01:13You're here. This is the show.
01:14It's the one to be at.
01:17Let's get to some news, everybody.
01:19Guys, tomorrow marks the end of the two-week ceasefire deadline
01:22set by President Trump, and no progress towards a peace deal
01:26with Iran has been made.
01:28Yeah, this is what happens when you spend two weeks
01:30clicking remind me tomorrow.
01:33You could tell time is running out, because today,
01:35Trump was like, check GPT, draft a peace deal.
01:39Very smart. No mistakes.
01:43Yep, with the deadline expiring tomorrow and no progress made,
01:47Trump just announced that he will once again
01:48extend the ceasefire with Iran.
01:51Yeah, it's the most unexpected move he's made
01:53since he did the same exact thing two weeks ago.
01:56Yeah. Critics are once again saying
01:59Trump always chickens out.
02:00But in his defense, today is Taco Tuesday.
02:06Well...
02:11Yeah, the big story is still Iran,
02:13and everyone's been monitoring the situation.
02:16With the Strait of Hormuz, it can be hard to keep up,
02:18but with the Strait closed, oil prices have been skyrocketing.
02:22And...
02:22After seven weeks of conflict,
02:24the Strait of Hormuz is officially open.
02:28Oh.
02:30That's amazing.
02:31That's big news.
02:34Anyway, as I was saying...
02:36We are now hearing the Strait of Hormuz is once again closed.
02:41Wow.
02:43That was...
02:43That was fast.
02:46Anyway, as I was saying...
02:48JK, the Strait is open again.
02:51JK.
02:53Okay, well, anyway, as I was saying...
02:55Power bad, bestie.
02:57It's closed again.
02:58What is going on over there?
03:00Anyway, as I was saying...
03:02The Strait is open, but the Hormuz is closed.
03:05What does that even mean?
03:08Anyway, as I was saying...
03:10The Strait is open from 12 to 3,
03:12then closes until 5 to set up for dinner.
03:15That doesn't make sense.
03:25Anyway, as I was saying...
03:27The Strait is still closed,
03:29but my relationship with Donna is now open.
03:32Who's Donna?
03:34Anyway, as I was saying...
03:35President Trump posted a picture of himself as Jesus
03:38walking across the Strait of Hormuz.
03:41That's enough.
03:42No more updates.
03:43No more updates.
03:44We're good.
03:44We're good.
03:45We don't need any more updates.
03:47Guys, I saw today that Trump said
03:49that he would have been more successful
03:50than previous presidents
03:51in conducting wars in Vietnam and Iraq.
03:55Everyone's like,
03:55how about you focus on being successful in this war?
03:59You guys see this?
04:00A new poll shows that Trump's approval rating
04:02has dropped the most among Gen Z.
04:05It's bad.
04:06Right now, he's polling between sus and DeLulu.
04:12Some more political news.
04:13Tonight, Trump did a live Bible reading
04:15from the Oval Office.
04:18Yeah, Trump took part in a public reading of the Bible.
04:21He was really into it, actually.
04:23Check out the video he put in.
04:52This is President Trump,
04:54the whole thing.
04:54What?
04:55The whole thing is a disaster.
04:57It's a thong song.
04:58What?
05:01Well, listen to this.
05:01I read that this week,
05:02dating app Grindr is hosting
05:04its first ever party
05:05for the White House Correspondents Dinner.
05:08Here to discuss this
05:09is White House staffer Barry Jones.
05:11Welcome to the show, Barry.
05:12Thanks for having me, Jimmy.
05:16So, what can you tell us about this party
05:18that Grindr is hosting at the White House?
05:20Not much, Jimmy.
05:21I've never heard of Grindr before in my life.
05:26Really?
05:27Stop interrogating me.
05:30I'm not, uh, it's just a pretty well-known app.
05:32That's all.
05:33Yeah, apparently it's for men
05:35to romantically connect with other men.
05:39You can see who's nearby,
05:40and you can meet up with them
05:42at a restaurant or bar
05:44or a White House bathroom, I guess.
05:47Yes, it's the first I'm hearing about it.
05:50It seems you're familiar enough with it.
05:53And it seems like you're accusing me.
05:56I'm not accusing you of anything, Barry.
05:58Good, because I'm a straight,
06:00non-curious White House staffer
06:03who does not use Grindr.
06:08I think your phone is going off.
06:11Sorry about that.
06:12I forgot to silence it.
06:13And no, that was not the Grindr
06:15new message notification sound.
06:18I didn't say it was.
06:20Barry, can we start over?
06:21I think we got off on the wrong foot.
06:24Fine.
06:26Hi.
06:29Hi.
06:32How are you?
06:35Good.
