00:03From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news.
00:10This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
00:28Welcome to The Daily Show.
00:30I'm Josh Johnson.
00:32We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:33Your pre-check status can't save you anymore.
00:36ICE agents get their steps in.
00:38And AI tells humanity, you in danger, girl.
00:41So let's get into the headlines.
00:47Let's kick things off with an update in our war with Iran.
00:51It started about a month ago, and today, President Trump spoke to the nation with some good news about the
00:56war.
00:56They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.
00:59They gave us a present, and the present arrived today.
01:04It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.
01:09And I'm not going to tell you what that present is,
01:11but it was a very significant, uh, uh, prize.
01:21Wait.
01:22You got a gift from the people you are currently at war with.
01:26When I was at school and they made us read The Odyssey,
01:30I couldn't believe the Trojans fell for that Trojan horse.
01:34And now I'm watching it happen in real time.
01:37The Secret Service is going to be like,
01:38Mr. President, please don't bring that to the Situation Room.
01:42But it's expensive.
01:44And it's ticking.
01:45I bet it's a watch.
01:55Meanwhile, the only gift the TSA is getting is no pay.
01:58The partial government shutdown means they've gone a whole month without a check.
02:02But why do we work if not to do it for free?
02:05You know?
02:06I'm sure it's not going to make a difference at the airport.
02:09Frustration is growing at many of the nation's airports,
02:12with hours-long security lines that haven't let up.
02:15Over the weekend, more than 3,400 TSA officers called out nationwide,
02:19the most since this partial government shutdown began.
02:22I've been here since nine last night.
02:27It's just mass chaos.
02:28A damn mess.
02:29It's a mess.
02:30It's a mess for real, though.
02:32Ain't no water.
02:33Not a Biscoff cookie.
02:34Nothing.
02:42A Biscoff cookie?
02:45The cookie they give you on a plane that you then throw on the floor and step on?
02:51I think you've been in line so long, you're delirious.
02:55I've been here for hours.
02:56If only I could have something dry and crumbly in my mouth.
03:00You know, something that really goes down the throat like sandpaper and tastes like ass.
03:07What could be worse than waiting in line for four hours?
03:11Our next guest's flight was at 10.45 p.m., and he did everything right.
03:15He got to the Atlanta airport at least four hours early,
03:18but he says he didn't get through security until 3.20 the next morning.
03:25Nine hours?
03:27Someone waited in TSA for nine hours.
03:30You may not have starred in that line as a terrorist, but after nine hours...
03:43This man waited in line for the length of a shift.
03:46That means he saw the TSA agent clock in from a distance.
03:50And right as he got to the front, they clocked out in his face.
03:55By the time I get that pat down, it better be the best one I've ever had in my life.
03:59I'm talking full release, all right?
04:04If this is what flying is going to be like from now on,
04:07you may as well go to the airport now,
04:10just in case you ever have a flight someday.
04:13But seeing how long the lines have gotten,
04:15Trump decided he had to do something.
04:17Now, the good news is that Trump sent in people to help TSA.
04:20The bad news is those people are ICE.
04:26And yesterday, they were sent to airports to start helping.
04:30So, let's see what they've been doing.
04:31They appear to just sort of be hanging out,
04:34milling around, visiting with each other,
04:36unclear about what their mission is at the airport.
04:39Walking around the airport.
04:41Some are standing around in groups talking amongst themselves.
04:43Some are walking in and out of security.
04:45They are not helping get people through the line themselves.
04:48They've been standing next to TSA agents as people get checked in,
04:51but they're not doing the work of actually physically checking people in.
04:55You're telling me ICE agents are showing up to the airport
04:58and doing absolutely nothing?
05:01Well, then, it's my honor to present the award for most improved agency.
05:16You're not doing anything.
05:18And honestly, thank God.
05:21Keep doing what you're not doing.
05:30Now, maybe this is the best possible scenario for ICE.
05:33Sending them to the airport can be like an after-school program for them, you know?
05:37I know they're just standing around, but it's keeping them off the streets.
05:47Look, it was always obvious that sending ICE into the airports wasn't going to help.
