Molly Shannon (Exclusive Extended Cut), Rep. Cori Bush

President Biden hopes to counter the effects of inflation by increasing the availability of ethanol at the gas pump, and Stephen reacts to news that Rachel Maddow will cut back to hosting her namesake show only once per week. Meanwhile, the latest offering from American Airlines isn’t a flight, and people with cash to burn might consider visiting a Texas spa that offers $300 hot tub sessions with live otters. Our friend Molly Shannon returns to The Late Show to tell Stephen about losing her mom and sister at a young age, and the reason she included that story at the very beginning of her new memoir, “Hello Molly!” Stick around for more of this Pod Show exclusive extended interview, when Molly explains her motto: "struggle itself is meaningful," and tells the story of how she and a friend successfully scammed top agents by posing as associates of the playwright David Mamet early in her career. Next, Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri returns to The Late Show for her first in-studio interview and tells Stephen how she has merged her life as an activist with her responsibilities as a politician, such as when she successfully protested for an extension to the pandemic eviction moratorium.