06:37Good.
06:39You want to meet in the White House bathroom?
06:41No, Barry, no, I don't.
06:43We have to move on.
06:44White House staffer Barry Jones, everyone.
06:46I do not use Grindr.
06:49Now, turn his mic off.
06:51Oh.
06:58Do you guys see this?
06:59Red Lobster is bringing back
07:00their endless shrimp promotion
07:01for the first time since it helped...
07:05Just this side of the audience.
07:07That's weird.
07:09We hate shrimp.
07:10Yeah, like, that's...
07:11We divide our audience into shrimp lovers
07:13and shrimp haters.
07:16Red Lobster is bringing back
07:17their endless shrimp promotion...
07:19Don't clap.
07:20For the...
07:21For the first time since it helped
07:23drive them towards bankruptcy.
07:27Now you're happy you clap?
07:31So you're bringing it back.
07:33Isn't that wild?
07:34They actually released a new commercial about it.
07:35Check it out.
07:36Endless shrimp is ban...
07:37And we're bankrupt.
07:39Damn it.
07:39Red Lobster.
07:40Oops, we did it again.
07:42Oops.
07:45Hey, get this.
07:45A Carnival Cruise passenger just won
07:47a $300,000 lawsuit for claiming
07:49that the shift's staff served her
07:5114 tequila shots in the span of eight hours.
07:55Carnival was like,
07:56how else are we going to kill the Norovirons?
07:59And finally, I heard about a man in California
08:01who was arrested after he allegedly purchased
08:03Lego sets from Target
08:05and then returned the boxes with pasta inside.
08:10Meanwhile, someone eating a bowl of Legos
08:12at Olive Garden was like,
08:12hey, this tastes better than usual.
08:14Well, we have a great show.
08:15Give it up for The Roots, everybody.
08:29Well, hey, guys, we got some good news today.
08:31We won six Webby awards.
08:33Whoa, six!
08:38Six Webby's.
08:39That's the most we've ever won.
08:41Wow.
08:41Since we've been doing this, how cool is that?
08:43I want to thank everyone at the Webby's.
08:45I want to thank everyone who voted for us,
08:47everyone who worked so hard here at the show,
08:49and, of course, I want to thank our amazing digital team.
08:52This is a real honor.
08:53Six Webby.
08:55Yes!
08:56Wow.
08:56That's awesome.
08:59It's a real honor.
09:01Speaking of real honor, this is true.
09:03This just happened.
09:05What?
09:05I'm on the cover of this month's Mad Magazine.
09:08Whoa!
09:17Is that unbelievable?
09:19That's fantastic.
09:20It's a special late-night issue.
09:23There's all the hosts here.
09:24If you can see all the hosts in there,
09:25there's Letterman sleeping in the sleeping bag.
09:29And Alfred E. Newman's there,
09:30and Kimmel, and Seth, and everybody.
09:33If you're a comedian,
09:34this is like being on the cover of Rolling Stone.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Or the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue,
09:40which I'm still holding out for.
09:42Yeah, still.
09:43But I used to read this all the time as a kid,
09:45and you learn so much about comedy and humor and writing.
09:48It's always been so funny,
09:49and now to be in it and to be on the cover
09:52with Alfred E. Newman is just so cool.
09:54It's out now, so go pick it up
09:57at your local comic book store.
09:59I love Mad Magazine.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I mean, I still have my old ones
10:04from when I was in high school.
10:05I mean, I still collected them.
10:07I saved them.
10:08It's an honor.
10:09And they have the folding.
10:10The folding still?
10:11Yeah.
10:12It's everything.
10:12They got all the jokes.
10:13I'm so excited.
10:13Come on.
10:14Come on.
10:14Give them time.
10:15Yeah, man.
10:19What an honor.
10:21Guys, have you ever seen a photo in the news
10:23and think that headline could be better?
10:25It's time for a bit called News and Improve.
10:27Here we go.
10:35Do you ever have that happen to you, Higgins?
10:37Yeah, always.
10:38I'm sitting there.
10:39I'm reading the paper.
10:39I look at a picture.
10:40I go, nah, that could be better.
10:42You think the headline?
10:44Yeah, the headline could be better.
10:45and what do you have, a digital copy, I'm assuming?
10:47Yeah, no.
10:48My eyes aren't so good because I'm older.
10:50I get a giant print version.
10:51Oh, yeah.
10:52I know that printer company.
10:53Yeah, yeah.
10:53They keep them in business.
10:54They print out newspapers for you.
10:56Every morning.
10:56In giant print.
10:57Yeah.
10:57So that you can enjoy reading the headlines of today.
11:01But every time I look at them, I go, eh, could be better.