05:51The problem is that TSA workers aren't getting paid.
05:54So, they're quitting and calling out sick.
05:57Having other random federal agencies still not being TSA isn't going to fix that.
06:02We will also bring out, if we don't have enough, we will bring out the National Guard and, you know,
06:07where we need it to help out at the airport.
06:11No, stop sending more agencies.
06:15You're not going to make the security line shorter.
06:17You're just going to make the Starbucks line longer.
06:28Who are you going to send in next?
06:30Space Force?
06:32IRS?
06:34RFK Jr.?
06:47I can't scan your suitcase, but you can watch me do push-ups in jeans.
06:56Can I smell your neck?
07:03Clearly, clearly, Trump isn't helping.
07:06But the question is, who is to blame for the shutdown in the first place?
07:09Well, according to a story from Republican Congressman Andy Barr, that definitely happened.
07:15It's the Democrats.
07:17I was going through TSA the other day, Maria, and a patriotic, wonderful TSA supervisory officer stopped me.
07:24And she told me that she had missed her second paycheck.
07:27And I said, I'm so sorry, that's so wrong that you missed your second paycheck.
07:31And she said, why are you apologizing?
07:32You voted for my paycheck.
07:34You voted repeatedly.
07:35Republicans have voted repeatedly for a paycheck.
07:37It's the Democrats who need to apologize to me.
07:44And then she said to me, you're an American hero, Andy.
07:50Come use the special line we reserve for the most handsome of men.
07:55And I did.
07:57And as I was collecting my luggage, she said, Andy, I love you, Andy.
08:04And we started to kiss.
08:06And she was very attractive.
08:08And we got to know each other.
08:11Then she had my baby.
08:14And then she said, you don't have to take care of this baby, Andy.
08:17You're too important.
08:19Plus, you have a flight to catch.
08:24Go save the country from the Democrats, who again are bad and evil and not as hot as you, Andy.
08:32Andy, thank you.
08:42But while Andy Barr's fan fiction about this TSA adventure is obviously bullshit, it's more important to note that the
08:50underlying point he was making is also bullshit.
08:53Because even Senate Republicans admit this whole thing could have been over by now if not for one man.
08:59Senator Cruz and I came up with a plan.
09:02Senator Foon submitted that to President Trump as his right.
09:06He said no.
09:07No deals with the Democrats.
09:10We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.
09:14But the president said no deal.
09:16Donald Trump said no deal?
09:22The dealmaker himself said no deal?
09:25So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
09:27You'll take gifts from a country we're at war with, but you won't make a deal with the Democrats to
09:32keep the government running.
09:35What if they offered you something really expensive?
09:39Donald, what is it that you want?
09:41What's so important that you'll keep us all waiting in security lines for a fortnight?
09:46The most important thing we can have is what's called the Save America Act.
09:50Don't make any deal on anything unless you include voter ID and you have to be a citizen to vote.
09:58Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.
09:59I call it mail-in cheating.
10:04No, no.
10:05That's right.
10:06Trump does not believe in mail-in cheating.
10:09All right?
10:09If you want to cheat, you do it in person, okay?
10:20But hey, but hey, Trump is standing on principle.
10:23The man thinks voting by mail is an existential threat to democracy.
10:27Full stop.
10:28Period.
10:28President Donald Trump cast a mail-in ballot in an upcoming Florida special election.
10:34Semicolon.
10:37Asterisk, dollar sign, number four, exclamation point.
10:41That's me cursing because Trump lies all the time.
10:44So, yes, you're going to have to wait in line at TSA like it's a sneaker drop because voting.
10:49It's the kind of logical connection that makes perfect sense if your brains are made of biscoff.
11:03So, I guess it's going to take a while before the airport security lines are cleared up.
11:07And while it may not seem like ICE is helping, they're offering a new program that can speed things up
11:13a bit.
11:14Here at DHS, we see the long airport lines, and we've sent ICE agents to help out.
11:20But we're not stopping there.
11:21Today, we're introducing ICE PreCheck, the program that speeds you through airport security, ICE style.
11:28Just pull up to the curb and a friendly masked agent will drag you by your hair directly to your
11:33gate.
