00:08There's still one more spot.
00:10This was tough.
00:11This was really tough.
00:13But the fifth person going to call back is...
00:20Reg, you were really brilliant.
00:22Let's go, Reg.
00:23Whoo!
00:24Whoo!
00:26Just the architecture of how you put the set together,
00:29it was just really masterful.
00:31I think for the task at hand, you guys should all feel good,
00:33because whoever comes out of this with the Netflix special,
00:36whoever comes out of this as a winner,
00:38you guys know, like, the pool is a real pool.
00:41You guys are all professionals,
00:42and I know everybody's fucking name,
00:44I know your material, and I'm not going to forget that.
00:47Shouts out to the five.
00:48I'll see you guys later.
00:49Thank you, guys.
00:50All right.
00:52Thank you, y'all.
00:55Nuju, come on, stop!
00:59We never left, never left.
01:00Y'all were shy, baby!
01:01We going to L.A., baby!
01:03We're in the air process.
01:05Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:07You're not ready for us.
01:08You know how far we coming from?
01:10Oh, my God.
01:12You really, like, killed.
01:14You came on.
01:15I love that flupa joke.
01:16I can't believe it, though.
01:17I think I'm more stunned than anything else.
01:19I'm stunned that I'm moving on never in a million years,
01:21that I think I, A, get this opportunity,
01:23and be to done well enough that they saw something in me
01:27that they want to see more.
01:28Winston!
01:29I know you shocked.
01:30Oh, my God.
01:31Oh, my God.
01:32Oh, my God.
01:32But you deserve the shit.
01:34I appreciate it.
01:34OK, Ma, so you know I'm in this competition
01:36with Kevin Hart, right?
01:37All right.
01:38So Kevin Hart chose me to go to the second round in L.A.
01:42Oh, my God.
01:45Remember all them parent teacher conferences
01:46that you went to, and they said I was talking too much
01:48and making too much jokes?
01:49Look at that.
01:50Look at God.
01:51They're looking at me, Mama, I'm dating.
01:54I'm dating.
01:58I have a crazy memory.
02:00You tripped me out.
02:01He remembers everything.
02:03For example, if I go and I'm going to work on material,
02:06I cannot sit down and write a new thing.
02:07So what do you do?
02:08It's all in my head.
02:09It's literally what you're saying.
02:10That's what you were saying.
02:11I write everything in Google Docs.
02:12All the punchlines are bolded so I can look at a screen
02:15and go, there isn't enough bolding here.
02:17I need more punchlines.
02:18It's very intellectual.
02:19That's impressive.
02:20Do you write all your books out?
02:21Yeah, yeah.
02:21But I can commit it to memory pretty quickly,
02:23considering as much alcohol as I consume.
02:26It's pretty impressive.
02:27Did you do it?
02:28Yeah!
02:29Yeah!
02:30Yeah!
02:31Yeah!
02:31Yeah!
02:33Yeah!
02:33Yeah!
02:34Showcase in New York was incredible,
02:36and with five comedians headed through the callbacks,
02:39well, I'm hoping to find even more talent
02:40in the show business capital of the world, Los Angeles.
02:44This is where you come to turn comedy into a career.
02:47Comedians here have one thing on their mind,
02:49and that's becoming the next great Hollywood success story.
02:53Nobody knows how to do that better than my guy, Tom Segura.
02:57Tom is one of the funniest and most successful comedians today.
02:59We both love discovering new talent, and that's exactly what we're about to do here
03:04at the legendary Hollywood Improv.
03:08Here we are.
03:10Oh!
03:12Oh!
03:13That was brutal!
03:15That's how you know someone's rich as fuck.
03:17They don't give a shit what they did to the bottom of that thing.
03:21Oh!
03:22You gonna see a little man struggle to get out of the little car?
03:24I see that.
03:25It's a good-sized vehicle for you.
03:27How you doing, man?
03:28I'm good. How you been?
03:28Dude, I'm great. Yeah.
03:30Great? Pumped up for this?
03:30Hell yeah!
03:31Tom spent years working out his material on the LAC,
03:35eventually releasing five killer comedy specials.
03:37He spun his success into his own production company
03:40and podcasting empire.
03:43This is memories, because this was home for me.
03:45This was like my first club.
03:46I love that, of course, we're in a place of memory for both of us.
03:49I mean, look, the Improv helped shape and mold us.
03:51Yes.
03:51And now the fact that we got comics that are basically in the same position
03:55that we once were, man.
03:56Yes.
03:56Being able to go back, look, and hopefully put them in a position to do more.
04:00Oh!
04:02Look how strong you are.
04:03Oh, my God!
04:05You're gonna see L.A.'s got it, man.
04:07We are amongst friends.
04:09L.A.'s funniest comedians right here.
04:11I know.
04:11I know.
04:11As soon as I saw everybody walking in, I was like,
04:12oh, I like you.
04:13I like you.
04:14I do feel like everyone hypes up New York all the time,
04:17and they're like,
04:18and they're like,
04:19New York is the best place for comedy.
04:21New York is the greatest comedy.
04:22I'm like, L.A.
04:23L.A. got some love, too.
04:25You know what I mean?
04:25Like, all the L.A. comics are really, really good.
04:29You know who it is, right?
04:30Yeah.
04:31Tom Segura and Kevin Hart.
04:32It'd be pretty cool to bomb in front of Kevin Hart.
04:34Not everybody gets to do that.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Woo!
04:44That was amazing.
04:45I like that.
04:47I like that.
04:47I did that for you, man.
04:48I like that, Tom.
04:49What's going on, everybody?
04:51How you doing?
04:51First and foremost, good?
04:53Good.
04:54We are here at the Hollywood Improv.
04:56Also, I want you guys to understand the why.
04:58Why this is happening.
04:59Why I'm doing this.
05:00Why Tom is a part of this.
05:01I think it's very important for our generation
05:04to take a baton and hand it to the next.
05:07Like, honestly, I'm getting older.
05:09It's over for me.
05:10I think we're the same age, and I look 25 years older.
05:14That's cool.
05:14The winner of the competition
05:16is receiving a Netflix comedy special.
05:19Oh!
05:23All right, well, look.
05:24It's a competition.
05:25So, unfortunately, we can't pick everybody.
05:27You got 14 comics.
05:28A handful will move on
05:29from this showcase to callbacks.
05:31I've talked a tremendous amount of shit
05:34on your behalf, by the way.
05:35I tolerate no L.A. slander.
05:37So, like, be funny.
05:40And ultimately do good.
05:41I'm excited for you guys.
05:42I'll see you guys soon.
05:43See you guys later.
05:44All right.
05:45I want to see what happens.
05:46I'm really excited to see these comics tonight.
05:48This is a passion for me.
05:49I don't know the choice of material.
05:50I'm not coming in with any edge.
05:52And what I walk away with
05:53after I watch the showcase
05:55is what I walk away with.
05:56I like the fact that it is real,
05:59transparent, and authentic,
06:00because you're getting a real reaction from me
06:02in real time.
06:03We're here because we know
06:04what we're looking for.
06:05Yes.
06:05Good comedy.
06:06Good stage presence.
06:08The five-minute set.
06:09The tight set.
06:10All those things come into fucking play.
06:12Right.
06:14Go up.
06:16Good.
06:16That looks so good.
