On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The show writes, "As candidates make their closing arguments to voters ahead of Election Day, Jon is joined by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to talk about the state of his race in the final stretch. Together, they discuss how his family’s immigrant background shaped his politics, the case he's making to skeptical voters, and the disconnect between the issues dominating media coverage and the concerns Michiganders are raising on the ground. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about AI-generated music, fake polls, and fake news!



 
 

The past two weeks, I wrote about the wonderfully funny Cunk on... fake-documentaries that Diane Morgan stars in as 'Philomena Cunk' on the BBC. And I posted the first two, 30-minute episodes of the Cunk on Britain series. (If you missed the article, you can find it and the videos here.  And Episodes 3 and 4 are here. Today we have the finale. I'm unable to embed it -- due to age restrictions -- but you can watch it on YouTube by following the link below.


This is Episode 5.

On this week’s Naked Lunch podcast, co-hosts Phil Rosenthal and David Wild welcome Emmy and Grammy-nominated comedian, actress, author, musician and activist Margaret Cho -- and her dog Lucia, too.  As the show writes, they have “a funny and provocative conversation about comedy and life and so many more far-ranging topics. Margaret reads a passage from her best-selling I'm The One That I Want, and shares amazing stories about her mother, singing on The Masked Singer, being inspired by Joan Rivers and Robin Williams, and working with John Travolta and Nic Cage on John Woo's Face/Off.”
