“The News Has Sort Of GIven Up” - Desi Lydic On Media Coverage Of Stormy Daniels’ Testimony

[@asynchronicity]

Hope she continues to ascend. She is great!❤

[@cordobes171]

and HOT!

[@MacHeath699]

She’s proven herself an excellent interviewer during her hosting stints-well prepared, insightful, and focused on what the guest has to say rather than on how many snappy lines she can get off. Yes to her continued ascent!

[@franklin9400]

She did have 2 great truths. "It's nearly impossible to retire in this country" and "The media has given up". Both very true.

[@vegasj305]

Trump might give her a secretary job dressed like that!!

[@riparianlife97701]

Funnyhot.

[@teresasavi8821]

The Forrest Gump joke at the end was genius.

[@Ahzpayne]

Was it? Because a stage name isn't a character name. It would be more like if Stefani Germanotta took the stand against the dognapper and they announced her as Lady Gaga. Desi's point stands but it was poorly made.

[@wyskass861]

It was indeed funny, but also a valid point, I've thought about as well.

[@yubantwo2086]

Truly! It put the madness into focus.

[@wyskass861]

@@Ahzpayne This is true. Poor analogy for a good original point. Also like Sting or Cher, or the artist formerly known as prince.

[@L_M_V]

It wasn’t supposed to be a joke, more like a comparison….

[@august_frost]

So glad we've had Desi Lydic take a turn at hosting The Daily Show. Always on point!

[@kennethc2466]

I'm sickened that these people talk about 'can't ever retire', when Colbert makes $41,000 A DAY. EVERYDAY.

[@Tanagra180]

​@kennethc2466 Wow, how to respond? When you watch h comedy, there are these comments that you aren't supposed yo take at face value, called "jokes," you might want to look them up! 😅

[@kennethc2466]

@@Tanagra180 I'm sorry the facts required your bot account to defend the PUBLIC RECORD FACT of his $41,000 (plus) a day salary. Seems fishy.

[@lindas.8036]

Great dress!

[@brendantheprettygood]

How every comment is not about the dress I don’t know.

[@LordOfTheThreeWorlds]

Not so sure: perhaps a distraction from the down to earth, witty and intelligent character than to an empty s3x-bomb hollywod type. Creative yea but out of sync.

[@morgans4977]

​@@LordOfTheThreeWorlds why not both? Beauty is not incompatible with being down to earth and intelligent.

[@LordOfTheThreeWorlds]

@@morgans4977 Yes fully compatible. It's just my personal opinion on general modesty and desired messaging of a righteous individual. For example the most common use of particularly revealing attire is shallow, that beauty dose not require excessive display of the body, that since such beauty is not equally distributed to all beings where overdoing it can have the inverse effect. Just my opinion that leaving something to the imagination creates additional degree of attraction on it's own. Cheers and all the best :)

[@philledwith8307]

What an excellent interview. Desi Lydic's really been a revelation, she totally nailed this.

[@markfitzurka9995]

Desi is killing it in the last couple years. She is so funny. I love her and the writers. She delivers every time. In a pice or at the desk she is great. The daily show is back to great again thanks to Desi the writers, and the Correspondence. The pandemic was a bad time for everyone but I think the daily show was hit the hardest. I am so happy to see it didn’t die. It seems to have made a full recovery.

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Desi Lydic is a treasure!❤

[@frankov_83]

Thank you Sony for giving us the whole video now ❤

Or is it paramount. Reminds me of the anecdote about paramount taking over CBS Viacom and the year it took to change the email addresses. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGHCkoSZq7t-aLcsi=N7EYKOmHtjql1YcW

Give Desi the full time Daily Show host job!❤❤❤

[@KK-111]

Yes!!! :)

[@deebrady7135]

Love her, but actually like Jordan as host just a bit better.

[@RickLeBeau]

The Daily Show has such a rich stable of hosts to choose from. Jordan Klepper is incredible; Roy Wood Jr? Amazing! I don't catch the show every day, but there is no such thing as a bad host on The Daily Show.

[@dosadoodle]

All (most?) of the correspondents are sharing the hosting gig right now plus Jon Stewart. It's really a fresh strategy -- they all do a great job at it, and it's fun to have the rotation!

[@justayoutuber1906]

Women always want it longer

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Desi got some guts❤

[@carocary]

I could watch these two banter for days, love it!