06:18Welcome to the world-famous improv.
06:20This is the first major stage I ever stepped on.
06:23So, it's a very special place to me.
06:25I love it.
06:26Yes.
06:27Tonight is a really, really special thing.
06:29You're gonna see a showcase for Kevin Hart.
06:33He's a little man, but he has big, big pockets
06:35and big opportunities.
06:37I hope you enjoy the show.
06:39You guys are fantastic.
06:42People like you before you even talk.
06:44People like you.
06:45I appreciate it, guys.
06:46It'll be really fun.
06:47I'm really glad you guys are the other comics
06:50and not people I don't respect.
06:51So, I really...
06:52It feels like it means more from you guys.
06:55Oh, yeah.
06:57Come on, Dan.
06:58Cool.
06:58Thanks, guys.
06:59My name is Dan Donahue.
07:00I've been doing stand-up comedy for nine years.
07:04Social media has helped my career a ton.
07:06And social media is a way where you can get people
07:08to see you if you don't have credit.
07:10Give it up for Dan Donahue!
07:11We are not West Coast.
07:12All the people in the competition are people I've done shows with.
07:16Everybody's gonna be hard to beat.
07:17I might not make it through the first round.
07:19You might not be using any of this footage yet.
07:22You better know the rules when you come for your toast.
07:26How's it going, everybody?
07:27I'm Dan Donahue.
07:28How are you tonight?
07:31I'm doing pretty good.
07:32I get to travel now.
07:33I went to Missouri.
07:34I got off the plane.
07:35I got in an Uber.
07:36The Uber driver turned around.
07:37He said, I'm not driving for Uber.
07:39I'm a concealed carry firearms instructor.
07:43This is gonna be the safest Uber ride of your life.
07:47Why didn't it feel that way?
07:49Why did...
07:51Why did I feel like a seatbelt was enough for me?
07:55Both my parents were very anti-gun,
07:57and they taught me to be that way.
07:59And I spent a 45-minute Uber ride
08:03agreeing with that man
08:06on every point he made about firearms.
08:10He was in the front seat like,
08:12I think we should give teachers guns.
08:13I was in the back seat like,
08:15I think we should give students guns.
08:16Why...
08:18I really have only one moral code.
08:21And that is,
08:22if I'm in the back of your car,
08:24I believe what you believe.
08:28That's a funny thing.
08:30I'm from a really small town in Massachusetts.
08:31I love living in the big city.
08:34But Los Angeles has a lot to get used to.
08:36Like, uh...
08:37I'm not used to the way people talk about aging in this city.
08:40Because I come from a place where we let women do that.
08:44Yeah.
08:46We got free-range women walking around my hometown.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Yeah.
08:52We got organic non-GMO ladies
08:54just making their way across town.
08:57That's right.
09:00I am from a place called Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
09:06And it's messed up,
09:07because people spend thousands of dollars every year
09:10on creams and surgeries
09:11to try and look younger.
09:13And that's fine.
09:14Do whatever you want with your body.
09:16But if you're doing that
09:17because you think you're aging poorly,
09:19spend a hundred dollars
09:21on a bus ticket
09:24to Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
09:27Get off that bus,
09:29look around,
09:30and realize you are beautiful just the way you are.
09:34That's right.
09:37All right, that's it for me.
09:38Thank you so much, everybody.
09:41Good jokes, great energy.
09:43A real quirky, funny look, too.
09:46Right?
09:46There's something to his look.
09:48Yeah, yeah.
09:4870s stash.
09:49Yeah, yeah.
09:51Thanks, guys.
09:53Yes.
09:55I want to go to Buzzards Bay.
09:57I kind of want to see it, dude.
09:58I want to see how ugly people are there.
10:00I bet they're horrendous.
10:03My name is Andrea Jin.
10:04I first got into stand-up comedy eight years ago.
10:09Humor definitely played a role in my family
10:11because in my family, we don't hug.
10:13We don't say, I love you.
10:16Give it up for Andrea Jin!
10:17We would watch sketches together,
10:20and it was a lot of fun.
10:21We were all laughing together.
10:22It was, like, such a core memory.
10:24So it bonded us so deeply.
10:27Hello, hi.
10:28Hi, my name is Andrea Jin.
10:30I'm not from here.
10:31I immigrated from China.
10:34Is that okay?
10:37It doesn't matter how you feel.
10:38I'm not leaving, so...
10:41I got in, right?
10:43Yeah, it was easy.
10:47Uh...
10:47When I first moved here,
10:49I lived with my grandparents
10:50for a really long time,
10:51and they do this thing
10:53where they always have to have
10:5430 to 40 bags of rice at home.
10:57I don't know where that behavior comes from.
11:01Having grandparents is kind of the same
11:03as when you get a rescue dog, you know?
11:07Like, you don't know what happened to them
11:09before they got...
11:11they got to you, you know?
11:13You're like, why are you growling at the TV, you know?
11:17And it's not the little bags
11:19that you guys like to get
11:20when you're like,
11:21oh, let's change things up for dinner tonight.
11:23Oh.
11:24No, it's like really big, giant, bulk bags
11:27from Costco.
11:28It's not fun.
11:29Do you guys know that saying,
11:30um, don't go to the grocery store
11:33on an empty stomach?
11:34Yeah, because you end up buying too much, right?
11:36We have a similar saying
11:37where I'm from.
11:38It goes like this.
11:39It's, um,
11:40don't go to the bulk food store
11:42if you've ever had a communist dictator.
11:45Right?
11:49Because you buy too much.
11:50Oopsie.
11:51And it's a real problem.
11:54It's a real problem.
11:54At the end of the Costco trip,
11:56we can't fit everything we bought into the car.
11:59And so we're like, okay, what do we do?
12:03What if we leave grandma here?
12:09She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, leave me here, yeah.
12:12It's good.
12:12She gets it.
12:13She understands.
12:13She's a team player.
12:14She understands that if we leave rice there,
12:17someone's gonna take it.
12:19You know?
12:20But if we leave my grandma there,
12:22no one's gonna take her.
12:24Yeah.
12:25Cause she's a burden, you know?
12:29I was in a long-term relationship with white guy.
12:33And it was, it was fine.
12:35And we just fought a lot.
12:36We fought a lot about my tone.
12:38He thought I was too loud and demanding and aggressive.
12:42And I was like, that's just how I talk.
12:43I'm an immigrant.
12:44And then he's like, no,
12:45cause I've seen you talk to your friends.
12:47With your friends,
12:47you're very nice and polite and quiet.
12:50Why is that?
12:50And I was like, okay, well with,
12:52first of all,
12:53those are private conversations with my friends.
12:56I told you,
12:56when my friends come over,
12:58you face the wall.
12:59Okay?
13:01And then also,
13:02if you must know,
13:04with my friends,
13:04I've never seen any of my friends'
13:07soft penises before.
13:08You know?
13:09I don't know what my friends'
13:10soft penises look like,
13:12so I have a lot of respect for them.
13:15Okay?
13:16Why are you showing that to people when it's soft?
13:18Be ready or don't show anyone.
13:22Cause it looks...
13:25It looks like if it was a person,
13:28it wouldn't know how to read.
13:29Okay?
13:34So I'm single now.
13:37Um...
13:37Alright, that's my time.
13:43I think she did a very good job of setting up
13:45the world of who she was.