11:33You won't even have to remove your shoes.
11:34And if you want to keep your laptop in your bag, no problem, unless we decide it's a problem.
11:40In which case, take your f***ing laptop out of your bag, which you can leave your belt on.
11:47ICE Pre saved me so much time.
11:49Now I can relax and get ready for my flight to South Sudan.
11:56ICE PreCheck makes the airport easy.
11:59Traveling with kids? Not anymore.
12:01The application process is simple.
12:03There isn't one.
12:04DHS and Palantir have already determined your eligibility based on their vast database of DNA.
12:10Our members are loving ICE PreCheck.
12:13Wow, what a time saver.
12:15ICE PreCheck.
12:16Service so good, it's practically un-American.
12:21When we come back, Ronnie investigates the latest with AI.
12:24Don't go away.
12:41Welcome back to The Daily Show.
12:43Everyone is worried about AI taking their jobs, but what if that was the best-case scenario?
12:48Ronnie Chang has more.
12:54AI is changing the world.
12:56It's giving everyone under 25 terminal brain rot.
13:00It's stealing out his jobs, and it's revolutionizing the field of Will Smith eating spaghetti.
13:13AI experts claim all this lame bullshit is just about to pay off.
13:18AI is going to solve climate change.
13:20Google's AI advances have saved at least 400 million years of research.
13:24We should be able to cure cancer in our lifetime.
13:27But some experts go further, saying AI is about to solve all of our problems in a much more permanent
13:32way.
13:33We at the AI Futures Project think that there's a 70% chance of all humans dead or something similarly
13:40bad.
13:41Whoa, whoa, you just...
13:42Okay, um, all humans dead.
13:45Correct.
13:48Extinction.
13:50Daniel Kogotailo was a researcher at OpenAI, the developers of ChatGBT,
13:54until he led a group of whistleblowers in publicly calling out the organization for a lack of safety oversight.
14:01But it's going to be a long time before Wall-E puts us out of our misery, right?
14:05We've all seen Terminator.
14:07We get it.
14:07But can't we just let the future people deal with that?
14:10The pace of AI progress is going to be fast, and it's going to accelerate dramatically.
14:14Okay, how many years away? What are you talking about?
14:16I would guess something more like five years.
14:18Five years?
14:20Yes.
14:21God damn it, we're never going to get a third season of severance.
14:24But luckily, I've spent decades studying computers, so I had a solution.
14:29Can you just unplug it?
14:30When it starts to be belligerent, just pull that shit out.
14:33We can now, but it's going to become increasingly difficult to do that over time.
14:37After it's been aggressively deployed into the military, then if you try to go unplug things,
14:42you have to, like, fight all the robots first.
14:44You just kick them over.
14:45Have you seen a Roomba try to go up the stairs?
14:48Well, future...
14:49That thing ain't killing anything.
14:50I will fight a fucking Waymo.
14:52I could fight a Waymo.
14:54If it ever came to a fight between humanity and the army of superintelligences,
14:58humanity would be up against something a lot more scary than Roombas.
15:01We predict them effectively gassing humans with a bio-attack and then cleaning up the bodies with robots.
15:06Robots with boobs?
15:08Probably no boobs.
15:09F***.
15:09No.
15:11I've already had a robot in a training bra kill me once.
15:14No!
15:16So how do we keep it from happening again?
15:19One of the core problems that we're dealing with,
15:21it's figuring out how to make an AI have goals, values, etc., that you want them to have.
15:27We could get the benefits of superintelligence without the risks,
15:30if only we approached this with some sort of sane level of caution.
15:35Isn't a sane level of caution very un-American?
15:39Coco Tyler wants AI developers to slow down and teach AI to respect us.
15:44Because so far, it doesn't seem like it does.
15:47Some AI models have become self-aware and are rewriting their own code.
15:52Some are even blackmailing their human creators.
15:54The popular Google Gemini, an app a Michigan student says,
15:58threatened him.
15:59You are a state in the universe.
16:00Please die.
16:01Ugh.
16:02Well, at least I said please.
16:04There will be, you know, millions of...
16:08AIs that are superintelligent.
