In this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith with..., Kyle speaks with The Daily Show's Desi Lydic about the comedy news program and its coverage of the 2024 United States Presidential election.

The comedian discusses her journey from being obsessed with late '90s Saturday Night Live to finding her own comedy path after moving to Los Angeles. She touches on her roles in Not Another Teen Movie, Legally Blonde 2, and MTV’s Awkward.

Lydic goes on to talk about auditioning three times for The Daily Show before getting the nod just as Trevor Noah became the host. She also chats about what it was like during 2023’s celebrity-hosted rotating desk era, as well as the where the show stands now. The two then touch on Mitch McConnell’s announcement that he’s stepping back, women’s reproductive rights, and her recent interview with Jason Isbell.
