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, Desi Leiden.
00:28Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Desi Leiden. We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:33Trump commits golf-on-golf crime, Marco Rubio gets his lamest job yet,
00:38and America's building a ballroom, and Mexico's paying for it.
00:42Just kidding. We're paying for it. We're always paying for it.
00:46But first, let's get into the latest in the war on Iran.
00:52Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.
00:57We are now in week nine of our four-week war with Iran, and it hasn't been going great.
01:04But this morning, there was some unquestionably good news for anyone insider trading the oil markets.
01:09And we do have breaking news this morning.
01:12White House officials believe, quote,
01:14the U.S. and Iran are closing in on a one-page memo to end the war.
01:22I'm sorry, a one-page memo?
01:25How can Trump end a war with less paperwork than it took me to end my Planet Fitness membership?
01:32Whoever wrote that memo, can you please organize all bachelorette trips?
01:36Can we actually, um, can we see a copy of this memo?
01:48I don't know. I don't know. I mean, is that really him?
01:53Ah.
01:55Yes, okay, that's him. That's definitely him.
01:58Now, obviously, this is far from a done deal,
02:00since Iran does not seem to trust Donald Trump.
02:03Some say that's because Trump famously never honors his agreements,
02:06while others say, yep, that's it, what the first guy said.
02:10The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has a more sophisticated explanation.
02:15The times come for Iran to make a sensible choice.
02:17And it's not easy for them to do that, obviously,
02:19because the top people in that government are, to say the least, um,
02:24you know, um, they're insane in the brain.
02:29Really, Marco?
02:30A little inappropriate to be quoting old rap lyrics
02:34while you're talking about war.
02:35I mean, can you imagine your doctor telling you,
02:39if you're looking for the tumor on this scan, whoop, there it is.
02:45I'm afraid it's actually spread from the windows to the walls.
02:50The sweat dropped down my...
02:54But if you've been watching Marco Rubio for a long time,
02:57first of all, what is wrong with you?
02:58And second, you know that this is kind of his thing.
03:02Every day, the Department of War lets the drummer get wicked
03:06over every portion of Iran.
03:08They should check themselves before they wreck themselves.
03:09If you don't know, now you know.
03:11We are dealing with people over there
03:12that have spent most of their lives
03:13living in a gangster paradise.
03:19I'm sorry, we're getting breaking news
03:20that rap is no longer cool.
03:24Marco, you've got to drop this.
03:26You're the secretary of state, for Christ's sakes,
03:28not some lame wedding DJ.
03:30Marco Rubio clocking in for a shift
03:32as a wedding DJ over the weekend.
03:35And don't stop keeping on your brain
03:37to keep that up, yo!
03:38I feel so close to you.
03:45How is no one in this administration busy?
03:48Marco Rubio's DJing,
03:50Kash Patel is partying in locker rooms,
03:52RFK is working out with Kid Rock,
03:55Donald Trump has scheduled nap times
03:57in the middle of meetings.
03:58Guys, you have to focus.
04:01We need to end this war.
04:02It is costing us billions of dollars a week.
04:05Surely there are more important things
04:06we could be spending money on.
04:08Senate Republicans are working to secure
04:10$1 billion in taxpayer money
04:12for President Trump's White House ballroom,
04:14saying the money is for security enhancements.
04:17Ugh, not the f***ing ballroom again.
04:20People didn't even want the ballroom
04:22when he was building it for free.
04:23Now Trump's like, okay, I hear you,
04:25but what if it costs a billion dollars?
04:29And if this ballroom story is making you sick,
04:32don't worry.
04:32It can also make you literally sick.
04:35Health concerns growing from President Trump's
04:37ballroom project,
04:38a new report showing soil taken
04:40from the White House construction project
04:41has tested positive for toxic chemicals.
04:44So that soil is dumped near one of the three golf courses
04:47at East Potomac.
04:49Oh, my God.
04:51These poor golfers.
04:52First, they can't even clap normally,
04:54and now this?
04:57I can't believe I'm saying these words,
04:59but the toxic waste the president
05:02has dumped onto the public grounds
05:04from his demolition of the White House
05:06could be very dangerous for golfers.
05:12I hope everyone in the D.C. area
05:14keeps a safe distance.
05:15D.C. News Now's Daniel Hanberg
05:17joining us live at the golf course
05:19there in Southwest.