13:47Yeah, her delivery too...
13:48Very good.
13:49was like so conversational.
13:50I'm a sucker for her.
13:52I love the stammering over the words.
13:54I love...
13:54Yeah.
13:55Like, we're just talking.
13:56It's funny.
13:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:57She's funny.
13:57She's funny.
13:5930-second warning for Kalia.
14:01Thank you, bro.
14:02Thank you for rubbing that on me.
14:03He rubbed some of his...
14:04He got it.
14:04...good juju.
14:05Yeah.
14:06His African shit.
14:07Let me get a little piece of that.
14:08Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
14:09Now it's been colonized.
14:10Yeah.
14:11There aren't any comics on the lineup
14:13that I don't fuck with.
14:14They're all good.
14:15I hate to see them lose,
14:17but it's gonna be a good time.
14:19I've been doing comedy for 13 years,
14:21and I really worked on my craft a lot.
14:24When people see this,
14:25they're gonna be like,
14:25Kalia came out of nowhere.
14:27And there are a hell of a lot of people
14:28who know this is 13 years in the making.
14:30Give it up for Kalia McNeil!
14:34This is the beginning of the next level for me.
14:37This is my moment to win
14:39because I don't have anything else.
14:41There's no backup plan.
14:43What's going on, Hollywood?
14:45We good?
14:47All right.
14:47My name is Kalia McNeil.
14:48Let's get to the shit.
14:50I've been doing a lot of traveling this year
14:52for comedy, a lot of traveling.
14:53And I feel like the more you travel,
14:55especially for work,
14:56you start to develop isms.
14:58Like, when I was a little kid,
14:59what was the best seat on the plane?
15:01The window seat.
15:02You wanna see every fucking thing.
15:04I'm 38.
15:04I don't need to see shit.
15:07Once my knees hit 35,
15:09what was the best seat?
15:10The aisle.
15:11I need to do this a couple times.
15:15And I got rules to my shit, baby.
15:16If I'm on the aisle,
15:17this is my role.
15:20You gotta pee?
15:20You better pee when I pee.
15:23You better get up when I get up.
15:25I lived through 9-11.
15:26Sit down!
15:29I went to Boston for the first time this year.
15:31Anybody been to Boston?
15:32Yeah.
15:32Interesting place.
15:34I was doing shows in Boston
15:35during St. Patrick's Day weekend, y'all.
15:38They did not tell me.
15:40St. Patrick's Day weekend in Boston
15:42is like white teeth.
15:47I ain't never seen no shit like that.
15:50We got the holidays coming up.
15:51Y'all got some favorite holiday movies?
15:53My favorite holiday movie of all time,
15:55Home Alone.
15:56Part one.
15:57I was a 90s kid.
15:58Loved Home Alone growing up.
15:59If you loved Home Alone as a kid,
16:01do not watch it as an adult.
16:04Completely different movie now.
16:05I'm watching Home Alone the other day.
16:06I'm smoking some weed a little bit.
16:08We get about 10 minutes into the movie.
16:10Kevin come running downstairs
16:11talking shit to his mother's face.
16:15I'm like, Kevin need his ass whooped.
16:19This little boy is rude.
16:22Disrespectful.
16:22Remember, they were going to Paris for vacation
16:25and this motherfucker was picking off
16:27the whole table talking shit.
16:28I'm like, that could not have been my son.
16:30If that were Kevon,
16:33that movie would have been called Left Alone
16:35because who the fuck are you talking to like that
16:38before we fly to Paris, Texas for vacation?
16:42Paris, Texas.
16:43Thank you guys so much.
16:47Amazing stage presence.
16:48You cannot deny confidence.
16:50Of course, jokes around airport travel.
16:52We're no strangers too.
16:53We've heard a lot of them.
16:54Of course, yes.
16:54If all you do is tour,
16:55what ends up happening is you just talk about touring.
16:58Yes.
16:58Right, you put hotels and planes and stuff.
17:00I just want to hear more about like your actual life.
17:02Yeah.
17:02I think I knocked it out of the park.
17:04Walked off the stage with thunderous laughs and applause.
17:07I think that's good.
17:08I'm like, I really wanted to close with that Home Alone.
17:10The exit on the Home Alone was fantastic.
17:15What do you think makes a good comedian?
17:18You have to be funny.
17:20You do.
17:20Period.
17:21And point of view is the most important aspect.
17:23Based on my background, I'm looking for persona.
17:26When they come onto the stage and I go,
17:28well, this persona...
17:29Okay.
17:29I'm already intrigued.
17:31Mm-hmm.
17:31I think that you have a job as a comedian
17:33and what I would look for
17:35and what I think makes the best comedians
17:37is when they step on stage,
17:38the audience knows who the fuck they are
17:41and they know what they're going through.
17:44How do you make the audience know your name?
17:47I grew up in this really fucked up neighborhood
17:49right outside of Compton called Beverly Hills.
17:52That's a joke I do on stage when I try to make
17:54being from Beverly Hills likable.
17:56It's not.
17:57I do identify as a weed mom.
18:02My pronouns are she high.
18:06We're all so societally accepting of wine moms,
18:09but not so much of weed moms.
18:11Right?
18:12They're all out here with their cute slogans like,
18:14oh, Rosé all day.
18:18But it's like, weed moms have fun sayings too.
18:20Like, what?
18:21No, I'm not high.
18:24I do get a little nervous though because I'm like,
18:26ooh, it's a hard habit to hide, you know?
18:28One day my son's going to be old enough.
18:29He's going to go to high school.
18:30He's going to smell pot for the first time.
18:32I'm afraid it's going to be like a scene
18:34in one of those detective movies
18:35where all the pieces come together at once.
18:38Right?
18:38He's just going to be like,
18:41wait, mom, are you cool as shit?
18:45She's likable.
18:46She was really engaging with the audience.
18:48It was like the first kind of parent set,
18:50which is its own lane, I think, of doing this.
18:53And those are the things that get the laugh, right?
18:55It's a solid showcase set.
18:56It's a solid one.
18:57If you're wondering what's going on with his face,
18:59I am an Indian man.
19:00It's a good time for us, by the way.
19:03We're people of color, but we're also richer
19:06than the white people now, huh?
19:09How about that shit?
19:10You guys were so scared of Mexicans.
19:14The media had you worried, right?
19:15The media was like,
19:16you better build that border wall.
19:17And you guys forgot about the firewall, dude.
19:22I thought that a lot of the jokes
19:23had another piece coming.
19:25Yes.
19:26And it did.
19:27I don't feel like it was enough.
19:30For a five-minute set, you should come in
19:32and you should have it as tight as you possibly can.
19:35You know it's the best presentation.
19:36Keep it going!
19:38Keep it going!
19:41I feel pretty excited about being in this competition,
19:43you know?
19:44The Netflix special would be the career milestone
19:46that I truly want.
19:48I don't want to be famous.
19:49I don't care about any of that.
19:50I just want to do this.
19:51I just want to be good at it.
19:53And whatever comes from me being good at it,
19:56that's great.
20:00Got to pray to the greats, you know?
20:01I've been doing this 15 years.
20:03And it's the only thing I ever wanted to do
20:05in my whole life.
20:05People would put Led Zeppelin on their walls.
20:08I had comedy albums, you know what I mean?
