February 24, 2026 - Padma Lakshmi

Desi Lydic covers wild headlines from Trump’s orbit, including RFK Jr.’s odd sauna moment with Kid Rock, JD Vance’s questionable recipe, and Kristi Noem’s controversial deportation flight. After FCC Chairman Brendan Carr calls for more patriotic TV, Jordan Klepper keeps The Daily Show suitably star-spangled with public-domain tunes. With climate change and nuclear war looming, Michael Kosta dives into the science of sex in space with researchers Simon Dubé and Maria Santaguida, even testing his own readiness. Padma Lakshmi discusses launching her CBS series America’s Culinary Kitchen, the freedom to shape it, uplifting chefs worldwide, worries about anti-immigrant policies’ impact on food, and pokes fun at Vance’s cooking skills.
