Bert Kreischer humorously compared Fiji to Arizona, expressing his surprise at how dry he found it.

John Mulaney discussed his partnership with an alcohol-free beer brand and his experiences with sobriety, including a potential humorous showdown with Tom Holland over non-alcoholic beers.

Ricky Gervais humorously pondered why he's still overweight despite regular exercise, with advice from Dr. Syriac Abby Phillips pointing to alcohol as the culprit.

Marc Maron critiqued the influence of certain podcasters and reflected on the timing of his success.

Other highlights include Ricky Gervais guest-starring on a new sitcom tour, Gary Gulman's literary approach to comedy, and the retirement of radio legend Dr. Demento after 55 years. The script also covers the upcoming auction of Richard Lewis's memorabilia and a benefit honoring Adam Duritz.

Finally, David Letterman shared his thoughts on his relationship with Jay Leno and the camaraderie among current late-night hosts.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.519
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:16.879
daily comedy news. Bert Kreiser compared Fiji to Arizona. He

3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.679
said Fiji was drier than he expected. I guess I

4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.839
wouldn't expect Fiji to be dry. Bert told the Drop

5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.760
a Pin podcast that although he enjoyed being on a boat,

6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.519
scuba diving, surfing and catching fish, it felt dry. It

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.960
didn't live up to expectations. He said, when you hear Fiji,

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.359
you think of jungles, forests and a more lush place. No,

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.439
I actually think of being on a boat, scuba diving,

10
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.759
surfing and catching fish. Speaking of being dry, Variety tells

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.320
us if you see John Malani having a beer, don't worry,

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.240
he has not relapsed. They were talking about his new

13
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.039
partnership with Years. That's the alcohol free beer I told

14
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.719
you about a week ago, maybe two weeks ago. At

15
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.520
this point, there's a commercial we see John m'laney lounging

16
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.320
pool side while recalling a time when his wife, Livia

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.119
Munn thought he may have been drinking again when she

18
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.480
spotted him downing several cans of non alcoholic years. However,

19
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.400
ma'laney said that never actually happened. She's well aware of

20
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.000
my enjoyment of years non alcoholic beer. But I have

21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.200
best friends who've been like I didn't want to say anything,

22
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.719
but Ma'lanie tells us it's sold a Wrigley Field. It's

23
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.599
that exact Midwestern pilsner that I like. Other people make

24
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.719
a light non alcoholic, but most of them taste like

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.799
a drink trying to taste like one versus just being

26
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.040
a pilsner or a pale ale that just isn't fermented.

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.280
Now he's joking. He wants to take on Tom Holland

28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.120
to see who is the king of non alcoholic beers.

29
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.200
You see the Spider Man star has his own non

30
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.359
alcoholic beer brand. Biro Molaney says, it's a cage fight,

31
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.519
like a physical fight like UFC, because you know, I

32
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.200
fought three fourteen year olds on Everybody's Live? Will he

33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.719
fight Tom Holland? I'd fight three fourteen year old friends

34
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.000
of his. What does John mulaney love most about being sober?

35
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.319
He says, when I go to the doctor and I

36
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.439
have problems, we don't have to kind of tiptoe around

37
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.319
the minefield. It's like I say, I'm urinating a lot

38
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.079
at night. I have some numbness in my left hand.

39
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.319
We then don't have to discuss whether it's all the cocaine,

40
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.640
adderall opioids or alcohol. They'll take you much more seriously

41
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.159
at the doctor. Blainey says he would like to see

42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.840
Anthony Hopkins in a commercial. I know Anthony Hopkins is

43
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.360
something like sixty five years of sobriety. I think it'd

44
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.400
be a natural. He could play an acting student mine.

45
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.360
He goes, you're such a good actor. You were on

46
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.879
the Bear, not many other things. And I go, that's true.

47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.800
And then I say to him, you're getting better, sir,

48
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.360
and then I hand him one from The Indian Times,

49
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.800
your home for comedy news. Ricky Turvay's shared on social media.

50
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.719
I'm working out every day now, tennis waits running, et cetera.

