What special highlights does The Daily Show offer for the holidays?
Hey everyone, Desi Lydic here. The Daily Show is on break for the holidays, but in the meantime, we put together some special highlights for you. We'll be back in the new year on January 7th with all new episodes.
He was a poll worker doing his part in a local election. No matter who you voted for, democracy wins. Shut up. She was a self-appointed election monitor. He's harvesting ballots! That's voter fraud! Ballot mule! 2,000 mules! 2,000 mules! Hey! I got one! I've got one! But when a mandatory recount brought them together...
You can't take these boats. Like hell I can't. These are made of Chinese bamboo. You can't fool me. They belong here.
Underneath this randomly hung mistletoe. Now this holiday, they'll both be learning how to steal each other's hearts. But how can two people share a life together when they can't share a democracy? Christmastown has a new mayor. It came down to one final ballot. And the final vote is for the Democrat.
You. You rigged the election and ruined Christmas.
Honey, just because the Republican lost doesn't mean it was rigged.
The only loss here is you losing me. Oh, man.
This is really a low part in our story. When elections hopes are lost, sometimes all you need is a Christmas miracle. Get ready, boys. We're going in. Excuse me. You got room for one more patriot at this insurrection?
You brought zip ties.
If we're going to do this, we're going to do it together. This holiday season, make sure you cast a vote for love. She was a single mom hoping for a Christmas miracle. Hi, do you have time for a charity? He was a regular Joe trying to do the right thing. And this Christmas, they're going to find love in the most magical place.
How dare you teach my child about critical race theory? You are ruining America.
How do holiday movies reflect political themes?
Ma'am. Ma'am. Please calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down, you woke elitist. And why don't you take that mask off? Take it off and face me like a man. And keep it off. Looks like Santa came early this year.
Now this holiday, they'll both be learning CRT, Christmas Romance Theory. You know, oat milk is more sustainable than almond milk.
Ugh, shut your cuck mouth and kiss me.
But can two people who don't agree on history ever have a future?
Does your sweater say happy holidays?
Yeah, it's more inclusive.
You never understood me. Or Christmas.
Oh, man. We're never gonna end up together now. This season, one man will have to put Christmas over reason. Since our last school board meeting, which was only this morning, can you believe that? So much has happened. I've learned that one thing is more important than teaching children about their own country's history. And that one thing is love. So tonight, the school board is announcing that we are putting love back into the curriculum. What? And it will replace all the lessons about slavery. We're overruling that. No, he doesn't have the power to do that. Why does he have a gavel? This is a school board meeting. Don't miss the movie event of the season. I got you this.
To burn.
Merry Christmas. Fascists. A School Board Christmas.
She was a big city career gal in the big city with a career. And she was sparkling with holiday spirit. This year sucked. I just can't wait to go home and hide from the world. But to fully embrace this Christmas season, she had to leave the cold, heartless city and head to her charming small hometown.
So what do you want to do, kiddo?
I want to move to Canada, Dad. I'm not kidding.
After all, tis the season to fall in love.
me. Christine. Scott? You're back in small townsville. Would you want to go ice skating with me later today?
No. I'm not doing this whole thing. Not this year. Bye.
Sometimes the thing you need the most is waiting for you back home.
Hey, it's in the neighborhood. It got me thinking that the cosmos is complicated.
I'll take this, though. It might not be the Christmas she expected, but magic is in the air.
Yum. Thank you. The secret ingredient to all my pies is love. You know Christmas time is the best time to fall in love. Not this year. Not this year.