20:09Bigger and Blacker, Killing Him Softly.
20:12Steven Fury!
20:14I've been lucky enough to be on some pretty cool tours
20:16with guys like Marc Marion, David Cross,
20:18and Bert Kreischer.
20:19And I think I need to win this for me to see
20:21if maybe I can be that guy.
20:23Maybe I can break through from being the opener
20:25to the guy headlining.
20:27Yes, my name is Steve Fury.
20:30Very happy to be here.
20:31I just got engaged.
20:32What up?
20:34Yes.
20:35Gonna marry my best friend.
20:37Very excited.
20:38Our favorite thing to do is get violently high
20:39and watch television.
20:41Uh...
20:42Try to do it at least seven days a week.
20:44No breaks.
20:44Get your numbers up.
20:45And she's a demon, folks.
20:46She's a demon, okay?
20:47Cause I'll take a 30 milligram to the face.
20:49She'll take a buck fifty to the dome.
20:51Yeah.
20:52Yeah.
20:53So I'm watching TV.
20:54She's kind of humming and shaking there
20:56in the corner a little bit.
20:59In the middle of her transcendental meditation,
21:01she popped it up and goes,
21:02Steve, there's something I gotta tell you
21:03that I need to tell you before I get married.
21:06I go, first off, baby, that's a mirror.
21:08I'm over here.
21:09Do you see me right now?
21:10Are you okay?
21:12She goes, Steve, there's something I gotta tell you.
21:13I gotta tell you if I get married.
21:14She goes, I manifested you.
21:15Blew my mind, right?
21:16I think manifestation's real.
21:18I really do.
21:18My only thing is if you can manifest any man
21:21in this world into your life
21:22and all you got was me,
21:25you might not be very good at that.
21:26You know what I mean?
21:27I don't know...
21:28I don't know if I'd be bragging
21:29about a participation trophy.
21:32We haven't had many problems in our relationship.
21:34We had one big problem.
21:35Had to stop drinking.
21:36Said I was developing a pattern
21:38of self-destructive behavior.
21:41I'm like, it's called a routine.
21:44Like a gymnast or an athlete.
21:48Um, no, I, uh...
21:50I threw up in the living room.
21:51Yeah.
21:53It's hard to argue throwing up in the living room.
21:55You know what I mean?
21:55Can't be like,
21:56Zach's wife lets him throw up whenever he wants.
22:01I got fucking hammered.
22:02This is the last thing I remember, okay?
22:04I come home at 4 a.m.
22:06Blacked out.
22:07I open the door.
22:08I immediately smashed five packs
22:10of Welch's Grapefruit Snacks to the face.
22:13Yeah.
22:14Yeah.
22:14My antioxidants were peaking at this point.
22:18And I went to sleep on the couch.
22:20Very important.
22:21Why?
22:21Because I woke up in bed.
22:24First red flag.
22:25You want to wake up where you went to sleep.
22:29Mainly because that means you traveled, okay?
22:31And you don't want to travel when you're sleeping.
22:35I woke up at 7 a.m.
22:38Because the woman I'm going to marry
22:39has been slamming doors for 45 minutes.
22:44And I live in a one-bedroom apartment.
22:47So if you've been in a relationship with someone
22:50for a long time,
22:51I'm talking 7, 10, 15, 20-plus years,
22:53they don't have to speak for you to understand
22:56what they're saying, right?
22:57So she's slamming these doors.
22:58I reply with a subtle, easy,
23:01little fucking early, isn't it?
23:05It's a secret language between lovers
23:07that the outside world
23:10couldn't even comprehend.
23:13Fucking 7.30?!
23:15Two souls connected to the body
23:17and mind traveling through space as one entity.
23:22Dude, she came in so quick,
23:24she was like, pow!
23:25She goes, someone threw up in the living room.
23:30I just woke up.
23:32I was like, someone broke into my house
23:35and threw up in the living room?
23:38Then she walked out.
23:39She goes, I think you threw up in the living room.
23:43And then she went to the living room.
23:44Dude, I walked out the living room so fucking confident.
23:46I was like, baby!
23:47I go, baby!
23:48Ha!
23:49Baby, baby!
23:50I don't throw up.
23:54And when I got there, there were welches on the ceiling.
23:59She goes, what happened here?
24:00And I go, okay.
24:01I go, okay.
24:02On one hand, 36 years old.
24:04Bobby shouldn't be throwing up on the ceiling.
24:06On the other hand, you did manifest this.
24:10So in a way, it's kind of your fault,
24:11to be quite honest with you.
24:13Maybe the stars could have told you to choose someone else.
24:15My name is Steve Ferry.
24:16Thank you very much to everybody involved with this.
24:19That's a great set.
24:21That's a great set.
24:22That's a great set.
24:23Flawless.
24:24He killed it.
24:24That's a flawless set.
24:26That is an amazing pop of energy, personality, truth of deprecation.
24:32Definitely know who that guy is.
24:33Oh, my God.
24:34And I mean, the punchlines were honestly, like, they were words within the story.
24:39He did them, like, so they're throwaways.
24:41Yes, yes.
24:41But they land as jokes.
24:43He had me.
24:43Yeah.
24:44He had me.
24:44He had me from the start.
24:45Oh, he's definitely going to the next round.
24:47Let's go tell him the good news.
24:48Tell him how good of a job it was, et cetera.
24:51Hell yeah.
24:51What am I looking for?
24:52A five-minute set that defines who you are, personality, stage presence, and who I feel
24:59best services the need of new.
25:02All right.
25:02Yes.
25:03This is new right here.
25:05Nice.
25:06What the hell is going on?
25:08Steve, first of all, great job, man.
25:10Incredible.
25:11It was really good.
25:12Really good.
25:12There was so much that I learned about you.
25:15I love how you tied it all in and how there was even a callback.
25:19Traveling was very fucking funny, that you traveled.
25:21I just love the world that you presented.
25:23You know, the apartment, tying it all together, bringing it back, closing was something that
25:28the audience could relate to.
25:30That's strong to me.
25:31One thing that we agreed on was, you're my for sure choice.
25:34You're going straight through to callbacks.
25:36That does not mean that more are not coming.
25:39We still got more to showcase to see.
25:41Thank you, man.
25:42Thank you, guys.
25:43Bro, what the fuck?
25:44Yeah.
25:46Give me this fucking hat, man.
25:47Come on, man.
25:48Fuck, man.
25:48Fuck, man.
25:50I've been doing this a very long time.
25:52This is the culmination of all the hard work.
25:54Leaving my family, coming to LA, being unknown, parking rich people's cars.
25:59Not to say I deserve it more than anyone else.
26:00There's a great group of comedians here.
26:02Fuck!
26:03Yeah!
26:03Goddamn.
26:04Okay, cool.
26:05I got it.
26:07There's so much extra pressure knowing that there's a comic that's going to the next round.
26:12It's nerve-wracking.
26:13It's physically nerve-wracking.
26:14I think it would be a great thing to, you know, say that I won this, but because Steve
26:19had made it through.
26:20I do feel less confident about it.
26:25I follow Steve Fury, who is a very good comedian.
26:28I mean, I'm not, like, nervous to where I'm shaking, and I might forget the words, but
26:33I care.
26:34So, yeah, I'm a little nervous.
