00:12All right, we got four left.
00:14Steve, Ron, Eva, and Ray.
00:17Two people move on to the next round.
00:20This is not an easy decision.
00:23You made it extremely tough.
00:29Steve, you're going to move on.
00:30Fuck me.
00:33Man, what am I feeling right now is a ton of adrenaline.
00:36This whole competition has become up and down, whether my personal life or professional
00:39life.
00:39One goes up, one goes down.
00:41But luckily, I'm still here to fight another day, and that's really all I can focus on
00:44right now.
00:45The last person going through is...
00:56Ron, I want to see more of you, man.
00:59I want to see more of you.
01:04You have this natural cadence of comfort, man, of charisma.
01:08It looked like you were having a good time as you were doing your set.
01:13Like, I forgot at one point that you were doing an actual set.
01:17I want to see where that goes in the next stages.
01:21I feel appreciative that I squeaked on through them.
01:25But as Kobe said, job's not done, so there's definitely still more to go.
01:32My asshole ain't released all the way, but a little pressure is now gone.
01:38So for those that did not make it, I'm going to say this, Eva.
01:41You have a very raw, I don't give a fuck energy.
01:45The digs at Marshawn, I felt, were clever.
01:47I felt that there was a nice build.
01:49But I felt like there was a moment where you got very fast in the set.
01:54It was not in a panic way, but it was like, I'm going to get through it.
01:57I'm going to keep going. I'm going to keep going.
01:58And I think you cut off some of the laughs by getting right into the next thing.
02:03Right? I'm going to tell you flat out, you're the only one that didn't address the concept of the roast
02:10in its entirety.
02:11Right? And what I mean by that, the set was very funny, but you didn't hit Marshawn.
02:16When you're doing something like this, the dope thing is about giving energy to the entire set.
02:23I felt like you didn't necessarily stay true to the challenge.
02:27Were you funny? Fuck yeah, you were funny.
02:29Are people going to walk away and say you were funny? Fuck yeah, they're going to say you were funny.
02:32But I think people would understand my why.
02:35So, Eva and Ray, do me a favor and exit with your heads up.
02:39You're more than capable of doing whatever it is that you want to do in this business.
02:42This was just my, a stepping stone. Chin high. This is not a low. It's a high.
02:48Congratulations, baby.
02:50I'm sad, obviously, we didn't make it through, but the craft continues and the journey continues for me.
02:55Hi, mom and dad. Sorry.
02:58Thank you. Roasting.
03:00Roasting? Okay, someone tell me I'm not good at roasting.
03:01Roasting? That's not news to me at all.
03:04I feel like roasting is a separate skill.
03:07You know what I'm saying? Like I said, if you're trying to figure out if someone can cook,
03:09you don't ask them to bake a cake. I know what I'm capable of.
03:12I'm a fantastic, strong, resilient stand-up comedian.
03:17All right.
03:19Jesus. God. That's crazy.
03:21So intense.
03:22It's a competition, guys.
03:24I'm so proud of you, thankful for you, love you.
03:27I love you.
03:27And I'm going to make it proud. I'm going to take it back for both of us.
03:29Please. You got it.
03:30Come on. I got to hold it down.
03:31I will. I'm going to be flush.
03:33All right. Now let's talk about the next step.
03:34You guys have all spent years working on your craft and also your material.
03:39But as I said, this competition needs to have a whole range of skills that you present as a comic.
03:44So what I want to see, I want to see you guys think on your feet.
03:47Some topical material, things that everybody is talking about right now.
03:50And I also want to see you guys do some crowd work.
03:53Involve the crowd into what it is that you're doing.
03:55Sometimes the crowd can throw you a curveball.
03:57How do you handle that curveball?
03:58Only six of you will go on to the live semifinal.
04:01So that means two more people are going home.
04:04Man, it's getting good.
04:05Good luck. And I'll see you next time.
04:07Thank you, guys.
04:09Hey. Hey.
04:10Hey.
04:11Hey.
04:11Hey.
04:13Come on.
04:15Goddamn, that was crazy.
04:16Oh.
04:18Damn, man.
04:21Great job, brother.
04:22Come on, man.
04:23Yeah.
04:24The greatest.
04:38Sorry.
04:38It's a new day.
04:39And I'm just trying to have fun.
04:41Because last night was so high stakes and so much buildup.
04:43And we've been working on this for months.
04:44And today, I want to just kind of keep it loose.
04:46Not think negatively.
04:49Go for it.
04:50Are y'all more nervous or less nervous?
04:51More nervous.
04:52Yeah, it's starting to creep in that this is actually happening.
04:55Hey.
04:55Hey.
04:56Hey.
04:56Hey.
04:59Jesus Christ.
05:00I have to perform in front of my hero, Chelsea.
05:02And I am feeling really nervous.
05:04If I bomb, I'm going to murder everyone in this building.
05:07The elite eight, top eight, what are we referring to you guys as?
05:10He got dressed up for you guys today.
05:11You see this?
05:12Just a cashmere fucking sweatsuit.
05:14It's not the outfit.
05:15It's the body that it comes in.
05:17But I'm excited to see you guys tonight.
05:19You guys are doing topical and crowd work.
05:21That is the competition tonight, which I think is dope as hell.
05:24You ready?
05:24Just to see how you guys are thinking in the moment.
05:27Anyone who's paying attention to everything that's going on in the world,
05:30there's a lot to pull from.
05:31I don't have the topical on day-to-day side.
05:36That is not my weapon of mass destruction, which is why Chelsea's here.
05:39You see that?
05:40You're a valuable asset to me.
05:41Yeah.
05:41I mean, you don't have to make your whole set about what's happening in the world,
05:44but something that is relatable to what everybody sees as happening is kind of nice to touch upon.
05:49It makes you feel unified.
05:51Yeah.
05:51I think in the world of topic, when you go in, operate good and be different.
05:56Is it raw?
05:57And how strong is your opinion in that space?
05:59Absolutely.
06:00Sometimes when you come out as a comedian, especially when you're in venues like this,
06:05people want to go out and get right to the joke so fast.
06:07And you don't understand there's a comfort to intimacy.
06:10When you are involving a crowd, well, a crowd relaxes.
06:13Sir, what the fuck?
06:14What you doing with your neck?
06:15Let your tie go a little bit.
06:16Yeah.
06:17What do you need that up there for?
06:18Open your legs.
06:19Open your fucking...
06:19Open your what?
06:21Tell people to open their legs and to relax.
06:23Well, you get the...
06:24Men, I mean.
06:25Yeah.
06:25You get what I'm saying and you get the reason behind it.
06:29If you don't get the reaction you want, don't let it stop your energy.
06:32Don't let it throw you off.
06:33Break a leg, you guys.
06:34Okay.
06:35This is the eight.
06:36We're in the final eight.
06:37Huh?
06:37One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
06:39You know the beauty of it?
06:40It's gonna be six.
06:42Yeah.
06:42Who, who, who's out?
06:44Who, who...
06:44Look at this.
06:45We get real creepy.
06:46Come on, let's go.
06:47Let's go.
06:48That's it.
06:56Let's go.
06:56Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Kevin Carver!
07:05Oh, wait, wait, hold on.
07:13Shouts out to you guys too, man.
07:15Yeah.
07:16These audiences are like literally gorgeous.
07:18Yeah.
07:20I'm, I'm anxious there, you know?
07:23I don't know what's going on there.
07:24Do you want to hold my hands?
07:25No, I might squeeze it or make it sweaty.
