‘Daily Show’ 2nd Pandemmy Awards Wants to Pick the Best (Wrong) COVID Treatment (Exclusive Video)
“The Daily Show” unveiled the nominees for the only award show that we all wish wasn’t happening: The Pandemmy Awards.
This year’s awards, the second (and please god hopefully last) annual, feature a clash between Bleach and Ivermectin for which is the best (horribly bad) COVID treatment, while Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens face off for which one knows world history the least.
Plus, plenty of regular people freaking out over masks will have a chance to take home some hardware this year (just make sure you wipe them down).