11:05Just by judging the photo?
11:06Is that what you're saying?
11:07I look at the photo.
11:08Of course.
11:08And then I look at the print beneath it.
11:10And I go.
11:11Or above it.
11:11Or above it.
11:12Above it, not so much.
11:13Oh, okay.
11:14You know, the eyes.
11:15Yeah, your eyes.
11:15So I go below and I'll go, mm, not so good.
11:19Then I'll think of a humorous, I'll go,
11:20I wish I could think a humorous way to make this headline better,
11:25but there's no, what can I do?
11:27Let me show you something that we're working on.
11:30What?

11:35Okay, let me take a gander.
11:37Oh, I don't like that.
11:38I don't care for that.
11:38The headline originally was,
11:38French minister discusses conflict solutions.
11:41The headline could definitely be improved.
11:43Like what?
11:44Well, if you only looked at the photo,
11:45the headline could have been,
11:46Uh-oh, date using air quotes to describe science.
11:49This is one of my ics.
11:52This is one of my ics.
11:55Look at this next headline was,
11:56Scottish leaders speak ahead of election.
11:59Okay.
11:59That's the headline?
12:00That could be better.
12:01How about this one?
12:02Man unsure how his reflection has glass.
12:09Is that possible?
12:10That's vampire glass.
12:11That's unbelievable.
12:13This next headline was,
12:14Italian prime minister Maloney prepares for debate.
12:18Headline could have been,
12:19man sneezes directly into co-worker's ear on accident.
12:22He didn't notice he was there.
12:26Up next, this headline says,
12:28India host president of South Korea.
12:30The headline could have been,
12:31that feeling when you and bae agreed to go habsies
12:33on the marijuana plant.

15:22That's the name of my housekeeper.
15:25Oh my God.
15:26She stole my watch that I was wearing.
15:28She keeps screaming at Coachella.
15:30Oh my God.
15:31You never get hoarse.
15:32You kind of feel sexy.
15:33I'm kind of like,
15:34oh, it's a little bit like Dua Lipa.
15:35Yeah.
15:36Yeah, I do like it.
15:37My Dua Lipas might fall out of the stress too,
15:39by the way.
15:40I want to say congratulations
15:42on a lot of things
15:43because we always love it
15:44when you come here.
15:45But since the last time
15:45you've been on this show,
15:47your stand-up tour,
15:48the Alive and Unwell tour,
15:49was one of the top 10
15:51highest grossing comedy tours

15:54Oh my God, thank you.
15:54Nicky Glazer.
15:56Yeah.

16:09Yes.
16:09You were fantastic on there,
16:10by the way.
16:11It was so fun.
16:12Best week of my life.
16:13You also hosted
16:14the Golden Globes
16:15for the second time
16:16and it was announced
16:16that you're host again
16:17for a third time.
16:18Go, Nicky Glazer.
16:22That's what I'm talking about.
16:24Thanks.
16:24You are great
16:26at that job.
16:28You've done it.
16:28I mean, it's so hard.
16:31It's a tough job.
16:31Yeah, you nailed it.
16:33It's, you know,
16:34so much of it,
16:35I have to say,
16:36depends on the crowd,
16:38like the celebrities
16:39being able to laugh
16:39at themselves.
16:40And I work really hard
16:41to make sure the jokes
16:42are good
16:43and the audience at home
16:44likes how far I'm going
16:46but that I don't go too far.
16:47I don't ruin anyone's night.
16:48But there's some jokes
16:49that you just don't know
16:49until you tell them
16:51how they're going to land.
16:52So after I do it,
16:53I always send flowers
16:54to everyone that I made fun of
16:56that was a good sport about it,
16:57which was everyone,
16:58just to say thank you
16:59because it is a part
17:00of why I'm successful at it.
17:01And the only person
17:03who sent something back to me,
17:04I did a joke about
17:05Leonardo DiCaprio,
17:06which I was really struggling with
17:08because I was like,
17:09I just don't want to make the joke
17:10about how he has young girlfriends.
17:11It's been done so many times.
17:13I mean, it's been,
17:13that joke's been going on longer
17:14than, you know,
17:15his current girlfriend's been alive.
17:17Yeah.
17:18It's truly been around forever.
17:20And I'm like,
17:21I don't want to do it.
17:22But then it was like,
17:22there was nothing else
17:23to say about him.
17:24And then I was like,
17:25well, that's kind of funny.
17:26So I was like,
17:27let's try to find,
17:28like,
17:29this guy doesn't reveal
17:30anything about himself.
17:30Let's find something he's revealed.
