00:03From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news.
00:10This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
00:27Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:32Donald Trump is using you for a GoFundMe, Lindsey Graham makes an even tougher sale than bombing Iran,
00:37and Triumph the Insult comic dog humps some legs at the correspondence dinner.
00:42But first, let's start with the most urgent issue facing America today.
00:47Donald Trump still doesn't have a ballroom, all right?
00:51Let's get into it in our new segment, Let Them Eat Ballroom.
01:01The country's going to hell in a handbasket. Let's do a little dancing.
01:14As we all know, there was an attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend,
01:19which, first of all, terrible week for light-skinned dudes.
01:25You got this guy going for the president and chewing carpet.
01:29Clay Thompson cheating on Megan Thee Stallion.
01:35No pressure, but, Drake, this album's got to be fire. It's all on you.
01:43But that was just my takeaway. Republicans had another, somehow dumber, takeaway.
01:47A group of Senate Republicans is pushing to fund the construction of President Trump's 90,000-square-foot ballroom
01:53using taxpayer money.
01:54We're going to introduce legislation that would authorize $400 million to be spent
02:01to secure the, to build the presidential ballroom.
02:07$400 million?
02:13That's our money. Why do we have to pay for this?
02:15We didn't try to shoot the president.
02:19Make this guy pay for the ballroom.
02:22This is the administration that is obsessed with government waste.
02:26I-I can't believe they dissolved Doge right before Trump demanded a $400 million ballroom.
02:33It's like how the Michael Jackson movie ended right before he starts molesting.
02:39You just went ahead and skipped all the important stuff, huh?
02:43We live in such a crazy time now that events don't even need to be connected to each other.
02:47Someone tried to kill the president, so now we're going to build a ballroom.
02:53But I feel like someone completely trustworthy told us we wouldn't have to pay for anything.
02:58We're putting up our own money with the government is paying for nothing.
03:03We did this, uh, no charge to the taxpayer whatsoever.
03:06All private money, not one penny is being used from the federal government.
03:11And, and, to his word, it isn't one penny.
03:15It's 40 billion pennies.
03:18Honestly, as soon as I heard about the ballroom, I knew we would end up paying for it.
03:22Like, Trump is the type of dude to wine and dine you and then forget his wallet.
03:28You know, he'll just be sitting with you like, I hope you had a great time.
03:31Um, uh, I just, uh-oh, uh, ooh, I, I hate to do this, but, uh, we're still going to
03:40have sex, right?
03:41Like, don't get me wrong, with so many seniors getting scammed in America, I'm glad one of them is turning
03:49the tables.
03:51I just don't want it to be on us, you know?
03:54And $400 million is way too much.
03:57Why is this ballroom so expensive?
03:59Is the roof going to be made of Coachella tickets?
04:02What could possibly make this thing cost so much?
04:05Like, be specific.
04:06Underneath, there will be a lot of military stuff.
04:09Military stuff?
04:13What military stuff?
04:14Name ten military stuffs.
04:16I'll wait.
04:25Lindsey Graham sounds like me in fifth grade trying to convince my mom to get me an Xbox.
04:30Like, you-you know, they make educational games, too.
04:38Here's what I don't get.
04:39The president travels with tons of security everywhere he goes.
04:43So what problem are we trying to solve, exactly?
04:46The ballroom itself will avoid the dilemma of having to leave the White House grounds.
04:51He literally could have left his bedroom, walked out the back of the White House, and been at the ballroom.
05:02Hey, hey, hey.
05:03The president needs to walk out of his bedroom into the ballroom.
05:09This feels like it's Lindsey's dream.
05:17I can see Lindsey, like, I must rise from my silk sheets.
05:23And directly into the cotillion.
05:27Oh, it's a-it's a mass cotillion, where-where I can be my truest self.
05:33This is not what a president is supposed to be focused on, unless that president is seven years old.
