Speaker 2: collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions that the whole
Speaker 2: family can enjoy. It doesn't come out until May sixth
Speaker 2: of nixt year, which is why the publicists, I think
Speaker 2: thought I was insane. Got I got those requests in
Speaker 2: though I've previously told you. Nate is working on a
Speaker 2: Christmas special with CBS. Lauren Michael's behind that one. Nate
Speaker 2: says of the new special, I'm extremely excited to be
Speaker 2: creating this special as I've long been a fan of
Speaker 2: variety and we don't see enough of it. I want
Speaker 2: to make a great show for families to gather around
Speaker 2: and watch together, and I couldn't be in better hands
Speaker 2: and with this team. The ratings for Nate's SNL episode
Speaker 2: are in. Four point zero seven million people watched it,
Speaker 2: which is pretty good for eleven thirty at night when
Speaker 2: you compare that to say, Playoff Baseball. Yeah. Week over
Speaker 2: a week, it was down six hundred and twenty six
Speaker 2: thousand viewers from the premiere. You think Coldplay would bring
Speaker 2: in more people, right. It was also down eighty nine
Speaker 2: thousand viewers from Nate's appearance last October on the twenty eighth.
Speaker 2: That musical guest was Foo Fighters hmm. If you want
Speaker 2: to compare week to week last year, on October twenty first,

Speaker 2: the trailer for Seth Meyer's new comedy special. It is
Speaker 2: called Dad Man Walking. I've got the trailer for you here.
Speaker 2: I've made a couple of minor edits to it because
Speaker 2: there's some visual jokes. But let's listen, and I want
Speaker 2: to point out notice the music bed. It's like stock
Speaker 2: Music Library version of the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again?
Speaker 2: Weird choice. It like keeps distracting me because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's fake who Anyway, let's listen.
Speaker 1: I could never hate my kids, you guys, I could
Speaker 1: never hate my kids with that. I hate when they
Speaker 1: wake up in the middle of the night bad news.
Speaker 1: It's gotten to the point that when I hear the
Speaker 1: door knob rattle, I actually think to myself, maybe it's
Speaker 1: just an intruder who will politely steal my valuables, and
Speaker 1: then I won't have to scratch his back for the
Speaker 1: next hour.
Speaker 2: Meyer's jokes that critics say it's the special my kids
Speaker 2: will be talking about in therapy twenty years from now.
Speaker 2: October twenty six for Seth Meyer's Dad Man Walking, Tommy
Speaker 2: Chong was on Bill Morris podcast. He suggested that President
Speaker 2: George W. Bush ordered a hit on mister Chong. Tommy
Speaker 2: Chong is now eighty six. He claimed that his criminal
Speaker 2: conviction in two thousand and three for selling drug paraphernalia online,
Speaker 2: specifically seventy five hundred bonds and water pipes, was orchestrated
Speaker 2: by George W. Bush. Chong served eight months at a
Speaker 2: federal prison in California after entering into a plea deal.
Speaker 2: The case was initiated by the US Attorney for Western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Chung says it was orchestrated by Bush. He told Bill
Speaker 2: Mahr they had a hit on me. The Bush family.
Speaker 2: Bill Maher, no surprise, was curious about the claim. Chong said,
Speaker 2: Bush was invading a raq, so they needed some sort
Speaker 2: of hippie bs more than asked him if it was
Speaker 2: a wag the dog type play. That's a reference to
Speaker 2: a political strategy he used to create a diversion. You know, hey,
Speaker 2: don't worry about the war, worry about Tommy Chung. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, Chong said, yeah, So they attacked me and
Speaker 2: they sentenced me on nine to eleven. The judge Schwartz
Speaker 2: was his name. He had a reputation of doing whatever
Speaker 2: the Bush people wanted done, and so that's why he
Speaker 2: was giving my thing. They needed a face for their
Speaker 2: campaign because they were going after paraphernalia on the internet.
Speaker 2: Mar Ashchong if he harbored any bitterness towards Bush Or's family.
Speaker 2: Chong said no, Yeah, he said no, but admitted the
Speaker 2: experience was a life changer for me. Yeah. I would
Speaker 2: imagine newsweeks as they contacted the Bush media team for comment.
Speaker 2: No comment at the time of this recording. Interesting tag here.
Speaker 2: Chong said prison was devastating to my family, especially my wife.
Speaker 2: Wasn't tough on me. Actually, it was quite a nice experience.
Speaker 2: Jenni Fisher, you know her as Pam from the Office.
Speaker 2: She shared on Instagram her breast cancer diagnosis, announcing she's
Speaker 2: now cancer free. She released a series of slides in
Speaker 2: commemoration of Breast cancer Awareness Month. She said in October
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, doctors found something on her left
Speaker 2: breast after an inconclusive mammogram. That December, she learned she
Speaker 2: had stage one triple positive breast cancer, a particularly aggressive
Speaker 2: form of the disease, but one that is highly responsive
Speaker 2: to treatment. They caught the cancer early it had not
Speaker 2: spread to the rest of her body. In twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: doctors removed the lump, but triple positive breast cancer still
Speaker 2: requires chemo and radiation therapy. Jenna says during the treatment
Speaker 2: her hair fell out and she began wearing wigs and
Speaker 2: hats with hair, which her family affectionately called wigats. After
Speaker 2: twelve rounds of weekly chemotherapy, three weeks of radiation, and
Speaker 2: some other treatments, Jenna says she's happy to say I'm
Speaker 2: feeling great. I'm making this announcements for a few reasons. One,
Speaker 2: I'm ready to ditch the wigs. Two to implore you
Speaker 2: to get your annual mammograms. Can also ask your doctor
Speaker 2: to calculate your breast cancer risk Assessment score and get
Speaker 2: additional screenings required. I'm serious. Caught your doctor right now.
Speaker 2: My tumor was so small it could not be felt
Speaker 2: on a physle exam. If I'd waited six months longer,
Speaker 2: things could be much worse. I'm happy to say I
Speaker 2: was recently rescreened and the treatments worked. I'm cancer free.
Speaker 2: I will continue to be treated monitored to help stay
Speaker 2: that way. Take it from Pam and her Pam PAMs.
Speaker 2: Michael Scott was right, get them check, ladies. Some high
Speaker 2: profile animal lovers, including Ricky Gervais, attended a World Animal
Speaker 2: Day event in aid of the animal welfare charity Mayhew.

