There is not much left to be said at the dawn of the second Trump administration, so Piker ends his stream in relative silence, watching highlights from the weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

Like so many other millennials, Piker experienced his first brush with left-wing politics via The Daily Show and other Bush-era satire, but he does not exactly remember himself as civically engaged.

“You just have to sit there cold-calling and being nice to people,” Piker said.

Piker attended to those duties while simultaneously breaking ground on a rogue media brand of his own.

Piker was scrappy, profane, horrified by Republicans, and annoyed at Democrats—auguring a burgeoning left–liberal schism that continues to color American politics today.
