00:01I love you. I'm going to take Kevin's back and replace my colonel's. That wasn't part of the bit. Thank
00:09you, Mr. Rock Johnson, and thank you to the Rock's assistant, who, uh, I don't know about your odds of
00:18keeping your job after that eff up, but we'll see how that goes.
00:23Um, all I can say, hi, everybody, first of all. Hi! In all seriousness, I may be the first woman
00:32to receive this award, but I am, I am certainly, thanks, I am certainly, certainly not the first one to
00:42deserve it.
00:42I am, I don't know, I think I'm a walking human patchwork of all the remarkable, funny women who I
00:51have loved and studied over the years.
00:54And I am only here because Carol Burnett, Jane Curtin, Phyllis Diller, Whoopi Goldberg, Terry Garr, Madeline Kahn, Lucille Ball,
01:05Gilda Radner, Julie Louis-Dreyfus, Diane Keaton, Tracy Ullman, Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and my mom, Sandy Lynn McCarthy, taught
01:15me not to fear being the butt of a joke,
01:18or, uh, taught me not to worry about being likable or perfect, and to lovingly go for the kill.
01:30And I just want to thank MTV for this incredible award. It means so much to me, and I want
01:37to thank every single person who buys a ticket for one of my movies or watches my show, because
01:45it is, it is, you are absolutely the single reason I get to keep doing what I love so much,
01:52and I, in all honesty, I really can't ever thank you enough for that, so
01:56thank you, and, uh, just one more thing, just a little PS, who knew Bruce Springsteen could get even cooler?
02:06How about that?
