00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media. Well, this show is interesting. Hello, I'm

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Shane Gillis says

3
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>he was asked to come back to SNL for a

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>year to play Trump. Shane was at Skankfest, the comedy

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>festival in Las Vegas. We'll talk about that in a second.

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Lewis J. Gomez said of Shane, nobody thought he was

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>coming to the festival this year. Shane said, explain why?

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Gomez asked, can I explain why Gillis gave him the

9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead? Gomez says, because he was offered to play

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump on the entire season of SNL and he turned

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>it down to effing b Here Shane confirmed the story

12
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>and said, they said, are you serious? You're gonna say no?

13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And I said, Lorne, I gotta go to Coke Magic.

14
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Coke Magic is a show where Gomez performs magic tricks. Now,

15
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>this is all interesting because remember that Hollywood reporter piece

16
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I was picking away at that suggested that James Austin

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Johnson wouldn't be doing Trump on the show. But wait,

18
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>there's more. Late Nighters said during rehearsal of the Nate

19
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Berghansey episode, there was a version of the opening sketch

20
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>where Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris was home watching the debate.

21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>In the dress rehearsal version, James Austin Johnson's Trump was

22
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>also watching the debate. The Trump character said, this guy's

23
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>doing great, before it was revealed that he's not watching

24
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 1>the debate. He's actually watching American Ninja Warrior. So really interesting, right,

25
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Shane Gillis goes from hey, you're on SNL,

26
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Sorry you can't be on ESNL to now they're asking

27
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>him to come back for a year. I mean, his

28
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Trump is really good, probably is better than James Austin

29
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Johnson's right now. But wow, now, new topic interesting to

30
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>me about skank Fest is again. I'll remind you I

31
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>host this podcast every day and as part of the

32
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>prep I go to several websites and I also type

33
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in words like comedy and comedian. Nothing about skank Fest

34
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>came up at all this year. I would have mentioned it.

35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>It didn't come up at all. I came up like

36
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>six months ago when they announced it, and that's the

37
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 1>last time I saw it came and went. I would

38
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>have told you who was playing. I would have said

39
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>something about it even stranger as I put together the

40
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 1>show on Tuesday. If you type skank Fest into Google

41
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and then click on the news tab, as one might

42
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>do when preparing their comedy podcast, here's what comes up.

43
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>The deadline story about Shane. I just told you the

44
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>local patch telling us about the official skank Fest after

45
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>party at Peppermint Hippo. That story from two weeks ago.

46
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 1>David Tail spoke to the Las Vegas Review Journal. They

47
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>were curious what a sober fellow like Dayton Fettel does

48
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>late nights in Vegas these days. Dave said, it's a blur,

49
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>but the beauty of Vegas is you're always a block

50
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 1>away from a T shirt shop. You know me, I

51
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>like a good saucy T shirt. And I really like

52
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Vegas because we're on the same time frame. You can

53
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>get breakfast at two in the morning. Even though I

54
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>don't party, it's perfect for me. And the fear is

55
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 1>right there as well. I haven't been there, but I've

56
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>been to the BattleBots Arena, which is a couple blocks away.

57
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>It looks bigger in person than it did on TV.

58
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He was asked about skank Fest and said, this is

59
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the third year in Vegas, and I think Vegas and

60
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 1>skank Fest they're a perfect fit. It's a great town

61
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>for the super fans to fly into. The guys from

62
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the Legion of Skanks podcast have always cool to me,

63
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and I love what they've done now they've built this

64
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>fond that really appreciates live stand up. The Journal was

65
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 1>curious about Lewis Black's retirement, and Etel said, Lewis, of

66
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>course is the road warrior. Nobody tore it harder than him,

67
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and the guy's a class all the way. He's been

68
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a role model for the rest of us. I'll be

69
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>doing it thirty seven years now and I'm hoping to

70
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 1>make it a forty, but that really depends on my bills.

71
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you see me after that, then I got

72
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to pay these bills. But I do enjoy it. The

73
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>only thing I don't like is the travel, and it's

74
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>a little harder when you're older, but the shows are

75
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>still really will get you going. I know, comedy in

76
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Vegas is kind of lowered down, somewhere between magic and massage,

77
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'm working on new stuff all the time. He

78
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>was worried about the temperature getting down of the low

79
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>nineties and said he was going to bring a jacket.