05:39You know, they're-they're writing a list like, I'm gonna have a slide that goes right from my bed to
05:43the pool.
05:46And I want a soup made out of candy, so whenever I get hungry, I can just eat my shirt.
05:57But still, as good as the White House is, Trump is gonna have to leave sometimes.
06:02It really does put President Trump at risk to go around Washington, D.C. like this.
06:07The president should not have to leave the White House to go to the Kennedy Center, to go to the
06:11Hilton, and-and venture out.
06:14People should come to him.
06:15Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:17The president shouldn't have to leave his house?
06:20You don't want the leader of the free world to visit anything.
06:25Hold on.
06:28Is the president depressed?
06:35I know people keep trying to shoot him, but still.
06:41Come to think of it, did he just get McDonald's door dashed to the house?
06:47That sounds like a man who's given up on life, you know?
06:51Wait until he finds out about Snuggies.
06:54There have to be arguments for this ballroom that don't just make the president sound like an indoor cat.
06:59I never understood the opposition to the ballroom.
07:02I mean, all women love ballrooms.
07:08All women love ballrooms?
07:11That argument is so sexist, it's one step away from being super woke.
07:15Like, all women love ballrooms?
07:18Why can't the president feel like a pretty girl?
07:31I mean, I don't even know how big of a deal this is, because sure, all the Republicans are on
07:35board,
07:35but there's no way there's even one Democrat that's going to support this.
07:38So far, only one Democrat, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, has come out in favor of this project.
07:45This dude is a ballroom guy?
07:50He's never worn a blazer that wasn't loaned to him by the Mayor D.
07:56The one time I've seen him wearing a jacket and tie, he was wearing them with a hoodie.
08:05He looks like he robbed somebody who was wearing a tie.
08:11It's like they told him he couldn't come in without one, and then he saw a guy wear one,
08:14and he was like, get over here.
08:19What does he want a ballroom for?
08:21I bet Republicans say if he voted for it, they'd add a bell tower just for him.
08:36Look, I know Republicans had Project 2025, but I'm starting to think they never wrote Project 2026.
08:44Because they're on day four of arguing that the president needs a ballroom to dance in.
08:49While we're at war, during an affordability crisis.
08:52But if we ask the government for housing, or health care, or day care, this is what we get.
08:57The United States can't take care of day care.
09:00We can't take care of day care.
09:01We're a big country.
09:02We have 50 states.
09:04We have all these other people.
09:05We're fighting wars.
09:06It's not possible for us to take care of day care.
09:09Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.
09:12We have to take care of one thing.
09:14Military protection.
09:17And, and, a ballroom.
09:21Now the big question is, do other countries apply the same logic of ballroom protection
09:26into their security problems?
09:29Jordan Klepper went to find out.
09:31Just days after political gun violence in our nation's capital,
09:35I went to Times Square to ask people from foreign countries,
09:38why is this happening here?
09:40In London, it's never really been a big thing, you know?
09:44The whole gun thing is not a big thing.
09:45It's just crazy to me, because that kind of stuff usually wouldn't happen in, like, Europe.
09:49I think most of Canada is pretty safe.
09:51Yeah.
09:52You're able to say please speak your mind without having to worry about being shut down.
09:57And doing that with words, not shut down.
09:59With that outside perspective, like, what are things Americans can do to make America safer?
10:06Lose the guns.
10:07Okay.
10:08That would help.
10:09Okay.
10:09Uh, noted.
10:10Yeah.
10:11If we don't do that, is there anything else?
10:13Try to be decent, respect people in general, of course.
10:17Okay.
10:17Let's say if that's, if that's not our sweet spot, what else you got?
10:19Reduce the number of guns.
10:21Reduce the number of?
10:22Guns.
10:23Uh, number of guns, yeah.
10:25No.
10:25Have you considered more ballrooms?
10:28Without guns, yeah.
10:29Okay, you're really hung up on this gun thing.