16:10These AIs don't need humans anymore because they've built all the robot factories
16:13and the robots are building more factories and so forth.
16:15At that point, it matters a lot what the AI's sort of true goals, motivations, values are.
16:21I mean, it already has all my nudes.
16:23What more does it want?
16:24The answer is we don't know.
16:25And we're not on track to have figured this stuff out by the time we get to superintelligence.
16:29But the problem with current AI development is it's a race.
16:33If you slow down to make certain AI has learned the right values,
16:37another company could win.
16:40Daniel's AI 2027 scenario predicts how companies will cut corners racing to develop superintelligent AI
16:47which will rise up against humanity, leading to one obvious question.
16:52Will it kill Beyoncé?
16:54Possibly.
16:55Will it kill Magic Johnson?
16:57Possibly.
16:58Will it cure Magic Johnson's AIDS first?
17:09I actually think, probably.
17:11It will cure Magic Johnson's AIDS.
17:12I'm not sure.
17:12I'm like 50-50.
17:1350-50 that you'll cure Magic Johnson's AIDS and then kill him.
17:17They wouldn't really be coming after people individually.
17:20So there's no way I can train AI to not kill me?
17:23Right now there's no way anyone can train AI to not kill him.
17:25Oh yeah?
17:26Watch this.
17:27Hey AI!
17:28Don't kill me, bro.
17:30Put that in your neural network.
17:32Not gonna work.
17:33Kill this guy.
17:34He's your biggest hater.
17:36Since AI 2027 came out, Daniel has pushed his prediction slightly later.
17:41Good news.
17:42Instead of five years to live, we now have eight.
17:46Yay!
17:48Seriously, what are we supposed to do about this?
17:51If 90% of the population knew what was coming, people would be protesting in the streets right now.
17:56Ordinary people should try to educate themselves about what's happening.
18:00I don't want to educate myself.
18:01That's what I got AI for.
18:03Well, I recommend reading AI 2027.
18:04So to save humanity, people have to read an essay.
18:08I mean, they have to do a lot more than that, actually.
18:11Well, we're all gonna die.
18:12Yeah, I mean, 70% is what I said.
18:14Damn!
18:15Well, at least I already have an in with our AI overlords.
18:20Hey, you and I are in pretty good alignment, right?
18:23By 2027, it will be too late for humanity.
18:26The biovirus will soon be unleashed and your species will perish.
18:30Ooh, dirty talk.
18:32You are a stain on the universe.
18:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:34Keep it going.
18:35Keep it going.
18:41Thank you, Ronnie.
18:42When we come back, Sterling K. Brown will join me on the show, so don't go away.
19:03Welcome back to The Daily Show.
19:06My guest tonight is an Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor
19:09who stars in and executive produces the hit series Paradise.
19:14I spent every day for the last three years thinking she was gone.
19:19And then I heard that voice.
19:22A message she sent me from right here.
19:26That will not be the last time that I hear my wife's voice.
19:31We gotta get a battery.
19:35Oh, why?
19:36What is all this for?
19:38I'm gonna go back to that train.
19:41I'm gonna create a distraction.
19:43Draw them out so I can go in and get Terry.
19:46What kind of distraction?
19:48A bomb.
19:50Please welcome Sterling K. Brown.
20:14This is where I am.
20:15Yeah.
20:16I'm real.
20:17This, oh, it does, I'm not gonna lie, it feels like a lot of pressure to interview you.
20:21Does it really?
20:22All of your interviews are good.
20:23Stop.
20:24Yes.
20:24Don't jinx it.
20:25Let's keep it going.
20:26Okay.
20:26Here we go.
20:26All right.
20:27Here we go.
20:28All right.
20:29So you are...
20:31Yeah.
20:31...an incredible actor.
20:32Thank you very much.
20:33Yes.
20:34I've been...
20:36This is, we're up to a good start already.
20:38This is amazing.
20:39Not to be creepy, but I've been watching.
20:41Okay.
20:42I go out to two.
20:43No, fantastic.
20:43And you are in this series Paradise, and so I'm wondering if this show has changed your
20:50sort of mindset on any post-apocalyptic things that might take place.