07:27I'm sorry.
07:29Yes, yes.
07:32Sit down, sit down.
07:36I want to welcome, welcome you and the world to Funny AF.
07:40Uh, this is my search for the next great stand-up star.
07:45Okay?
07:46And tonight, well, you'll see the final eight comics still in competition.
07:49After their sets, the film will be cut to six.
07:52Those six comics move on to our semifinal on Monday, May 4th.
07:56Then it's up to the global audience who votes live to decide who makes the finale.
08:01Okay?
08:01Who wins it all?
08:03And joining me tonight is an A-list comedian who's been delivering off the charts comedy for years.
08:09Do me a favor, guys.
08:10Put your hands together for my special guest judge, Chelsea Handler, ladies and gentlemen.
08:16Yeah.
08:24Hi, you guys.
08:26Look at that.
08:28Hi.
08:31Chelsea's value is bar none.
08:33She has been amazing in dealing with the world of topical humor, right?
08:37In the days of Chelsea lately, she dealt with whatever was going on in the world in real
08:42time, broke it down in a funny way that was only unique to her and her style.
08:46Tonight, Chelsea, I think, you know, you're visual to what the performances break down to be as you're out.
08:52It's not a visual.
08:53It's just an assessment.
08:55It's not...
08:55It's your visual.
08:55But it's not the right word that you're using.
08:57What do you mean?
08:57You're visual.
08:58You're looking at the fucking people.
08:59You're visual.
09:01You're visualizing what's good about the set versus what isn't, Chelsea.
09:05You're visual.
09:06I'm assessing.
09:07I'm not visualizing.
09:08That's imagining something that's not even happening.
09:10What you're doing is pissing me off.
09:11That's what you're doing, Chelsea.
09:13Okay?
09:14Just fucking let me say the word.
09:15It says funny AF with Kevin Hart.
09:18Let me fucking talk, Chelsea.
09:21God.
09:24I love her.
09:25I really do.
09:25I love her.
09:26All right?
09:27Are you guys ready to see some comedy?
09:29Yeah?
09:31Then, God damn it, let's see some comedy.
09:33First off...
09:36We gotta make everybody proud.
09:38I'm a little rusty in the crowd work department.
09:40And I'm not used to doing it in Los Angeles.
09:43I haven't really performed on the West Coast.
09:45Such a beautiful crowd.
09:46Look at them.
09:49He's representative of Los Angeles.
09:51Will you stop it?
09:52Stop touching my microphone.
09:53I'm a little nervous about showcasing my viewpoints.
09:56My background is really different.
09:58Being raised really conservative, moving really far left,
10:01but still having a good relationship with my conservative friends and family.
10:04I didn't want to, like, hurt any of my friends' feelings or go too far.
10:08I think the challenge is gonna see if, like, what my energy and my vibe is,
10:11if it meshes with what the audiences are out here.
10:14All right, guys.
10:15First up, a comic from a really small town in Virginia.
10:18Make some noise for Winston Hodges!
10:32Hell yeah!
10:33What's up?
10:34Let's go, dude.
10:36This shit rocks, man.
10:37I'm feeling good, brother.
10:38I'm feeling excited, dog.
10:39You fucking...
10:40Yeah, bro.
10:41I'm feeling good.
10:42Yeah.
10:43What about you, brother?
10:44You fucking excited for this shit?
10:45You fucking pumped right now?
10:47Yeah, you better fucking be.
10:48You just saw the most famous black man on earth introduce the least famous white person
10:52you've ever seen in your fucking life.
10:55I like your energy, man.
10:57You fucking smoke?
10:58You get high?
10:59You drug addict?
11:01You better, yeah.
11:02Well, you better fucking grow up, man.
11:03I don't know what to tell you, dude.
11:05It's 2026.
11:06Shit is fucked up.
11:07I don't know what to tell you, dude.
11:09I'll say this, man.
11:11I live in Virginia.
11:12I'm right outside Washington, D.C.
11:13And D.C. and Virginia, they change their weed laws all the time.
11:17But as somebody that's 35, I remember when weed was illegal so that everybody that fucking
11:22used to smoke it, they were fucking cool about it, man.
11:25They used to be chill about it.
11:27Not now that it's legal.
11:29There's people getting high that got no goddamn fucking business getting high, dude.
11:35It's true, man.
11:36Because I come from the type of small town where every Christmas I go home and I get high with
11:40all my high school friends.
11:42And every last one of them are hardscore, right-wing, MAGA-level Republicans.
11:46And I don't know if you guys have gotten high with a MAGA Republican before.
11:50The fucking vibes are off, man.
11:53Like, it's not.
11:54The vibes are bad.
11:56It's not a good time.
11:59It's true, man.
12:00Weed is supposed to chill you the fuck out.
12:03No.
12:03Yeah.
12:04Honestly, man, every time I'm home and I'm around all my Republican friends that are getting
12:08high, when they start saying their ideas, it makes me realize everything that comes out
12:12of the White House the last 18 months really feels like a group of Republicans got high
12:17for the first time.
12:19Don't you feel like every day you turn on the fucking news and there's some new dipshit
12:23on TV being like, we're going to have a UFC fight at the White House.
12:39Every fucking day, man, every day it's just some new dude that kind of looks like me being
12:44like, y'all think we could buy Greenland?
12:49Do you guys think that's a thing we can do?
12:53You got to joke about it, man, because I don't know if you know this.
12:57We are fucking cooked, man.
12:59Like, it's done.
13:00I live right outside Washington, D.C., and shit is scary, man.
13:05Every day I turn on the news.
13:06This is shit going on with Iran and the Middle East and gas through the fucking roof
13:10and you're still going on with Russia and Ukraine.
13:12Every day you turn on the news, man.
13:13And I was raised really religious, so even though all that shit goes on every morning,
13:17I wake up right outside Washington, D.C., and I pray and I thank my Lord and Savior,
13:24Jesus Christ, every day.
13:27I thank Him every day that at least I get to live inside the blast radius.
13:33You know what I mean?
13:33Like, I got to make some tough decisions if you don't live in the blast radius.
13:40When a nuke hits, do you know which one of your parents you're going to eat?
13:43Do you know which one it is?
13:45The thing I'm most excited about is when that nuke hits
13:48and the light washes over my fucking body and I turn to dust,
13:53I'll be like, God damn, I finally hit my goal weight.
13:56You know what I mean, I think?
13:57I've been Winston Hyges.
13:58You guys have a wonderful night.
14:00That was an A+.
14:02He's awesome.
14:07That was an A+.
14:08You forget his awkwardness.
14:11I can't even walk you because of the smell that's coming off of your perfume.
14:15It's very strong.
14:16It's fucking cologne.
14:18I think all in all, in the spirit of the competition, I think I did what I was supposed to
14:23do.
14:24Woo!
14:26How do you feel?
14:27How do you feel, bro?
14:27It felt like going first.
14:29Okay.
14:29Okay.
14:31You guys, this is so fun!
14:37I am, as always, terrified.
14:40I feel like I'm so in the good graces, it's not even real.
14:44Like, everyone's amazing.
14:45You really saw the level yesterday.
14:46Like, everyone is here to play.
14:48There's no weak links.
14:50And I'm feeling it.
14:51I'm feeling the pressure.
14:52This Bengali comic kicked off the roast last time.
14:56From New York City, Usama Siddiqui!
15:07Keep it going!
15:12How are we feeling? Feeling good?
15:16We love ourselves, yeah?