10:32These tourists were focused on the guns when Trump had a much simpler plan.
10:36It's drone-proof, it's bullet-proof glass, we need the ballroom.
10:39So how were these outsiders still so lost?
10:42Well, you know where you are right now, right?
10:44Yeah, Times Square.
10:45Times Square.
10:46And you know why Times Square was so f***ed up in the 70s?
10:48Tell me.
10:48No ballrooms.
10:49F***.
10:50Well, there was one, maybe more of a strip club.
10:52Ah.
10:53But this place was wild.
10:54Wouldn't you feel a little bit safer with, like, a closed situation?
10:58Maybe a chandelier hanging?
11:00Played at dinner?
11:01As I said, I've not been to a ballroom, so...
11:03You gotta go to a ballroom.
11:04I'm just...
11:04I know.
11:04This is for your own safety.
11:06Still, the more I talk to people from countries without constant political violence, the more
11:10I realize they could see a way through.
11:12Kind of communicating, keeping an open mind.
11:14Trying to get to a middle ground.
11:16I think it's about unity.
11:17You know where I find unity with people that I disagree with?
11:21Weddings.
11:22Yeah.
11:22I gotta tell you, the last time I was able to talk with my uncle, who was on the other
11:27side of the aisle, it was my cousin's wedding, you know?
11:29Yeah, a little Michael Jackson comes on, everybody dances a little bit, they start moving, we're
11:33all having a great time.
11:33Where did all that take place?
11:35At the wedding.
11:36And where is the wedding?
11:37In America.
11:38And where...
11:39But the location in America that the wedding is held within?
11:42New York.
11:43That's actually upstate, but it's pretty close.
11:45It's housed in a...
11:47A chapel?
11:48No, it's not a chapel.
11:49There's a room.
11:50There's a room.
11:50There's a room.
11:52The courthouse?
11:53No, it's not a...
11:54It's a room.
11:55Why don't you...
11:55Why don't you...
11:56Why don't you be a fucking courthouse?
11:57It's a room.
11:58It is a room.
11:59It is a room where we have a ball in that room.
12:02A ballroom?
12:02A fucking ballroom, man!
12:04Yeah!
12:05Finally, I was getting through to these people.
12:06This ballroom solution just makes sense.
12:09Makes no fucking sense.
12:10It doesn't...
12:11You don't need a fucking ball.
12:12You know?
12:13What's the point?
12:13I gotta tell you, you have a lousy attitude.
12:15If you could come up with any other way to solve our gun violence problem other than ballrooms,
12:19I'd love to fucking hear it.
12:22But that's our time.
12:23Thank you very much.
12:24Thank you very much.
12:28Thank you, Jordan.
12:29When we come back, try the insult comic dog, Ghost of D.C.
12:32It's been going well.
12:52Welcome back to The Daily Show.
12:54Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner was a terrifying and somber night.
12:58Maybe we shouldn't have sent Triumph the Unsold Comic Dog to cover it.
13:02But we did.
13:04Here's his report from the red carpet before the dinner started.
13:07I am here at the White House Correspondents' Dinner,
13:10an annual gathering of the press that celebrates, or in tonight's case,
13:15fondly remembers, free speech.
13:18On this night, members of the press sit down for a lavish dinner
13:22served by some of their former colleagues.
13:24So many of the biggest names in D.C. are here,
13:27such as Redacted and Redacted.
13:31Ooh, CNN.
13:32This is a big night.
13:34How about Wolf Blitzer?
13:35Is he going to be here?
13:36I'm assuming he's going to be here tonight.
13:38Because I want to catch him before the bosses replace him with Jake Paul, you know.
13:42Here, Leech, Ryan.
13:43Is that where we're going tonight?
13:45Listen, where are all the stars?
13:46That's what I want to know.
13:48D.C., any of you're a star.
13:49I'm the biggest star here.
13:51It's pathetic.