17:32And so me and my writing team
17:33found a Teen Beat article
17:35from 1991
17:35where he revealed that,
17:37I was like,
17:37Leo,
17:38we don't know anything about you.
17:39You know,
17:39the only thing we know about you
17:40is from a Teen Beat article
17:41in 1991
17:41where you told us
17:42your favorite food
17:43is pasta, pasta,
17:44and more pasta.
17:45And it really was real.
17:47And then he sent me
17:49three baskets of pasta
17:51as a thank you.
17:52He sent me pasta, pasta.
17:53So funny.
17:54That's a good dude.
17:55So good.
17:56That's funny.
17:56And part of me was,
17:58part of me was like,
17:59does Leo want to smash?
18:01Like, I was like,
18:01all right.
18:02Backstage,
18:03you were telling me
18:03that you have an obsession
18:04with the new food.
18:06I can't stop eating Uncrustables.
18:09It's my favorite food.
18:11Has anyone let this food
18:12into their heart
18:12in a real way?
18:14Have you tried them yet?
18:16No.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:18Because I always, like,
18:18looked at them like,
18:19that would be good.
18:20But then I started eating them.
18:21I have, like, four a day.
18:22They, I started on them
18:24because I was babysitting
18:24my nephew and he went to sleep
18:26and I took an edible.
18:27And so I got into them.
18:28And I realized, like,
18:29they're marketing for little kids,
18:32but they're really for high adults
18:33is what they're for.
18:35And they are so good.
18:37They, um,
18:38and I buy them in bulk
18:39because I eat, like,
18:40four to six a day.
18:41And so it is awkward,
18:42like, going to Target
18:43with all the,
18:44and there's always
18:44the conversation of, like,
18:45oh, got a lot of kids at home?
18:47And I'm like,
18:47no, I'm a pedophile.
18:48You know, this is my bait.
18:50I don't know what to say.
18:51It's just an awkward conversation.
18:53But they are so,
18:54to me, you have to try them.
18:55They're so good.
18:56The bread is, like,
18:58so soft.
18:58And it's, like,
18:59it is funny
19:00because they're, like,
19:00it's an easy
19:01peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
19:02It's like, oh, yeah,
19:03like, because, you know,
19:04sometimes you just
19:05don't like to cook.
19:05And it's, like,
19:06it's because
19:07it's the easiest food
19:08made even easier.
19:10It's, like,
19:10a bidet that, like,
19:11poops for you.
19:12Like, it's, like,
19:13it doesn't need to be easier
19:14than peanut butter and jelly,
19:15but they cut off the crust.
19:16The bread is so soft.
19:18It's, like,
19:18temper foam material,
19:19I think.
19:20It's, it's,
19:21it really is the consistency.
19:23I feel like,
19:24like, when you ever see,
19:25like, a baby's chunky arm
19:26and you're, like,
19:26I just want to bite it.
19:27Yes.
19:28And you're, like,
19:29you can now.
19:30It's so good.
19:31I have them on me
19:32all the time.
19:33I, even tonight,
19:35I have them right now.
19:36I, um...
19:39I wear them as shapewear now.
19:41They literally work.
19:43Look how deflated I am now.
19:45Now it's all gone.
19:46Wow.
19:46This one's for you.
19:47Thank you so much.
19:48This is the way you should have it.
19:50Mushed and warm.
19:53I am honored.
19:55I am honored.
19:57Thank you so much.
19:58Literally try one.
19:59I want you to get in on that.
20:02It's very warm.
20:03Isn't it?
20:04Yeah.
20:06It's very warm.
20:08These are the strawberries.
20:09Yeah, they're almost,
20:10they're almost toasted.
20:13How did you do that?
20:14Wow.
20:15Um...
20:15If you want grape,
20:16I have those in my bag.
20:17I know, I know, I know, I know.
20:18But I need that batting.
20:19I'm pumped for it.
20:19That's my PBL.
20:20I'm pumped.
20:21I want to talk about...
20:22Here, I have a nap.
20:24That's what I did.
20:24I want to talk about
20:25your very funny new stand-up special.
20:26Yeah.
20:27Nikki Glaser, Good Girl.
20:28Good Girl.
20:29Yeah.
20:29It's on Hulu.
20:30Yep.
20:31Premieres this Friday on Hulu.
20:32Yes, it does.
20:33It's like my most personal thoughts.
20:35It's, um, it's really out there.
20:37I almost don't want people to see it
20:38because it's so vulnerable.
20:40So if that...
20:40But I think you should
20:41because I worked really hard on it.
20:43It's really funny.
20:44That's how we got to know you.
20:44It's gorgeous.
20:45It's really well done.
20:46You're a great stand-up meeting.
20:46Thank you so much.