05:20And, Daniel, are there
05:21health and safety concerns at this point?
05:26There are, Susan and Chris.
05:31Sure are, Susan and Chris.
05:33The toxic site you sent me to
05:35is indeed toxic.
05:38Really seems like the kind of thing
05:39we could have talked about in the studio.
05:41Anyone else taste blood?
05:44But let's move on from the golf course
05:46to something equally toxic,
05:48Chuck Edwards,
05:49North Carolina congressman
05:51and guy who's not bald,
05:52so stop asking.
05:55Turns out he's in big trouble.
05:57Yet another member of Congress
05:58facing a House Ethics Committee investigation
06:00into allegations of sexual misconduct.
06:03What sources described to me
06:04was inappropriate conduct
06:05that crossed the line.
06:06Representative Chuck Edwards
06:07had an inappropriate relationship
06:09with two young female staffers
06:10who were both in their 20s.
06:12Both of these relationships
06:13included love letters,
06:15personal gifts,
06:16personal travel.
06:17We saw Edwards write to this staffer
06:19that she was, quote,
06:20the most amazing woman,
06:21that she, quote,
06:21had written a complex chapter
06:23in his heart.
06:27A complex chapter in his heart?
06:29What a sophisticated way
06:31of saying me horny.
06:34But, yeah.
06:39Yeah, I believe this guy is a creep.
06:42I mean, he's the kind of guy
06:43who's not wearing a fedora,
06:45but when you think of him later,
06:46he's wearing a fedora.
06:50Anyway, we know what
06:52his love letters were like,
06:53but gifts, gifts were
06:54his real love language.
06:55He gave these two staffers
06:57jewelry, designer bags.
06:59One of the gifts
07:00was even a custom puzzle
07:01that, when you assembled it,
07:02revealed a photo
07:03of Adam Sandler
07:04with a handwritten note
07:05asking the staffer
07:06to come to a comedy show,
07:08one of Adam Sandler's
07:09comedy shows with her.
07:14You sexually harassed
07:15your staffer
07:16with a custom
07:17Adam Sandler puzzle?
07:20Not only are you violating
07:22the rules of the workplace,
07:23but you're giving her homework?
07:25This is...
07:26I don't even know
07:28how to describe this.
07:29This is...
07:29This is...
07:30Insane in the brain.
07:33Yes, exactly.
07:38For more on the
07:40Chuck Edwards scandal
07:41and its fallout,
07:42we go live to the Capitol
07:43with our very own
07:44Michael Kosta.
07:51Michael,
07:52what is your analysis here
07:54as a pervert expert?
07:57Thank you, Desi.
07:59And just to be clear,
08:00I'm an expert on perverts,
08:02not an expert
08:03who is also a pervert.
08:06If you say so.
08:07What do you think
08:08of these allegations?
08:10Desi, these allegations
08:11definitely constitute
08:12abuse of power,
08:14and if proven,
08:15they justify severe punishment.
08:17No ifs, ands, or buts.
08:19Thank you, Michael.
08:21But...
08:23As far as congressional
08:25allegations go,
08:26I gotta be honest with you,
08:27this weirdo
08:28was pretty thoughtful.
08:31Wait, what are you talking about?
08:33You can't hit on your staff.
08:34Obviously.
08:35No, no, no, you can't.
08:36Yeah.
08:37No one should.
08:37Hey, don't do that.
08:38Right.
08:40They make me sick, literally.
08:41I threw up all over the place
08:43when I heard it.
08:43I'm standing in my own puke
08:45right now.
08:48But...
08:49Normally,
08:50this type of thing
08:51is dick pics,
08:52strip clubs,
08:53watching an intern walk by
08:54and going,
08:58but a creep
08:59who takes the time
09:00to make a custom puzzle
09:01of the cobbler star
09:03Adam Sandler
09:04isn't just thinking
09:05with his penis.
09:07He's thinking with this.
09:10His chest penis.
09:14Wait.
09:22Wait, can you back up a bit?
09:23The cobbler
09:25is what you know
09:26Adam Sandler from?
09:27Is he in other stuff?
09:28I thought he was
09:30just that
09:30and sometimes
09:31some puzzles.
09:32Okay, I don't think
09:33being a creep is okay
09:34as long as you give gifts.