26:35I am Devontre Coleman.
26:37I'm 30 years old, and I've been doing comedy for three and a half years.
26:41I've been doing comedy full-time, I'd say for about a year now.
26:46Give it up for Devontre Coleman!
26:48What made me transition to full-time comedy, I was laid off from my tech job, so comedy is
26:53a gamble that I'm willing to take, because I think that if I work hard enough, I can go
26:58make the same amount of money I was making in tech.
27:02I think about everything logically, so my jokes, if you really break them down, they do
27:07make a lot of sense, even though it's about dumb things.
27:10I'm Devontre Coleman.
27:14I'm real awkward.
27:16That means it's hard for me to make friends.
27:19I want to meet new people.
27:20I'm on all the apps trying to get all the matches.
27:24I recently downloaded Grindr, yeah, because I thought it was an app for niggas with work
27:29I think.
27:42I mean, it is.
27:46But it ain't.
27:51I live alone.
27:53Somebody told me to get a cat.
27:54Where my cat people at, make some noise.
28:00I fucking hate cats.
28:04Listen, couples, I have some advice for you.
28:08If you've ever thought about going through your partner's phone,
28:11I couldn't recommend it less.
28:15Yeah, I went through my girl's phone and it broke my heart
28:18because there was no niggas hitting her up.
28:23Yeah.
28:25I'm fighting for my life to keep her.
28:28And I'm the only one that wants her.
28:33I love his cadence.
28:35Yeah, his timing is probably some of the best in the competition.
28:38He really takes his time.
28:41I'm single now. I'm on dating apps.
28:44My favorite dating app is Tinder.
28:46Yeah, I like Tinder because they fucking on there.
28:50Tinder is dangerous, though.
28:52The worst part about Tinder is that it gives you more opportunities to be robbed.
28:56Yeah, I lost six hoodies last year.
29:00That's all right, though.
29:02I've been getting my revenge.
29:04I started stealing back.
29:06Yeah, I take ownership of whatever's left in my apartment.
29:09Don't text me talking about,
29:10Hey, I think I left something on your dresser.
29:13These are my eyelashes now.
29:18You can probably tell by my outfit.
29:20I'm a young uncle.
29:28I like having nephews, but it is dangerous.
29:30I don't know if y'all been around children lately, but they have superpowers now.
29:34Like one of my nephews, his superpower is that he can make anything weird.
29:38Yeah, he doesn't tell you what you're doing is weird.
29:40He just asks you questions that make you think,
29:41Whoa, is that weird?
29:45Like one time I took my nephew with me to go get a haircut.
29:48And as we were leaving the barbershop, he looks up at me.
29:50He goes, Hey, why you let them spin you around like that?
30:06I've been the bar to come.
30:06Y'all been a lot of fun.
30:07Make a lot of your house.
30:11He's hilarious.
30:13Very clever within his writing.
30:17His voice and the choice for low energy.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Watching it, you may not realize how clever the things are that he's saying.
30:25And the confidence it takes to sit in the pause.
30:28Like he took real long pauses.
30:31It's a style.
30:32He knows this shit works.
30:33A thousand percent.
30:33Like a lot of the bigger black comedians are usually so physical that in our community a lot of times
30:41we're told like that's how you're supposed to do comedy.
30:43So I think it's so dope to watch you just sit in your pocket and just be a sniper about
30:48things, you know?
30:49And I got a do-rag on.
30:51That's gangsta.
30:52Boy, do I love wearing a do-rag in white places.
30:54Mmm.
30:54That's gangsta.
30:57Okay, Macy!
31:00Hello.
31:02So much fun.
31:03Okay, we're hugging.
31:04We're hugging.
31:05We're hugging.
31:05We're hugging.
31:05We're hugging.
31:06Let's hear it for Macy Isaac!
31:12Hello.
31:15Do we have any parents here in the audience?
31:18Oh, okay.
31:19All right.
31:20I-I do have a bit of advice.
31:22I hope it's-I hope it's not too late.
31:24Uh, but if you're a parent and you're at your kid's sporting event and you feel the need to yell,
31:30look alive out there to your kid while they're playing that sport, maybe they don't want to play, you know?
31:41Just a thought.
31:43You know, maybe take them out to lunch, you know?
31:45Find out what they really want to do.
31:46What's the dream?
31:47Just so laid back.
31:49Look alive out there.
31:50I-I want kids one day.
31:51I do.
31:52I have to be honest with you guys, though.
31:53So far, uh, my husband and I, we-we've had three miscarriages.
31:57And it's okay.
31:57I barely knew them.
31:58Uh, they were really early.
32:01Really early.
32:02I was lucky.
32:03They all happened at about six weeks.
32:04And a lot of women don't even, you know, know they're pregnant at that point.
32:07But I wonder if it's just my body still thinks I'm in Texas.
32:12And it's trying to protect me, you know?
32:15Because after six weeks in Texas, you're in trouble.
32:17That's a great job.
32:18Thanks.
32:19My body's like, you need to drop a pin.
32:20Let us know where you are before we proceed.
32:22That's a great job.
32:24You know?
32:25I actually had two in one year, which I feel like is a little more rare.
32:29I call them my Irish miscarriages.
32:31And all three of them, they're actually all missed miscarriages.
32:35Meaning my body didn't show any signs at all.
32:37The doctor had to tell me every time, oh, this is happening again.
32:42Irish goodbye, you know?
32:43All of them.
32:45I just...
32:47That's why I call them mimic carriages.
32:51And, um...
32:52Which sounds like a seasonal item at McDonald's, I think.
32:58Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
33:00I'm losing it.
33:01That's what's happening.
33:02That's what's happening.
33:03That's what's happening.
33:06Uh...
33:06I am a bit of a hypocrite, though.
33:08I have to be honest with you.
33:09You know, I came in here hot with the parenting tip.
33:13But when I went in for my last ultrasound, um...
33:17I did look down and I yelled, look alive out there.
33:20I thought maybe, in this case, it would work.
33:23It didn't.
33:23Thank you, guys. I'm Macy Isaacs.
33:25Very smart.
33:26Really smart.
33:27That's good writing.
33:28Trying to be very clear.
33:30For a five-minute set, like, who are you?
33:32Yes.
33:33Take us on a ride.
33:34Yes.
33:34And then be funny.
33:35You're not going to forget what she spoke about.
33:38No way.
33:38As a comic, when you're dealing with shock factor material, that's tough.
33:42There's, like, inherent risk to it.
33:44It can land poorly.
33:45Yes.
33:45She nailed it.
33:48I did it.
33:49You're crying.
33:51I'm just putting it all into perspective.
33:53As far as we got Steve.
33:55I think you got Macy.
33:56I think we got Devontre.
33:57Andrea.
33:58I think Kalia was funny as well.
34:00I like Dan.
34:01Us being in line as far as a good thing.
34:03Yes.
34:03Right? Okay.
34:07If you had to put ingredients in the pot, what you feel are the important ingredients
34:13to make, shape, or mold a fucking good comedian, what would they be?
34:17I think there are three.
34:18Point of view, perspective.
34:19Like, I want to get to know you on stage.
34:21I want you to do a joke that only you can do.
34:24Yes, for sure.
34:24Yes, that's good.
34:26The second thing is the technical aspect of comedy.
34:28Do you know how to structure a joke?
