Johnny Mac recaps Bill Maher receiving the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize, featuring Maher’s remarks about mocking both political sides, “lunatic left/right,” censorship debates around Huckleberry Finn, and praising his audience for valuing truth over pandering; the event included clips from Politically Incorrect, stand-up, and podcasts, appearances by Louis C.K. (crediting Maher for supporting him), Whitney Cummings, Woody Harrelson, Jay Leno, and Matt Friend’s Trump impression, and will stream on Netflix July 21, though a Washingtonian writer described the room as sedate with empty seats. Mac also covers backlash framing Nate Bargatze as “MAGA” after Cheryl Hines liked an Instagram clip, Michelle Wolf saying she’d be meaner at the 2018 WHCD and criticizing “podcast bros” platforming Trump, recommends Ryan Hamilton’s Netflix special, comments on Des Bishop’s Hulu special, notes Trevor Noah’s World Cup bias remarks and YouTube view counts, and reports David Letterman’s Just for Laughs debut with Will Arnett on July 21.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Callaroga shock Media. If you don't like the intersection of

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.800
comedy and politics, then skip today. Otherwise, Hi, I'm Johnny

3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.800
Mack with your daily comedy news. Bill Maher, for some reason,

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:24.239
received the newly unrenamed Kennedy Senators Mark Twain Prize for Comedy.

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.800
Bill Maher said, now the President, when he is in

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.879
attack mode, never fails to say that I'm part of

7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.039
the lunatic left. Okay, he's not wrong that there is one.

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.920
I'm just not part of it. And I'm sure there

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.159
is a lunatic right. And when either side gets mad

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.039
at me because I put them in jokes, jokes that work,

11
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.119
my message to them is simple, you want to not

12
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.119
get mocked, stop being funny, then the jokes will work.

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.479
When they're ridiculous, they do work. And when people laugh,

14
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.840
you're caught. Laughter is involuntary. It's people's inescapable truth detector,

15
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.759
whether they want to believe or not. Before the ceremony,

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.479
Mar talked to reporters about the possibility of Trump himself

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.280
showing up. Mar said, because anything's possible with him, that

18
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.159
didn't happen, but Matt fra came to the stage and

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.480
imitated Trump. Matt friend, Trump said I get so many

20
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.319
more laughs than this guy and demanded the award. Bill

21
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.599
Moore said, just take it. I'm used to losing awards,

22
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.079
and then noted that he'd received forty one nominations but

23
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.480
has continuously lost. Bill Moore said, I lost one year

24
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.359
to the U log Is it something I said? It's

25
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.840
everything I said. The ceremony featured many clips, including his

26
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.640
time at ABC with Politically Incorrect, as well as his

27
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.000
stand up specials and podcasts. Louis c K was there.

28
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.319
Louis c K said, I am not a political guy.

29
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.959
I wrote one joke about Trump, but it took me

30
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.799
about eighteen months. Now. I don't even know if I

31
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.319
can repeat this joke without getting a visit from people

32
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.840
of Bill Maher, Louis c K said, he's not a

33
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.920
guy who gives an f about what people think of him.

34
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.959
My career took a downturn, but then I heard from

35
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.120
Bill within it invites a buera on a show. He

36
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.040
offered me to help me when no one else would.

37
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.680
And he's a good guy. He has a heart. C

38
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.000
K said, mar earned the honor by being a constant

39
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.239
and hilarious force in American comedy. For many years. Whitney

40
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.640
Cummings said, I actually heard Trump may come tonight, but

41
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.799
he couldn't make it. He got caught in sex traffic.

42
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.079
Bill Moore himself called out the left, noting recent efforts

43
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.840
to censor Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn because it uses racist language.

44
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.960
Mar said, the silly purists on the left want to

45
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.479
ban it now, which just shows you if you hang

46
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.800
around long enough and create something important enough, everyone ates

47
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.439
you at some point, and that's when you know you're

48
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.120
doing it right. His point there was that the racist

49
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.120
language is in the service of mocking racism. Bill Moore

50
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.879
praised his audience, saying people say they want honesty, they don't.

51
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.280
They want to live in a bubble. They say they

52
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.319
want to be challenged, They don't. Except for my audience.

