Jordan Klepper recaps Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense, which featured Republicans pretending to vet the Fox News anchor and Democrats questioning his infidelities, drinking problem, and misogyny. Plus, Desi Lydic teaches Jordan Klepper a lesson on digging too deeply into Trump's cabinet selects. From humble Midwest beginnings to a dishonorable discharge from the army to landing his perfect job as a Fox News personality, Trump's Secretary of Defense nominee is ready to fight... for his right... to party. This is the Daily Showography of Pete Hegseth. Actor Boyd Holbrook sits down with Jordan Klepper to talk about his experience playing Johnny Cash in the new film, "A Complete Unknown." They discuss working with director James Mangold on the legacy of playing Johnny Cash, Cash's letters to Bob Dylan on the back of airplane barf bags, the pressures of portraying a real person on film, and how Christian Bale threw him a bone early in his career.
