Before we get into the funniest clips of the week, I want to highlight two non-humorous moments in late night. The first was Evan Rachel Wood’s interview on The Daily Show. She was on the show to plug her two-part documentary about surviving sexual assault and intimate violence, Phoenix Rising. Trevor Noah gave Wood space to collect her thoughts, make little asides, and explain herself fully. I admired how Wood got her point across about the need for time to process sexual assault and trauma on her own terms. She only intermittently made eye contact with Noah, who never seemed to demand it.
The second clip was a longform interview on The Problem With Jon Stewart….