13:52This thing needs a red carpet like the Olive Garden needs a velvet rope.
13:57Fox News guy, come on.
13:59You're not above this.
14:01The sun.
14:02We got the sun.
14:03Peter Ducey.
14:04This is a catch.
14:05What a night.
14:06No comedians.
14:07We don't need comedians.
14:08We have a mentalist.
14:10And do you think Trump's going to tell some jokes like how he won the Iran war
14:14and how gas prices are going down?
14:17Pretty good stuff.
14:18It's Peter's death.
14:19Peter, let's go.
14:20Peter, no.
14:22Peter, if the mentalist asks Trump to pick a number,
14:25it'll probably be under 18.
14:27Would you agree?
14:28I kid.
14:29I kid.
14:30It's a politically motivated lie.
14:32You guys at Fox News know what I'm talking about.
14:35Okay.
14:36Now he really has to go.
14:38It's great to see all you Republican guys out here praising Trump.
14:42Normally, I'm the only one out here licking someone's nuts.
14:47Dr. Oz!
14:48I love dogs.
14:50Let me ask you about the mentalist.
14:51Are you worried that if he pulls a rabbit out of his hat,
14:54will RFK Jr. try to eat it?
14:57Oh, my God.
14:58It's Janine Pirro.
14:59This lineup is crazy.
15:01It's like Black Tie January 6th.
15:04She'll never talk to me, but I have a secret weapon.
15:07Check it out.
15:09Janine!
15:10Janine!
15:11Janine!
15:12Mark Wayne Mullen, the head of the DHS, I have to tell you,
15:16I'm a little resentful of you guys.
15:18I was stooping a Mexican hairless, and she was picked up by ice.
15:21I don't know if that's funny about you.
15:24Over in the back there is either Brett Baer or someone tried to draw American dad from memory.
15:32Do you think Trump will eventually be tried for war crimes?
15:35Not for Iran, but for what he's done to the Oval Office toilet.
15:40Have you met Kash Patel?
15:41I have, I have.
15:43You know, I hear he's a good guy.
15:45You know, he loves sports.
15:46Great guy.
15:46Are you worried that if he doesn't win his $250 million lawsuit against the Atlantic,
15:52that he won't be able to cover his tab at the poodle room?
15:56His tab at the what?
15:57The poodle room.
15:58I think people need to stop complaining about Kash Patel drinking so much.
16:03If you know a better way to come down from how much cocaine he's doing, I'd like to hear it.
16:08I don't know if Kash Patel is a cocaine party guy.
16:13Of course not.
16:14You know, and a lot of great people are here.
16:16You can tell that some of the most powerful people in Washington are here tonight
16:20because all the escort services have switched to surge pricing.
16:25Oh my God, it's so exciting.
16:27All the big names are here from the cabinet.
16:30And Caroline Levitt is here.
16:32I mean, physically, her soul left her body about a year ago.
16:36We're very poor Caroline Levitt.
16:38Where is Stephen Miller, anyway?
16:40I heard he's stuck in a glue trap.
16:42Caroline, Caroline, are you feeling secure?
16:45Women in this administration are dropping faster than inbred French bulldogs.
16:50Look at her, seriously.
16:51I haven't seen anyone so full of shit since that time I watched the Chihuahua eat a king-sized Reese's
16:57peanut butter cup.
16:58So Pete Hegseth's right over there.
17:00Can I see him?
17:01Yeah.
17:01Can you give him his drink tickets?
17:05He asked me to pick him up for him.
17:08Hey, Pete!
17:09Pete!
17:11Where are we pre-gaming?
17:13And post-gaming?
17:15And mid-game gaming?
17:18Cheryl, what's special about this night, other than it's the only celebrity party you're invited to anymore?
17:25Bobby, please, Bobby, can I see my brother one last time?
17:30He's in your freezer.
17:32What brings you to the White House Correspondents Dinner?