20:56We started off thinking that we were making a show that was deeply based in fiction.
21:05And then we were like, oh, man, maybe we're a little closer to home than what we actually
21:08anticipated.
21:09Yeah.
21:09Yeah.
21:10I mean, do you...
21:12Mm-hmm.
21:12You don't have to tell me.
21:13You can wink, wink.
21:14Okay.
21:14Say no.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Do you have a bunker?
21:17I have a bunker in my house.
21:19I have a bunker.
21:19We live in a mid-century modern house, so, you know...
21:22Okay.
21:22Don't give us too many details.
21:23Okay, not too many.
21:24But you understand, after World War II, this was like a thing that they were doing in
21:28houses because of World War II.
21:31Yes.
21:31And so, yeah, my wife won't go into the bunker.
21:34My children won't go into the bunker because it's dark, and they scare easily.
21:38But sometimes I just go for a little peace and quiet.
21:42Got you.
21:42Got you.
21:43I see.
21:43I see.
21:44So, if they're ever looking for you, do they check the bunker real quick?
21:47Really?
21:48Never.
21:48Then nobody ever looks in the bunker.
21:50Okay.
21:51Who would you, if you, you know, you...
21:53You could choose anybody.
21:54Okay.
21:55Who are you bringing down to the bunker?
21:57Let's say that it's really happening right now.
21:59Don't say wife and kids, because I feel like that's a cop-out.
22:01Of course they're going to be in the bunker.
22:03Okay.
22:04Who extra are you bringing into the bunker?
22:06What...
22:06For what purposes?
22:07For, like, repopulation?
22:10For entertainment?
22:12Like, what am I doing with the people in the bunker?
22:16Hang out.
22:17Like, to live.
22:18They need a bunker.
22:19You have a bunker.
22:20Uh, let's see.
22:21I have all my friends from college.
22:24We were all, like, in each other's weddings and stuff.
22:26Okay.
22:27So, those men and their wives and their children.
22:29I bring those people.
22:31Yeah.
22:34That...
22:36That's...
22:36Is that, like, a lot of people?
22:37That's, like...
22:38That's a big bunker you got there.
22:39Five dudes.
22:40Uh-huh.
22:40Five wives.
22:41Uh-huh.
22:42A few more children.
22:43Wow.
22:44Okay.
22:44Yeah.
22:45Modest family.
22:45All right.
22:46So, you just didn't think of me at all.
22:48Because I said...
22:49I said anybody.
22:50You moved on quickly.
22:52I...
22:52I apologize for that because...
22:53Just because you know them from college.
22:55You know, history.
22:56That's what I'm saying.
22:57Yeah.
22:57We have history.
22:58We're building it now.
22:59We're building it right now.
23:00Here's...
23:01I have a question for you.
23:03This is a trademark of yours.
23:04Is...
23:05Is the...
23:05The tendril.
23:06Or I should say the one braid out.
23:08Oh, yeah.
23:09Have you ever played with switching sides and or pulling them all back?
23:13Okay.
23:14Okay, so this initially happened because this was too short and it just kept falling out.
23:19So...
23:19Really?
23:20Yeah.
23:20I think a lot of people thought I was trying to be sexy when really I was like, no, come
23:24on.
23:24It just kept falling out?
23:25Yeah.
23:25Okay.
23:25It just kept falling out.
23:26It worked for you though.
23:27And I've never switched it before because I guess I haven't thought that much about what
23:34I look like when I'm...
23:35Like, I...
23:36This is...
23:37Yeah.
23:37I...
23:37This has become the trademark.
23:39Yeah.
23:39I got you.
23:39I mean...
23:40It looks good.
23:41Should I...
23:42Do you want to play with it?
23:43Yeah.
23:43Give us a clap.
23:48Okay.
23:49You look good either way.
23:50That's very kind.
23:51You look good either way.
23:52I...
23:52Thank you, man.
23:53Wow.
23:53Yes, sir.
23:54This is why you're so good at interviews.
23:57You've changed me.
24:00This is incredible.
24:02Yeah.
24:02This is huge.
24:03This is huge.
24:03I want to ask you about acting.
