The Daily Show with Trevor Noah season 2016 episode 99, titled DNC2016 - Let's Not Get Crazy Night Two - Every Minority The Camera Could Find, focuses on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. Trevor Noah and his team of correspondents provide their comedic take on the night's speeches and events, highlighting the diversity of the Democratic Party.
The episode begins with Trevor Noah discussing the speech given by former President Bill Clinton, who spoke about his wife's accomplishments and qualifications to be president. Noah comments on the fact that Clinton mentioned Hillary's role in creating the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides healthcare to millions of American children. He jokingly compares this to Donald Trump's healthcare plan, which he claims is just telling sick people to "suck it up."
The correspondents then weigh in on some of the other speakers of the night, including Mothers of the Movement, a group of African American women who have lost children to gun violence or police brutality. Roy Wood Jr. comments on the powerful impact of their speeches, stating that "if Hillary Clinton can unite the Mothers of the Movement with Bernie Sanders supporters, then anything is possible."
Michael Kosta covers Cory Booker's speech, in which the senator from New Jersey talks about the importance of America's diversity. Kosta hilariously points out that "every time Cory Booker says 'diversity,' a white guy's Advil bottle falls off his desk."
The episode also features Hasan Minhaj, who discusses the controversy surrounding the DNC email leak and the resignation of DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Minhaj points out that "if the DNC can't run an email server, how are they supposed to run a country?" He also mentions the protests that have been occurring throughout the convention, stating that "if Bernie supporters were upset with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, wait until they hear about the electoral college."
Another highlight of the episode is Jordan Klepper's segment on Bernie Sanders supporters who are refusing to support Hillary Clinton. Klepper interviews several disillusioned Sanders supporters, jokingly calling them "Bernie Bros." He even visits a protest outside the convention, where he is promptly kicked out for not having a media credential.
Overall, the episode provides an entertaining and humorous look at the second night of the DNC. The correspondents offer their unique perspectives on the speakers and events of the night, while also touching on some of the larger issues facing the Democratic Party. Through their humor, they highlight the importance of diversity and unity within the party, and encourage viewers to come together to support the Democratic nominee.
