lot of time with Trump.

Sometimes the Epstein talk was lumped in with fun conspiracies.

Somebody put me on to QAnon.

I believe some of it with Epstein and everything and Clinton and all the those.

You would never vote for anybody who associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

I did vote for Clinton back.

I used to be a Democrat, but I think

you voted for Trump.

I voted for Critique.

So you love Epstein's, actually.

That might be the one thing.

Yeah, maybe.

I don't really know.

Like, I could go down that rabbit hole all day, but I believe in some things.

So JFK Jr.

is still alive.

What?

And he's disguised in the background.

So this guy is always behind Trump at the rallies.

I'm going to look out for him today, by the way.

And he looks disguised.

And then two down is supposed to be Carolyn Bassett.

So I kind of hope I see them today.

So you're saying JMK Jr.

is still alive and spending his time in the background at Trump rally?

Yes.

And how could I forget this man?

I'm Red Phil Kent.

He was more concerned with a different Trump associate.

It's total evil.

All you got to do is look at Sean Puffy Combs, man.

He's right in your face.

Oh, he's the black Epstein.

He's the black Epstein.

well what is this all about is there a connection with hold on hold on and biden is there is there a biden yes because they're all a part of the nazi world order that's what i'm telling you but biden and all of all of them all of them all of them stop man stop if you don't know that then i'm i'm giving you i'm sorry i didn't get a latest album i guess i haven't leave it in a discography

While Trump was being indicted in a Manhattan court, his supporters were gathered outside

deflecting.

Biden is a penophile.

He's all known that.

Sure.

Well, he's in the White House.

He likes to sniff kids.

I'm sorry, but you said Biden likes to sniff kids?

Yeah, you've seen all the videos of him sniffing kids all the time.

He's been on Epstein Island 26 times.

So you don't support anybody who associates with somebody like Epstein?

No, I wouldn't.

No, never.

You're here defending Donald Trump?

Sure.

What do you think about Trump associating with Epstein?

He was on his flight once coming to New York.

You're never going to see a video of Trump next to Epstein.

There is a video, yeah.

There is a video.

You're right, you're right.

You're right.

Barley Largo.

So there is a video and evidence of Trump with Epstein.

Yes, there is.

As you talk through it, it almost seems like a double standard.

Why is it a double standard?

You people, for the most part, the fake press.

I like to call you as the fake f.

I don't give a shit.

You can't embarrass me.

You think you're a journalist?

You're not.

I'm not.

With that big parade, everything that's coming down the street, what are you most excited to see?

Tanks.

Tanks.

The helicopters.

You throw something like this, and you can't think of what else is going on.

Yeah, that's right.

That's it.

That's it.

Yeah.

A couple days ago, we were talking about Epstein's list.

I know, right?

Nobody's thinking about that now.

No, it's funny, but it's the United States Army, 250th anniversary.

On the Gulf of America, the Tampa Bay young Republicans attacked the Democrats and Epstein with very carefully thought-out criticism.

Don't really know too much about it, but I mean, I know the Democratic Party is, you know, big into

doing stuff underneath the surface level.

What do you mean?

Like what?

Like human trafficking?

Oh my god.

The Dems are into human trafficking.

Of course.

I mean, how do you think they make most of their money anyways?

You won't let that stand.

No.

Just wait till the Epstein files come out.

Right.

It's going to happen any minute.

So you guys still are anti-human trafficking?

100%.

100%.

You guys did invite Andrew Tate to come talk to your group.

Yeah.

Yep.

Andrew Tate, kind of big in the alleged human trafficking thing.

You gotta make sure this is not gonna be happening here.

You are not welcome here, human traffickers.

That's right.

Except you are invited to our group to talk.

So, how will this group react if the Epstein files are released and Trump is in there?

I'm sure we can expect a very rational response.

So, JFK Jr.

is still alive, or maybe not.

Thank you, Jordan.

Welcome back to the TV show.

My guest tonight is an Emmy Award-winning actor and producer who stars in the new film, Sketch.

Please welcome Tony Hale.

It's such an honor being here.

Oh my God, the entire building is so excited to have you here.

Tony Hale, comedic genius.

Oh, comes from.

So nice.

It comes from so much pain.

Yes, I assume so.

It always does.

Yeah, yeah.

It always does.

You have played some of the most iconic roles in TV.

Gary in Veep,

Buster Bluth in Arrested Development.

Do you ever go back and watch old episodes of Veep just to remember what things could be like if we had competent adults in charge?

Interesting.

Do you know what?

I actually love when people come up and say they like the show and remind me of bits because I don't...

Somebody once said,

they said oh I loved that bit when because so my aunt my hand was eaten off by a seal in the show

yeah and I was in the hospital and I said oh I said I said I love that bit when the doctor says he's gonna be he's gonna be okay and somebody had to remind me that it said no he said he's gonna be all right meaning he just has a right arm

Yeah, and this was a joke I got 15 years after I shot the show.

You know, it was so many, so later.

But that's what makes both of those shows actually so incredible is they're jokes on jokes on jokes.

And you do kind of have to re-watch multiple times to catch everything.

Oh, yeah.

I want to talk about your creative process.

I'm just so curious because these characters that you've played, so many of them are real oddballs, very

specific, quirky characters.

And in any other hands.

And you'd be like, oh, that's quirky.

Yes, let's push in.

He's getting emotional.

But almost in any other hands, they would be played in this kind of like broad over-the-top way but what I love about your acting so much is you're so grounded and you're so truthful and you really root for these characters so what what is your process like do you improvise do you get into a physicality

yeah I remember it's very nice to say

my therapist be like oh I've got some stories

but I remember on arrested I remember asking Mitch Hurwitz a very actuary question and I said what does Buster like want and he goes all he wants is safety.