20:47That's how we got to know you.
20:48You're amazing.
20:49Good Girl.
20:49Yeah, thank you, Jen.
20:50Good Girl.
20:51On Hulu, I want to show a clip.
20:53Here's Nikki Glaser in Good Girl.
20:55Take a look.
20:55I'm going to get a facelift
20:57in a couple years
20:59and thank you for cheering that on.
21:00Most people are like,
21:01don't, don't do it.
21:04I don't know whether to be insulted
21:05by you cheering it on or not,
21:07but I appreciate that.
21:08What I don't want when I get a facelift
21:10is anyone being like,
21:11that's so sad she did that.
21:13Why did she do that?
21:14And the answer is,
21:15it's because it's going to lead
21:16to a better life for me.
21:17I'm on TV a lot.
21:18I'm going to look amazing.
21:19I'm going to get better roles.
21:20I'm going to get paid more
21:21for those roles.
21:22I'm going to get fire emojis
21:23from Kristen Cavallari.
21:25Like, it's...
21:27Do you know how good it feels
21:29to have Bo and Yang write diva
21:31with 19 A's underneath
21:32the picture of you?
21:34Looks like he just fell asleep
21:36on the keyboard
21:36because I was so slay.

22:34Hey, welcome back.
22:35Hi.
22:35I love having you here.
22:37Love being here.
22:37Last time we talked
22:39on the show
22:39you were excited about
22:40you were having
22:41a joint birthday party.
22:42Oh, gosh.
22:43Yeah, I turned 50 this year.
22:44Yeah, happy birthday.
22:45Yeah, let's applaud.
22:46Let's applaud for that.
22:47He made it.
22:48He made it that far.
22:49My husband is 10 years younger
22:51and turned 40
22:52and we did a big 30-40 birthday
22:54you know, 10 years ago
22:56and it was like a rager.
22:57Yeah.
22:58And so this year
22:59we had a party.
23:00We have two kids now
23:01and our party started
23:02at 3 p.m.
23:05That's right.
23:05And it ended at like 7.
23:06That sounds like...
23:07And people were kind of
23:07making fun of us
23:08for doing that
23:09but I was like...
23:10But at the end
23:10they're like,
23:11this was amazing.
23:13But we didn't have
23:13any kids at the party
23:15except for our kids
23:16and at one point
23:18my younger son,
23:19Sullivan,
23:20sort of fell off
23:21this stool
23:22and the closest person
23:23next to him,
23:24I wasn't near him.
23:25It's fine.
23:26There was lots of people
23:26near him.
23:27But the closest person
23:28next to him
23:29was Joshua Jackson
23:30and so Joshua Jackson
23:32picks him up
23:33and sort of coddles him
23:34and then my son
23:35pees on him.
23:38There was that
23:39so I was like,
23:39I'm so sorry
23:40and he was like,
23:40well I definitely feel like
23:41I've been initiated
23:42into your family
23:42but then I was like
23:43noticing like women
23:44and gay men
23:45like,
23:45I'm falling too.
23:48Joshua Jackson.
23:49Oh, oh my.
23:50Joshua.
23:51The vapors,
23:52the vapors.
23:53Exactly.
23:54I was like,
23:54all right,
23:54everyone needs to calm down.
23:56Yeah.
23:56I saw that you recently
23:57took your kids
23:57to go see Spelling Bee.
23:59I did, yeah.
24:00That's how I think
24:00the first time I saw you
24:01in that play,
24:02you originated.
24:03Yeah, 20 years ago.
24:04Yeah, so there's a revival now
24:05and I was like,
24:07well this would be cool
24:07to take my kids
24:08to the show
24:08that I originated
24:0920 years ago
24:10in New York
24:11and I wanted to make
24:12a special night out
24:13for them
24:13and I wanted to take them
24:14to a nice dinner
24:15but then I realized
24:16that's just for me
24:17so I took them
24:18to McDonald's
24:19on 51st and 8th
24:21and they were stoked.
24:22Yeah.
24:23Yeah.
24:23But like such a rookie mistake
24:25for me
24:26because like Mitchell
24:26from Modern Family
24:27walks into like
24:28the most touristy
24:29Modern Family
24:30of Matt McDonald's ever.
24:32Everyone's pointing.
24:32Everyone's pointing.
24:33I'm like signing autographs,
24:35you know,
24:35I'm just trying
24:35to get Happy Meals
24:36and the guy next to us,
24:39he actually recognizes me
24:40from Spelling Bee
24:41and so he tells my kids,
24:43he's like,
24:43you know,
24:43your dad,
24:45your papa
24:45like was one
24:46of the originators
24:47of the first production
24:48of Spelling Bee
24:48so my kids,
24:50you know,
24:51took that information
24:52into the theater
24:52with them
24:53and they were telling
24:53all the people around us
24:54that I created the show.