34:30Do you know how to do tags?
34:31Do you know how to keep your setups short?
34:33Do you know how to, like, have a bunch of punchlines in a row?
34:35And then the third is sort of the X factor.
34:37And that's a very hard thing to define, whatever the star quality is.
34:41But you almost have to always come back around to who you are.
34:43Yes.
34:44That value is gold.
34:46That's what I think is special about comedy.
34:48And the great comics do that like nobody else.
34:51How do I make you relate?
34:53How can I fucking put a string through this audience and make everybody grab the string
34:57and everybody hold onto it and go, we all do that?
35:00Regardless of race, color, shape, size, whatever the fuck you are, what I'm talking about,
35:07everybody sees through the same lens.
35:09I hate that whole thing they do when they're like, oh, you're from Chicago.
35:12What, were you a Chicago 10 and now you're like in LA 4?
35:15Because first of all, I shouldn't have to do math to know if I'm hot.
35:19Here's what I know about myself.
35:20If I spend 24 hours in Appleton, Wisconsin, I can get somebody to buy me a house.
35:27That's nice in this economy.
35:29That's nothing to laugh about, okay?
35:31Within some of these jokes, when your setup takes you a while, I want the payoff to match.
35:38Yeah, yeah.
35:38I'll let you know a little bit about me.
35:39I'm married.
35:40I don't care if you believe me or not.
35:43Human lady, the whole shit.
35:46I'm in an interracial relationship.
35:49My wife is white.
35:50I'm Mexican.
35:51Sometimes you hear the grumbles of Latinas in the crowd mad at my decisions.
35:55I go, oh, my wife is white.
35:56They go, eh.
35:58Fuck you, lady.
35:59You didn't want to fuck me to begin with.
36:01He tripped a couple times.
36:03I think he didn't hear the reaction from the crowd that he wanted to.
36:06The thing you were talking about.
36:06And I think it shifted.
36:09Growing up black, there's so many unwritten rules in the black community that you gotta learn.
36:12For example, I don't know if y'all know this.
36:14There's a lot of white people here.
36:15Did y'all know we can't eat hot dogs in the black community no more?
36:19Did y'all know this?
36:20You could be at a whole barbecue and they like, oh, this nigga eating a glizzy.
36:25And I'm like, grandma, you made these.
36:29A little nervous.
36:30Yeah.
36:31He's got charisma like crazy.
36:34A lot of personality.
36:36I think watching newer comics, the grab for the easier joke.
36:40Yeah.
36:40We've seen it for years.
36:41And I think the research in comedy is something that a lot of the younger people skip.
36:46Yeah.
36:48We have three more to see, right?
36:50We have three more to see.
36:51And these next three might just fuck us up.
36:53I hope that's the case.
36:54I hope they make the decision harder.
36:55Yes.
36:5632nd morning for Ray.
36:59Ray, what are you doing?
37:01I'm stretching.
37:01Kama Sutra stretches.
37:04I am from Seattle, Washington.
37:06I graduated college and then I instantly moved down to Los Angeles.
37:10I was raised by two immigrant parents from Hong Kong.
37:13My parents don't fully understand what this is.
37:17Are they supportive?
37:18I don't know.
37:20Not in a traditional American sense, I would say.
37:22I have a seven word sentence that I think really illustrates the fact that my parents don't understand what this
37:26is.
37:27I've invited my parents to two shows ever.
37:29And the last time I go, hey, you guys want to come to the show?
37:31They said, is it going to be like last time?
37:34Give it up for Rayla!
37:35Yeah!
37:36When I first moved here, I was working part-time at a crowd restaurant.
37:40I was doing open mics.
37:41But that wasn't like my career.
37:43It was always a point to become a full-time stand-up comedian.
37:46So this year, six years in, I quit my job.
37:49I've been a full-time comedian for the past four months.
37:51Yeah, what's up?
37:53I am Raylao.
37:54I got some good news for me.
37:55My good news of the year is that this year I quit my job.
37:58So now for the first time ever, I'm a full-time stand-up comedian.
38:03Thank you so much.
38:04Thank you so much.
38:05So now I am self-employed, which I learned not that different from unemployed.
38:13There's no money coming in.
38:15Okay?
38:16Self-employed means I guess I'm my own boss now.
38:18But I realized I'm a bad boss.
38:21I had to look my employee in the mirror this morning.
38:24I told him, we can't pay you this week.
38:29He was hella pissed off?
38:30Of course.
38:32So I took him to the other room.
38:33I gave him a hand job.
38:34Okay?
38:34And I had to quit my job because something I realized about me at work is I was hella fake.
38:41I was very fake at my job.
38:42And I realized why because I was the youngest person in the whole office.
38:46Okay?
38:46Everyone else a lot older.
38:47They all got kids.
38:48And all they talk about are their kids.
38:50I'm like, who gives a fuck?
38:54I remember I was having a bad week at work.
38:56And this lady, she brought her son into the office.
38:59And he sucked.
39:02He come up to me.
39:03He go, hey, guess what?
39:05I can count to 100.
39:09I go, we're busy.
39:14And everyone else in the office, they love it though.
39:16They go, aw, you can?
39:18Well then show us.
39:21He goes, okay.
39:24One.
39:25Two.
39:26Three.
39:27I start looking up how to get a vasectomy.
39:30Four.
39:32Five.
39:32And if I had to listen to the whole thing, so do you.
39:35Okay?
39:35Six.
39:37Seven.
39:37This was 9.20 a.m.
39:39Eight.
39:40Nine.
39:41You think he's not really going to do the whole thing.
39:43Oh, yes I am.
39:44Ten.
39:45Eleven.
39:46Make sure you wear a condom.
39:47Okay?
39:48Twelve.
39:49Thirteen.
39:50Make sure you vote next time.
39:51Alright?
39:52Fourteen.
39:53Fifteen.
39:54Vote for less kids, if you can.
39:56Alright?
39:57Sixteen.
39:58Seventeen.
39:59The kid was white, if that matters.
40:02Eighteen.
40:03Nineteen.
40:04It doesn't matter, but it does make sense.
40:07Twenty.
40:07Twenty-one.
40:08If he was Asian, I'd already be at a hundred by now.
40:11I like the creativity.
40:12I like the creativity.
40:13And then do the kid, he gets stuck at thirty-one.
40:17He goes, thirty-one.
40:19Uh.
40:20I go, bro, what the fuck?
40:25You didn't even practice.
40:26Look at this.
40:29Everyone else in the audience, they start helping him.
40:31They go, come on, you got this.
40:32Thirty-one.
40:33Thirty.
40:34He goes, uh.
40:37Oh, thirty-two.
40:38Everyone starts clapping.
40:40I'm like, this is why we're losing to China.
40:44We're applauding this?
40:46If this happened in China, they would take that kid and send him to America.
40:52I know, because that's what happened to me.
40:55That's my time, guys.
40:56Thank you guys so much.
40:57I'm Ray Lau.
40:57Thank you very much.
41:00That's a really strong set.
41:02Very creative.
41:04Outside the box.
41:05First of all, I love a curmudgeon.
41:06I love somebody who's like, you know, railing against polite speech.
41:11Because everybody knows how you treat kids.
41:12Yeah.
41:13Which is, you go, that's great, buddy.
41:14You can count.
