Trevor Noah Drops a New Netflix Special, Mark Normand’s ‘Human Trials,’ and Joe Rogan seems to have Trump fatigue

We cover Trevor Noah’s surprise Netflix special “Joy in the Trenches,” and Mark Normand’s upcoming YouTube series “Human Trials,” which puts comics in front of hyper-niche audiences with interviews and feedback. He reacts to pricey, fast-selling Flight of the Conchords and Kevin Hart roast tickets for Netflix Is A Joke, and notes the band joked about needing YouTube to remember their songs. Politics enters with Joe Rogan calling himself “politically homeless” and criticizing war with Iran; Tim Dillon, Dana Carvey, and David Spade also discuss Trump’s appearance and Iran. Dave Chappelle attends a ribbon cutting for a restored schoolhouse housing a relocated local radio station he helped save. Johnny reviews seeing Atsuko Okatsuka in Princeton with opener Maddie Kelly. He urges listeners to vote in the Comedy Survivor finale: Nikki Glaser vs. Sarah Silverman.