24:58My papa created this,
25:00you know,
25:00just to say,
25:01there was a laugh,
25:02like my papa wrote that.
25:03Aw.
25:03It was very sweet,
25:04yeah.
25:05Let's talk about this play.
25:07This is a,
25:07True is the name
25:09of the play
25:09and where is it at again?
25:11It's at this,
25:12it's on the Upper East Side
25:13on 95th and Park Avenue.
25:14It's an old
25:16turn of the century
25:17Gilded Age mansion
25:18and I perform it
25:19in the library there.

25:21and I play Truman Capote.
25:23You walk in
25:23and it's my living room.
25:25It's Truman Capote's living room
25:25so I interact
25:26with the audience
25:28and it's really
25:29very special
25:30and very cool.
25:30This is where y'all go,
25:31ooh.

25:34Oh.
25:35Oh.
25:37Ooh.
25:38See how close
25:39these audiences,
25:39although I love,
25:40it's this,
25:41this guy
25:42when we shot these photos,
25:43this guy is falling asleep
25:45in like all the pictures.
25:46No, no.
25:48Does that bum you out?
25:49I mean, do you get to see,
25:50normally on theater,
25:51on stage you see.
25:52You don't see anyone.
25:53Yeah, they're having
25:54their own experience
25:54in the dark,
25:55but here I see everything.
25:56Like if you check your watch,
25:57I see it.
25:58There was a woman,
25:59there was a woman
26:00who spilled her drink
26:01the other day
26:02and she was like
26:02mopping it up
26:03and she was pulling focus.
26:05You know,
26:05it's my show.
26:06Hello.
26:06And everyone was like
26:06watching this woman
26:08like mop up her wine
26:09and as Truman Capote
26:10I had to go over
26:11and be like,
26:11I have housekeeping
26:13coming in later.
26:14Don't worry about it.
26:16There's so much liquor
26:17on this rug.
26:18Don't worry.
26:19Oh my gosh.
26:20It's like stop her from,
26:21but like as the character,
26:23yeah.
26:23And you dive right in
26:25and become Truman Capote.
26:26That's a great impression.
26:27I mean,
26:27I watched a lot of,
26:28a lot of videos of him
26:30and I do have
26:31like little exercises.
26:32You know,
26:33I do Shakespeare
26:33as Truman Capote sometimes
26:35just because,
26:36you know,
26:37that's the type of guy I am.
26:39Fun for you, yeah.
26:40Yeah.
26:40So yeah,
26:41it's fun.
26:41And as you're doing
26:42Truman Capote,

26:44of Truman Capote
26:45popping up in your life
26:46like randomly?
26:47You know,
26:47it's,
26:48I'm trying to get away from him
26:49because he's like,
26:50he's everywhere right now
26:51and I'm like,
26:52I'm just,
26:52I'm kind of tired of him
26:53to be honest.
26:54I love him,
26:55but I'm also like,
26:56ah,
26:56I've had a long day
26:57of Truman Capote.
26:58So I went home the other day
26:58and I turned on

27:00and a drag queen,
27:01a drag queen was doing
27:02Truman Capote.

27:06Truman Capote,

30:05Not mime school
30:05Wow
30:05I did do that
30:06Kind of
30:07Yeah
30:08Well, I didn't do
30:08mime school
30:09But I did drama school
30:10You actually did
30:11Well, you went to Juilliard
30:12I did
30:13Come on
30:14Not too shabby
30:14Come on, bud
30:16Come on
30:17Not too shabby
30:19What's that like?
30:20Juilliard
30:20Juilliard's so intense
30:22It's so crazy
30:23It sounds like a dream
30:24It's bizarre
30:25It's bizarre, yeah
30:26What do they make you do?
30:27Because that is
30:27a full-on acting school
30:29Oh, you do so
30:30So many different things
30:31I mean, I feel like
30:32Everyone knows about
30:33You know
30:34You do your mask class
30:36Mask?
30:37Mask work
30:38Masks, yes
30:39Okay
30:39Wearing them?