41:15And like, it's a release to hear somebody go, fuck that shit.
41:18Fuck these kids.
41:18Yeah.
41:19That's what we're here for.
41:19We're looking for the new energy in comedy with comedy.
41:24Yeah, yeah.
41:25Yay!
41:27Yes!
41:28Ray bumped something.
41:30Yeah, for sure.
41:31I felt like Ray's set was more polished than Dan's.
41:35Yes, yes.
41:36Dan has something funny to me.
41:38I don't know.
41:39I kind of want to see him more.
41:40I just, he's funny to me.
41:45I first got into comedy because I ruptured my Achilles and I could not play basketball anymore.
41:53And I just needed something to do.
41:55And I was like, okay, well, I'm funny.
41:57Let me go pursue this now.
41:59Because hoop dreams is over.
42:01And I think that's what's beautiful about comedy is that there's immediate reaction.
42:05Give it up for Pap Johnson!
42:07It's instantaneous.
42:08And it's like, oh, you get what I'm talking about.
42:11You understand.
42:12And I think that's what really, like, gets me going.
42:16Hello, my name is Pap Johnson.
42:20I'm a big wrestling fan.
42:22Anybody else?
42:24Yeah.
42:24Yeah.
42:25Yeah.
42:26So I'd like to give a shout out to John Cena.
42:30See, y'all ain't put enough respect on John Cena's name.
42:33Yeah.
42:34Cause I think John Cena is the most accomplished monkey-faced white man that there ever has been.
42:42Yeah.
42:48You like that?
42:50You like monkey-faced white man?
42:52I would love to see John Cena in, like, A New Planet of the Apes.
42:58Yeah, he'd show up to set.
42:59He's like, where's hair and makeup?
43:01They're like, you good.
43:02You good.
43:06Yeah.
43:07Now, I know I say a lot of dumb shit on stage.
43:10That's because my father used to beat me as a child.
43:13The hardest times would be, like, when the report card would come home.
43:16Yeah, my mom, she would look at me like,
43:20I'm so disappointed in you, you know.
43:22You just wait till your father gets home.
43:25Yeah.
43:25And then she would go in the other room and put on a mustache.
43:34No, I had a father.
43:36I had a father.
43:37Uh, Tim Allen.
43:42Yeah, I was raised on the tool, man.
43:44Recently, I heard that he's been demanding that he say the N-word on stage.
43:49Yeah, that shit was driving me crazy.
43:50I was just at home like, ah.
43:52Toy Story 5 is about to be off the hook.
43:57Yeah, to infinity and beyond, nigga?
44:06Man, I don't think it's gonna get better than that.
44:11So, I think I've been amazing.
44:13Y'all been all right.
44:15Enjoy the rest of y'all night.
44:18John Cena being a monkey-faced white man.
44:20That's that, that.
44:21John, if you're gonna see this and see me laugh, I love you.
44:24Funny's funny.
44:25I couldn't, I couldn't.
44:26Funny's funny.
44:27All right.
44:30I think the having a cadence, having a rhythm.
44:34His beats were beats.
44:36Like, he took his time.
44:37Yep.
44:37There were a couple times, was like, you got another joke in there?
44:40Yeah, is there another joke?
44:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:42Or are you waiting?
44:43Yeah.
44:44He has a twinkle.
44:45Yeah, there's a likability too.
44:47But I don't like that.
44:48I don't know if he ran out of jokes or not.
44:49Right.
44:50Who's closing it out?
44:52Felicia.
44:52Felicia.
44:53Oh my gosh, yeah.
44:54The whole day, yeah.
44:55I'm excited to close it out.
44:56I feel like they'll still have a lot of energy, hopefully.
44:58Yeah.
44:59I've been doing stand-up comedy for about 12 years.
45:01I feel like in comedy, a part of it is not knowing what's coming up,
45:04in life in general.
45:06You know what I mean?
45:06Stand-ups like that.
45:07I was diagnosed with breast cancer August 2023.
45:12And then I did chemo, and then surgery, and then radiation.
45:17And that took about a year and a half.
45:19And I've been cancer-free about a year now.
45:21Felicia, prove!
45:22Woo!
45:23Felicia!
45:23Here we go!
45:24The whole time, I was thinking like,
45:26I really can't wait to perform again.
45:27I mean, I've been through a lot.
45:29And I just want to kind of prove to myself,
45:31yeah, I was sick, yeah, I was out of the game, but I'm back.
45:33I'm in it.
45:34And I didn't lose my chops.
45:35I want to make the top three.
45:37That's what I want.
45:40Oh, thank you, thank you!
45:42I'm going to be very vulnerable with my stand-up.
45:45People come up to me after the show, and they say to me, like,
45:47wow, I've never seen someone talk about that.
45:48I've never seen someone say it that kind of way.
45:51You know what I mean?
45:51So I don't know any other place, really,
45:53that a black woman can just honestly be open and be herself.
45:57Hi.
45:58My name's Felicia Foulkes.
45:59I'm from Englewood, California, born and raised.
46:01Yes!
46:03Yes!
46:04If you haven't heard of Englewood, you should go tonight,
46:07bring your kids, bring your jewels.
46:10Walk around!
46:12Explore the city!
46:16I'm excited to be doing comedy again.
46:18I had to take a year and a half off.
46:19I was really sick.
46:20I don't know how else to say this.
46:21This is true.
46:22At stage 2, breast cancer.
46:24Very true, I know.
46:24Very sad.
46:25But now I'm, like, over a year breast cancer free.
46:27So that's pretty cool.
46:28God!
46:28Wow!
46:35I'm a hero.
46:37Oh, God.
46:37No, I did beat breast cancer.
46:39A man could never.
46:40Um...
46:42It's crazy going through something like that.
46:44I don't want to sound shallow or anything,
46:45but the whole time I was like,
46:46man, I'm going to have massive surgery
46:47and radiation and chemo.
46:49And I'm a woman.
46:49I just want to feel beautiful and attractive.
46:51But, ladies, if you're worried
46:53you're going to get sick like that and be ugly,
46:54don't worry.
46:56Men will still try to fuck you,
46:57even if you're radioactive.
47:00I don't know who needs to hear this message tonight.
47:02But, I know you're like,
47:04if I go through chemo I'll lose all my hair
47:06and my eyebrows and my eyelashes.
47:08They don't care.
47:10Um...
47:10I've learned they just flip you over.
47:12This is something I've learned.
47:13This is something I've learned.
47:16This is something I've learned.
47:17It's funny.
47:18I did get hit on at my favorite place
47:20I've ever been hit on at.
47:21I got hit on at chemo.
47:22Not to brag!
47:23Not to brag!
47:25Not to brag!
47:28A lot of bitches can't say that,
47:29you know what I mean?
47:31Because they're healthy and they're going to live.
47:32But, um...
47:34I feel like it was my fault.
47:35I was being really nice at chemo.
47:38Um...
47:38It was my first day,
47:40you know what I mean?
47:40So I had a lot of energy.
47:41I was like, yeah, let me be nice.
47:43Let me smile.
47:43Let me be positive.
47:44And one day this man looked at me
47:45and he was like, man, I like you.
47:47What you doing after this?
47:50After chemo?
47:58He was like, no, what are you really gonna do?
48:00We gotta do something together.
48:01We gotta live one more time.