09:35Totally agree.
09:36Okay?
09:37Again, Des,
09:38I'm ankle deep
09:39in my own lunch right now.
09:40All right?
09:40My loafers are covered
09:41in rigatoni.
09:42Ew.
09:45But...
09:46Thoughtful gifts
09:47do make bad things
09:48slightly less bad.
09:50Look, it's like
09:50when you go to the dentist
09:51and they give you
09:52a little gift bag
09:53on your way out.
09:54Look, I'm not happy
09:55about the visit,
09:56but the extra toothbrush
09:57is nice to have around.
09:59Especially when you puke
10:00as much as I do.
10:02All right, but that gift
10:03isn't thoughtful at all.
10:04Clearly, he just wanted
10:06to go to an Adam Sandler show.
10:07A 25-year-old woman
10:08doesn't care about
10:09Billy Madison.
10:11Who's Billy Madison?
10:12Is that another congressman?
10:14No, my point is
10:16there's no room
10:17for inappropriate behavior
10:18in a workplace.
10:19I don't care
10:20if there are gifts involved.
10:21Perverts can't excuse
10:22their perversion
10:23by offering gifts
10:24to victims
10:24as a way of mitigating
10:26the foundational wrongness
10:27of their perversion.
10:30Well, well, well.
10:33Looks like someone
10:34has joined the ranks
10:36of the pervert experts.
10:38Welcome to the club, Desi.
10:40Your welcome gift
10:42is a custom puzzle
10:43of tickets to the cobbler.
10:45Oh, okay.
10:46All right.
10:46Thank you, Michael.
10:47Michael Cox, everybody.
10:49When we come back,
10:51find out what to give America.
10:53So don't go away.
11:13Welcome back to the Daily Show.
11:15A time pencil is a great way
11:17to remember the past,
11:18but do Americans today
11:19want to be remembered?
11:21Troy Iwata hit the streets
11:22to find out.
11:31It's America's 250th birthday,
11:34and our government
11:35is preserving this moment
11:36in a very special way.
11:38As part of the celebration,
11:40Congress has mandated
11:41the creation of a time capsule.
11:43The commission's chairwoman,
11:44Rosie Rios, says, quote,
11:45we want future generations
11:47to have a clear, authentic window
11:49into who we were at 250.
11:51So in 250 years,
11:53when future Americans
11:53open this time capsule,
11:55will they be jealous
11:56of the golden age
11:57we're currently living in?
11:58I'm asking present-day patriots
12:00what they think.
12:01Now, why is 2026
12:03the best year in American history
12:05to preserve for future generations?
12:07Because it's not.
12:09Not really.
12:10Oh.
12:10Well, I don't think
12:11it's the best year
12:12to preserve for future generations.
12:13I would say it's not the best.
12:15I'd say it's the best.
12:15Did you see how 2026 started?
12:18Yes.
12:18Zendaya released, like,
12:20nine movies.
12:21What do you think
12:22we can put into this time capsule
12:24that's representing America
12:25in 2026,
12:26the height of American society?
12:28I was thinking, like,
12:30a pile of shit, maybe?
12:31No, I think if somebody
12:32went and took a shit
12:33right outside the White House,
12:35pick it up,
12:36put it in a time capsule.
12:38Oh, that's gross.
12:39Surely people have
12:40more positive ideas
12:41and less feces-based ones.
12:43What do you think
12:44we should put in this time capsule?
12:45Lena Dunham's new memoir.
12:47Lena Dunham's new memoir,
12:48Fame Sick.
12:49That's a really good idea.
12:51The people of the future
12:52definitely need
12:53Lena Dunham's memoir,
12:55Fame Sick.
12:55There was a picture
12:56of a burning Cybertruck
12:57in front of Trump Tower.
12:58I figured that quite
12:59encapsulates a few things.
13:00What do you think
13:00is more important
13:01to put in the time capsule?
13:03This map that shows
13:04Canada, Greenland, and Cuba
13:05still as independent countries?
13:06Or this LeBubu?
13:08This map right here.
13:09Yeah, because we don't know
13:10in 250 years
13:11if they're still going
13:12to be independent.
13:13Well, we don't know
13:13if they're still going
13:14to be independent
13:14in 250 minutes.
13:16That's true.
