This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.
It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.
I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Even though the word ‘radical’ sounds cool, I honestly find it an offensive label if the main things you stand for human rights, stand against things like genocide and class warfare and the demonization and othering of oppressed minorities. I don’t think that’s radical, that’s called basic decency.