And so I thought about Buster, and that's why he would always go in the back.

He would always be in this kind of defensive place.

And because he was always like, what's coming at me?

And he was just always kind of like just looking around, like, what's happening?

So he was always kind of checking out and always worried someone's going to come at him.

Oh, that's so fascinating.

He was so codependent.

Yes.

There was a scene.

There's a scene where my mom, Lucille Walter,

sorry, no, Jessica Walter, her name was Lucille.

Yeah.

One and the same.

But she was on house arrest and she couldn't smoke.

And Buster was, she asked Buster to inhale the smoke out of her mouth and then exhale it on the balcony.

And then he would like breathe and then I would come back and I would inhale the smoke again.

Like a baby bird getting a worm out of a mother.

And it was such a picture of codependency.

You know, it was just like so twisted, but so funny.

Oh, that Mitch Hurwitz.

And and i have asthma too by the way

oh my god yeah yeah never quite recovered from that

hence the therapy yeah yeah

i want to talk about this new movie that you have now sketched they i heard it described as jurassic park meets inside out yes yes yes it's such a fascinating movie it's so great how do you describe it oh so well this movie's taken us eight years to get made and my my friend seth whorley the writer and director who is so talented he had this idea it actually came from his

situation that his sister was in growing up where his sister was drawing these really dark pictures and his parents took her to a therapist because they were worried.

And it was a bullying situation.

And the therapist asked her, Do you want these things to happen to this bully?

And she was honest and she said, kind of.

And the therapist said, well, I think it's a good idea that you drew them rather than left it blank.

You know, that you were creative and put it on paper rather than keeping it up here where it festers and next to gets dark.

And so that's where this story came from.

I play a worried dad who's seeing these pictures and then something happens where the pictures come to life.

And it talks about, and in the movie, my wife has passed away, so it's all these kind of things of kids, she's actually processing her feelings and I'm kind of compartmentalizing them.

Actually, there's a new term,

you know, you've heard of helicopter parenting where you kind of...

No, never heard of it.

Do you need more water?

Gosh,

surreal.

But there's a miss,

it's really happening.

But there's a new term called snowplow parenting, where you you want to remove the challenges completely from your kids, which I totally relate to.

I have a 19-year-old, and seeing my kid have to go through stuff and her feeling feelings, you're like, ah, but she has to walk through that stuff to grow.

And my character in the movie wanted to compartmentalize.

And so he learned, like, we got to process these feelings.

We got to walk through it.

It's such a beautiful message at the heart of it.

And I loved, I have a nine-year-old son at home, and I loved watching this movie with him.

And it was such,

I think it was helpful for him to hear, but really more for me to hear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How do I talk to my child about processing feelings like that?

And you spend the whole movie being concerned about your daughter when you also have a son who's kind of doing the same thing that your character's doing, holding all of his hands on.

Yeah, and trying to fix things, yeah.

Yeah, and Darcy Cardin is also in the movie.

Darcy Cardin from the Good Place.

I mean, she's...

She's so fun and kind.

And I mean, you know, like when you're working with other comic, you're so talented.

And it's like when you're working with other comic actors,

you feel that you're so amazing.

Your timing is tight.

Let's go.

But it's like you have that trust that you can kind of have that comic dance together.

And Darcy was perfect.

So she plays my sister in the movie.

And she's so great in it.

And she has my favorite quote in the movie.

She says to you at some point when you're fretting over your daughter, she says, I think you should stop worrying about the girls who are busy drawing about their pain and worry more about the boys who are ignoring theirs.

Yeah.

And I I thought that is why.

No.

It's also, I mean, if you think about it, you talk about it on the show all the time, there's a lot of finger pointing.

Well, look what they're doing.

Look what they're doing.

It's like, yeah, let's start pointing the finger back at ourselves.

Yeah.

Also, this is a really fun family adventure movie.

It's funny.

It's very funny.

Silly movie.

It is very funny.

It is a feel-good movie.

It is funny.

But important messaging.

Important messaging.

And really timely, if you ask me.

How did it feel to, this is your baby.

You've been producing it for, like you said, eight years.

It's great, and it's also that feeling of like,

take care of my kid.

You know, it's because we champion it.

Championing it?

Championing it?

Sure.

Okay, we'll go with that.

For about

Winnix and Post, thank you.

But for so long and seeing it, even like getting cast together and finally finding financing and the post of it, you just saw the special effects are so specific.

But getting it out there, it's a pretty vulnerable feeling, but I'm so stoked, guys.

It's so good.

I'm so stoked for people seeing it.

Because this movie is about channeling your feelings through art, through drawing, and those drawings coming to life, with things being as polarized as they are right now culturally, politically.

If you could draw anything that would come to life, what would you choose to draw?

Okay, you know what's super sad is I was just asked this question and I'm not kidding, the first thing that came to my mind was a McFlurry from McDonald's.

Yeah.

That's so cool.

And they said, they said, Tony, you can get one of those.

And I thought, yeah, do I want a relationship with it?

Like, I didn't know what I was trying to do, but that was the first thing.

I like a McFlurry, and I'd like to see a McFlurry come to life.

In addition to a big hug that hugs the world.

Yes.

That's ridiculous.

A big hug that hugs the world.

Just a big hug that hugs the world.

I was going to say myself myself on a unicorn, but I think a big hug that hugs the world, that's a much better answer.

It's kind of daunting.

I'll take it.

I'd say we could use it right now.

Congratulations on the movie.

Here is to a big hug that hugs the world.

Thank you.

I think you're about to give me a hug.
