00:00I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Philosophically, I don't believe that somebody needs to, somebody who's a
00:10comedian, needs to apologize for a joke.
00:15It is a joke. It is meant as a joke. And it's not meant to offend. It's not meant to,
00:23you know, you could not like it. And in all my years, 50 years in the business, I haven't, I
00:33haven't ever publicly kind of apologized for.
00:40This is hard for me. But this is for Kelly Ripa, who in the past has been incredibly supportive. Not
00:51only have I been a guest on her show, but I have, you know, I've co-hosted with her and
01:01I've known her for years.
01:02Michael Gelman, who is a really close friend, is the producer of the show. And when I go out there,
01:11I just try to be entertaining and funny.
01:14And sometimes as a comedian, things don't land the way you mean them to land. And I don't know how
01:26to say this, but not only do I want to say I'm sorry to Kelly,
01:37but, and this is the hardest part, you're right. You're absolutely right. And I'm sorry I didn't see it that
01:49way.
