The Daily Show‘s Hasan Minhaj Mocks Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon in 2017 Recap Special
In The Daily Show‘s “The Yearly Show” special, correspondent Hasan Minhaj roasted some of the biggest names in cable news.
Minhaj first targeted Fox News, which he referred to as his “favorite after school hangout for accused sex offenders.” He claimed that Sean Hannity became “the new face of Fox News” by “default” because after the wave of sex scandals, the only people left at the network were him and “the sound guy.”
He recalled his “top Fox moment” of the year was when Hannity shared conspiracy charts on Hillary Clinton.
“That chart had everything!” Minhaj exclaimed. “I love how Hannity is trying to go all True Detective on us, but it really looks like an ex-football coach is trying to sell you time shares.”
Minhaj asked if Hannity is the “king of rightwing crazy,” who’s the “new emerging queen?”
“Please welcome to cable news… Tomi Lahren,” he answered.
He moved on to MSNBC and ridiculed Rachel Maddow for her over-hyped ‘exclusive” of President Trump‘s tax returns.
“Do you remember how excited we were? “Like this was the liberal Super Bowl party!” he said. “MSNBC, please stop hyping things up and under-delivering. It’s the news, not the Justice League movie, okay?”
Minhaj pivoted to CNN’s Don Lemon, who he mocked for being “so serious” during his “lemon squeezy” exchange with the Roy Moore surrogate as well for his drunken episode while appearing in CNN’s New Years special last year.
“That’s why Muslims don’t drink!” Minhaj continued. “By the way, that was before Trump became president! So this year, I can’t wait to see Don Lemon’s New Years Eve nipple ring.”