30:40You're wearing them
30:41Yes
30:41Wearing them
30:42Embodying them
30:43You have to sort of
30:43Look at them
30:44And learn who it is
30:46They tell you
30:47The mask tells you
30:48It teaches you
30:49Who it is
30:50Then you wear it
30:51And then you are the mask
30:52And then there's, of course
30:53The animal work
30:54But we also
30:55We would put our characters
30:57In a ring of fire
31:02And watch the character
31:03That we just played
31:05Burn
31:07To say goodbye, of course
31:09Wow
31:09To let go of that
31:11Wow, that's intense
31:12Yeah, you imagine it, of course
31:13It's not in real life
31:14It's all in your mind
31:18This is more mime school stuff
31:20You're just like
31:22Putting out the fire
31:23With an extinguisher
31:24Good work, Elle
31:25You did great
31:26Yeah, yeah, yeah
31:26That's why
31:27But you must learn
31:28So many things there
31:29That you put on your resume
31:30You're like
31:31Dude, I can burn my character
31:32Yeah
31:33I mean, I can walk on stilts
31:35They do stilt work?
31:37Yeah, because apparently
31:37If you can't walk on stilts
31:38You're not a real actor
31:40That's just the truth
31:44You're making it happen
31:45These schools did well
31:47They taught you well
31:48Yeah, they taught me well
31:49Let's talk about the comeback
31:50Because, gosh, it's funny
31:51And you star alongside
31:52Lisa Kudrow
31:53Who's just hilarious
31:54She's the greatest
31:55She really is, right?
31:56She's the greatest
31:57She's like
31:58You know, she's the real deal
31:59I love her
32:00You filmed on the Warner Brothers lot
32:02And here are you
32:02Sitting in front of
32:03The Friends fountain
32:05Come on
32:07Do you get nervous when you go on
32:11Because they've been doing the show for
32:12When did they start Comeback?
32:14It was probably
32:142005
32:1620 years ago
32:17Yeah, and so
32:17But you're the newcomer
32:19Really walking into this family
32:21Who have known each other for so long
32:23And have such history
32:24And that's really intimidating
32:25And really scary
32:26And all I wanted was to just
32:28You know, sort of seamlessly integrate
32:30Into this beautiful world
32:33That they've built
32:33I came on as a fan of the show
32:35Like I started work
32:36And I was like
32:37Oh my God
32:37I'm talking to Valerie Cherish right now
32:39This is the craziest thing in the world
32:40Because also
32:41Lisa will start just doing improv
32:43To just get into it
32:44And that's a scary thing
32:46Yeah
32:46But it was so fun
32:48And so amazing
32:49And everyone
32:49They're like my family now
32:50I love them
32:51Yeah, you work so well together
32:51I love them, love them, love them
32:53What do we say about
32:53What's going on in season three?
32:55Well, season three
32:56So we're sort of
32:57In the midst of it right now
32:58And Valerie has signed on
33:00To do the first ever
33:02AI written sitcom
33:04Ooh
33:05Yes
33:05And I play her social media manager
33:08Patience
33:09Patience, yeah
33:10Great name
33:10Patience, yes
33:12Patience may be a hypochondriac
33:14At times
33:15Maybe
33:15But she always shows up to work
33:17Always
33:18Kind of, yeah
33:19She does show up, yeah
33:20It's very, very good
33:21Very funny
33:22I want to show everyone a clip
33:23Here's Ella Stiller
33:24In the comeback
33:25Take a look
33:27Patience is anyone
33:28Anyone standing up for me
33:30It's a lot of TV writers
33:31On social media
33:32That each only have
33:33Like 12 followers
33:34Okay
33:34Yeah, but it's catching fire
33:36Everybody's picking this up
33:38There's a nobody in TV
33:39Okay
33:40Is Nunet saying anything
33:42Or Comp Spot
33:43Or any of them?
33:44I've seen nothing
33:44You know what, Billy?
33:45Call your guy at Nunet
33:47The one you're sleeping with
33:48I'm not calling him
33:49He screamed at me
33:50At the GLAAD Awards
33:51Okay, well, God forbid
33:52You should be embarrassed
33:53When the entire world
33:54Is tearing me apart
33:56No, it's just Hollywood
33:57Oh, just Hollywood
33:58Okay, yeah
33:59That's good
34:00Just where I live
34:02And work
34:02It's an end-of-day dump
34:04Which is good
34:04By this time tomorrow
34:05The story will be dead
34:06Okay, yeah
34:07It'll be dead

34:21Come on back
34:37Our next guest
34:38Has her comedy special
34:39Isabel Hagan
34:40At the Bitter End
34:41Available on YouTube
34:43Please welcome
34:44The very funny
34:44Isabel Hagan
34:54Thank you so much
34:55Thank you
34:56It's great to be here
34:57I was walking
34:58On the street earlier
34:59And I heard a guy go
35:00Hey, beautiful
35:01And I didn't look at him
35:03Not because I felt harassed
35:05But I thought
35:05There's a chance
35:06He's not talking to me
35:09And I didn't want to risk it
35:10And be like
35:11Who, me?
