COMEDY CENTRAL'S "THE DAILY SHOW" ANNOUNCES MICRO DRAMA SERIES "THE DAILY SHOW PRESENTS: TWO BILLIONAIRES FIGHT TO DOMINATE THE COUNTRY ... AND MY HEART!"

New Series Is First Micro Series from a Late-Night Franchise

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 - Comedy Central's THE DAILY SHOW today announced its first-ever micro drama series: THE DAILY SHOW PRESENTS: TWO BILLIONAIRES FIGHT TO DOMINATE THE COUNTRY... AND MY HEART! which is also the first from a late-night franchise. A satirical take on the viral short-form soap phenomenon, the series brings THE DAILY SHOW's signature political comedy to the rapidly growing micro series format.

THE DAILY SHOW PRESENTS: TWO BILLIONAIRES FIGHT TO DOMINATE THE COUNTRY... AND MY HEART!

When the president's beautiful daughter Alonka announces that her aging father wants to spend more of his Oval Office time sleeping, two filthy rich tech gods - Egon Husk and Jiff Davos - must compete to build a new AI president to help him run the country. But their lust for power, and Alonka, leads to dangerously hot complications.

Following THE DAILY SHOW's seven Emmy nominations, including for Best Variety Series, the micro drama series builds on the show's growing portfolio of digital original content, which includes Emmy Award-winning recurring segments "Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse" and "Desi Lydic Foxsplains" and the #1 podcast feed in late night, THE DAILY SHOW: EARS EDITION. THE DAILY SHOW continues to deliver a strong performance, scoring its highest-rated second quarter among persons 18-49 in nine years and outperforming its year-ago benchmarks on key social metrics. Additionally, the late-night staple currently ranks as the #1 most-viewed cable program across social in 2026.

Jon Stewart hosts the award-winning late-night franchise alongside THE DAILY SHOW's News Team, including Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic with Troy Iwata and Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
