Johnny Mac delivers a political-heavy Daily Comedy News episode centered on late-night reactions to the State of the Union, including jokes and commentary from Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon, plus a Tim Dillon Facebook post imagining an absurd address. He notes social-media criticism of the USA men’s hockey team appearing at the event.
