If you’re looking to understand how Fox News hosts and guests might portray someone like Vice President Kamala Harris (or mispronounce her name), you could watch hours of the network—or, like over 11 million ‘The Daily Show’ YouTube subscribers, you could turn to ‘Desi Lydic Foxsplains’. In each installment of three minutes or less, Lydic delivers satirical takes on how Fox News shapes its narratives, all while creating laugh-out-loud, meme-worthy moments.

Desi Lydic is making waves in late-night television, earning an Emmy nod for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy for ‘Foxsplains’ and for Outstanding Talk Series for her collective work on ‘The Daily Show. Along with the correspondent role on ‘The Daily Show’ that she’s filled since 2015, Lydic has also stepped into a bigger role as occasional host, allowing her to blend character work with her personal perspective, offering a new take on the stories that resonate with her.

This year’s season of ‘The Daily Show’ has been marked by the return of Jon Stewart, who now hosts the show once a week, injecting fresh energy into this year’s ‘Indecision’ election coverage, a hallmark of Comedy Central since Stewart first hosted the show from 1999 to 2015. Lydic, who joined ‘The Daily Show’ during Trevor Noah’s era, finds herself in a dream scenario as she works alongside one of her comedy idols who inspired her to want to join the show in the first place.

“I love doing ‘Foxsplains’. I really do. They’re my favorite,” explains Lydic. “I think for such a long time, Fox News has provided a wealth of mis- and disinformation. We (at ‘The Daily Show’) had been looking for a way to embody that, satirize it, and play around with the mental gymnastics they go through. ‘Foxsplains’ felt like the perfect container for that, where we could go 200% and commit to it. I do love doing that.“
