Walmart appears in debates about data, healthcare, AI, and everyday jokes

On The Ezra Klein Show, Jensen Huang says Walmart must benefit from artificial intelligence, while Ezra Klein uses Walmart as an example in contrasting universal healthcare systems.[2][3]
Other shows use Walmart casually: Marc Lamont Hill jokes about Joe Budden being in every Walmart line, and Damona Love jokes by pairing Walmart with Dollar Tree.[4][5]
Walmart also appears as a fictional-ad joke on The Rewatchables and as a dismissive description of Lexington, Tennessee on The Shawn Ryan Show.[6][7]
A Walmart.com sponsor ad appears in The Big Picture, while Watch What Crappens mentions a hypothetical Walmart while joking about apartment ceilings.[8][9]