15:18Yeah!
15:19You gotta love yourself, man.
15:20We're all insecure about something, right?
15:22You got a small dick.
15:23You got a small dick.
15:24You're like, oh no, I hope nobody finds out I have a small dick.
15:27Right?
15:27You got a big dick.
15:28You're like, oh no, I hope nobody finds out I can't read.
15:32That's you.
15:32Right?
15:33That's you.
15:33You got a massive dick.
15:34You're like, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh.
15:37You got a super tiny dick.
15:39You're like, we're gonna save Venezuela.
15:42We're gonna do it.
15:49We're gonna do it.
15:51You're gonna do it.
15:51Donald Trump, his, all his, people are crazy.
15:53You know this, right?
15:54Chrissy Noem, her husband was caught cross-dressing.
15:57Y'all know about this?
15:58Why is it when Republicans get caught, it's never like a normal amount of gay, ever.
16:03It's never like, oh, he was like holding someone's hand in a park.
16:06No, it's like Senator found with nine dudes in a Buc-ee's bathroom.
16:12So much fluid, nine dudes died.
16:16Jesus Christ, man.
16:18That's the thing with the worst Republicans, they got this anti-gay sentiment.
16:21You know what I'm saying?
16:23Bro, homophobic or no?
16:25Yeah.
16:26Just quick, quick fire.
16:26Don't think, don't think, bro.
16:27Real quick.
16:28He's gotta check.
16:29He's gotta check real quick, okay?
16:32You can't, you can't.
16:33Bro, homophobic or no?
16:35Okay, but you're black, so your dad is homophobic, right?
16:40Listen, all black dudes are homophobic as fuck.
16:43But they're funny about it, right?
16:44Because when they want to call someone gay, they'll say everything besides the word gay, right?
16:48They'll be like, your friend Jimmy a little loose in the shoes.
16:57Hey, all I'm saying is the boy plays tambourine.
17:04I'm like, are you saying he's gay?
17:06Boy, I ain't saying shit.
17:10But that boy likes to slip and slide.
17:15You know what I'm saying?
17:19Oh, my God.
17:20No, no, my God, my God.
17:21Always, always, always.
17:23That's good.
17:25Kevin, I had an old black dude roommate, never said gay.
17:28If I had a gay friend, he was like, that boy got the devil's butt.
17:33That boy got that devil's booty.
17:36Kevin, then my friend went trans and he was, now he's got Satan's coochie.
17:42Oh, shit.
17:43Clap it up if you grew up Christian, clap it up.
17:46Okay, awesome, awesome.
17:48So these people grew up homophobic.
17:50Okay?
17:53Bro, I grew up Muslim, bro.
17:55I had Muslim leaders doing homophobic speeches, right?
17:57But they're always doing it in, like, deep Arabic, right?
18:00So it was always like,
18:07I'm like,
18:08I'm like, yo, how you gonna hate on gay people
18:10while sounding like you're sucking a dick?
18:16Listen, y'all been amazing.
18:17Thank y'all so much.
18:18Such a great set.
18:19Such a great set.
18:20Thank you, guys.
18:21Thank you, guys.
18:22Oh, my God.
18:30In a theater like that,
18:31I've never gotten a standing ovation like that before.
18:34That was an insane experience.
18:37I usually never rate my sets well,
18:39but I think that was, that was a nine.
18:41That was a good set.
18:43That was a very good set.
18:44I feel good.
18:45Brother, good stuff.
18:47Damn.
18:48And yet you were scared.
18:48Just get the first standing ovation.
18:51How much, was that like primarily crowd work?
18:55It was crowd work,
18:55but I was like working bits in
18:56and kind of working off the crowd.
18:58You making me think rearranging my stuff.
19:01Yeah.
19:01It's all good.
19:02He's a star to introduce difficult subject matter
19:05and make it light and funny.
19:06Like the black experience and black homophobia.
19:09One thousand percent.
19:09You're dying because it's true.
19:10That's my dad.
19:11That's my fucking dad.
19:12He is, he's charming because his energy looks fun.
19:16Yeah.
19:16It doesn't look forced.
19:17It doesn't look like I'm coming to my next joke.
19:20Here's the robot.
19:21His participation like with crowd towards crowd
19:25was even so good because it was about,
19:27Hey man, what are you?
19:28Oh, you're going to be,
19:28you're going to do this quick, quick.
19:30What are you?
19:30Are you homophobic?
19:31Yes or no?
19:31Quick, quick, quick.
19:31And confident.
19:32Like confident and the stage presence.
19:33That's important to have stage presence.
19:35To come out here and command the attention of everybody.
19:39I agree.
19:39Bro, you're going to kill it.
19:39You're the man.
19:40Appreciate it.
19:40Good stuff.
19:42We can knock it out.
19:43My guy.
19:43Right on.
19:45I got picked last.
19:46I'm not certain as to what made it between me
19:51and whoever else didn't get in,
19:53but I've done crowd work.
19:55I've done topical.
19:56So now we're back in my element.
19:57I will absolutely be one of the semifinalists.
20:01All I got to do is do my job
20:03and you're going to get these laughs one way or another.
20:06I can't stress this enough.
20:08We are dealing with our top eight.
20:10And you're seeing people come out with fucking real,
20:15real, real fucking thunder, man.
20:17This is what comedy and competition is about.
20:25So listen, about this ice cream thing, man.
20:28That was a little thing, right?
20:30I did not mean for it to be my whole fucking life story,
20:34all right?
20:34Though nobody asked me shit about no motherfucking ice cream,
20:37no more, all right?
20:38If I had it my way, people would remember me as the coolest,
20:42most handsome, hugest dick, funniest guy in the world,
20:46you know?
20:46But that's just me, right?
20:48From Detroit, Michigan, please show some love to my guy,
20:52Ron Taylor!
21:04I want Wayne to be good.
21:08Cut it, cut it, cut it.
21:09What's going on, good people?
21:13All right.
21:14Like you said, I am from Detroit.
21:19Detroit!
21:19Okay, y'all must have never been there.
21:23Detroit is fucked up!
21:25It's rough out there.
21:27Most places need the police.
21:31Detroit, we need the Avengers.
21:33We need...
21:35There's a story y'all might not know about this,
21:37cause y'all white, but...
21:40There's a rapper who got attacked.
21:42They was trying to snatch his chain, right?
21:45They wrestled him.
21:46He took they gun, shot them.
21:49I knew that story was about a person from Detroit,
21:53just from hearing it.
21:55Cause people in Detroit, we have dreams of having shoot-outs in a club.
22:01We all want to be Rambo.
22:02It was my little brother's dream to be shot in a club.
22:08That was his dream.
22:09He thought he was going to get cool points for it.
22:12I had to tell him, I ain't nothing hard about being shot.
22:15He said, if you want to impress me,
22:17I want to see you get hit with a bow and arrow in the club.
22:22Just imagine my brother dancing.
22:24Oh snap, this party's all right.
22:26Somebody go, I can't stand this motherfucker.
22:28Man, every time I come in here...
22:35Oh, fuck!
22:3750 Cent got shot nine times.
22:39Take nine arrows to the chest.
22:42Had to get the fuck out of Detroit.
22:44Went to Austin, Texas.
22:46It was weird.
22:47I was in Texas when Trump won the second time.
22:50My mama was all mad.
22:51She called me, what the fuck?
22:54You just let Trump win?
22:58I said, I ain't they leader.
23:01The fuck you want me to do?
23:04But I get it.
