Late night was largely off last week, but The Daily Show was around to tackle such issues as the right's 'DEI' attack on Harris.
Summer vacation continued for much of late night last week. But two programs soldiered on as the rest of the shows presumably prepare for the Democratic Convention next week and the end of summer.Charlamagne Tha God was back behind the desk.
Charlamagne then went on to address the idea that Harris did not do enough as vice president, or the notion that she should have used the position to define herself. “Remember that one big thing she did,” he asks. “Me neither!” But Charlamagne goes on to make the point that vice presidents are supposed to exist in the background as a safety net. “A VP is like a carbon monoxide detector,” he said. “You want to have one, but if it makes any noise, something has gone wrong.
On the Democratic side, Grace Kuhlenschmidt attended a Harris rally in Philadelphia, where Walz was introduced as her running mate. “So how excited are you about Tim Walz,” Kuhlenschmidt asked, “on a scale from ‘Joe Biden is running for president’ to ‘Joe Biden just dropped out?’”, especially on the island of Maui, to look into the history of the state and in particular the egregious treatment of the native people who live on the land.
Oliver made a particular point to highlight the relationship between tourists and the local population. Yes, tourism is an essential industry. But too often, tourists are completely ignorant of the history of the land on which they vacation, and issues like the ongoing affordable housing crisis on the island, for example. “For native Hawaiians, it must be difficult to shake the feeling that you’re an afterthought,” he said.
