A rare appearance in these posts of The Tonight Show. Malcolm Gladwell visited the program on March 18, promoting a documentary film called Autonomy. The film focuses on self-driving cars, and Gladwell was an executive producer.
On the March 20 edition of Full Frontal, Sasheer Zameta presented a segment on Afrofuturism and technology’s racial bias.
Regrettably, recent events have kept me way behind on watching the late night programs. Here are some recent clips worth passing along.
The late February news about climate change doubter William Happer being appointed to a presidential panel on climate change sparked some late night comments. The Daily Show addressed it on February 21st (along with news about Google ‘inadvertently’ spying on its customers and new foldable smartphones)
The Late Show mentioned the appointment twice during its February 22nd episode. Once in the cold open and again during the monologue. And the show touched on the current state of the debate over renaming non-dairy ‘milks’ during its Meanwhile… segment.
Finally, Lewis Black had a few choice words for those who choose not to vaccinate on the February 27 edition of The Daily Show. Given the recent outbreaks in the U.S., I can empathize with him.