17:35Are you kidding?
17:36This is a wonderful night.
17:37We're honoring the First Amendment with Donald Trump.
17:41It's kind of like having Kanye come for Passover.
17:44So what rotting husk of a once-great industry are you with?
17:48Oh, USA Today.
17:50Okay, good.
17:52And tell me this.
17:54What's the plan after this is over?
17:56The bar.
17:57No, no, I'm not talking about tonight.
17:59I'm talking about after the news industry is over.
18:03Marco, come on.
18:05You can do this.
18:07What's the matter, Mr. Secretary?
18:09Afraid of a little dog?
18:13I'm down on my luck, Marco.
18:15Please, just one question.
18:16Just tell me which country you're attacking next.
18:18I'm trying to win some money on Pali market.
18:20I'm trying to win some money on Pali market, man.
18:23Just give me a wink if it's Kazakhstan.
18:26It's illegal for dogs to gamble.
18:30Thank you, Triumph.
18:31When we come back, Gaten Matarazzo will be joining me on the show, so don't go away.
18:51Welcome back to The Daily Show.
18:53My guest tonight is an actor and producer who stars in the new comedy, Pizza Movie.
18:58These duds?
18:59Guess so.
19:01Want to play Wizard's Oath?
19:02No, we can't.
19:03We need three people.
19:04I could play.
19:05No, I take too long to teach you the rules.
19:11Oh, no.
19:19Please welcome Gaten Matarazzo.
19:38That's so funny.
19:41I like this mug.
19:42Thank you so much for coming.
19:43I'm so happy to be here.
19:44Thank you for having me.
19:45Yeah.
19:46I'm a very big fan of yours, I have to say.
19:47Really?
19:48I haven't for a very, very long time.
19:49So I'm very, very excited that you are here.
19:53This makes me very happy.
19:54I feel the same way about you.
19:55This is very cool.
19:56I appreciate it.
19:57Even if it was just us, even if they weren't here, this would be very cool.
20:00This was fine.
20:01This was great.
20:01Yeah.
20:02So this movie is like a new age Harold and Kumar.
20:06Sure.
20:07Yeah.
20:07You get that reference?
20:08I do.
20:08I love that movie for a very long time.
20:11And that was a movie that was mentioned in the pitch when I first read the script.
20:16And it was pitch as well.
20:18It's just like a love letter to stoner movies in general.
20:21What I'm...
20:26This is a very funny thing to talk about on this show, which I love very, very much.
20:30But, uh, yeah, it was a blast to make.
20:33And what was really fun is that they knew they wanted to go for and mention as many kind of
20:39usual tropes that stoner movies kind of tried to go into all the time.
20:44That can be a bit of an eye roll and kind of just go so far into them that it's
20:48so, like, self-referential and bizarre and really fun and kind of spin on it.
20:53And it was so much fun to make.
20:54It was, yeah, nuts.
20:55How do you prepare for the role?
20:58Oh, man.
21:01What?
21:04There's plenty of research and tons of things.
21:07Things to watch.
21:09Yeah.
21:10Experiences to have.
21:11Oh, man.
21:12You could go on and on.
21:15Yeah, in ways, for sure.
21:17Yeah, yeah.
21:18My dad's here.
21:19Oh, okay.
21:20That's good.
21:21All right.
21:22All right.
21:24That's fair.
21:26And the thing is, the drug in the movie doesn't exist in real life.
21:30Fictional drug.
21:31Yes.
21:32That was explained to me specifically as the reason that we can do whatever we want is that we made
21:38up the drug so we can just go for it.
21:41Yeah.
21:41And that was really cool.
21:43The drug, I think I can say this without spoiling too much, but the drug that we take is an
21:51experimental drug that was made in our dorm by a previous tenant or a previous student there.
21:58And when we take it, we realize it is going to hit us in distinct phases that are representative of
22:05several comedic movie tropes.