23:05Like that ice shit, that, that is different.
23:08And I tell you, as a black man,
23:10I thought I would feel happier seeing white people
23:12get fucked up by the police.
23:13I did.
23:14I did.
23:15And it was sad.
23:16I didn't like it.
23:17Cause y'all not ready for it.
23:18Y'all were surprised.
23:24Y'all were shocked.
23:26Y'all were shocked.
23:27Just, oh, me?
23:28Yes, motherfucker, you.
23:32What y'all thought we been rapping about this whole time?
23:35That's funny.
23:37Avengers Doomsday is coming out.
23:38Y'all ready?
23:41Hell yeah.
23:42Those are my favorite movies, all the superhero movies.
23:45That's all I think about is different powers to have.
23:48White lady.
23:51Be serious.
23:52If you could have any power, one power, what would it be?
23:56I don't know.
23:56You don't know.
23:58Maybe the power to think.
24:00Come on now.
24:01There you go, Ron.
24:02There you go, Ron.
24:04And you miss you.
24:05This shit.
24:07Okay.
24:08Asian man.
24:10You could have one power, what would it be?
24:12Speed.
24:12Speed.
24:13Okay, you're a freak.
24:14You want to touch people and run.
24:15I get it.
24:16There you go, Ron.
24:18Speed.
24:18Yes.
24:20White lady.
24:20You could have one power, what would it be?
24:22Strength.
24:22Strength.
24:23Okay, you scared.
24:24I get that.
24:24Get them niggas off you.
24:25I get it.
24:27I'll tell you the best power to have, right, is to heal like Wolverine.
24:33There it is.
24:37See, they don't tell you the other side of Wolverine's powers, right?
24:42Condom.
24:42What the fuck is that?
24:43I'm fucking everybody raw.
24:45I just heal right up.
24:47Do you know how many drugs Wolverine is doing?
24:51The gonorrhea.
24:53What's that?
24:55Ladies and gentlemen, that's my time.
24:56I'm Ron Taylor.
25:03Great job, Ron.
25:05He's got stage presence.
25:06He needed it.
25:07He's charismatic.
25:07He needed it.
25:08Because yesterday, he was shaky yesterday.
25:10Oh, really?
25:10Oh, oh.
25:10He came back strong today.
25:12And it's original.
25:13It's been a good run.
25:14Within current events and culture, let me educate you guys.
25:18Right.
25:18Because I'm going to make you understand the world that I don't know of you know.
25:22His crowd work was the best crowd work that's been done all night.
25:25Ron was so good with his, okay, what's your superpower?
25:29What?
25:30That's a great, also great question to be asking people.
25:33But he had a punchline for each one.
25:34Yeah.
25:34I think Usama's crowd work first, his second.
25:36This kind of crowd work as I'm doing it?
25:38You don't have that much of a thing?
25:39No, literally, I went out there mentally.
25:40I'm talking directly to a person, asking him questions.
25:43And I'm like, what is crowd work?
25:45Really?
25:46When we get down to it.
25:48Lines.
25:48Five seconds.
25:49Come on, five seconds.
25:50Ready?
25:50Let's go, five seconds.
25:53So, I've been insecure throughout this competition.
25:55Because I'm the newest young.
25:56Okay.
25:57I feel like, I feel like it's mild.
25:59You're the newest young.
25:59I'm the newest young.
26:00Your youth.
26:01I feel like I have maybe a chip on my shoulder because I am the least experienced and like the
26:05youngest
26:05person here.
26:05Every set you do is already like the most you set.
26:09It takes to like mid-30s, I feel like, to get there and you're already there.
26:13And I'm like so blown away.
26:14And like, you are like so good.
26:16Thanks, bro.
26:17Here's our newest stand-up from Kansas via New York.
26:22Here is Olivia Carter!
26:29Yes!
26:30Keep it going for me!
26:32Yes!
26:33Woo!
26:35Wow!
26:37I'm so happy to be here.
26:39Oh, my God.
26:40What a thrill.
26:43Were any of you beaten by your siblings?
26:45Make some noise if you were beaten by your...
26:50Yeah, there's a lot of trauma in this room.
26:53What'd they do to you guys?
26:54What'd they do to you?
26:55He drove over my hand with a remote control vehicle that he put pushpins on the wheels.
27:00If you didn't hear that, he put needles on a toy car and then ran over his hand with it.
27:06And when he first said it, I thought, oh, a real car.
27:08And then you found out it was a toy car and you're like, oh, he's kind of being a pussy.
27:14And then you found out they put needles on a toy car and you're like, oh, your sibling should be
27:18in prison.
27:20What's he doing now?
27:21Sorry, it could be a woman.
27:22But is it a woman?
27:23No.
27:24Totally, it's not.
27:24Oh, okay.
27:27He just smokes a lot of weed and paints.
27:29He just smokes and paints.
27:31Okay.
27:31Sounds like Hitler.
27:34My sister, she used to kick me in the vagina every day.
27:39Yeah, and she, like, sized nine feet.
27:43So it really set vaginal standards too high for me.
27:47You know, guys will be like, do you like my cock?
27:49And I'm like, well, it's no foot, you know?
27:56And I've been doing this thing recently where a person I've been thinking about a lot at this time is
28:01Erica Kirk.
28:03And let's give it up for her.
28:05Just kidding.
28:05She sucks.
28:06Oh, my God.
28:07Don't do it.
28:08Someone was going to do it.
28:09That was crazy.
28:11And do you guys know how her and Charlie met?
28:14So she went in for a job interview to work for his company.
28:18And he was like, you're incredible, but I can't hire you because I want to date you.
28:25I was like, I guess that's better than the other way around, like going out with a guy.
28:29And he's like, can I hire you?
28:30You know?
28:32But I'm like, what did she say on the interview?
28:35She was like, my greatest strength.
28:37I guess I bounce back quickly from tragedy.
28:41Oh.
28:42Good.
28:43Good joke.
28:46And I don't have a gag reflex.
28:49He was like, that's my wife.
28:52And I'm originally from Kansas, which everyone is disgusted by.
28:56And I'm like, I didn't mean to.
28:59It all happened really fast.
29:02And Kansas has been in the news a lot because they just passed this law that basically makes it, like,
29:07illegal to be trans.
29:09And it's like, there's enough overalls to go around, you guys.
29:13You know, you're gonna be okay.
29:15And you know what actually freaks me out?
29:17I would love a trans child.
29:18You know what freaks me out?
29:19Just like having a, just a son.
29:24Cause one day, there'll be a man in your house.
29:28What the fuck?
29:31If you have a kid, you're just slowly letting a man into your home.
29:37That's good.
29:38That's good.
29:38And then he could have friends over.
29:40That could be up to, like, nine men.
29:43That's a branch of government.
29:46Amount of men.
29:46And dads are always like, you don't want too many daughters.
29:49You do not want too many daughters.
29:50Right, you know.
29:51Look at the Kardashians.
29:53That was way too many women.
29:55That was so many women, their dad became one.
29:57So, watch out.
29:59Okay, thank you guys!
30:02You're such a good writer.
30:03Like, everything is an OG, clever angle.
30:06That is original shit.
30:08Oh!
30:09Bam, bam, bam, bam!
30:12It does feel closer.
30:13And like, the longer I stay in, the more I want the cheese.
30:17I want the cheese.
30:19You did such a great job.
30:20Thank you, guys.
30:21I hope you start just calling it, I want the cheese.
30:22I want the cheese!
