About this episode

Vic and Chandler discuss a pivotal week of 'The Daily Show' featuring notable political commentary and guest appearances.

JULY 20, 2021 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It's a week that borders on must see TV, as Jon's headlines hit a new high water mark in a week that covers Richard Clark's journey to Washington, an all timer appearance by almost Daily Show host Al Franken and the debut of a new bumper that shows kids as pundits who says the darndest things. Meanwhile in 2021, the boys breakdown the latest variants dropping, billionaires going to space and the momentary social media ban of MTG. The Daily Show Weekly: A Vic and Chandler Rewatch is an unofficial fan podcast designed to serve as a critical companion to the "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", which belongs to Comedy Central and can be watched in clips at CC.com. Our thoughts and criticism are intended to offer historical reflection and enhance the viewing experience for new and old fans journeying through Jon Stewart's seminal talk show run. Our awesome album artwork is designed by Felipe Flores Comics, and our theme music is by Michael Turnage! #PoliticsTrumpsMorality
