Trump Stumped by Worst-Case Iran Scenario & Hegseth Gives Bullying Pep Talk | Erika Alexander

It only took five days for America's war on Iran to go off the rails, as Trump ponders the worst-case scenario, a nepo baby emerges as a top candidate to lead Iran, Sen. Markwayne Mullin stumbles over his war semantics, and Michael Kosta challenges Pete Hegseth to rethink his villainous “no mercy” speech. Plus, a s**t-faced Grace Kuhlenschmidt nominates Trump as Iran’s new supreme leader. Josh Johnson breaks down the the messiest awards show ever, after a Tourette's syndrome activist involuntarily shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo while they presented onstage at the BAFTAs. And while the controversy sparked an internet war between Black Twitter and Neurodivergent TikTok, Josh urges everyone to turn their outrage to the real culprits, the BBC. Award-winning actor and star of the new NBC series, "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins," Erika Alexander, talks with Michael about returning to TV with a star-studded cast in her first mockumentary sitcom. She discusses how facing the discriminatory systems of Hollywood in the 90s after her starring run in "Living Single" led her to create opportunities for herself and marginalized communities through her production company, Color Farm Media, and shares advice for up-and-coming Black actors trying to make it in the entertainment industry: "present your authentic self... and haul ass." --- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow Right now, go to https://quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping and 365-day returns.
