About this episode

Josh Johnson and Joe Opio discuss recent news events and preview upcoming topics.

This week's host Josh Johnson sits down with Daily Show writer Joe Opio to recap the latest news, and preview the week to come. They break down the apathetic and conspiratorial reactions to the attack at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the unsurprising success of the 'Michael' movie, and a ridiculous case of bear-suit luxury car insurance fraud. Looking ahead they preview the UK royal family visit, and why anyone cares, and predict the next steps in the Iran war. -- 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.
