Photos: THE DAILY SHOW With Josh Johnson to Feature Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick joins to discuss 'The Perilous Fight' and activism a decade after taking a knee.
THE DAILY SHOW will air an all-new episode tonight, September 16, 2026, with Josh Johnson hosting and Colin Kaepernick as a guest.
Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and bestselling author Colin Kaepernick joins Josh Johnson to discuss his new memoir, 'The Perilous Fight.' They reflect on the 10-year anniversary of Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, the idea that activism doesn't need to be earned, it's required for society to work, and a reframing of risk assessment in activism that asks, 'What do we risk if we don't take action?'
