The Daily Show - Season 31 Episode 101 : September 16, 2026 - Colin Kaepernick 2026

Pete Hegseth scouts troops with the ideal waist-to-height ratio for speech-prop duty, while Kash Patel defends looser FBI hiring standards with a suspiciously gentle line on bestiality. Josh Johnson covers Don Jr.’s Russian-funded wedding, as Don Jr.’s new wife clarifies it wasn’t all a bribe - just half. Ronny Chieng heads to a Canadian bar in New York to ask America’s northern neighbors how they feel about the unhinged bully downstairs, from Trump’s tariffs to 51st-state talk, inspiring the politest “fuck off” imaginable. Colin Kaepernick joins Johnson to discuss The Perilous Fight, 10 years since his anthem protest, why activism keeps society working, and what we risk by doing nothing.