13:16LeBubus are forever.
13:18Okay.
13:18All the pessimism
13:19on the streets
13:20was starting to get to me,
13:21and soon I found myself
13:22drinking the Haterade.
13:24Is there an item
13:25that you think
13:26represents America
13:27that you would put
13:28in the time capsule?
13:29I'm a teacher, elementary,
13:30so a children's book.
13:33It's funny that you think
13:34children might know
13:35how to read in 250 years.
13:37I've already lost cursive.
13:38What are some other items,
13:40maybe even from the Trump era,
13:42that could go in there?
13:42Do you think RFK Jr.'s
13:43brain worm would survive in there?
13:45I do.
13:46I want a voice memo
13:47of him speaking
13:49just in general.
13:50Oh, okay.
13:51Do you think people
13:52in the future would know
13:52that that's a human speaking?
13:54No.
13:55Yeah.
13:55No.
13:55I know what I would put
13:56in the time capsule.
13:57I would put this.
13:59Yes.
13:59But I would also put this.
14:01Love, love it.
14:01To show that I have range.
14:02Looks like RFK's ringworm
14:04is, like, in your brain.
14:06Oh, my God.
14:07But in 250 years,
14:08who will even be around
14:09to pull these headshots
14:10from the time capsule?
14:11I don't know
14:12if there's going to be,
14:13like, a civilization
14:14to access it.
14:15They're probably wearing
14:16hazmat suits and, you know.
14:17I mean, let's be honest,
14:18they'll probably bust this thing open
14:20in 65 years
14:20in desperate search for food.
14:22What do you think
14:22America's going to look like
14:23in 250 years?
14:25Oh, my God.
14:26They should split America in two.
14:27We should segregate again?
14:28I mean, let's face it,
14:29in 250 years,
14:31America might be
14:31a desolate wasteland.
14:32So maybe we should put
14:33some, like, survival gear
14:34in this time capsule.
14:36Maybe fresh water,
14:37granola bars,
14:38a gun with a single bullet.
14:40Just off the top of my head.
14:42I'm an optimist.
14:43And I used to be.
14:44Clearly the best thing
14:45to put in this time capsule
14:46is an apology letter
14:48for the state
14:48we left the country in.
14:49Maybe we can
14:50all write it together.
14:51Dear future Americans
14:53slash potential Chinese
14:55slash potential Russian citizens,
14:58we're sorry
15:00that we made mistakes.
15:02Yes.
15:03And I'm sorry
15:04that I have only
15:06attended
15:07two No Kings rallies
15:08so far.
15:09We used to have trees.
15:11Hopefully you still have them,
15:12but if you don't,
15:13we're sorry.
15:14That was on us.
15:14We're sorry
15:15for not understanding
15:16each other well.
15:17I'm sorry
15:17that my Zoloft
15:18prevents me
15:19from making active change.
15:21Honestly?
15:22Honestly?
15:22I just want to say
15:23good luck
15:25because y'all
15:25are going to need it.
15:26Things can get better.
15:27Things can get better.
15:29We're not responsible
15:29for any of those things.
15:31We may have made things worse,
15:32but...
15:32All right,
15:33so how should we sign this?
15:34Regretfully.
15:35Regretfully.
15:36Americans of 2026
15:39are bad.
15:43Thank you, Troy.
15:45When we come back,
15:46Marlon Mandel
15:46will be joining me
15:47on the show.
16:04Welcome back
16:04to The Daily Show.
16:05My guest tonight
16:07is a Tony-nominated actor
16:09who stars in,
16:10co-wrote,
16:11and co-created
16:11the Broadway musical
16:13Titanic.
16:14Please welcome
16:15Marlon Mandel.
16:36Oh, here we are.
16:38I am so happy you're here.
16:40Congratulations.
16:41Four Tony nominations.
16:43Thank you so much.
16:44Oh, my God.
16:46Including Best Actress.
16:47Yes.
16:48Best Book.
16:48Yes.
16:49Best Musical.
16:50Yes.
16:51Best Featured Actor,
16:53Leighton Williams.
16:53Who plays Iceberg Bitch.
16:55Iceberg Bitch.
16:56Yes.
16:57Period.
16:57Oh, my God.
16:58How are you feeling?
16:59Are you feeling cookie crazy?
17:01I'm feeling cookie crazy.
