In this episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the focus is on Ashley Graham, the plus-size supermodel and body positivity advocate. Trevor begins the show by joking about how the new year is supposed to be a time for making resolutions, but for many people it's just a time for giving up on their old resolutions. He then segues into a segment about how Trump is still trying to get funding for his border wall, calling it a "Malcolm in the Middle" situation where everyone wants something different.

Next, Trevor brings out Ashley Graham as his guest. Graham is known for being a champion of body positivity and breaking down stereotypes in the fashion industry. Trevor asks her about the recent controversy surrounding a Victoria's Secret executive who made derogatory comments about plus-sized models. Graham is quick to point out that the industry is changing and more and more brands are embracing diversity and inclusivity. She also talks about her own journey to becoming a successful model despite being told she was too "big" or not "pretty enough" by people in the industry.

The conversation turns to social media and how it has impacted the way women feel about their bodies. Graham has been an outspoken advocate for women of all sizes to love and accept themselves, and she credits social media as a tool for spreading that message. She talks about how she uses her own platform to show women that they can be confident and beautiful no matter what their size or shape.

Later in the show, Trevor takes on the issue of the government shutdown and how it's affecting federal workers. He points out that many people are struggling to make ends meet and many are being forced to work without pay. He also highlights the absurdity of Trump's suggestion that workers should just "make adjustments" during the shutdown, likening it to telling someone to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" when they have no boots.

The episode ends with a segment about the upcoming Super Bowl, with Trevor joking that he'll be rooting for the "New England Cheaters" over the "LA Vegans." He also talks about the various commercials that will be airing during the game and how advertisers are trying to appeal to a younger, more diverse audience.

Overall, this episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is a mix of humor and serious social commentary. Ashley Graham's interview is a highlight, with her inspiring message about body positivity and the changing face of the fashion industry. Trevor's segments on the government shutdown and the Super Bowl are informative and entertaining, making for a well-rounded and engaging show.
