‘Daily Show’ Clowns Trump’s Startled Reaction to Flyover
“The Daily Show” clowned President Trump’s startled reaction to a planned flyover of B-1 bombers, joking that it was “not a good omen” for his negotiations this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Xi arrived in Washington, D.C. this week for his first state visit to the United States in over 10 years. To commemorate the occasion, Trump and his presidential detail arrived at the runway to welcome Xi right after he walked off his plane. “Daily Show” host Desi Lydic was impressed by the gesture.
“Trump picked him up at the airport? Okay. That is friendship,” the “Daily Show” comedian joked. Lydic went on to note that the Trump administration planned a flyover of B-1 bombers as part of his airport pickup of the Chinese president. Unfortunately, Trump was caught visibly wincing when the jets flew over him and Xi, while the latter remained unfazed.
“Oh my God, that is so embarrassing! Why did you wince like that? You are the one who ordered the flyover!” Lydic said in response, adding, “It’s like when a baby farts so loud that it scares itself.”

Lydic continued to mock Trump for his reaction to the flyover, accusing him of failing to get Xi’s state visit off on the right foot.
“This was not a good omen for negotiations with China. There are major issues at stake: trade, AI, the war with Iran,” she observed. “Now, President Xi knows all he has to do to rattle Trump is drop a book on the floor.”
During a press conference Thursday in Washington, Xi announced that, as a gesture of goodwill, two giant pandas would be arriving in the U.S. soon from China. Lydic, for her part, sarcastically celebrated the gesture.
“Hell yeah! We got pandas!” the “Daily Show” comedian said. “Sure, China’s pushing us out of the Pacific, seizing the global economy, reducing us to a second-rate power, but pandas! Whoo!”
Later, Lydic welcomed “Daily Show” correspondent and frequent guest host Jordan Klepper to check in on how Xi’s visit to the U.S. has been going. As usual, Klepper looked for the bright side.
“The leader of China was greeted by an old man scared of loud noises then driven past a drained Reflecting Pool into the half-demolished ruins of the White House,” Klepper recapped. “It’s an utter humiliation for America, so it’s going exactly as planned, and once again, President Trump is a genius!”

Jeremy Clarkson Developing Ambitious Show To Follow ‘Clarkson’s Farm’
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that he his thinking about life after Diddly Squat Farm.
The British presenter has just wrapped Season 6 of Clarkson’s Farm for Amazon Prime Video, but said he was uncertain about whether the show would continue for another season (though he did not completely rule out a renewal).
Speaking at the Royal Television Society London Convention, Clarkson said his thoughts had turned to developing a new “unbelievably ambitious” show, though he did not offer any specifics.
“We wrapped Season 6 of Clarkson’s Farm final yesterday, and Season 7 is kind of [like]: ‘What are we going to do?’” Clarkson said he is thinking about “fewer, bigger, better” ideas that can cut through with audiences.
“We’re currently thinking about what we do after Clarkson’s Farm, and it’s going to have to be something bigger to stand out to protect us from this onslaught from [social media content] underneath. It has to be unbelievably ambitious,” he said.
Clarkson added: “It’s very difficult to make a television show work unless you’re cooking on the moon or doing something incredible, and that’s where I think television has to get bigger, lose scheduling, and get bigger.”
The former Grand Tour and Top Gear host added that British broadcasters, including the BBC and Channel 4, have to consolidate to survive. He advocated for a “BritFlix” streaming service, which can carry clout with UK audiences.
Clarkson’s Farm has become one of Amazon Prime Video’s biggest UK success stories. Season 5 followed Clarkson as he was diagnosed with cancer and suffered a heart scare. He later said his cancer was in remission.