17:02As Celine Dion would say,
17:04cookie crazy, girlfriend.
17:05I am feeling cookie crazy.
17:07We were performing
17:08on the Today Show
17:09when I found out.
17:10So it was like,
17:11Oh, my God.
17:11You're nominated.
17:12Ten, nine, eight.
17:13Now sing.
17:14Yeah, it was incredible.
17:16So were you cry singing?
17:18No, no.
17:19I couldn't cry.
17:19No, I reacted like a zombie.
17:21Everyone was like,
17:21Congratulations.
17:22I was like,
17:22Thank you so much.
17:24Because I was like,
17:25If I cry, then I can't sing.
17:27I can't be Celine.
17:28You know what I mean?
17:28That is such a Celine Dion thing to do.
17:31The show must go on.
17:33No emotion.
17:34You must sing.
17:34Oh, yeah.
17:35Absolutely.
17:36The show is so funny,
17:38particularly right now
17:38in this moment in time.
17:39It's something we all need.
17:41It is just over the top.
17:42It is an over the top,
17:44fun, hilarious party.
17:46Only it takes place
17:47on a sinking ship.
17:48Totally.
17:48Totally.
17:49And somehow it's still joyful.
17:50It is still joyful.
17:51So we did our job.
17:52It is.
17:52It's top to bottom joyful.
17:53For those who haven't seen it,
17:55tell us what Titanic is.
17:57So Celine Dion believes
17:59that she was on the Titanic
18:00and she uses her eyes
18:02and her songs
18:03to narrate this story.
18:04So she's basically
18:05like a French-Canadian
18:06conspiracy theorist
18:07in our musical.
18:07Not in real life.
18:08She's the greatest singer
18:09in the world,
18:10but in our musical.
18:11She's like,
18:11I was on the ship, girlfriend.
18:12And they're like,
18:12Celine, you would be
18:13150 years old.
18:14And she's like,
18:15no, no, no, go with me.
18:15And the story begins there.
18:17And so it's just
18:18a love letter to her
18:19because I'm such
18:20a huge fan of her
18:21and obviously
18:22the movie Titanic.
18:23Yes.
18:24And so we combine the two
18:25not thinking that
18:26it would become
18:26this massive hit
18:27that it is now.
18:28It is so...
18:30I mean, listen,
18:30I'm a fan of
18:31Celine and Titanic.
18:32So this musical is like...
18:34You can just tap it
18:35right into my veins.
18:36Yeah, you can inject it
18:37in the veins.
18:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:38But how did all of this start?
18:40Did you...
18:40Because your Celine
18:42is incredible.
18:43First of all,
18:43how do you get into
18:44the body of Celine Dion?
18:46What is your process like?
18:47Well, I researched her on...
18:49Like, I say that
18:49I'm in a relationship
18:50with her on Instagram
18:51because she'd be
18:52the first thing
18:53that I would look at
18:53in the morning
18:54and the last thing
18:54before I went to bed
18:55and I'd be like,
18:56Celine, it's me, Celine.
18:57And I started to pick up.
18:58I started to pick up.
18:59Like, she has, like,
19:00such a specific language.
19:01She does, like,
19:01a lot with the fingers.
19:03She likes to conduct.
19:04She's always in disbelief.
19:05Oh, my God.
19:06It's good to see.
19:07She'll find the camera.
19:08Oh, hey, go find it.
19:09It's me, Celine Dion.
19:10Do you know what I mean?
19:10She does a little chest bump.
19:12Whoo!
19:13Okay.
19:14Okay.
19:14Here we go.
19:16Here we go.
19:18And now, unfortunately,
19:20it's a second language.
19:21I can get into it
19:22too quickly
19:22that it scares me.
19:25So is perfection.
19:26Did it start
19:27with the Celine impression?
19:28And then you thought,
19:29I have got to write
19:30a musical around this.
19:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:31It started with coming up
19:32with the idea for the show.
19:33It started drunk in a bar,
19:35LOL,
19:35where all great ideas happen.
19:36Yes.
19:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:39Thank you so much.
19:41I was doing dinner theater
19:43in Los Angeles.
19:43I had left Broadway.
19:45I'd done, like,
19:4510 years of Broadway shows.
19:46And then I was like,
19:47I want to be a writer.