30:23No, I'm lactose.
30:24I'll fart.
30:25You're gonna crush.
30:26Bye!
30:28It's kind of an interesting time in my life.
30:29My personal life has gone down quite a bit.
30:31My fiance and I split up.
30:34Seven years we lived together.
30:35We were planning to get married yesterday.
30:37It was supposed to be the wedding.
30:38And that kind of fell apart, obviously.
30:40But, you know, it just made me realize that comedy's been the thing
30:43throughout my life since I was 20 years old that never left.
30:48It's been there in my darkest days.
30:49It's been there in my best days.
30:51So, the Steve Fury train is gonna just keep going, man.
30:54Guys, our next comic, this guy always brings the energy.
30:58From Los Angeles, here is Steve Fury!
31:11And now, how are we doing tonight?
31:16I'm excited.
31:17This lineup is fantastic.
31:19We've got the line at a DMV right here.
31:22That's great.
31:23We've got the offensive line right here.
31:25We've got Planned Parenthood right there.
31:27This is what you need.
31:29Four girls, six abortions.
31:30That's what I like.
31:31How are you doing, beautiful?
31:33Blonde-haired Mexican?
31:34That's natural, right?
31:35That was going on.
31:37What's your name?
31:38Carol.
31:38Carol?
31:39Beautiful name.
31:40Are you single?
31:41Yeah.
31:42Yeah?
31:42Ooh!
31:43What's your favorite sign?
31:46Um...
31:47Leo.
31:47Leo?
31:48That's my sign!
31:49I'm an Aries.
31:50I'm actually an Aries.
31:50I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
31:51Don't tell Carol.
31:52She took a long time to think of that.
31:54It's not her fault.
31:55I fucking hate billionaires, man.
31:57This is what I want to do, guys.
31:58I'm not gonna lie to you.
31:59If I could, I would kill every single billionaire.
32:01Does that sound pretty cool?
32:03Does that sound pretty fucking cool?
32:05This is the problem.
32:06I've been trying to figure out which one.
32:07It turns out every one.
32:08So I said, let's reverse engineer this bitch, right?
32:10Let's see which ones I don't want to kill.
32:11And I found two.
32:12Number one, Warren Buffett, right?
32:14Warren Buffett was everybody's first billionaire.
32:16He's like the Pikachu of billionaires.
32:18You know what I mean?
32:18You like him.
32:19He's kind of cute.
32:20You know why you like him, but he's there.
32:22Another one of my favorites is a guy named Phil Knight.
32:24You guys know Phil Knight?
32:25CEO of Nike.
32:26He designed Jordans.
32:27If you like Jordans, he designed 1 through 13.
32:29He's getting a little bit old.
32:30He just donated $2 billion to the College of Oregon's Health and Sciences
32:34to cure cancer.
32:35Pretty fucking cool, right, Carol?
32:36Pretty fucking cool.
32:38I will say this.
32:39If someone gives you $2 billion to cure cancer, you gotta cure cancer.
32:43You know what I'm talking about?
32:44You can't come back not curing cancer for $2 billion.
32:49I fail shit for free every fucking day.
32:52I would love to not cure cancer for $2 billion.
32:56I look forward to the phone call.
32:57Phil, what up?
32:58Yeah.
32:59Yeah.
33:01Fucking didn't do it, man.
33:02It was hard.
33:02Cancer's hard, dude.
33:03It was hard.
33:04Yeah, no, I'm cool.
33:05I'm just chilling at the beach house eating sashimi right now.
33:07It's not that bad.
33:08Can't complain.
33:10Who's your favorite person in this administration, Carol?
33:12Do you like anybody in this administration?
33:15No.
33:15No.
33:16No.
33:16God, you're good.
33:17Thank God you were up front.
33:18Let me tell you.
33:18It's not like I'm gonna be on Netflix with this shit or anything.
33:21Um...
33:22I like Pete Hanks because he's the first guy where you could look at him and be like,
33:26maybe I'm the secretary of events one day.
33:28I don't know.
33:28It could happen to you, dude.
33:29You used to be beer bonging one day and then you're in the fucking presence area.
33:33So I'm trying to get in, you know, I'm trying to get in the mindset, right?
33:35And this is my idea for invading Iran.
33:37Number one, you send in Gen Z, just fodder.
33:40They're dead.
33:41They can't make it.
33:42They're not gonna make it.
33:43They're not gonna make it, guys.
33:45It's because they're not having sex and they're not drinking.
33:48You can't go to war not drinking whiskey, just sipping matcha in the trenches.
33:53It just doesn't work out, you know what I mean?
33:54The second wave right here, OnlyFans models, right?
33:58Yeah.
33:59Cause you gotta think about it, these guys only seen chicks in burkas for 80 years.
34:03Imagine 50,000 BBLs traversing the Iranian countryside.
34:07Just Riley Reid on a horse with an axe coming at you.
34:11You're not gonna shoot the hottest woman you've ever seen in your fucking life.
34:15You're not gonna be looking down the barrel being like,
34:16Sir, I can see your ass from the front.
34:19I think we should listen to what they have to say.
34:23And that's where we come in, folks.
34:25That's the boys, 30 to 50 year olds, no ACLs.
34:28Riddled with gout, walking the countryside.
34:31We can't bend down to shoot anybody.
34:34Has anyone seen my CPAP machine?
34:36I can't sleep in the desert.
34:38My name's Steve Fury, thank you guys very much.
34:45So that was not a great set.
34:47I don't think it was a great set.
34:49The beginning was a little rough.
34:50I think the crowd work aspect threw him off without getting responses and or the energy that he could have
34:59been looking for.
35:00But you also don't blame the person you're talking to for the response.
35:03No. No.
35:03Like, you work with it. You don't make fun of them and belittle them.
35:06No.
35:06How you feel, brother?
35:08It's all right.
35:09Y'all all right?
35:09Solid six out of ten.
35:11Well, come on over to the all right couch, my good man.
35:14I wish I would have slowed down, cut one of my jokes, paused for laughter a little bit more.
35:21Crowd work is a part of doing stand-up.
35:22It's a skill set.
35:24Audiences love when you pull jokes right out the hat.
35:26But I look at every one of my competitors' faces and I realize, you could win this.
35:30Like, there's not a person I see who can't win this.
35:32So this is now a death match.
35:34All right.
35:35Our next comment, Ridge Thomas!
35:49Yo.
35:52Very happy to be here.
35:54I have learned so much about the presidency in the last year and a half.
36:00Because I'm going to be honest with y'all.
36:01I had no idea a president could do all that.
36:05The president could do whatever the fuck he wants.
36:09Like, I'm not going to lie.
36:10I look back and I'm low-key disappointed in Barack.
36:14That's good.
36:15Very good.
36:16After the last year and a half, I'm like, damn, nigga, we could have really had white slaves.
36:26If this nigga would have just locked in!
36:30Because the current president going off, the current president got everybody scared.
36:34I haven't heard anyone speak Spanish in public in months.
36:40This is Los Angeles.
36:42I walk around seeing Mexicans.
36:44They out here whispering and shit like, mira, mira!
36:48Shhh!
36:50I'm from New York.
36:51We all go to the bodega.
36:52The bodega's love.
36:56You walk up in there, you're like, yo, papi, what's good?
36:58Where's Juan?
37:00Now you go in there, he's like, yo, primo, you making it hot.
37:02My name is John.
37:03I'm like, okay.
37:07God, everybody's scared.
37:08I thought I was getting deported and I'm from here.