51
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.560
My resting heart rate is really good, and I train

52
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.479
at quite a high rate too. So my question is

53
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.719
why am I still effing fat and exhausted? All the

54
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.159
sea word time, Well, I've never heard the sea word

55
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.759
used in that way. He used it the way someone

56
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.199
like me might use a e fing time. He said,

57
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.919
seaword time. Interesting. Well, luckily, The Indian Times caught up

58
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.039
with doctor Syriac Abby Phillips, who, as you know, is

59
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.400
popularly known as the Liver Doc. The Liver Doc said,

60
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.560
it's the alcohol, Ricky, It's the alcohol, not the food.

61
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.800
Like people blaming the responses, enjoy your food. Good advice

62
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.080
from the liver Doc. The New York Times asked Mark

63
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.400
Maron about white guy comics with podcasts becoming influential, name

64
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.120
checking Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, and Andrew Schultz, who was

65
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.159
just at the re Odd Comedy Festival. Maren said, these

66
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.520
guys have proven that their fan bases can be tribalized

67
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.919
in something that I think is fundamentally dangerous. Still in

68
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.199
their parameters free speech, you can do whatever you want.

69
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.400
And if you want to be used by the dominating

70
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.879
propaganda arm of a fascistic momentum against democracy, well, I

71
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.439
hope you're happy with your show. Some Times asked Maren

72
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.919
if he thought his success came too late in life.

73
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.199
He started his podcast in his late forties. Been there

74
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.319
done that? Maren said, Now, if you're honest with yourself,

75
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.000
I think a lot of time success didn't come because

76
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.199
you weren't ready for it. When I auditioned for a

77
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.520
Saturday Night Live. I wasn't ready for that. By the

78
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.840
time the podcast started, I'd let go of the other dreams.

79
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.840
When they started it happen, I felt like, Okay, I'm

80
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.439
ready for it. Now I could show up and do

81
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.879
the work in a way that I wouldn't have been

82
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.360
able to do previously. I'm not mad that my success

83
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.360
came when it did. I'm just glad that it came,

84
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.000
because it would have been a much sadder life if

85
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.240
it hadn't. Current Affairs dot Org guest John Marcos arasi,

86
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.120
what's it like out there in America now? John Marco

87
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.080
said it could be really tough, because my shows have

88
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.919
a joy that I don't think is in America right now.

89
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.759
Especially when I'm in the South. I find that's one

90
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.000
of the audiences. How would I say it even more

91
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.360
visibly queerer than in the city. I just did a

92
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.560
show in Hattiesburg, and I think in Hanniesburg I was

93
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.360
probably the gay hang of the night. Sometimes people say

94
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.800
they come alone of the show, and I hope they

95
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.720
come alone and leave with someone. It's meet and greet.

96
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.279
When I go to my shows, I always tell them,

97
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.079
if only the people in this room voted Jill Stein

98
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.439
would have had a shot. That's a great joke. There's

99
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.000
a joy there. America itself just feel as bleak as

100
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.680
f and I'm starting to accept and understand my role.

101
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.920
That's even if I talk about current affairs. There's a

102
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.319
degree of escapism. I'm saying, hey, let's go in here

103
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.560
for an hour and a half and just laugh at

104
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.000
how fed up it is. It is so nice to

105
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.519
see people discovering him. He's having a moment right now.

106
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.560
He's kind of the it comic right now, which is

107
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.600
really great. Jamarco, how do you take the political temperature

108
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.639
of your audience? He said, Honestly, one of the benefits,

109
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.079
and I think one of the detriments of modern day comedies.

110
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.639
Our fan bases are so curated via social media, so

111
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.399
in a way, I probably feel a safety at my

112
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.199
own shows that will someday bite me in the ass

113
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.160
when I forget I'm at someone else's show or just

114
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.000
a comedy club, and I'll have to be ready. I

115
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.759
just feel like the harder shows were the early years.

116
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.160
That's when i'd be in Florida and I'd look at

117
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.639
the men in the audience and esthetically they had copied Trump.

118
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.399
They had orange faked tans. They looked like they were

119
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.279
on the waitlist for Mara a Lago. That was more

120
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.680
nervous racking than it is now. But that'll be the challenge.

121
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.519
I think as you get comfortable in your own space,

122
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.680
you expand, you push yourself to be sharper and follow

123
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.319
your views to even more biting punchlines. And then do

124
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.560
you have the hood spot to do it when it's

125
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.079
on a TV show? Or I guess if you're gonna

126
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.879
do the re On Comedy Festival which I wasn't invited to.

