Latest in The Daily Social Distancing Show

The news was shocking. Santa Claus, that jolly old Saint Nicholas, has resigned. Taking his place? Black Santa, aka, “Saint Vick.” Investigative reporter Roy Wood Jr. took the Daily Social Distancing Show audience inside this transfer of power. What he found was somewhat disturbing. “St. Nicholas is a good man,” said…

Trevor Noah thinks President Donald Trump is “a man in a bar fight with reality.” That’s after the most recent turn-down by a higher court to hear appeals on the election. The Supreme Court on Tuesday tersely turned back a petition from Trump ally Rep. Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican. Kelly argued that almost…

Trevor Noah’s focus tonight was on the coronavirus, which he called “The outbreak that’s harder to get rid of than the college buddy crashing on your couch.” Noah pointed out that past stay-at-home orders reduced the pandemic by 17 percent in New York. “Normally when something is beaten that badly in NY, it’s the…

Trevor Noah and his comedy team had some fun on the last night of the Democratic convention, tossing a few zingers at the serious doings on Zoom. The Democrats are the target this week, followed by the Republicans next Monday, Aug. 24-27. A few of the Daily Social Distancing Show bits posted today: Damn this was…

You might have detected a whiff of discord in the American Experiment of late. As citizens, groups, politicians and most everyone digests, deals with and/or takes a side on the racial issues roiling the country, one prominent politician went on record last week to label slavery a “necessary evil.” Actually, GOP Sen. To…

Fox News’ Chris Wallace scored a rare sit-down with President Donald Trump over the weekend, and it’s fair to say that POTUS didn’t exactly sail through it. Trevor Noah examined that interview on Monday’s edition of The Daily Social Distancing Show. Calling Wallace “the only reporter at Fox News who isn’t trying to…

Twitter was scrambling today to contain the fallout from a major embarrassment, as the accounts of such prominent people as Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos and Barack Obama all were victimized by a bitcoin scam that promised the unwary a chance to double their money. Fortunately, Trevor Noah somehow avoided the hack…

Hillary Clinton was the guest Monday on The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah, and the former Secretary of State and presidential candidate talked about Donald Trump, Roger Stone, voter suppression and the one thing on everyone’s mind — what she’s been up to in isolation. After discussing the 100th…

Joe Biden claimed today at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania that the coronavirus is responsible for 120 million deaths. And while he’s a tad off in his estimate – okay, more than a tad off – he joins the many people who are struggling to make sense of a disease that apparently has no quit in it. Trevor Noah focused on…

The comedy fallout over President Donald Trump’s less-than-perfect rally Saturday continued apace tonight as Trevor Noah weighed in. During his monologue for The Daily Social Distancing Show, the host fairly reveled in the embarrassingly low turnout that reportedly (gasp!) made POTUS furious. “Aww, poor Trump,” Noah…

John Bolton, described as a full-time “Got Milk” ad by Trevor Noah, has a new book expected to be out soon, The Room Where It Happened. No, it’s not an homage to the musical Hamilton, which has a song of roughly the same name. But the bits that have leaked from it do provide a bit of entertainment in its deliciously…

An angry and exasperated Trevor Noah used his Daily Social Distancing Show monologue Monday to decry the killing of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police over the weekend. “He’s broken some law — a law not worth dying for. I think we can all agree on that,” the Comedy Central host said. Then he got to his first point…