37:11I thought I was getting sent back to Haiti.
37:13I'm too American to go to Haiti.
37:16I own a water pick.
37:17I can't go.
37:20And I'm a good citizen.
37:22I follow the laws in this country even when I don't believe in them.
37:25Last year, I was in Texas being messy.
37:27Met this girl.
37:29Got her pregnant.
37:31Had to get an abortion.
37:34And when it was all over, I turned her into the police,
37:37because that's illegal in Texas.
37:38You can't...
37:41Can't do that.
37:42I was like, get her!
37:46Like a good Christian would.
37:50What's your name, dog?
37:52Kevin.
37:52Kevin.
37:53Everyone say, what's up, Kevin?
37:54What's up, Kevin?
37:55Kevin, who you here with?
37:57My wife, Kelly.
37:58Your wife, Kelly.
37:58Nice.
37:59How long y'all been together?
38:00Ten years.
38:01Married three years.
38:01All right, all right.
38:04What about you, bro?
38:05Who you here with?
38:05My wife, Maya.
38:06Okay.
38:08Yeah, strike two.
38:09Who looks romantic in here?
38:10Who look like a lover?
38:13The top?
38:14You niggas are not even here.
38:15Anyway.
38:18I can't even see you niggas, huh?
38:20What about this guy right here?
38:24What's your name, dog?
38:24Ali.
38:25Ali?
38:26All right, and who you here with?
38:27My wife.
38:28Your wife.
38:29Strike three.
38:30Yeah, fellas, look.
38:31I don't really need to be talking to you niggas.
38:34I'm a wingman.
38:35I'm here to make y'all look good.
38:37You come to the comedy show with a pretty girl,
38:39and I ask you who you here with,
38:40that's a chance to say something romantic like,
38:41my beautiful date, my gorgeous wife.
38:44All three of y'all.
38:45Who this bitch?
38:46Yeah, yeah.
38:47Yeah, it's that one.
38:49That's good stuff.
38:50I'm trying to help you get a blowjob.
38:52Just say something nice.
38:54Look at Ali.
38:55He, like, asked me again.
38:56No, no.
38:58But, yo, that's my time.
38:59My name's Rich Thomas.
38:59Thank y'all very much.
39:07Great attitude.
39:08Cute, adorable.
39:09I like him a lot.
39:10I'm so proud.
39:11And he was real.
39:12And, to hit you with the reverse reverse.
39:15Like, crowd work.
39:16Our information, a suggestion.
39:17Guys, do it at the top.
39:18Come out.
39:19Get the crowd on your side.
39:20And he also had three strikeouts,
39:23and then still cleans it up at the end.
39:25Yes, yes.
39:25That I appreciate.
39:26Well, the strikeouts was a part of the joke, though.
39:29Thank you for explaining that to me.
39:30yeah, I'm here with this bitch.
39:32Yeah.
39:32The strikeouts were to the audience.
39:33Which is how I feel.
39:34Yeah, that's how I would introduce myself.
39:36Well, I would never introduce you if I'm with you.
39:38I would introduce you as this bitch.
39:39You're this bitch.
39:41That's exactly who you are.
39:42I was actually gonna say my queen.
39:43Don't make me throw up.
39:47I didn't think I'd make it this far.
39:48This month is my two-year remission from breast cancer.
39:51So, I've just been trying to get back,
39:53being able to stand up on stage for like 30 minutes
39:55and do a set.
39:56I know a lot of these guys are like, they're touring.
39:58And I know they probably had the opportunity
40:00to do more crowd work on the road
40:01because they've had the chance.
40:02But I feel like I was doing crowd work at the hospital.
40:05I'm learning how to be a comedian now
40:08after everything I've been through.
40:09But I think it'll be worth it.
40:11And hopefully everyone knows and can see that, like,
40:14I'm a good comedian and I can do it.
40:17You know, I hope.
40:18I really hope.
40:18I really hope.
40:19All right, guys.
40:20Are we still here?
40:21Is my crowd still here?
40:24Guys, this is a big fucking deal.
40:27From Los Angeles, make some noise for Felicia Fultz!
40:43Yes!
40:45It's dangerous going outside now.
40:47I don't know if y'all know this.
40:48I don't know how y'all got here safely, but it's dangerous.
40:51Everybody, they love blasting away now.
40:53That's the thing.
40:54You cut somebody off in traffic,
40:55they ready to blast you at the light.
40:57It's...
40:58It's dangerous outside.
41:00But I'm trained.
41:01I want y'all to know, okay?
41:02If anything goes down tonight, I got you.
41:06Okay?
41:07I did active shooter training recently.
41:09Did any of y'all do active shooter training?
41:11I don't know if...
41:12I want to know if I...
41:12Okay, okay.
41:13What y'all doing?
41:14At your job?
41:15What job you got?
41:16A project manager.
41:17A project manager?
41:18People bringing guns in for the projects?
41:20What's going on?
41:22Who else?
41:23Someone else raised their hand over here, too.
41:24Yeah, where'd you train at?
41:26Universal.
41:27Universal Studios?
41:28Bitch, this is Netflix.
41:33We don't fuck with Universal here.
41:38That way they won't shoot me.
41:39Okay, um...
41:42No.
41:43Okay, where'd you get trained, man?
41:44I'm a nurse.
41:45You're a nurse.
41:45Okay, give it up for her.
41:46Give it up for her nurse.
41:49Thank you, okay?
41:50She can shoot you and save you.
41:52She's important.
41:54Do people bring guns into the hospital?
41:55Absolutely.
41:56Absolutely not.
41:57I'ma do it.
42:01My doctor, that bitch won't give me Ozempic.
42:03I'ma come in...
42:04I'ma come blasting it.
42:07Personally, I didn't like active shooter training.
42:10I didn't like it.
42:11I feel like everybody needs to be trained specifically to their life.
42:14You get me?
42:15Because I'll train y'all right now.
42:16This is all they do.
42:17They go, hey, defend yourself.
42:18Number one.
42:19First thing you need to do is defend yourself.
42:21Throw the items in front of you, okay?
42:23Are you...
42:23Do you have anything?
42:25Oh, fuck.
42:25You ain't got shit?
42:26Okay, you got a little water bottle.
42:27We are fucked.
42:29Oh, my God.
42:30None of y'all got nothing...
42:32Goddamn!
42:32Y'all ain't got a chapstick?
42:34Okay, all right.
42:35Number two, the thing they say, is run.
42:39That's a hard one for me.
42:41Um...
42:43I do stay focused on the defense because the running ain't really my shit.
42:46You know what I'm saying?
42:47Like, I can't...
42:47I'm not the Matrix.
42:49I can't dodge no bullets.
42:50I can't...
42:51This is the third thing they say.
42:52They say, see something, say something.
42:54That's the full training.
42:55This is why I don't like active shooter training.
42:58Because I feel like you...
42:59There's like no way you're training me, a black woman,
43:03in seeing something and saying something.
43:07No, I need y'all to really...
43:08I invented see something, say something.
43:12Black woman, that's all we do.
43:13Have you met...
43:13No, seriously.
43:14Have you met a black woman seeing something,
43:16and not saying something?
43:18She could have got there a lot faster than her.
43:21All right, thank you so much.
43:22That's my time. Love you.
43:31I like how active she is.
43:33I like how vibrant she is.
43:36But what was topical?
43:38Like, see something...
43:39Active shooter.
43:39Okay, but we stayed in that bit the entire time.
43:42Yeah.
