Since Trevor Noah left The Daily Show in December, the parody news show has been having different comedians host the show on a weekly basis. In January, Saturday Night Live’s Leslie Jones, comedians Wanda Sykes, and DL Hughley hosted. The first slot in February was hosted by Chelsea Handler, and this week Sarah Silverman hosts.

Silverman’s first night behind the desk was Monday and she had “the most Daily Show-y way possible” way of giving herself an introduction to the viewers who may not be familiar with the comedian’s work: She used a montage of conservative media clips where Sarah Silverman is the subject. Silverman has a long history of being openly liberal and outspoken in her criticisms of people like the fossil-fuel ghoul Koch brothers. That and the fact that Silverman is both a woman and Jewish has made her the kind of target right-wing fascists can’t help but attack.
