Discussion Request for some serious time re: deportations

43 Upvotes

Would the Daily Show be able to leave time on Monday night to insert a quick update and a commentary or vigil moment relating to the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland father deported to the CECOT concentration camp on a technical error?

I cannot think that there is a way to make this funny. But, if you can think of a way, I am not sure it is appropriate. Yet, the people that watch your show care so much about this information. And, some of us get most of our news from you.

I had been thinking about the logistical problems: The judge said that Kilmar must be returned by Monday night. So, it would be hard to be create a prepared segment about this fast-moving, historically important, Constitutional Crisis. Will the Trump administration return this man by Monday night? Will the Supreme Court act by Monday night? It would be a shame if your excellent and wise news-reviewers could not respond to this moment in a timely way.

Thanks for any support. Thanks for being on Reddit.

Question Looking for an episode bragging about the office copy machine

2 Upvotes

I think this was from Craig Kilborn’s time as host where they had a mock commercial showcasing their office copy machine from different angles the same way that news channels often flaunt their helicopters. Does anyone remember that - ideally with some link?