43:42Okay, we stayed...
43:43That bit became the entire set.
43:45Right?
43:45Right.
43:46And the payoff wasn't big enough for the duration.
43:49Right now for me, in my opinion,
43:52I think Felicia and Livia.
43:54Steve, go at the bottom for me.
43:55Okay.
43:55And who's the last one?
43:57You still got Caitlyn!
43:58So for Caitlyn, I think this is a make-or-break moment.
44:02I'm curious to see her approach to this,
44:04and I like that we're ending it with her.
44:05Yeah.
44:06Like, right now, you're closing it out.
44:07Whenever I do a five-minute set,
44:09I go in and I prep, prep, prep, prep, prep.
44:11Like, that's who I am.
44:12And we didn't get to do that this time.
44:14They want you to be off the cuff.
44:15They want you to be present.
44:16I've never been that person.
44:17Absolutely not.
44:17I wish I had an ounce of whatever that's open my comic has.
44:23Yeah, I'm freaking out.
44:26Okay.
44:26In crowd work, there's a lot of things that can go wrong.
44:29Here we go.
44:29It goes off the rails.
44:30It gets weird.
44:31What if I say something, and then they're like,
44:33well, your mom's a whore, and then I have to fight this person.
44:36It could happen.
44:38Usually, when I have a set that's really important to me,
44:41I prepare for weeks, if not months.
44:44And with this one, I didn't get to run it at all.
44:47I literally have to surrender, and I hate it.
44:50This next comic was inspired to try to stand up
44:53after seeing Chelsea Handler perform.
44:58That's a true story.
44:59Ladies and gentlemen, from Brooklyn, New York,
45:01here is Caitlyn Palufo!
45:08Hey!
45:10Hey!
45:12Hello!
45:13Hello!
45:15Oh, my goodness!
45:17Oh, my goodness.
45:18Hi, everybody.
45:19We feeling good?
45:19We feeling strong?
45:21Hell, yeah!
45:22Oh, my God.
45:23I'm excited.
45:24It's April.
45:25I'm ready for a slutty summer, okay?
45:28Yes!
45:29I love that the women are screaming.
45:31I got to be honest, though.
45:32I'm having a hard time.
45:33I don't get hit on a lot.
45:35I think it's because I talk, okay?
45:38Also, the days of men hitting on women in real life
45:40are kind of over, you know?
45:42It's all about DMs, dating apps.
45:44One time, one time, a man came up to me in real life,
45:47told me I had nice teeth.
45:50I didn't know what to do.
45:51I was like, oh, my God.
45:52Pick a hole.
45:54Okay.
45:55Oh.
45:57Nice teeth?
45:58We can agree that's a terrifying pickup line, right?
46:01Nice teeth.
46:04You'd make a great rain stick.
46:06Yeah.
46:08Yeah.
46:09I did fuck that guy, okay?
46:11I fucked that guy.
46:14Yeah, no, I just...
46:15I knew he'd have a big dick, okay?
46:17I just knew it.
46:18Because he approached me.
46:20Okay?
46:21Yes.
46:22This is big dick energy, okay?
46:25Absolutely.
46:27Yeah, I'm 5'8", loud as hell,
46:29and can deadlift a Vespa, all right?
46:33Everything about me says I demand girth, okay?
46:38That's my version of catch and print, okay?
46:40Yeah.
46:41Oh, if you...
46:42We got some people on the slutty side of TikTok.
46:44I like that.
46:45Do you guys know what catching print is?
46:48Do you...
46:48Yes!
46:49Hell yeah!
46:50My hooker showed up tonight.
46:53I like that.
46:53If you don't know what it is, okay?
46:55A gay man went on TikTok,
46:57and he told the straight ladies
46:58how to find out if a man is packing, okay?
47:02How to find out if he's got a big dick
47:04based on where his bulge is, all right?
47:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:06It's pretty straightforward, okay?
47:08It's A, B, and then damn, okay?
47:12Yes, yes.
47:13And it's will call you, won't call you,
47:15doesn't own a phone, all right?
47:17Oh, my God.
47:19I love telling men about catching print.
47:21Have you heard of catching print, sir?
47:22No, no, no, you didn't know, you didn't know.
47:24I love it.
47:25Do you consider yourself a grower or a shower?
47:29Answer the fucking question.
47:33Come on, buddy.
47:34Don't make you stand up.
47:36Come on.
47:37I don't give a shit who your mother is.
47:40You tell me right now.
47:50Oh, God.
47:52I hope that guy who made that video
47:54now makes a video about how to find out
47:56if a guy is circumcised or not.
47:58Yeah, because I'm only going off accents.
48:01You know what I'm talking about?
48:03Yeah, Mona Mee's got a little foreskin.
48:06You know what I'm talking about?
48:11Don't make me ask your mom.
48:20I love a foreskin.
48:21We got any foreskin in here?
48:22Come on.
48:23Come on.
48:23Yeah.
48:24Oh, we got a little dangler over here.
48:27Okay.
48:28You got your foreskin.
48:30Okay.
48:30All intact.
48:31Yeah, you got the confidence of a man
48:33with his whole dick.
48:34I like that.
48:35That's good.
48:36Are you with a partner right now?
48:37Who are you fucking?
48:38I'm with my straggot.
48:40You're with your what?
48:41Straggot.
48:41What's a straggot?
48:43It's a straight...
48:44Straight faggot.
48:45Okay.
48:51Okay.
48:52Thank you for just canceling my career.
48:55I appreciate that.
48:57Kevin, he said...
48:58I repeated what he said.
48:59I didn't want to say it, but he said it.
49:01Thanks.
49:02I'm a good girl.
49:03I love the gays.
49:04I love the gays.
49:04Ah!
49:05Love the gays.
49:08Yes.
49:09Gays always have a big age gap when they date, right?
49:13What's the oldest man you've ever dated?
49:15Nine.
49:16Nine years apart?
49:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:19I dated a guy who was younger than me,
49:20but he was too immature, okay?
49:22Yeah, he was a picky eater.
49:25He had never had soup.
49:28I was like, honey, you eat ass.
49:34I've had soup.
49:37We've had soup.
49:38We've had soup.
49:40Your mom's laughing at that joke.
49:42Your mom's laughing at that joke.
49:44All right, you guys have been great.
49:45I'm Caleb Palufo.
49:46Bye-bye.
49:50Way to make it tough, Caitlin!
49:55.
50:16Okay!
50:17Ah.
50:18I feel good.
50:19I feel good, okay? I feel good.
50:21That might have been the best set of the night.
50:23Next to her and Osama were the best.
50:26I said it.
50:26That girl did more improv than anyone.
50:29Anybody.
50:30Anybody.
50:30Osama's the only one who got the same elevation.
50:33Caitlyn matched it. The crowd atmosphere.
50:35Yes. Yeah, she fucking rocked it.
50:38That was one of the best sets I've seen in a long time.
50:41That was awesome.
50:42With the assignment.
50:44Absolutely.
50:44So are we bringing them out?
50:47Let's go.
50:47I definitely was who I am.
50:50And that was literally what I do.
50:52So if I go out on that, that's okay.
50:54Thank you so much for being so dope.
50:58Good night, guys. Thank you.
51:00And if you guys miss Kevin when you leave here,
51:03just turn on your TV and hope you see a credit card commercial.
51:06Shut up. Just smack him up.
51:07It's ridiculous.
51:08You really are fucking ridiculous.
51:15Way to go, you guys.