53
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.879
They love it, and I love it for them, and

54
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.840
I'm sorry. I think it makes them better. Why because

55
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.840
I don't ask to please the audience. I ask what's true,

56
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.879
and they're okay with that. They are a unique group

57
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.800
of people who do not demand to be pandered too,

58
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.560
and in fact want me not to do that. And

59
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.199
has been the honor of a lifetime to try and

60
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.159
lead a backlash to group think. The event will stream

61
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.280
on Netflix July twenty first. This is not quite the

62
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.080
Conan O'Brien event of last year, Woody Harrelson said, people

63
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.000
generally come up here and talk about how great the

64
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.280
nominee is. But I've decided to be honest. I've known

65
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.599
Bill a long time, since back when he was funny.

66
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.360
I'll say this, he is impeccable tastes and friends. We're

67
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.800
both outspoken at our beliefs. I not only admire you,

68
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.400
but you're one of the funniest, smartest, greatest people I know.

69
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.800
I love you, brother what He also joked about the

70
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.360
center's temporary name change there. Woody Harrelson said, no award

71
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.120
for my dear friend, ironically the Trump Kennedy Center. Oh right,

72
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.000
we fixed that, not say you'd be able to notice.

73
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.960
In case you don't know, they still have scaffolding out front,

74
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.759
so you can't see the name at all. Jay Leno

75
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.960
was there. I'm not seeing much about what jay Leno

76
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.199
said or didn't, And believe me, I looked because I

77
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.039
even found that jay Leno stopped by an iconic DC

78
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.800
Italian restaurant. That's right, jay Leno was at Philamina restaurante.

79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.120
The restaurants shared photos of jay Leno's visit as writing,

80
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.840
look who's dining at Philamina. Jay Leno, the celebrated comedian, writer,

81
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.479
and former late night host, is scheduled to be a

82
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.599
guest speaker the Kennedy Center presenting Bill Maher with the

83
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.039
Esteve Mark Twaine Award for American Humor. He thoroughly enjoyed

84
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.800
his lunch today and left a sweet note for Joanna Philamina.

85
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.159
For many years, Joanna has been a great fan of his.

86
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.120
But if jay Leno had some jokes, I can't tell

87
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.599
you what they were. Bill Moore said, this really does

88
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.120
mean a lot to me. Believe me, when they called

89
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:07.680
and said would you accept this? They didn't have to

90
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.159
ask twice. My speech tonight will be mostly thank yous,

91
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.120
as it should be, so all the people who believed

92
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.879
in me supported me, the fans who stood by me,

93
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.719
because you know, once in a while I did get

94
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.959
in a spot of trouble. He said he was most

95
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.879
proud of staying on the air for thirty three years

96
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.920
without ever pulling a punch on a show mostly without stars.

97
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.959
Sylvie McNamara wrote for The washingtony and things felt weird

98
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.759
at the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize. Sylvie writes throughout

99
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.079
the evening there were some laughs and a smitch of gayety,

100
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.519
but overall was fairly sedate. Whole swats of balcony seats

101
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.000
stood empty. Volunteer seat fillers meant to plump up the

102
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.000
crowd for the TV cameras, were given the option to

103
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.040
bring up to five guests. Whitney Cummings opened by describing

104
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.959
how strange it is that Bill Moore would choose to

105
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.040
be a political comedian as opposed to any other type.

106
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.519
She compared it to a surgeon choosing corectal specialty. Both

107
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.480
involved spending one's life examining a holes. Cummings added, if

108
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.319
that metaphor was too weird, I have another one that

109
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.360
can help you under sty and how masochistic it is

110
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.639
to do what Bill Maher does. Being a politicalmedian is

111
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.319
like being a sports commentator who chooses only to talk

112
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.319
about the Washington Commanders that got a cheer from the hometown, or,

113
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.439
as Bill calls them, the Redskins. Oh wait, this does

114
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.680
have a j leto joke. Jay Leno said, for the

115
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.160
second time, at our nation's capital, there's a big, beautiful

116
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.199
Bill in Washington. Boy, that's awful. You know, the Kennedy

117
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.720
Center was not Bill's first choice, but the Playboy Mansion

118
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.319
was unavailable. Jay leto everybody a little behind the scenes.

119
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.639
Johnny Mack has a clogged ear, and I am struggling

120
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.720
to do the show today because I'm trying to explain.

121
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.680
I'm kind of in my own head when I'm speaking,

122
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.759
so I don't sound to myself the way normally sound.