127
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.399
Phoebe Robinson was on The Last Laugh podcast and took

128
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.279
a shot at Rogan Theo and others who she says

129
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.439
helped humanize a monster for millions of young male listeners.

130
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.680
Phoebe said, the same guys who build platforms on mocking

131
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.319
women and minorities are suddenly shocked Trump is doing what

132
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.199
he always said he would. You have to live with

133
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.399
what you did. You know who you voted for, own it.

134
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.720
Third Coast Review asked Gary Golman, ay, you have so

135
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.879
many bits that you spice up with strategically placed antiquated

136
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.279
freezes like ne'er do well? Where do you pull those from?

137
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.480
Gary said, it's from reading so much. I read more

138
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.399
than just about every other comedian. I think I've read

139
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.480
sixty books already this year, and I'll probably finish close

140
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.480
to one hundred. And that's been every year that I

141
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.519
haven't been sick. I also listened to a lot of books.

142
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.879
I had a friend who sadly passed away, but he

143
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.920
was very literate. He was an English teacher and a comedian,

144
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.319
a high school English teacher, which is really hard. He

145
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.600
was so well read. He said something to put words

146
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.800
to what I knew. Intuitively, people love to hear words

147
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.839
that they forgot they knew. That's when I realized I

148
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.639
had been doing and I try to continue to do it.

149
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.800
But there's a sweet spot. It comes from trial and error.

150
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.920
Try this word, to try that word. Sometimes you get

151
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.079
to the stage you're about to say a word and

152
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.040
you think, oh, they're going to groan because this because

153
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.759
it's way too written. See dial it back, smart smart smart.

154
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.560
But if you spend as much time as any writing

155
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.680
out the sentences and switching the words so many times,

156
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
you remember which word was the second least obnoxious, you

157
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.439
go to that it's a trial and error, but after

158
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.600
thirty years he build up instincts as to what will

159
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.079
land and what won't, what will sound too written. I

160
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.759
don't want to be the comedian who the audience is

161
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.800
silent for. That's painful, but I don't mind if every

162
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.480
once in a while a word doesn't land with the audience,

163
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.079
because when I do it on TV, it finds people

164
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.639
who think I got to see this live because he

165
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.600
gets me. I forget who said it. I think it

166
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.120
was a British comedian who said, if you could find

167
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.720
a thousand people who go to every show when you're

168
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.240
near them and buy every album you put out, you

169
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.800
can have a nice career. So if you were one

170
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.240
of the newer listeners who jumped on board during Kimmel

171
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.560
Gate and Riod Gate, again, thank you welcome on board.

172
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.519
I think today is pretty representative of like a normal episode.

173
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.079
You know, there's not always a major controversy, and believe me,

174
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.680
I love a major controversy. I welcome the next one.

175
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.720
But you know, this is kind of like, this is

176
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.800
how the show goes on a normal day. So hopefully

177
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.680
you're enjoying today. You must be if you're still here

178
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.360
ten plus minutes. But this is a normal episode. Doctor

179
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:42.160
Demento has wrapped up his radio career. Real name Barrett Hanson. See,

180
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.000
I didn't know that would be good Trivia. The Trivia

181
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.959
guys listening now, no one will get that one. You'd

182
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.600
have to phrase it like Barrett Hanson, known for his

183
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.399
wacky radio show parody songs, is better known by this name.

184
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.000
You'd have to go at it that way. I'm telling

185
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.399
the Trivia guys how to do their show. Hi, Trivia guys.

186
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.000
Johnny Mack hasn't been at Trivia a very very busy October,

187
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.000
hoping to get there soon. Anyway, I digress. Doctor Demento

188
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.240
wrapped up fifty five years on the air. Eighty four

189
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:12.079
years old. He started on KPPC Pasadena in nineteen seventy.

190
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.199
The Doctor Demento Show was nationally syndicated from seventy four

191
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.040
to twenty ten. I have a vague memory of stumbling

192
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.839
across that, probably around the same time Weird Al caught on.

193
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.800
Couldn't tell you what radio station, couldn't tell you when

194
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.560
it was actually on, or how you'd find it, but

195
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.240
I feel like I heard it every now and then.

196
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.639
Doctor Demento's final show aired for three and a half

197
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.840
hours was a countdown of the most requested show during

198
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.279
the fifty five year run. Countdown included longtime favorites like

199
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.080
fish Heads, the famous They're coming to take Me away haha.

