"Hasan Minhaj"
Brutal. Living his truth. We love you, Desi!

[erinmac]

Classic, Desi! I love that look you gave the camera when talking with the guy about the honesty of financial institutions. Priceless! 💜🌍💚🥰🍀

I applied for a cashier's job at grocery store many years ago and they investigate up to 10 years of work based on my social security number so hHOW the heck Santos got that job by embellishments...

[kestralrider]

I busted out loud when Desi made that look about the financial industry. Makes me wonder if he got it or if it went right over his head. TDS has so much talent, and I love all the correspondents, but Roy and Desi stood out, making me laugh out loud more times than I remember. Us TDS fans miss watching you all and can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the future. We patiently await your return to brighten our weekday evenings, which haven't been the same since Trevor left.

Until recently, I was lying on my resume, claiming to be George Santos.
Man.. that's really come back to bite me. 🥺

[RabblesTheBinx]

I mean, slight exaggerations or wording your job in a way that makes it sound extra complicated, sure, I believe most people have done that. When you are taught how to make a resume, that's one of the things they _teach_ you to do. But Santos didn't "embellish", he lied. He said things that weren't even stretches of the truth, they are flat-out false.

[melaber]

Can that senior lady be my grandma?? I ❤️ her

[chumark]

Desi: "Who is your fav correspondent?"
Me: "Desi Lydic!! And it's 100% truth!!"

[syte]

Santos has inspired me to run for president. I graduated at Yale and Harvard guys, im pretty big brained. Can trust me with national secretes no problem.

[mharriedjr]

Lol!!!! I just don't know how to do pivot tables in Excel 🤣🤣

[mrocha]

Life time goal is to be like that senior lady!!

[findingpeacedailyfpd]

💜 u desi 🌀🌟. Your face with stockholder lady PRICELESS 🙃

[h.a.s.]

2:47 "Who is your favorite Correspondent?"

Sorry Desi, Klepper already tried that.

[philoctetes_wordsworth]

I have tried to lie on my CV…I cannot ever figure out how to do it, and still be within the realms of something others would verify. Honestly, I never have.

[sheilalindauer]

It's not that he lied, it's that he lied about everything.

[williamharasym]

Desi, you rock! You do a fantastic job. I guess that honest guy didn't say that he watches the Daily show every day because if he did he would have known that Trevor left a couple weeks ago. I watched the show that day, truth, so if you were a daily watcher you would have known and if you were Trevor fan you would have also known. Desi, you do a fantastic job. Keep up the great work and I've 💕'ed the daily show since the beginning.
Peace Out!
Your biggest fans from Wyoming, Thor, the 🐈‍⬛ and Bill! 😺❤️😻

Keep it coming Desi!! Love all your content 🥰

[paulpease]

Whoever lost the election to Santos should find a new campaign manager if they run again. Seems like they didn’t do basic opposition research.

[whiskyjames]

Desi, you're my favorite TV personality... hands down!❤️