22:07And that to stop ourselves from our worst nightmares finding us and shoving chainsaws up our ass, we have to
22:14eat pizza, specifically pizza, or else it will go horribly wrong.
22:20Okay.
22:21All right.
22:23I feel like, what a synopsis.
22:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:28I wish that clip before was, I wish I could say that that's out of context, but that's pretty much
22:32in context.
22:33Yeah.
22:35That's as much context as you get before that starts.
22:37Oh, that's fair.
22:38Yeah.
22:39And then this movie is about you and your friend in search for that pizza, right?
22:44In search for that pizza.
22:46What is a food or a dish, something that you would sort of go through hell to get?
22:51That's a good question.
22:53Oh, man.
22:54I think just things I grew up enjoying that, like, my family would make a lot of.
22:58I would put pizza in there.
23:00My grandfather makes one of the best pizzas I've ever had, which is great.
23:03He had pizzerias growing up, and so did my uncle.
23:05So I would go through a lot for a slice that he would make for me.
23:10It would be nice.
23:11My mom makes a pretty crazy mac and cheese.
23:12But it's like nostalgia food, for sure, I think I would do a lot for.
23:17Absolutely.
23:18Yeah, but I don't know if I'd go through too much.
23:20I don't know.
23:21I'd like to say I would.
23:22You would, like, be like, it would be nice.
23:24Yeah, within reason.
23:26Like, I'm not going to drive, though.
23:27I won't drive or anything.
23:29Yeah, I really won't make anything.
23:31Absolutely not.
23:32I know that so often in stoner movies it's about getting the thing that's going to taste the best while
23:39you're high.
23:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:39But I'm curious, what is the worst meal that you've ever had?
23:44Oh, man.
23:46I'm not picky.
23:47Okay.
23:48If it's edible.
23:49Yeah.
23:49And if it's not going to make me sick.
23:51Right.
23:51Yeah.
23:52If it's not going to make me sick, I'll usually find something to enjoy about it.
23:55It's kind of the same way I feel about movies in general.
23:58Okay.
23:58I'm like, if this is exactly what it's trying to be, then I'll usually enjoy it.
24:03But I remember one time I was out to eat with my girlfriend and we shared a dish.
24:09And I think, like, something was, like, off.
24:12Something that had spoiled.
24:13Mm-hmm.
24:14And it was just, it was, like, rank.
24:18It was weirdly.
24:19It was, like, a little bit, like, stinky.
24:20Yeah.
24:21And not in a very, not in a good way.
24:23And it wasn't a dish that would have, like, that would have been something to expect.
24:27And I felt...
24:27So it wasn't stinky in, like, a blue cheese way.
24:29No, no, no, no, no.
24:30It wasn't, like, funky or, like, what's that?
24:32It was more of, like, this is not going well.
24:36And this is as you're chewing.
24:37This is as I'm chewing.
24:38And the manager of the restaurant was a fan of the show that I do and wanted to talk about
24:43it for a little bit.
24:43And I didn't want to be rude.
24:44And so I just kept eating the food.
24:48I know.
24:51And I muscled a lot of it down for...
24:54It was, it was tough.
24:56I didn't get sick, though.
24:57Yeah, okay.
24:58All right.
24:58That's fantastic.
24:59Which is a win.
25:00You definitely...
25:00I think in that department is a clear win.
25:03You definitely didn't deserve to get sick.
25:05I don't think so.
25:05Because you were over here not just, like, having a good conversation, but also be like,
25:09eh, food is delicious.
25:10Yeah.
25:11It was great, man.
25:12It was awesome.
25:13He's like, you want more?
25:14You want to take it home?
25:14I'm like, no, I don't know.
25:16I'm stuffed.
25:16I'm stuffed.
25:17No, I'm so full of poison.
25:19I couldn't possibly...
25:20I couldn't possibly eat more.
25:23So you are actually going to be in the movie musical coming up that is directed by...
