'The Daily Show' ripped for attempted satirical video of Meghan McCain: 'There's not a single joke in this'
- 3 years ago
Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" was mocked Friday after it shared a satirical video of comedian Desi Lydic's fake audition to replace former "The View" co-host Meghan McCain.
In the video, Lydic is seen giving various opinionated takes, referencing McCain's discussion of her late father Sen. John McCain, and interacting with imaginary co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. McCain, the show's token conservative for four years, frequently angered liberal media members and viewers with her clashes with the show's left-leaning co-hosts.
"Let's talk about an issue that affects real Americans: People being mean to me on Twitter," Lydic said in one of the attempted jokes.
