several luxury gifts and trips over the last two decades. Wood couldn’t help but wonder why this man spent so much money on one justice, when he could’ve had another for a lot less.In a bombshell report from ProPublica released Thursday, it was revealed that Harlan Crow, the real estate magnate and Republican megadonor who bankrolled a documentary about Thomas that got consideration for a 2020 Oscar, also provided decades’ worth of undisclosed luxury vacations to the Supreme Court justice.In the report, Crow claimed he’s never tried to influence Thomas’ opinion on any cases or issues, and at that, Wood had a good laugh.“I’m sure this billionaire Republican didn’t want to influence nobody.

“The Daily Show” guest host Roy Wood Jr. is looking into where former First Lady Melania Trump has gone since she wasn’t present Tuesday for Trump’s arraignment or later for his speech at Mar-a-Lago.First the comedian pondered whether Trump’s remarks about the presiding judge having a “Trump-hating wife” were even really an insult.“Donald Trump also has a Trump-hating wife,” Wood Jr. said.

Leslie Jones is ready.The comedian revealed to People that she wants to be considered as the new host of “The Daily Show.”“It definitely should be a black woman,” the 55-year-old said.“It would be great to have a black woman on late night. It’s time.

After Trevor Noah announced his departure from “The Daily Show”, Leslie Jones became the first of numerous revolving guest hosts to fill in until a permanent host is hired, a roster that has included the likes of comedians Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer to former U.S. Senator Al Franken.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jack Black confirmed in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight that he’s planning to reunite with his younger “School of Rock” co-stars later this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the comedy’s release. Various cast members have reunited over the years, but it sounds like Black is plotting an epic reunion to celebrate 20 years of “School of Rock.” “All those kids — dig this — they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they’re all, like, 30,” Black said. “We’re gonna get together and have a 20-year anniversary. We like to jam. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the grownups from ‘School of Rock.'” Black added that he will “100 percent” use social media to upload photos and videos from the upcoming reunion. “School Rock,” directed by Richard Linklater and written by “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, starred Black as Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck guitarist who puts together a makeshift band of kid musicians while substitute teaching at a prep school. White, Sarah Silverman and Joan Cusack also starred in the film, while the child actors included Miranda Cosgrove.

Jon Stewart returned to the anchor's desk on Tuesday. The 60-year-old comedian made a surprise appearance on which he hosted from 1999-2005 before Trevor Noah took the chair for seven years, to give guest host Roy Wood Jr.

charged with 34 felonies for, among other things, conduct related to the hush money payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels, using campaign funds, in 2016.Wood was, at that point, focused on the fact that Trump got to skip most of the indignities accused felons normally face after surrendering to police– for instance, he wasn’t handcuffed, authorities didn’t take a mug shot, and he wasn’t strip searched, as is normal procedure in most jurisdictions including New York.“For the sake of this country, I hope Donald Trump gets a swift trial. But that doesn’t mean he should get to use the TSA pre-check. But, here’s the good news: The New York investigation is just one of many into the former president,” Wood said.

The Daily Show used to have a white host?

Joe Otterson TV Reporter Amazon is developing a series version of the Philip K. Dick novel “Clans of the Alphane Moon,” Variety has learned exclusively. The project is being developed under Electric Shepherd Productions and Patrick Moran’s first look deals with Amazon Studios. Moran, via Patrick Moran Productions, is executive producing the project along with John Leguizamo, as well as as Isa Dick Hakcett, the CEO of Electric Shepherd. Bradley Kaplan will also executive produce. “Clans of the Alphane Moon” is described as a “a subversive, genre-bending, sci-fi comedy about desperately trying to escape, and ultimately having to embrace our flaws, told through the prism of a Latinx family en route to a new, faraway moon.”

his week of guest hosting “The Daily Show” on Monday, and naturally, he had some fun with the news of Trump’s indictment. Though he criticized the fact that Trump is being arraigned “like he’s a normal person,” Wood couldn’t help but be delighted by the fact that he’ll still have to provide a DNA sample.“If you think about it, that’s kind of how he got into this mess in the first place,” Wood joked.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Al Franken spent nine years as a U.S. Senator from Minnesota, and it all finally paid off in recent weeks when he logged a stint as a guest host on “The Daily Show.” Franken turned in some robust impressions of Charles Schumer, Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins during one sketch on the Comedy Central program that suggested he was taking some pretty interesting notes when he served in that chamber. “I didn’t give them a heads up,” Franken says in a recent interview, after his run. “I served wth those people. Some I could do. I’m not one othose impressionists who can do everyone. I do who I can do.” While Franken is one of a number of noted hosts who have helped the show keep spinning after the depature last year of Trevor Noah, you might say he has been training for such an appearance for much of his professional life. Franken made some famous appearances on the long-running “Weekend Update” segment of “Saturday Night Live,” and, after a few stints on the show as a writer and performer, tried his hand at other exploits. He led comedic coverage of the the run-up to the 1992 presidential election for Comedy Central, presaging efforts to do so by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. He later became a progressive radio host for Air America. In recent months, he has been doing a comedy tour around the nation.

Today’s indictment of Donald Trump quickly became tonight’s punchline for TV’s late-night hosts.

reported on Wednesday that a federal judge has ordered Pence to testify specifically in regards to the twice-impeached former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, in which he lost to Joe Biden. During Wednesday night’s episode of “The Daily Show,” guest host John Leguizamo pulled up a clip from CNN’s reporting, in which it was noted that Pence will likely need to answer questions about private conversations he had with Trump leading up to January 6, including ones where Trump berated him.“Oh come on man, don’t make Pence say all the names that Trump called him,” Leguizamo said.

Paramount and Hasbro eOne with the greatest of intentions have created an extremely fun, broad-audience appealing feature take on the classic roleplaying game, entitled Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which already is 90% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes –not an easy feat with a genre movie of this caliber– and 94% with moviegoers.

Ana Navarro switched up “The View” for “The Daily Show” to talk politics with guest host John Leguizamo Monday night — but not before dragging the Comedy Central series for taking 10 guest hosts before finally hiring a Latino.“Let’s not f–k it up,” she quipped. Leguizamo, most recently seen in hit feature films like “The Menu” and “Encanto” and next in “The Power” on Amazon’s Prime Video, began the interview by applauding the fact that “The Daily Show” was spotlighting a “Latina guest and a Latino host” side by side.

Trevor Noah is heading home after leaving The Daily Show.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Showing off your late-night hosting skills when you have just four days to do so can be daunting. So Kal Penn brought his ‘A’ game. The actor used his unique connections to the White House — he was an associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs during the Obama administration — to deliver a hard-to-get booking to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” When Penn recently guest-hosted the program, his first night featured a sit-down with President Joe Biden. How did he land POTUS? Penn simply asked — but made clear he planned to ask questions the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t usually get during a media scrum. “I definitely wanted him to join me in setting up what I hope was a hopeful arc over the week,” says Penn, who asked Biden to discuss how young people’s advocacy can spur change on climate, drilling, and human rights. Biden also offered about his views on same-sex marriage and the treatment of transgender children, among other topics.