19:47How hard can it be?
19:49And God was like,
19:50hee hee see a witch.
19:51It's going to be really hard.
19:52And I just,
19:52I lost everything in L.A.
19:54I lost all my money
19:55and I wound up working
19:56at dinner theater.
19:57And we were doing
19:58movie to musical parodies
19:59like True Beverly Hills
20:00and Devil Wears Prada.
20:02And Constantine Rassouli,
20:04the co-author of this,
20:05one of the co-authors,
20:05was like,
20:06what if we did a Titanic parody
20:07with Celine Dion
20:08and you'll be Celine?
20:09And I was like,
20:10absolutely not.
20:11Not because I,
20:12not because I,
20:13I just,
20:14I love her so much.
20:15Right.
20:15I was like,
20:16I'm going to ruin her.
20:16I'm going to ruin her.
20:18And I was too scared.
20:20So for two years,
20:21we just didn't,
20:22we sat on the idea.
20:23And then Ty Blue,
20:24the director one day,
20:25who also worked
20:25at the dinner theater,
20:27was like,
20:27we have to do this.
20:28And so we just started
20:29doing it for fun.
20:30And,
20:30and 10 years later,
20:31we went from LA
20:33to New York
20:34to the basement
20:34of a Gristides
20:35where we started the show.
20:36Old UCB.
20:37Yes.
20:38Which is now demolished.
20:39I guess we,
20:40yeah,
20:40I guess we ruined it.
20:41You,
20:42you quite literally
20:42brought down the house.
20:43We do,
20:44yeah,
20:44we did.
20:44We blew it up.
20:45You blew it up.
20:46We blew it up.
20:47And then we transferred
20:48to the Dale Roth
20:48off Broadway
20:49and we ran for three years,
20:50went all over the world.
20:51And finally,
20:5210 years later,
20:53we have landed on Broadway.
20:54So it really has been,
20:56thank you so much.
21:01Right,
21:01right where it belongs.
21:03Yes.
21:03You are phenomenal in it.
21:05The rest of the cast
21:05is phenomenal.
21:06The music is great.
21:08Tell us who else is in it.

21:13Best voice you've ever
21:14heard in your life.
21:15Jim Parsons,
21:15comedy icon.
21:16Melissa Barrera.
21:17Melissa is just incredible.
21:21Constantine Rassouli,
21:21who co-wrote it with me.
21:22Ty Blue directed it.
21:23I mean,
21:23it is just a cast
21:25of star-studded geniuses.
21:27Frankie Grande.

21:32John Riddle,
21:33the voice of an angel.
21:34I mean,
21:34it is just,
21:36I feel so blessed
21:38every single day
21:39that not only do I,
21:40have I written something,
21:41but it's with all
21:42of my best friends.
21:43Do you know what I mean?
21:44Like,
21:44coming to work
21:45is an absolute joy
21:47and I get to be,
21:48you know,
21:48the greatest singer
21:49in the world.
21:50In the world.
21:50Yeah.
21:52You use all of these
21:54modern pop culture references.
21:56You reference
21:57RuPaul's Drag Race.
21:58You were even weaving in
22:00some topical news stories.
22:01There were some
22:02Spirit Airlines jokes
22:03when I saw it
22:03over the weekend.
22:04And then you have,
22:05like,
22:05an entire improvised
22:07portion of the show.
22:09Yeah.
22:09How much of the show
22:10is improvised
22:11and how much
22:11do you sprinkle in
22:14to just keep it fresh?
22:15We have a whole section
22:16of the show
22:17that is, like,
22:17kind of fully improvised
22:19and that was because
22:19we were, like,
22:20again,
22:21drunk,
22:21LOL,
22:22and bad writers
22:22in Los Angeles
22:23and we couldn't figure out
22:24how to transition
22:25from scene to scene
22:26and Ty and Connie
22:27were like,
22:27Marla,
22:28why don't you just,
22:28like,
22:28I don't know,
22:29improv?
22:29And so I started doing that
22:31and then it became
22:31this thing
22:32where people would come back,
22:33like,
22:3410,
22:3412,
22:3515 times
22:35because there's
22:36a whole section
22:36that's completely different
22:38which is very different
22:39than a typical Broadway show.
22:40Yeah.
22:41We didn't know.
22:41Good marketing.
