The Precap | Josh Johnson on Speedrunning the End of an Empire

January 20, 2026·58m

This week's Daily Show host Josh Johnson is joined by writer Nicole Conlan to recap the latest news, and preview what's yet to come. Together they try to wrap their heads around the "objectively bad" news cycle, including Trump's aggression toward Greenland, Venezuela, and the residents of Minnesota. They dig in to what individuals can to do be helpful wherever they are, and try to get inside the heads of agro, but outnumbered, ICE agents. Looking forward, they speculate on the upcoming Oscar nominations, and what else the news might have in store for us.
