The Daily Show's Emmy-winning segment, “The Dailyshowography,” parodies Marco Rubio's political journey, highlighting his evolution from a rising Republican star to a staunch supporter of Donald Trump. Using a mock-bio format interspersed with clips of Rubio's career and scenes from teenage movies, the segment portrays his transformation as a dramatic makeover, questioning his integrity and motivations.
HuffPost got an exclusive look at the latest installment of the show's Emmy-winning segment, “The Dailyshowography,” which mercilessly mocks the “fun-sized Florida boy” for being a blatant hypocrite when it comes to all things MAGA. The segment traces Rubio’s cynical political transformation with a narration that sounds like it was lifted straight from one of her coming-of-age classics.
“I wasn’t always hanging out with all the cool kids at Donald Trump’s lunch table,” the snarky segment begins, “But sometimes when you’re in the right place, at the right time, with the right complete lack of moral spine or integrity, magic can happen.” The mock-bio intersperses clips of Rubio’s career highs and lows with scenes from teen big-screen standards like “Clueless” and “Mean Girls” as it details how the Florida politician went from Republican “it girl” to “beta” and back ’round again. Recalling Rubio’s 2013 State of the Union speech, Ringwald jokes about the lawmaker’s stumble from “superstar to a short, sweaty high-heeled loser,” especially after going head-to-head with “Mean Girl” Trump during the 2016 GOP primaries. When Rubio’s Oval Office aspirations dried up, his only choice was to undergo a complete political “makeover,” the segment jabs. In a jarring about-face, the lawmaker ended up endorsing Trump in 2016 and has since declared his unwavering support for Trump’s America First agenda, telling the press corps, ”Under the leadership of President Trump, we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else.” The next four years will change America forever.