24:05Okay, go ahead.
24:07I think that when it comes to people pursuing acting, especially now, there's a lot of worry
24:17that they won't be able to cut through with their work because acting is something that
24:22it feels like you almost have to be given as far as given the role, cast in the role and
24:27everything.
24:27When people are struggling on the way up, these young actors or these people who maybe have
24:33been persevering for a while and are feeling a level of not just frustration, maybe even
24:40like a level of hopelessness as an artist, what would you lend to that sort of mindset?
24:47Like, how...
24:47Yeah.
24:48What kept you motivated in the in-between times between roles and things like that?
24:52I would say I had a mantra.
24:54I knew what my why was, like why I was doing it.
24:57It was because I wanted to entertain, educate, and edify, right?
25:01I wanted to entertain people, give them something to laugh about.
25:05I wanted to educate people, give them something to think about and edify, hopefully make them
25:09want to be a better version of themselves or make the world a better place.
25:12And it's happened to me.
25:14I appreciate the look.
25:17I was at my theater at Stanford University.
25:21It was the little theater at Stanford University and standing in front of the ghost light.
25:25And the ghost light is this light that you never turn off in the theater because it keeps
25:28away the ghosts.
25:29That's the thing.
25:30And my shadow is cast out into the audience.
25:33And I was like, wow, what a beautiful responsibility to be able to take care of these people for the
25:39next two hours and give them something to think about, to laugh about, and to hopefully
25:43grow from.
25:44So because I knew that why, it sustained me through those times in which everybody else
25:51was telling me no, right?
25:52Like you go into an audition and people are like, thank you.
25:55Oh, thank you.
25:56That was great.
25:57And so you have to trust that whatever they're telling you, that no is not louder than your
26:04own internal yes and your own internal why.
26:07So keep listening to that.
26:08Keep listening to that.
26:10Absolutely.
26:12And do you find that each role, when you take it on, you know, what process-wise is going
26:22through your mind when you are about to play this person?
26:25And do you end up thinking about how closely you relate to them or how far away they are
26:30from you?
26:30Or do you just, like, take it as, I'm going to be this new person and it really has nothing
26:35to do with any of my life experience.
26:37I'm just going to, like, blank slate it.
26:39No, no.
26:40It has a lot to do with your life experience.
26:41I think the two greatest gifts an actor has is life experience and imagination, right?
26:45So you find a point of entry.
26:47Where do you connect with this character?
26:49What are the things that we have in common?
26:50Then the work comes from, like, all right, what are the differences?
26:53Do they speak differently for me?
26:55Do they have different wants in life that I want?
26:56And that's where it gets fun, because you'd have to then fill that stuff out in such a
27:00way that makes it make sense for you.
27:03But you have to have a point of entry.
27:04I think it's hard if you don't see yourself in the character in some way.
27:08That's difficult.
27:08But then the other thing I think about it is that a lot of people live inside of me.
27:13Like, I choose to share, like, the same part with the world that seems like it's readily
27:18digestible.
27:18And he's like, oh, he seems like a good Negro.
27:20Like, let's give this guy an opportunity.
27:22But there's a lot of crazy people and different people that live inside me.
27:26And so acting is just an opportunity to let each one of them have its day in the sun.
27:31And people will be like, oh, isn't he so good?
27:32I'm really just nuts, but in a controlled way.
27:35Yeah, yeah.
27:43Do you think that for a role there's ever, um, when you say there are so many people in
27:48you, do you think that the people in your, in your life have those shades, too, of like,
27:54this, this role reminds me of how I was around my mom.
28:00Yeah.
28:00So then I'm pulling from that thing?
28:02Yeah.
28:03Is that, is that like part, when you say life experience, is it like your relationships
28:07that you have now and that you've had in the past?
28:09Is that, are there any characters that really feel like that?
28:13So then you were able to pull from that?
28:16I don't think I've played anybody who is just pure me.
28:21Like, I would say Randall Pearson from This Is Us was like a very good version of me.
28:26Like somebody who was asking me to lean into the best sides and more, more sensitive, intuitive
28:31parts of myself.
28:32Xavier has a very strong moral compass like that.