80
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Late Nighter I spoke to Chris Gethard and pointed out

81
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that when mulaney did his talk show, a lot of

82
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>people were comparing it to the Chris Gethard show. Chris

83
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>told Late Nighter, Mullany is a cornerstone of modern comedy

84
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>to a degree that no one can ignore it now

85
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and moving forward, you just can't have another boring talk

86
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>show that looks like every talk show since nineteen fifty.

87
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Mullaney has cracked that open. I mean, yeah, but it

88
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>was Son of Letterman, to which Chris Gether talked about,

89
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>and he said, for me, like a lot of people

90
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>my age, it's the Letterman and Conan. My parents tell

91
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>me I used to fake being asleep as a little kid,

92
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>at like three to four years old. I'd pretend to

93
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>be asleep on the couch. Then they'd realize I was

94
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>sitting there watching Johnny Carson with them. But Letterman was

95
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the real game changer. Amen high five, says Johnny Mack.

96
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I remember the first time I stayed up late and

97
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 1>watched Letterman with my older brother. I was definitely on

98
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the younger side of it, but someone who was built

99
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to understand that guy's being kind of a troublemaker. He's

100
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 1>not Carson. Carson's what it's supposed to look like. This

101
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>guy's not doing that. Amen. On top of that, a

102
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of my favorite stuff was stuff that Letterman platform.

103
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you look at Andy Kaufman, Chris Elliott, Howard Stern.

104
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Not only did Letterman do a lot of stuff that

105
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>really shook things up, he took the people who were

106
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 1>really outlandish and gave them a national platform, and then

107
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Conan felt completely insane. Conan really felt like if you

108
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 1>took the smartest version of me and my brother and

109
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>our friends and put them on TV and just let

110
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 1>them do whatever they want. I've often said, if there's

111
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>only one piece of comedy I could ever watch in

112
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>my tire life again, it would be Conan takes mister

113
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>t apple Picking. I think there's a little bit of

114
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that happens among comedy nerds when you think what's the

115
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 1>best sketch group of all time and you go, you know, oh,

116
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>kids in the Hall, Monty Python, UCB, the Slade, whoever

117
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you want to say. But I really think that Conan's

118
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>rying staff from that area. Brian Stack, Brian McCann, Kevin Dwarf,

119
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Andy Blitz, Alison Silverman, John Glazer. If you just put

120
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that in a vacuum, that's one of the best sketch

121
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>comedy groups ever assembled. It just happened to exist under

122
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the umbrella of this larger talk show. That's the best

123
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of the best sketch comedy of that generation, all under

124
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>one roof, operating at a super high level. As for

125
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chris Gathard Show, there were a lot of things

126
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I was just chasing, especially with Letterman Conan. If I

127
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>could do anything as funny as Dave dumping ten thousand

128
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 1>bouncy balls off the roof of the studio onto the

129
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>streets of New York, I'll die happy. If I can

130
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 1>do anything as interesting or funny as a Conan staring

131
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>contest bit, and I feel like it's worth doing it.

132
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 1>But there's definitely part of me that was like, these

133
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>guys don't like doing these monologues, these political jokes, especially

134
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>back then, that's just how Carson used to do it.

135
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>So you're making them do that. I wish the Late

136
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Night Show didn't have to do the monologue. It seems

137
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>like the part of the hosts like least the Chris

138
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>gathered show was far from perfect. I'm not saying we

139
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>nailed it even the majority, but I think some of

140
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the reason it developed a cult following was because people

141
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>saw us going, let's see what we could do to

142
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe totally turn down the stuff we don't like about

143
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 1>talk shows and then pour gasoline on the stuff that

144
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>we do. Back to Mullaney's late night show. I've known

145
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>John for many, many years now, but I saw those

146
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 1>people going, whoa man, this show has the Chris Gathard

147
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Show in front of it, and I was really nervous

148
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>about that, because, just to be clear, John mullaney does

149
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>not need to rip me off in any way. He's

150
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>a very brilliant guy. But a lot of it was

