About this episode

Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta weigh in on RFK Jr. shortlisting Aaron Rodgers as his VP pick, South Dakota governor Kristy Noem doing sponcon for a Texas dentist, and Ronny Chieng calls on America to step up its misinformation game after the House passed a bill to ban TikTok. Plus, from Elon Musk's anti-woke AI fail, to altered images of historical figures, Lewis Black has the solutions in the latest Back in Black. And Tony Award-winning actor, comedian, and star of the new film “The American Society of Magical Negroes” David Alan Grier stops by to discuss how his latest project satirizes the “magical negro” trope in film and TV, his experience auditioning for those types of roles in Hollywood, and the enduring legacy of “In Living Color.”
