The CEO Killer, Amy Schumer, and Life Under The Taliban

Sam Bee and Joanna Coles unpack the hunt for Luigi Mangione with the Daily Beast’s Harry Lambert—and the explosive public reaction to his alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Lambert explains how Mangione became a Robin Hood figure and his fandom only grew after he was caught munching on McDonald’s hash browns in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Also this week Sam reveals how Amy Schumer roasted Joanna with the aid of a bag of roasted vegetable chips at a glitzy New York gala for Comic Relief. And Beast of the Week is Saad Mohseni, a media mogul nicknamed the Rupert Murdoch of Afghanistan who explains his very surprising views of the Taliban and tells how music fans will risk being whipped to keep up with the latest hits under the extremist Islamic regime.