25:28Am I not supposed to say?
25:29No, please.
25:30Okay, because your eyes got so...
25:31I'm so happy you have.
25:32When your eyes got big, I was like, I'm still new to this.
25:34So then when you were like, oh, I was like, oh, no.
25:37No, this is very good.
25:38Oh, okay.
25:38I love to talk about this.
25:39Okay, great, great.
25:40I cut you off for free.
25:40So, no, no, no.
25:41This is perfect.
25:42I just want to make sure I wasn't...
25:44Please do.
25:44You see those clips that, like, the person is, like, hosting and then they spoil something?
25:49They're so good.
25:49And then you're like, oh, you weren't supposed to tell anyone.
25:52You can tell whoever you want.
25:53Okay.
25:54This is great.
25:54All right, please.
25:54You are in the movie musical coming up that is directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
26:02Yes, I am.
26:03Yeah.
26:06Very, very exciting.
26:08Very, very good reaction.
26:10Yes, indeed.
26:11He usually gets one.
26:12Yeah.
26:12I'm sure.
26:12And so tell me about, not just, like, process, because I know you started in theater and
26:18everything.
26:18But, like, what that is like to get yourself in the headspace project to project, because
26:23this is going to be very different.
26:25It's tremendously different.
26:26It's a really cool musical that I actually didn't know much about until Lin approached
26:33me with him making the movie of it.
26:37It's called Octet, and it's a musical that consists of eight people.
26:42It is sung completely acapella, and it takes place in a church basement for an addiction
26:48support group for people who are addicted to technology.
26:50And it's a crazy concept.
26:53And the cast is really cool.
26:55There's some really awesome people that, yeah, I'm geeking out every day I'm there.
26:59I just got back from rehearsal today, which, it's just been an absolute blast.
27:03It's really, really cool.
27:05That's awesome.
27:05Yeah, getting into a weird new headspace like that, or even just jumping into a project
27:09that is, even the process of it is just so distinctly different from anything that
27:13I've done before.
27:15Yeah.
27:15Because I've worked in musical theater, I've worked in film and TV, and this meshes those
27:19two things in a really cool way.
27:21We have a rehearsal process before we even start shooting, which we're in now.
27:25So we're rehearsing it as if we were going to put it on a stage.
27:29And yet we are, there's still a bit of, like, pre-production and worrying about filming
27:35it, which is bizarre to me.
27:36And certain things will be shot in long takes that we have to rehearse for as if we were
27:40doing a play or a musical.
27:41And that's going to be really cool.
27:43But Lin's a brilliant guy and is, I believe, a true genius.
27:49I think that word gets thrown around a lot.
27:50And I think he is a real one.
27:53And anything he puts his hands on, it's just kind of magic.
27:56So it was just a no-brainer.
27:57He's incredible.
27:58That's incredible.
27:59That's so exciting.
27:59I'm really excited.
28:00Thank you, thank you.
28:01That is so exciting.
28:03Thank you so much for being here with me.
28:05Thank you so much.
28:06I'm so glad.
28:08Y'all, give it up one more time.
28:09Give it up.
28:10Oh, man.
28:10That's incredible.
28:11That's so terrible.
28:13That's incredible.
28:14Pizza Movie is available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Quest.
28:18Get in my closet.
28:20We're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
28:23That is so awesome.
28:33That's our show for tonight.
28:34Now, here it is.
28:35The Moment of Zen.
28:36The argument that it's a lavish vanity project?
28:41Maybe.
28:42But it's mostly for national security.
28:44They're building a nerve center for the Defense Intelligence Agency underneath.
28:48And you can't get a drone through, a missile through.
28:51It's the safest place on planet Earth.
28:53We can have not only White House Correspondence Centers, we can have Kid Rock concerts in there.
28:59Sorry.
29:00It's much larger than you.
29:00Yeah.
29:02You're coming.
29:02Yeah.