Speaker 2: You Are a Raffle and auction of virtual gifts to
Speaker 2: support the dogs, cats and communities that Mayhew helps. HBO

Speaker 2: have I Got news for you? The CNN thing that
Speaker 2: airs on Saturday Night. So maybe the Saturday night thing

Speaker 2: HBO Press Team. My former co worker Jamie Fox recorded
Speaker 2: his new comedy special and will eventually air on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Gail King happened to be backstage to ask Jamie some questions. Well,
Speaker 2: it's amazing, Gail King asked Jamie Fox, I want to
Speaker 2: know how you feel after three nights. Jamie said it
Speaker 2: was an excruciating time opening those wounds every single day.
Speaker 2: The subject matter was the story of the mysterious ailment
Speaker 2: that left Jamie hospitalized back in twenty twenty three. The
Speaker 2: show was titled What had Happened Was? Jamie says the
Speaker 2: show's unusual because he didn't workshop the material. Fox says
Speaker 2: it was excruciating because the worries what gets you. You
Speaker 2: got a great show in the room, but we don't
Speaker 2: know what they may laugh at, what they might not
Speaker 2: laugh at. Usually, when you do a stand up, specially
Speaker 2: you gought for a year and you work every nook
Speaker 2: and granny and then you take it. You don't just
Speaker 2: show up in Atlanta and turn the camera on. It's
Speaker 2: a personal journey and I hope I never have to
Speaker 2: go through this again. My next jokes will start out
Speaker 2: knock Knock. I'll do an hour and a half of
Speaker 2: knock knock jokes. Glad he's doing well again. Having worked
Speaker 2: with Jamie in his camp for a few years, that
Speaker 2: they weren't able to prop him up to take a
Speaker 2: photo of him sitting poolside and looking cool and being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: everything's great. That screams to me that this was really serious,
Speaker 2: because I'm telling you, if they could have gotten one
Speaker 2: good picture, it would have hit the Internet, glad he's
Speaker 2: doing it all right. Steph Tolev is taping her special