35:12He's like
35:12Oh, no
35:15And then I just
35:16Have to be like
35:17Oh, sorry
35:24I just thought
35:25Like
35:28Turns out
35:29He's just doing
35:29His daily affirmations
35:30And he's like
35:30Hey, beautiful
35:34You got this
35:36It's fun
35:37If you're insecure enough
35:38You kind of
35:39Can't get harassed
35:40Right
35:41Like I was walking
35:42Behind a guy
35:43And he was walking
35:43A dog on a leash
35:44And the dog
35:45Kept looking back at me
35:46And the guy
35:48Was very smooth
35:49He said to the dog
35:50Audibly
35:51He's like
35:51Why do you keep
35:52Looking at her, huh?
35:55Just because she's
35:55Cute and blonde
35:58And instead of thinking
35:59Like, oh
36:00That's a clever way
36:00To hit on a woman
36:01I just thought
36:02Nah, that dog's
36:02Not attracted to me
36:03Probably
36:08But I'm married
36:09I am
36:10I'm married
36:10Yeah
36:14I love my husband
36:16He loves to camp
36:18And I think camping
36:19Is stupid
36:21It's so dumb
36:22Because you go outside
36:24And then you do
36:26All this work
36:27And you bring all this
36:28Crap with you
36:29To make it feel like
36:31You're still
36:31Kind of inside
36:34You could just stay home
36:36And let a couple
36:37Squirrels in
36:39Right?
36:41But I get it
36:42You gotta go camping
36:43You have to have
36:43All the different
36:44Experiences in life
36:45Just to know
36:46That you didn't have
36:47To have
36:48Any of them
36:51That's the only way
36:52To know
36:52You gotta just
36:53Do it
36:54And regret
36:56Like, I didn't have
36:57To go apple picking
36:58But I needed to
36:59To know
37:00That I shouldn't have
37:03I had to have
37:04The experience
37:05Of like
37:14Is it just like
37:15All of them
37:16Or what are we
37:16Doing here?
37:20You gotta go
37:21Through it
37:22Because you don't
37:22Want to wonder
37:23What if
37:23What if I went
37:24Apple picking
37:25Right?
37:26Because wondering
37:26Is the fear
37:27Of regret
37:29Regret
37:29Is just knowledge
37:31So I think
37:32Do as much
37:33And regret
37:33As much as you can
37:34That's why
37:34I got married
37:35I'll regret it later
37:36You know
37:44But then I'll know
37:46You know
37:46I won't be up at night
37:47Like oh
37:47Is he the one
37:48That got away?
37:49Nah
37:49He should have
37:50Gotten away
37:53But I'm out
37:53Late a lot
37:54Doing comedy
37:55And I was getting
37:56Food after a show
37:56Recently
37:57And the guy
37:58Was giving me
37:58My change
37:59And he pulled
38:00The quarter
38:01From out of my ear
38:04I didn't like that
38:06He did a
38:07Non-consensual
38:08Magic trick
38:11You gotta ask first
38:13Do you want
38:13To see a magic trick
38:15Otherwise
38:16It's just
38:17Deceit
38:19And the thing is
38:20All deceit
38:21In life
38:22Is actually fine
38:23If you just
38:24Start it with
38:25Do you want
38:26To see a magic trick
38:28All deceit
38:29If my narcissistic
38:30Ex-boyfriend
38:31Had just begun
38:32The relationship
38:34Hey
38:35You wanna see
38:36A magic trick
38:38I love you
38:44And five years later
38:45He breaks up
38:46He's like
38:46Ta-da
38:46I'm like
38:47Whoa
38:49How'd you do that?
38:56But I'm in a healthy
38:57Marriage now
38:57It's good
38:58I'm trying to eat
38:58Healthier too
38:59I'm thinking of
39:00Giving up meat
39:01My friend
39:02She's not a full
39:02Vegetarian
39:03But she doesn't
39:04Eat smart animals
39:06That's where she
39:07Draws the line
39:08Morally
39:08No pigs
39:09No octopus
39:10Apparently they're
39:10Very intelligent
39:11She doesn't think
39:12They should be eaten
39:14Kind of a mean way
39:15To decide
39:16Who gets to live
39:19I'm walking by
39:20A pig or an octopus
39:21I'm just like
39:21Yes, hello
39:23Carry on
39:25Very smart
39:26Oh, I read that too
39:28I walk by a chicken
39:34I'm like
39:34You stupid chicken
39:35I'm gonna eat you
39:37You're so dumb
39:42The chicken's just
39:43Looking at me
39:43And I'm like
39:45Nah, that chicken's
39:46Not attracted to me
39:46Probably
