The Daily Show: May 13, 2026 - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Overview

Jordan Klepper covers Trump calling a reporter a "dumb person" over questions about his expanding ballroom project and dives into the president's CEO-filled trip to a major summit in China. Back home, MAGA turns on Don Jr. and Eric's Trump Mobile phone company over unfulfilled orders affecting about 600,000 people. Though the Constitution bars Trump from another term, he keeps "joking" about a 2028 run. Lenard McKelvey (aka "Charlamagne Tha God") examines how Republicans brush off the third-term talk while dodging whether Trump is bound by the 22nd Amendment. Also, Neil deGrasse Tyson joins Jordan to discuss alien etiquette, UFOs, flat-earthers, pop culture's alien mistakes, and his new book, "Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter".