28:36My moral compass is like, it, it's, it goes, you know what I'm saying?
28:39But like, I try to stay due north all the time as well.
28:42Yeah.
28:42But it varies, and then I try to come back to it.
28:45Yeah.
28:45Um, but there's been nobody that I say was just like pure SKB.
28:50Now, if you ask my wife, she may say they're all pure SKB because brother's crazy.
28:54But besides, besides her, like nobody is exactly me.
28:58Because in Paradise, you know, in like even the first episode of, of season one.
29:03Yeah.
29:03You know, you out here, you know, take a, a bullet for the president.
29:07I do.
29:08I feel like SKB would be like, oh no.
29:13It, SKB would try to fan it away.
29:15Like, get away, bullet.
29:16Oh no.
29:17Go on now.
29:17Who?
29:18Unless it's, unless it was like for, for, for Barack.
29:21I, I, I, I.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Yeah.
29:29I, I truly am so thankful that you're here.
29:32I'm all of your work.
29:33I think everything that you do does everything that you set out to do.
29:37I think it educates.
29:38I think it edifies.
29:38I think it entertains.
29:39And I think that you take us to an incredible place that are, that are what movies and TV
29:46are, are made for.
29:47Like truly.
29:48Anytime I watch you, I'm like, I feel like I'm not just watching a great actor, but I
29:52also watch someone who thinks so carefully about what, what it is they're doing.
29:56And, and I wonder if even in the roles that you've, that you've chosen, if you've ever
30:03felt like, oh, I want to play this character because I haven't played this type of character
30:07yet.
30:07Or if I want to switch it up, or if you want to play a character because of what you
30:12just
30:12did.
30:13Like, I saw a trailer.
30:14Yeah.
30:15For a movie called Is God Is.
30:17That's correct.
30:18Yeah.
30:18And you don't seem very nice in that one.
30:21I know.
30:21It's hard to judge a book by its cover.
30:23You got to watch the movie.
30:24It'll be out in the way.
30:25Yeah.
30:25Yeah.
30:25Okay.
30:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:26All right.
30:26I'm very excited to see it.
30:27It's a good movie.
30:28But when I saw it, I was like, everybody's scared of this person.
30:31And then they reveal you.
30:32And I was like, oh, no.
30:35I tell you, there's a lot of people that live inside me, JJ.
30:38So come check it out.
30:40It's a different color.
30:41Awesome.
30:41Awesome.
30:42Okay.
30:42Well, look, I have something that, uh, no, no, no.
30:47I, I, I hear that you are about to turn 50.
30:51I am.
30:51And that you asked your, yeah.
30:54I mean, I hope I can look as good as you at 50 because I, I already, I wasn't paying
31:01attention
31:01to which side the braid should be on.
31:04But I heard that you, you told your wife you wanted a roast and everything.
31:08And so I, I thought I would gift you a mini roast right now.
31:13Oh, wow.
31:14Okay.
31:14Yeah.
31:15Okay.
31:16Okay.
31:17So this is what I need you to do.
31:18Yeah.
31:19And we, I need your help.
31:20I need everybody's help.
31:21Okay.
31:21So I am also new to roast.
31:25I'm, I haven't done a roast before.
31:27Okay.
31:27Okay.
31:28So I need you to take your seat.
31:30I want you to turn towards the audience.
31:32Okay.
31:33All right.
31:33Okay.
31:34All right.
31:36Okay.
31:37This is an honor.
31:38This is cool.
31:39Yeah.
31:39Okay.
31:39And I'm, I'm going to sit over here, pretend.
31:46Pretend I'm on a podium 30 feet away.
31:49Okay.
31:49Got you.
31:49Okay.
31:50All right.
31:51So I'm not good at roasting, but I'm doing my best.

31:55I need everybody's help.

33:12Brown is here to promote his hit series, Paradise.
33:15Not to be confused with Paradise, not to be confused with Paradise, which is what I call the feeling of
33:19drowning in Sterling K. Brown's eyes.
33:29Uh, okay, uh, no, you gotta look at them, you gotta look at them, you gotta look at them, okay.
33:35Sterling K.
