When the highlight of your week is Dave Grohl wearing a funny hat, you have to know you're in trouble. Chris O'Donnell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Roshumba also guest, but does that matter. We're about to drop some science on you.

JUNE 19, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Is an era ending, or is it just in our imagination? As Ben Karlin settles into his role as Head Writer, key elements of the Jonny Stew are changing, including the launch of the iconic TDS series, Indecision 2000. Plus, Carell offers Colbert a masterclass in commitment, Mo Rocca begs Al Gore for fashion tips and Beth Littleford sadly appears to be fading into the background.

June 18, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In the wake of the tragic shooting of a Congressional baseball game, it is certainly nice to dive back in time and escape the divisiveness. In '99, Steve Carell continues to knock segments out of the park (dating a toll booth worker and humping Vance's wife along the way), and Lewis Black teases us with a little bit of Trump 2000. Rebecca Gayheart, Steven Wright, Amy Brenneman and Melissa Gilbert guest, and in a shocking turn of events – a former Jon Stewart love affair comes crashing down in an epic interview blow-up! It is jawdropping.

Scott White is a stand-up and improviser who has long mastered the technique of telling it like it is. In a total rip off of Lewis Black's Back in Black, we've got Scott "Whack in" White raging against millennial comedians, holy-than-thou food connoisseurs, and old people gym buddies. Plus, we share a number of wild news stores with Scott, which certainly gets his blood boiling. Honest and hilarious, Scott Blanco never pulls a punch and may even make you think. Maybe we'll do this one-off again. Originally record June 20, 2017. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

June 12, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! God rest ye, merry man of Bats. As Adam West passes, so does the much-maligned Daily Show '99 Batman Recap. Stephen Colbert is sweating his recent connections with crows, Lewis Black falls deeply in love a chair, and Donald Trump crashes our past with his continual flirting with the running for president on the Reform party ticket. Leave us in peace! Greg Proops, Brooke Shields, Molly Shannon and according to Jon, Maury Povich is "the man."

June 11, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Boy, how about that Infrastructure Week, huh? Just kidding - 2017 is all about one very rigid former head of the FBI, James Comey - and his now protracted war with the sitting President. Grab your popcorn, you're gonna need it! Back in time, things are also heating up: we've got more political stoves in the fire than ever: Bush and Gore are coming into full swing, couch favorite Norm returns to the program and the gang's all here as Jon, Vance, Steve, Mo and Stephen hold a literal symposium on Media Responsibility - featuring a very surprising cameo from a future TDS running gag! Plus, guest spots from Melissa Joan Hart, Richard Lewis, Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney, and at long last: Jon praises another John, a man who'd turn out to be a pal until TDS signs off.

June 5, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It was a big week for comedians of 2017, as both Kathy Griffin and Bill Maher received rather public undressings for controversial jokes they made – and needless to say, opinions are had. In '99, history is definitely made as the power couple of Colbert and Carell debut Even Stephven. Both a parody of cable news and a foray into pairing correspondents, the segment is the dawn of an era and perhaps the most iconic moment thus far. Andy Richter, Donny and Marie Osmond, Dave Chappelle, and Steve Zahn guest as Carell humps a desk and Donald J Trump takes the moral high ground.

June 4, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Trump is pulling out... of the Climate Accords, which is anything but cool. But for the first time in a long time, '99 has some focus, offering up two themed episodes: The Canada Episode and The Hurricane Episode. David Cross gives Floyd the business, Beth takes her crack at the host's chair and Steve Carell gives you every inch of this eyeballs during an unforgettable musical number. Elayne Boosler, Tom Green, and Jason Priestley guest, and Jon learns the literal sound of five people not clapping - and it's rough.

Recorded June 5th 2017. Award-winning Playwright TJ Young stops by to talk all about his favorite childhood series CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS, in prep of the new Kevin Hart-Ed Helm movie. Full spoilers for the 12-book series, as we drudge up a list of gotta-haves for this big screen adaptions - flip-o-rama, tons of villains and plenty of smart toilet humor.

May 28, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It's the #POTUSAbroad Trump's European Vacation Spectacular! One night he's getting fat shamed by the Pope, the other he's touching glowing orbs with Saudis and seemingly not knowing where Israel is. What more could you want from our loveable ol' dictator? Back in '99, we'd kill for this much comedy oxygen. Yet even in the light weeks, we've got Stacey Grenrock's hot-to-employ phone sex voice, Lewis Black's existential crisis and Steve Carell's brand new character: Clarice, the sexy 40-year-old divorcee. Carson Daly, Molly Ringwald, French Stewart, Cheryl Ladd, LL Cool J, Dwight Yoakam, Nia Long guest and Jon gets put his Quasimodo-like place by his could-have-been Sex in the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker.
