The Daily Show: June 9, 2026 - Laverne Cox
Overview
The New York Knicks took an L in Game 3 of the NBA Finals while Trump took a nap — and he’s turning a blind eye to another loss: Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral race. As Pratt’s numbers lag and the ballot count drags on, Trump cries “rigged election,” but Troy Iwata reminds everyone this is just how L.A. counts votes, so chill. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg’s gone from boy-genius coder to Metaverse king to Trump-world bestie. Follow his transformation from dorm-room entrepreneur to sci-fi overlord in The Daily Showography of Mark Zuckerberg: Human Status Update. Then award-winning actress and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox joins Desi to discuss her memoir Transcendent, childhood trauma, the healing power of creativity, and the coordinated attacks on trans rights unfolding in real time.
