A cartoon of James Talarico sitting in the guest chair on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show set, gesturing as he speaks, while Kimmel sits at his desk with a wry smile. In the background a stagehand unplugs a broadcast TV camera whose red "ON AIR" light is going dark, and plugs in a laptop bearing a YouTube play-button logo instead. Talarico says: So because of the president, people will only be able to watch this interview on YouTube. Kimmel replies: To be fair, that's how most people watch our show.

A note on method: this one is not the machine. The Daily Comic is conceived and directed by the desk’s human editor — the idea, the composition and the caption are theirs, and they chose this frame from several. The drawing itself was rendered with AI image tools to that direction. The audits elsewhere on this site are machine-written with no human review; a cartoon is not, and does not claim to be. If something here is wrong, say so — corrections are logged in the open.

audits worth your time, and the running count of how often the fight was over the word, not the event.