123
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.279
It's very annoying. Cheryl Hines has shown support for Mega

124
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.040
comedian Nate Pergatzy. That's right, we're now describing Nate Pergatzy,

125
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.839
who went to a UFC fight as Mega comedian Natepergatzy.

126
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.560
So what did Nate do now? Well, he posted a

127
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.160
short clip of live stand up performance on Instagram on Sunday,

128
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.720
featuring Nate's alone on stage talking about his experience trying

129
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:07.160
to buy a hammock. Cheryl Hines publicly liked the post. However,

130
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.639
the most liked comment on the video, we are told,

131
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.040
reads Nate, how is the carnival on the w h lawn.

132
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:18.160
The second most liked says, we remember Maga comedian Nate forguests,

133
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.600
everybody went to a UFC fight once, so did Chane Gillis.

134
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.519
Michelle Wolfe was talking about her appearance at the twenty

135
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.160
eighteen White House Correspondents dinner. Trump did not attend that dinner.

136
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.480
Michelle Wolfe said, if there was anything I could go

137
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.439
back and do again, I would be meaner. If I'd

138
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.680
known how mad they were going to get at a

139
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.839
joke about I makeup, I would have told the meaner

140
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.879
jokes that I cut so they could get mad at

141
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.240
something that was actually valid. But also knowing what the

142
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.600
administration has done and what they continue to do, I

143
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.199
would have really gone in on them and the press

144
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.959
more and try to hold them more accountable. Michelle wolf

145
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.439
is now living in Europe, splitting time between Barcelona and London.

146
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.879
What she likes about Spain, there's no worry of shooting.

147
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.519
I feel like that's a big one. Never having to

148
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.319
do a school shooting drill. That just feels like a

149
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.720
nice thing to not have to teach her children. Michelle

150
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.040
believes in poking fun at both sides. She says, you

151
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.079
could say anything, people are gonna get maybe mad at

152
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.279
you for saying it. Even if you have a well

153
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.959
constructed argument, people might still get mad at you. You're

154
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.680
free to say something and people are free to be

155
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.560
mad at it. Switching topics, all those podcasts bros I

156
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.319
had had a Trump on and got them the presidency.

157
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.279
I feel like now maybe they're walking back on platforming,

158
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.120
but it's like you knew who this guy was. They

159
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.519
oftentimes put information out there either don't know if it's

160
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.639
true or not, or don't care, and they don't realize

161
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.920
that they have a responsibility millions of people listening to you,

162
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.600
and whether you want it or not, they believe what

163
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.959
you say. So many of those guys went to the

164
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.199
inauguration and they just think it's cool to be up there,

165
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.399
and I'm like, it's gross for me personally, no matter

166
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.920
what the side was, I wouldn't want to be piles

167
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.920
with the president, whether they're a Democrat or Republican. They're

168
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.519
droning children. George Carlin always did a really good job

169
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.800
of calling out the political power rather than being piles

170
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.879
with anybody. Would she returned to the White House Correspondents

171
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.680
dinner If they did invite me, I'd be happy to go.

172
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.439
I just think they'd have to know what to expect,

173
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.800
but sure, give me that platform. I'll do another roast

174
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.959
Michelle Wolfe living in Europe. I did squeeze some special

175
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.399
in between the soccer games. We've been watching a lot

176
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.720
of soccer. Ryan Hamilton Special is fantastic. I think I'm

177
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.279
going to do my updated list on Sunday. At the

178
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.720
time of this sentence, I haven't seen Louis c k yet,

179
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.240
but I think Sunday I'll do the midway through the

180
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.000
year list Holiday weekend and all. You know how the

181
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.600
show goes. But Ryan Hamilton Special is fantastic, and the

182
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.560
folks in the Facebook group seem to agree with me.

183
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.839
See if you haven't watched Ryan Hamilton on Netflix, very

184
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.839
very funny special. I also switched over to Dez Bishop

185
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.600
on Hulu, and I think you know, Dez was a

186
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.519
great guest, good guy, want to hang out with them,

187
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.279
guy from Queens. But I think what we've seen of

188
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.200
the Hulu specials is the Hulu specials, so just not

189
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.759
up to the quality of the Netflix specials. Dez's specials fine.

190
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.759
I didn't stay with it that long because I've been

191
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.639
doing this long enough that I know the difference between

192
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.399
a great special and a fine special, and that one's fine.

