The Daily Show Episode 30.121 October 29, 2025 - Aubrey Plaza & Dan Murphy

Desi Lydic covers Trump's state visit to South Korea, where he was honoured with a "Yas King" rally, a golden crown, and the unofficial U.S. presidential anthem, "YMCA". Meanwhile, millions of Trump's constituents face a hunger crisis as SNAP benefits run out of funding due to the never-ending shutdown, and the GOP pretends there's nothing they can do about it. Michael Kosta has a list of billionaire sugar daddies who are happy to step in and help, as long as Americans don't mind getting a little freaky. Democrats have been riding high since the success of the "No Kings" protests and the emergence of Democratic prospects like Zohran Mamdani. But why is the Democratic Party so afraid to harness this energy? Lenard McKelvey (aka "Charlamagne Tha God") breaks down how to swap this tired system for an energetic change. Emmy-nominated actor Aubrey Plaza and writer-producer Dan Murphy join Desi Lydic to discuss their new children's book, "Luna and the Witch Throw a Hallowe'en Party".