[@The-AMP]

I actually would like for Desi to host more often, she is great at it.

[@LuukvdHoogen]

But her field pieces are so good though, the only ones I regularly go watch again and again. (daylight saving time, florida man). To much talent to just read jokes of a prompter.

[@Hriscanul]

she’s fkn delightful

[@MemoryAmethyst]

She specifically asked to be called Stormy Daniels. My guess is that it is protect her daughter by having her legal name disassociated with her legal battle and her work life.

[@3souris]

That hadn't occurred to me, but Stormy does seem to be good protective mother, unwilling to drag the 'Clifford' name through Trump's sleaze. I wonder if Cary Grant ever got involved in a politically motivated hush money sex scandal, if he'd request using his legal name, Archie Leach, to spare his young daughter her name. (I don't know how common the 'Leach' name is in the UK, but it has never sounded too difficult to sully.)

[@chriskelly6559]

Her legal name has been out there for years, and you can Google it. Jeez.

[@Darbobski]

Asked who?

[@LordOfTheThreeWorlds]

@@Darbobski Easily she would have mentioned her preference to the many news publications, producers and interviewers over the last 10 years

[@Darbobski]

@@LordOfTheThreeWorlds That preference would have nothing to do with her persona in a court proceeding. Also, do you have evidence of her request or are you making a broad assumption that the entirety of the media is somehow adhering to that assumed request? Why wouldn't it make far more sense that the Media wants clicks and that "Stephanie Clifford" just doesn't bring enough attention?

[@JDRichard]

She is a remarkable host

[@cpmf2112]

Sure, if "sort of" means "completely" 😂

[@sarianhoufis7539]

Desi Lydic is the BEST!!

[@Kaisersozze]

Killer dress.

[@channarosenblatt8197]

Desi, Stormy was given a choice at start of trial whether she wanted to be addressed as Stephanie Clifford or Stormy Daniels. She chose 'Stormy Daniels' herself. It wasn't a choice made by someone else.

[@abc-bu7nr]

C'mon She's a comedian

Thanks for posting the full segment #TheLateShowwithStephenColbert 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@datagrl]

[@carsonkahla9162]

I’d honestly never even thought about how they/we continue to use her stage name instead of her legal name despite this being a legal case and her being retired for years now

[@CannabisAndCancer]

She has stated numerous times including in court she prefers to be called Stormy Daniels.

[@OperationBaboon]

[@sharplessguy]

Desi deserves her own show

[@gaborjurina2839]

Desi Lydic is my favourite host on the daily show, her interviews with guests are very well-researched, Desi engages the guests in thought-provoking and nuanced dialogue, superior to any actual news program on the cable news networks.

[@jonunciate7018]

Always love her segments. She's a great host too.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

It would be more like Marion Morrison whose working life name was John Wayne. It would be weird for the press to refer to John Wayne as Marion Morrison when the whole knew him as John Wayne. Same with Stormy Daniels. She is known as Stormy not as whatever her other name is.

[@steve-sc1st]

Excellent point!

[@pandemicentitlements5198]

Desi never fails to impress - funny as fk, quick as a whip and though she's gorgeous, she has a self-abrasiveness to her own whiteness. Amazing!

[@FlankyFrankie]

2:15 Uhhh Stormy herself said she wants to be called Stormy Daniels. So, yeah, that's why everyone calls her Stormy Daniels.

[@KiloMintoni-kg4kn]

Nope.

Very sharp and picks up on every nuance in any conversation. Beauty and brains; her husband is a super lucky dude..

[@shadygrove]

Desi’s observation that Clifford be called Stormy Daniels is like Tom Hanks taking the stand as Forest Gump provided the perfect comedic note for the segment to end on! Bravo, Desi! Great segment and congrats on your great work at The Daily Show - the TDS we all deserve to cherish.

[@zulubunsen9067]

Desi is not completely correct on the analogue between the names Stormy Daniels and Forrest Gump. The latter is a character's name, the former is an alias, a professional name at that. Calling her Stormy Daniels is more akin to calling Nicolas Kim Coppola "Nicolas Cage", which is his professional name and is generally known by.

[@johnstarrett3397]

Yes Desi yes. Funny, smart and smokin hot. Reeediculous ❤