151
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 1>very healthy by seeing a lot of the fans of

152
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the Gathered show going, this is cool to watch this

153
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Mullenie show, and seeing old Gathered show fans jump in

154
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and say, if you like this guy, you might really

155
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like this thing. I like back when I was in

156
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>high school. Here's a link to the YouTube page, and

157
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 1>they're all still up there. I emailed Mullanie after the

158
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 1>first couple nights of a show to say, it's so

159
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>cool to see what you're going for It's bringing back

160
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of positive feelings for me. You're taking big

161
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>chances on live TV, and I really love it. I

162
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 1>talked to my old show runner and he was like,

163
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the cool thing is that Late Night always builds on

164
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>the history of Late Night. Carson built on Steve Allen.

165
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Letterman was building on Erni Kovax, than Conan built on Letterman,

166
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and I never ever hide the fact that my show

167
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 1>was worshiping at the altar of Letterman and Conan. Front

168
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Podcast. Jason Zinnemann reviewed Ali Wong's new Netflix

169
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>special for The New York Times. It's going to take

170
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>me a minute to get to Ali special. The Mets

171
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>are in the playoffs. There's football. I have this life

172
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>outside of doing the comedy podcast, so it's going to

173
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>be a minute before you hear me talk about it.

174
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Jason writes, Wong always reminds me of Bill Burr, because

175
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>she seems funniest at her most tense, working through anger

176
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>using that machine gun delivery. She pops off with some

177
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 1>umbrage on light topics, but also displays stream This is

178
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a show that a time feels undercooked. There are bits

179
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>about dating younger men and Midwesterners that are less than ambitious.

180
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>The show is the feel of someone rushing to tell

181
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>us something. Her main message is that being a divorced

182
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>woman in your forties is better than its cracked up

183
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to be. It's a promising take, in part because you

184
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 1>rarely hear it. But the punchlines slow down as she

185
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>zeros in on herself, telling the crowd look at me

186
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>as an alternative example of how it can be. Yikes,

187
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't sound great. Hanna Gasby started their live show

188
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. The Daily Beast saw it and said,

189
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in Hannah Gatsby's latest excellent show, prepare for that sweet

190
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>innocence to be left in undignified crumbs thanks to a

191
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>brilliantly disgusting joke involving a discarded packet of Tim Tams

192
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and something. Tim TAM's seemed to be Australia's favorite chocolate biscuit.

193
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>It consists of two malted biscuits, separated by a light

194
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 1>hearted chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer

195
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 1>of textured chocolate. But I digress. You may recall the

196
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 1>joke involves a discarded packet of Tim Tams and something

197
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>let's say if you're cleaning a hotel room, you never

198
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>want to find on the floor. Gatsby's both a wonderful

199
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>joke and storyteller. A tilt of the head, a side eye,

200
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a pause can add to moments of extended hilarity while

201
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.399
<v Speaker 1>attempt at threading stories and jokes with moments of sharp

202
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>self reflection and confession. In this show, at certain moments,

203
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 1>they insist that these moments are just between us, reflecting

204
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on Tailor Swift's fame and global predominance. Uh oh, watch out.

205
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>You know one time Joe Cooy made a Tailor Swift joke.

206
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we all know that went Now I'm not

207
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>doing it. Scot Relex Speed not only confesses to not

208
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 1>being much of a fan, but also sums up Swift

209
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>as a can of coke masquerading as a sorority cult.

210
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I guess Hannah Gatsby won't be hosting the

211
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globes anytime soon. Gasby has previously spoken of their

212
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>own autism. Here, they talk of social media being the

213
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>place where neurotypical people go to experience the worst of

214
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the condition. They joke, I'm going to be canceled by feminists.

215
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's anything more feminist than being canceled

216
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>by feminists. Sounds like a fun show. Trevor Noah has

217
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 1>unveiled his latest book. It is called Into the Uncut Grass,

219
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 1>a journey of connection, imagination, and self discovery. Into the

220
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Uncut Grass follows a young child's adventure in a magical

221
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 1>landscape beyond the familiar world of home, discovering the joy

222
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>of sharing connection and finding peace with the people we love.