48:02I was like, this motherfucker's smart.
48:03You know what I mean?
48:05And then I started flirting with everybody at chemo.
48:07I started...
48:08The more I went, I was like, he's right.
48:10I gotta pick people's spirits up.
48:11I gotta really do this.
48:12And sometimes men would not wanna come.
48:14They'd be like, eh, I'm so tired.
48:15I'm too sick.
48:16I don't wanna come.
48:16I'd be like, come to the next appointment.
48:18I'll give you a hand job.
48:19I was saying anything.
48:21I thought we were gonna die.
48:22I was saying anything.
48:25And guess what?
48:26They lived.
48:26They lived.
48:27And I don't...
48:28Right.
48:30And you know what?
48:31I don't get any credit.
48:32And that really pisses me off.
48:34They give the doctor all the credit,
48:35but I was saving niggas' souls.
48:37You understand me?
48:40Pulling niggas through.
48:44All right, I think that's my time.
48:45Love you.
48:46Bye.
48:46Bye.
48:48I love her.
48:49I love her.
48:52Very strong.
48:53A great way to close on.
48:55That was great.
48:56A great way to close on.
48:57Thank you, guys.
48:58Taking something as dark and making light of it.
49:01Yeah.
49:02I just saw a very tight...
49:04Yeah.
49:04Five minutes.
49:05Five minutes.
49:06Yeah.
49:06And the audience was...
49:07They were there every step of the way.
49:08She's highly likable.
49:10Yeah.
49:10That conversation of Ray and Dan is now Ray, Dan, Felicia.
49:14Because she was great.
49:15Well, we got a pickle.
49:16We got a fucking pickle.
49:19Shit.
49:25Thank you for yourselves.
49:26Y'all were a great audience.
49:27Thank y'all for coming out.
49:30This was a very strong...
49:31It's a strong group.
49:32Very strong group.
49:33Damn.
49:34This is a good problem to have.
49:35It was so cool to see all your friends' best five minutes.
49:37It's not an easy thing when you're narrowing it down.
49:40Kevin, if I could get you guys just to bag out this list, so we know what you're thinking.
49:44My biggest question with Papp is, did he run out of material?
49:48Even though you laughed the hardest with him?
49:51The John Cena joke made me laugh.
49:52Yeah.
49:53John Cena joke killed me.
49:55I know.
49:55That's what we're all reacting to.
49:56That's a joke.
49:57Off the chain.
49:58No, it's a joke, though.
49:59It's one joke.
50:00Okay.
50:00So I can't be unbiased or talking about the set.
50:04Tom is a comedian that, of course, knows hardship.
50:07Has been through the ups and downs that comedy will bring at your doorstep.
50:11But he stayed true to the craft.
50:13And I'm grateful for his help in selecting the comments going through.
50:16We have to get this right.
50:18We can't fuck it up.
50:20You find out tonight?
50:21Yeah, you find out right now, I think.
50:23It was fun.
50:24It was fun to watch, everyone.
50:25If I make it to the next round, I will shit myself.
50:33In a happy way.
50:34Thanks, you're so good.
50:36Oh, thank you.
50:37Well, you're so funny.
50:38I really, yeah, I think this is going to be really tough.
50:40I have no idea.
50:41And everyone's so different.
50:42I'm nervous.
50:43Yeah.
50:43Yeah.
50:44They said they were, like, taking notes.
50:46Like, they were really...
50:47Good job, everybody.
50:47Good job.
50:48Good job.
50:48Good job.
50:52Uh...
50:54I couldn't have asked for a better display of talent.
50:57Everybody here should be proud of themselves.
50:59Great choices of material.
51:01Creativity within material, right?
51:02But, as you know, it's a competition.
51:04So, unfortunately, we can't pick everybody.
51:06We can't take everybody.
51:07It is what it is.
51:08We'll pick what we see or what we feel is the best.
51:11Yes.
51:12With that in mind, here's my top five.
51:14First and foremost, uh, Steve.
51:16Yeah!
51:18Yeah!
51:19All right, bud!
51:20Yes!
51:21Hell yeah, Steve!
51:22Catching that hat.
51:23Catching that hat.
51:24Yeah, it was a head trick.
51:26Catching the hat was very cool.
51:28Macy.
51:28Where is she at?
51:30Yeah!
51:33Woo!
51:35Woo!
51:35Wow!
51:36Macy, you were so poised, too.
51:38It was fun to watch you do what you did and the way you do it.
51:41It was really great.
51:42Really, really great.
51:43Number three.
51:44Andrea.
51:44You also are going over as well.
51:47Yes!
51:47Yeah!
51:49Very, very funny.
51:50Love your choice of material.
51:52It was refreshing.
51:53So, congrats to you as well.
51:57I just want everyone to know I'm funny, so I'm hoping he thinks that.
52:01I want to win everything.
52:03Number four.
52:04I mean, Felicia.
52:05Goddamn.
52:06Thank you!
52:07Oh, God!
52:07Yes.
52:08From the moment you stepped on the stage, you grabbing a microphone, your energy.
52:12It was vibrant.
52:13It was real.
52:14It was personable.
52:15You had the audience in your hand from the moment you stepped on to the moment you stepped
52:18off.
52:18So, congrats to you.
52:19Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
52:21Our fifth person going through is...
52:25I feel nervous.
52:26I am.
52:27I'm like, I don't want to lie and be like, I'm confident right now.
52:30I'm nervous.
52:31I'm worried.
52:32I feel like I did enough, but I'm never 100% sure.
52:36Especially with the amount of talent that's in this show.
52:40It feels nerve-wracking.
52:42You know, we're always nervous a little bit.
52:44As comics, we face a lot of really high-pressure sets constantly.
52:47There's always someone we're trying to impress.
52:48Today, it's Kevin Hart and Tom Segura.
52:50Let's see what happens.
52:54Um, Devontre.
52:55Man.
52:57I'm gonna go with you.
53:01The confidence to be able to sit in pauses the way you do, it usually is something you
53:07see if somebody's been doing it, like, at least 10 years.
53:10So, I don't know if you're a fucking alien, but it's, uh, it was really...
53:13Three years of doing comedy was...
53:15That's nuts.
53:15It's extremely impressive.
53:17Woo!
53:19Um...
53:19Woo!
53:20Now, you know, all these decisions vetted out.
53:23It wasn't easy.
53:25Uh, it came with the fucking conversation of Xtreme back and forth.
53:29We said that we were gonna come out with a handful.
53:31A handful was five.
53:32But we made a decision to do something just made up on the spot.
53:37Uh, we're not done.
53:38We still got more.
53:41Motherfuckers.
53:42What?
53:43We're gonna take six instead of five.
53:49Set it ready for the show.
53:51I don't know.
53:52I don't know.
53:53Hit another stage.
53:55Gotta go.
53:56Gotta go.
53:57Turn to another page.
53:58Another chapter.
53:59Long ago.

54:02Like a pro.
54:03Stay up in it.
54:04We gon' get it.
54:05We drop in it.
54:06Represent it.
54:06We jump in it.
54:07Gotta keep it hot.
54:08Get the juice off in it.

54:11Never gon' stop.
54:11We will never quit it.
54:12Never gon' stop.
54:13This just the beginning.

54:15You thought that it ended.
54:16Admit it.
