Jon starts the show off talking about how Al Qaeda just might be a U.S. ally against Iran. Then, Jon complains about the democratic race dragging on. Also, Jon talks about the food shortages happening in the world in a segment called "Dude, Where's my Carbs". Aasif Mandvi reports from East Africa about the food shortage there while Rob Riggle covers the rationing of rice at big box stores (despite the US not having a shortage). Finally, Jon reviews John McCain's interview with George Stephanopoulos.



Colin Firth comes on the show to promote his new movie Then She Found Me and shares an embarrassing story.

The Daily Show Show Summary

Forget the 24 hour biased left wing news media, the best fake news show in the world will provide you with all the news you can handle.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view.

In each show anchorman Trevor Noah and a team of correspondents comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures.