193
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.360
Trevor Noah has been praised by his fans after pointing

194
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.679
out bias towards African and Middle Eastern teams during the

195
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.120
World Cup. Trevor Noah was sharing his thoughts on World

196
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.240
Cup Watch Party, which apparently he's on YouTube. I haven't

197
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.440
checked the numbers, but I haven't seen much buzz about it.

198
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.080
Let's look, let's see how that's doing, all right. The

199
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.919
South Africa versus Canada game from Sunday got two hundred

200
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.960
and ninety eight thousand views. England versus Ghana got two

201
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.360
hundred and eight thousand views. Germany and Ivory Coast got

202
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.000
two thirty one. All right, so he's doing, you know,

203
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.200
mid two thirties while we're here. Let's see how those

204
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.879
YouTube late night shows are doing. Can't remember what these

205
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.399
are called. Right outside tonight with Julian Shapiro Brinam. It

206
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.799
is one twenty six pm on Monday, as I say

207
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:40.519
this sentence, Oh boy, he had on Jamarcos Sarasi four

208
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.039
days ago as I speak the sentence, and that has

209
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.519
done sixty three hundred views. That is not that is

210
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.279
not a good number. The premiere, which is eleven days

211
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.799
ago as I speak the sentence is up to sixteen thousand.

212
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.919
Those are not good numbers. And what's the other one?

213
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.639
I can remember what the other one is called Ben Gleeb.

214
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.159
I'm never gonna remember that. Goodnight with Ben Glebe, an

215
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.039
episode from thirteen days ago, has seven hundred and eight

216
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.440
thousand views, so that's three times what Trevor Noah is

217
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.000
doing sort of kind of in Goodnight episode five, the

218
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:18.679
guest Dutton Ranches Natalie Allen Lynde, comedian Drew Lynch sixty

219
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.360
four thousand. I don't know are these good numbers? They

220
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.200
don't sound amazing. I digress. Trevor Noah was sharing his

221
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.080
thoughts about the World Cup and said, why is it

222
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.600
that African teams in Middle Eastern teams have to answer

223
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.200
for what their governments and countries are doing, but then

224
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.080
European teams don't have to do this. I'm not sure

225
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.200
what his point was there, who he's mad at or

226
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.000
which country should be answering for what? The specific comment

227
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.960
here seems to be about Iran having to leave the

228
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.679
United States after each game. Send your letters to Trevor Noah.

229
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.600
David Letterman will make his debut at the Montreal Just

230
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.519
for Laughs Comedy Festival. He will host an evening with

231
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.240
David Letterman and special guest Will Arnett at the Place

232
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.720
Day Arts. That is how it is announced in French

233
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.240
Place Day Arts Concert Hall. July twenty first, that's the Tuesday.

234
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.759
I don't know what I'm doing yet, so I screwed up.

235
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.679
You know the big free weird Awl concert that's on Saturday,

236
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.360
July twenty fifth. Well, my daughter is like, hey, why

237
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.279
don't you come visit me when July twenty fifth. Sure

238
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.879
I'll be there because you know your daughter asked you

239
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.679
to visit, and You're like, yeah, I'll go. And then

240
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.159
I was like, oh, that's when the weird Al concert is.

241
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.399
So I don't know. Maybe I'll go up for Letterman

242
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.480
on the Tuesday night and stay for the Wednesday and

243
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.159
do New Faces. I'm also considering not going at all.

244
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.879
I don't know. So again, this is an evening with

245
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.080
David Letterman's and special guest, which is totally different from

246
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.480
his Netflix series. My next guest needs no introduction, so

247
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.200
we'll see. That is your comedy news for today. We're

248
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.840
doing okay into the holiday here right. We've had pretty

249
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.519
robust shows this week. Feeling all right so far as

250
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.279
our record this. I've gotten all that Louis c K

251
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.879
think pieces yet, so I imagine that'll be Thursday's show. So

252
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.559
we're doing okay, doing all right, And it's July now,

253
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.919
so you don't have to share the show anymore. In fact,

254
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.919
you're not allowed to show the show. If you're like, oh,

255
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.000
the show's so good, I got to tell someone. Nope, nope, nope.

256
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.000
You had a month you could have shared it. You didn't.

257
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.200
Now you're not allowed. See you tomorrow