51:16Great job tonight.
51:18It did not go the way I would have liked it to,
51:21but what I did do, people laughed at.
51:25Right now, I don't care if I was the best,
51:27which I probably wasn't,
51:28but as long as I wasn't the worst.
51:29I just don't want to go home.
51:30I just want to stay here, but we'll see how the cards fall.
51:33All right.
51:33Only six can go.
51:35Okay?
51:35Eight minus six is.
51:37Don't do that.
51:39My first comic that I'm going to say is moving on to the semifinals.
51:44I'm going to go with Ron.
51:48You were so comfortable on stage tonight.
51:50You managed to get into, like, what you like,
51:54and somehow tie it into crowd work.
51:56So good.
51:57You made the audience a fucking part of the set,
51:59and it didn't look like it was programmed.
52:03Wow.
52:03So, kudos to you for stepping up to the challenge.
52:06Yeah, way to go.
52:06All right.
52:07Huh?
52:08Huh?
52:08Our second comic.
52:11Caitlin.
52:12Oh, my God.
52:14Your set was fully embraced off of improvisation
52:18and crowd participation.
52:19Great job, Caitlin.
52:21Way to continue to go.
52:23That's badass.
52:24That's badass what you did up there.
52:25You were fucking funny and firing on all cylinders.
52:29That means a lot.
52:31Number three.
52:32I'm going to go Winston.
52:37Aw, Winston.
52:39The vibe is off by smoking pot with Republicans.
52:42That's your line, right?
52:43Yes, ma'am.
52:43You kept it topical and political and relatable.
52:47Like, for people who are not following politics,
52:48you kept it topical enough for them to pay attention.
52:51Thank you so much.
52:52Yes.
52:52Keep going, Winston.
52:53Thank you both.
52:54Number four.
52:55Usama, man.
52:58The way that you went to what's a touchy subject in comedy for some,
53:05you seamlessly weaved in and out of it because you made it likable.
53:10And then that's one of the most artful things about stand-up,
53:12is introducing difficult subject matters and making people laugh about that.
53:16My number five.
53:19I'm going to go with Reg, man.
53:21Yeah.
53:21Great set, Reg.
53:22I thought it was great that you got eliminated, that you came back.
53:25I saw you backstage before I came out and you're like, I've got nothing to lose.
53:28And that's exactly what your set looked like.
53:30Thank you very much.
53:31And the fact that you flipped it and did the crowd work at the end instead of the beginning,
53:34which is kind of the opposite of what everyone did, it was ballsy.
53:38And that spirit of you having nothing to lose, like I felt that.
53:41And so congrats on fucking showing up.
53:43Good job, Reg.
53:44And send a thank you letter to that girl who bailed.
53:46I mean, yeah, way to go.
53:48Good job.
53:50All right, guys.
53:50I got one more.
53:56Olivia, you are my sixth choice.
53:59Wow.
54:02You have not changed at all.
54:04What you are is what you are going to be, and there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
54:11Your jokes are hidden, your punchlines are delayed, and they have never not paid off.
54:17Congrats on continuing.
54:19Felicia and Steve, we're not dealing with bad comments at this point.
54:23All right?
54:23We're talking about an assignment.
54:25Felicia, I'll start with you.
54:26I think in the attack of the assignment, you gave me one topic.
54:31You stayed there.
54:32And within crowd work, it was questions and not really receiving the answers to do anything
54:38with them.
54:39Yeah.
54:39You have incredible stage presence, and you're fucking funny as shit.
54:43This just was not the right fit, you know, for the assignment.
54:46But you're a fucking star.
54:47I couldn't agree more.
54:49Yeah.
54:51I worked really hard to be here, you know.
54:53I worked up to this moment.
54:55You know, like, two years ago, I couldn't even walk.
54:57So I got to walk out on that stage today, and I'm very proud of myself.
55:02Uh, nothing but love for you, though.
55:04Absolutely.
55:04And I expect to see you later on.
55:06Absolutely.
55:06Okay?
55:07Steve, I think that you rushed a little bit.
55:10I don't think you gave anything a second to, like, truly build or truly land.
55:15I think that caused a ripple effect, because when you got to your material, it started to
55:19go.
55:20Yeah.
55:20But I will tell you, you are a fucking polished comic.
55:24Am I mad?
55:25No, I'm happy I was even able to experience this, you know?
55:28Am I going to drive home in silence?
55:29For sure.
55:30Am I going to drink alone?
55:32Definitely.
55:32That doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing comedy or going any less hard than I have been.
55:36I just want to say all of you guys have been really great, and it's been great to know
55:39all you guys.
55:40Kevin, I want to thank you for even doing this.
55:42This was a huge opportunity, and I don't think her and I will ever forget it.
55:45Ever forget it.
55:45And thank you for this.
55:46Thank you, all you guys.
55:52Thank you guys very much.
55:53Much appreciated, Steve.
55:55Felicia, thank you as well.
55:59Congrats again for moving on.
56:00Of course, it only gets harder from here, okay?
56:02I am no longer a part of the judging.
56:04It is up to the world to now figure out who will be our winner, man.
56:09Like, go prepare.
56:10You got a week until our next show.
56:12Guys, this will be a push on social.
56:14If you guys can push yourselves, push your clips, amplify yourselves and your talents
56:19to the world so they make no mistakes about who you are, okay?
56:23Next week, I'll let you guys know I'll be joined by a very special guest.
56:27A good friend.
56:28You definitely know him.
56:30It's Chris Rock.
56:31Holy shit.
56:32What the fuck?
56:35You guys have been with me for weeks.
56:37And I said, Chris Rock, whoa.
56:38Time of our life.
56:39It just got real.
56:43Well, this is it.
56:46Six comics remain and one Netflix special is within reach.
56:50But for the first time, the final decision is in mind.
56:54We're handing control over to you.
56:56You, the viewers, vote live to choose the winner.
57:00I didn't even know if I was going to get on the show.
57:02So, like, being here and making it all the way to the semis is crazy.
57:05I'm feeling really excited, very grateful.
57:08And then I'm also nervous as hell.
57:10I'm a man of the people.
57:11I've been waiting for the world to see what the vibes are about Reginald Thomas.
57:15What is America like?
57:16We don't know.
57:16What I'm going to do to prepare is probably Adderall.
57:21There's no weak links.
57:23We're here because we want to do this.
57:24We want to win.
57:25So it's like, let's go.
57:26Man, this shit is scary.
57:28You know, if I have a heart attack, somebody got to pay for that, man.
57:31I'm scared, but I'm ready.
57:34Funny AF goes live on May 4th and 5th.
57:37Oh, and one more thing.
57:39I'm bringing a friend.
57:40One of the greatest to ever do it.
57:43Chris Rock.
57:45Set it ready for the show.
57:47I don't know.
57:48I don't know.
57:49Hit another stage.
57:50Gotta go.
57:51Gotta go.
57:52Turn another page.
57:54Other chapter longer go.
57:56Handling this business like a pro.
57:58Like a pro.
57:59Stay authentic.
57:59We gon' get it.
58:00We drop in it.
58:01Represent it.
58:02We jumped in it.
58:03Gotta keep it hot with the true sauce in it.
58:04Never gon' stop.
58:05That's proof we quit it.
58:06Never gon' stop.
58:07We will never quit it.
58:08Never gon' stop.
58:09This just the beginning.
58:10Never gon' stop.
58:10You thought that it ended.
58:11Backwards.
58:12Backwards.
58:13Backwards.