200
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.039
Shaving Cream a nineteen forty six recording credited to Benny

201
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.960
Bill with Paul Wynn on vocals. I'm familiar with Uncle

202
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.759
Floyd used to do that one. That's a fun song.

203
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.320
If you don't know that one, let me put the

204
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.799
lyrics of that one. It's a wonderful example of a

205
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.960
naughty song that's not naughty at all. I won't say

206
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.720
for you. I know you're disappointed, but I'll read it

207
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.759
in Cadence lyrics to Shaving Cream, I have a sad

208
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.919
story to tell you. It may hurt your feelings a bit.

209
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.279
Last night, when I walked into my bathroom, I stepped

210
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.840
on a big pile of shaving cream. Be nice and clean,

211
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.039
shave every day. You'll always look keen. You see. You

212
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.600
get how it gets. So you basically you set up

213
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.720
the rhyme of a word that ends an it, and

214
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.039
you get to the shaving cream and you go into

215
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.799
the coorse. It's a fun, naughty song. Comedians Joe Wilkinson

216
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.279
and David Earl are reuniting for a new show called

217
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.720

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:48.120
beloved British sitcom. Expect episodes dedicated to shows like The Office,

Porridge and Faulty Towers. Ricky Gervais will reflect on the Office.

223
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.200

if you want to jump on there. Adam Sandler, a

234
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.120
great dramatic actor, does he have any advice to the

235
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.080
star of Happy Gilmore to Travis Kelcey. Travis Kelcey recently

236
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.279
got engaged to a famous singer. Sandler said, he's all good.

237
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.080
He loves her more than anything, just like I love

238
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.360
my wife more than anything. That's where they're at, and

239
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.679
that's where me and my girl are at. Adam recently

240
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.600
told Travis Kelcey that anytime Taylor Swift is laughing with you,

241
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.399
my whole family is high fiving different Adam Adam Durretz

242
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.080

243
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.159
Legacy Award at this year's Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine Benefit

244
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.440
and Wednesday, Novem twelfth in New York City. Jeff Ross

245
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.480
He's just back from the Riod Comedy Festival. He's gonna

246
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.200
host the event, which will also feature Reod Comedy Festival

247
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.080
performer Hannibal Burris and some comedians who were not in Riodd,

248
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.879
including Kelsey Cook, Jim Gaffigan He'll probably try and sell

249
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.480
you a bourbon, and Nikki Glazer also appearing. Broadcaster Katie Couric,

250
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.879
I don't know why either, And David Letterman talked about

251
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.159
that guy, Jay Leno. You know, Jay Leno is always

252
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.399
popping off about late night comedy like he knows anything

253
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879
about it. Vulture asked David Letterman, do you speak to

254
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.000
Jay Leno? In all these days? A lot of time

255
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.120
has passed into competing against each others for the ratings.

256
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.879
Dave said, the last time I spoke to Jay, or

257
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.080
maybe we just texted, he said his face had caught

258
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:39.919
fire or something, and it sounded hideous. I mean, of

259
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.879
all things that might catch fire, perhaps the last thing

260
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.240
he'd want to be is your face. So it was alarming.

261
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.080
I think we've changed sentiments about good luck and be

262
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.720
careful something like that, but I haven't spoken to him

263
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.000
in a long time. We rubbed each other the wrong way.

264
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.799
I don't know. I don't know any regrets about our relationship,

265
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:53.600
and I don't think he has any regrets about me either.

266
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.759
But God, just really, even at this point in his career,

267
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.360
probably still the best. Just tremendous, just hilarious, just NonStop,

268
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.279
as funny as you ever gonna get. So that's a

269
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.960
good thing about Jay. We rubbed each other the wrong way.

270
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.039
I don't know. I don't have any regrets about our relationship,

271
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.720
and I don't think he has any regrets about me either,

272
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.679
But God, he just really, even at this point in

273
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.879
his career, probably still the best. Dave also commented on

274
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.679
how the current late night guys get along. How did

275
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.399
that happen? Because when it was me and Jay was

276
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.879
the Late Night Wars, there was bloodshed, we hated each other.

277
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.279
But now every day they have lunch together. I don't

278
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.480
get it. Love David Letterman, and that is your comedy

279
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.600
news for today. I'll see you tomorrow.
