Jordan Klepper dives into Trump's freshly signed peace deal that makes Iran $400 billion richer, the president's sudden change of heart about letting Iran have missiles, and conservatives calling out Trump’s failure to achieve anything from the war. And while this conflict demonstrated that the U.S. can’t just force its will onto every country all the time, Josh Johnson thinks he can strongarm Iran into an even better deal.

Former federal workers who lost their jobs to Elon Musk’s DOGE-ing spree are taking another stab at working for the government that humiliated them by running for Congress.

In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York F**king Knicks! While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel s**ts for the rest of your life. Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova sit down with Desi Lydic to discuss their new Netflix documentary, “Chris & Martina: The Final Set.” They reflect on the fame, sacrifices, and loneliness they both experienced as teenagers while also helping put women’s tennis on the map, and how their fierce rivalry of nearly 20 years evolved into deep friendship and helping each other through their respective cancer diagnoses.

Actor and producer Nina Dobrev sits down with Desi to discuss starring in the crime thriller, “The Get Out.” They talk about the joy of playing a buttoned-up bank teller who’s totally unhinged, awkward make-out scenes with her co-star and longtime friend Aaron Paul, and channeling her wild side swimming with sharks, skydiving, and dirt biking.
