Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From New York City, the only city in America.
Speaker 3: It's the show that you said you news this, It's
Speaker 3: The Daily Show with your.
Speaker 2: Home the show.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the Daily Show.
Speaker 2: I'm Michelle Wolf. You know.
Speaker 4: Yes, despite the advice of my friends in Comedy Central
Speaker 4: standards department, I am back for another.
Speaker 2: Night and touchy, touchy.
Speaker 4: We've got a great show for you tonight. So let's
Speaker 4: get into those headlines. We're going to kick things off
Speaker 4: tonight with the White Beet Fox News. Every once in
Speaker 4: a while check in with Fox News just to see
Speaker 4: which race slash pronoun slash eminem I should be scared of. Now,
Speaker 4: let me get the brown one. I was surprised to
Speaker 4: find something different from Jesse Waters, Fox News anchor and
Speaker 4: the last face you see before blacking out at Sigma Kappa.
Speaker 2: Buckle up, guys, those are gonna get worse. Okay. So look,
Speaker 2: I turned on the news.
Speaker 4: I thought he was gonna be talking about what's going
Speaker 4: on in the world, and all he was doing was
Speaker 4: meandering through the world's most boring Thanksgiving and like not
Speaker 4: for a little bit of time, he talked about it
Speaker 4: for like half of his show.
Speaker 5: So I made it to do list best to do
Speaker 5: list in my life. I'm actually mad because I crossed
Speaker 5: everything off on it on my phone and now I
Speaker 5: can't see how much I accomplished. I had a hard copy,
Speaker 5: and I should have organized the list geographically based on
Speaker 5: where I was going instead of just haphazardly because I
Speaker 5: bit off more than I could show. I wake up,
Speaker 5: drank sixty ounces of water, drink my green juice, pot
Speaker 5: of coffee, hopped in the car with my list.
Speaker 6: In my hand.
Speaker 5: But I couldn't even make it to the second errand
Speaker 5: without having to go to the bath after.
Speaker 4: Going to the water, Stop it stop, what ends this story?
Speaker 2: Get this out of the way. Look, I mean it is.
Speaker 4: Not a slow news week, okay, And you are sitting
Speaker 4: here talking about an incredible amount of liquid that you
Speaker 4: just ingested and how you're surprised it made you go
Speaker 4: to the bathroom. Sixty ounces of water is it's a
Speaker 4: huge amount of water, and then you had a green
Speaker 4: juice and a coffee. You're just slashing around out there
Speaker 4: like a human waterbed. I kept watching because I kept thinking,
Speaker 4: was it's got.
Speaker 2: To get to a point. He's got he has to say.
Speaker 2: There's so much to say right now, he's gotta have
Speaker 2: something to say.
Speaker 4: So, in fact, we're gonna keep this running and we're
Speaker 4: gonna check back in and you're all gonna suffer exactly.
Speaker 2: How I suffer. But let's move on to something lighthearted. Abortion.
Speaker 2: You guys, remember how Donald Trump killed Roe V.
Speaker 4: Wade right after he killed Ruth Bader Ginsburg after so well,
Speaker 4: now Trump is making the confusing and strategic decision to
Speaker 4: run as a moderate on abortion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trump a moderate on abortion.
Speaker 4: It's like the kool aid man suddenly caring about walls.
Speaker 4: It's too late, dude, the damage you're done, you big
Speaker 4: red bitch. Now, don't let anyone tell you that abortion
Speaker 4: is not popular in this country. Even the man who
Speaker 4: kill them is acting like he supports them.
Speaker 2: What happened to Rov Wade? Folks? Come on, Obama, lot them.
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring back Row. We're gonna bring back Wade.
Speaker 2: I talk to both of them. They're on board. I
Speaker 2: love to make deals.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, I can't believe I just won an award
Speaker 7: for the best Trump impression ever.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it smells terrible.
Speaker 4: All right, before we move on, let's check in with
Speaker 4: the guy who looks like Roofy Magazine's Man of the Year.
Speaker 2: What news he got for us?
Speaker 5: Now, Jesse, So I check to see what time the
Speaker 5: car wash closes.
Speaker 2: Says five pm.
Speaker 5: I think great, I'm only fifteen minutes away, so I
Speaker 5: get there at four forty five.
Speaker 2: But when I get.
Speaker 5: There, there's a big orange cone blocking the lane.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry the car was wash closed early on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: How is this news? This isn't even news for your family, Chuckie.
Speaker 4: There's so much to talk about, and let's move on
Speaker 4: to some climate news. This weekend, the UAE hosts the
Speaker 4: annual United Nations Climate Conference, where countries from all over
Speaker 4: the world pretend to care about the climate crisis. And look,
Speaker 4: maybe you think I'm being a little bit cynical about this,
Speaker 4: but apparently the UAE is planning to use the climate
Speaker 4: conference to make new oil and gas deals, which, look,
Speaker 4: that might sound scandalous, but.
Speaker 2: This is what they've always done.
Speaker 4: It's like given hand jobs of Jesus camp. It's fun
Speaker 4: because you know you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: This one's for Jesus.
Speaker 4: Speaking of things you shouldn't do, Let's see if.
Speaker 2: Evil David Schwimmer is done yet with the never ending story.
Speaker 5: I'm not making fun of him.
Speaker 2: You're kidding me, You're kidding. You're getting rice pudding.
Speaker 5: And the waiter says, sorry, we've sold out of the
Speaker 5: rice pudding.
Speaker 2: Rice pudding is popular.
Speaker 6: Never thought it was.
Speaker 5: Isn't rice pudding just like rice inside of pudding?
Speaker 8: Why is he still going like, does the bus explode
Speaker 8: if he ends the story?
Speaker 4: Now while he explores the mystery that is rice pudding,
Speaker 4: we'll move on to some business news.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Red Lobster.
Speaker 4: The restaurant Not My Vagina. Red Lobster had a promotion
Speaker 4: that got out of control.
Speaker 2: Again the restaurant I'm not my bead.
Speaker 4: They offered endless shrimp for twenty dollars, thinking surely people
Speaker 4: are not going to eat that much shrimp, and instead
Speaker 4: they lost eleven million dollars.
Speaker 8: And it's so funny because they expected people to order
Speaker 8: something else, but instead.
Speaker 2: They were like, no, just more shrimp, all right?
Speaker 4: Anything to drink anything, No, we'll drink the sauce. The
Speaker 4: moral of the story is it's fun to eat out,
Speaker 4: and this time talking about my vagina. For more on
Speaker 4: endless shrimp Fiacco, we turned to Ronnie Chang.
Speaker 2: Now, Ronnie, would you describe this shrimp disaster as jumbo? Absolutely?
Speaker 9: Michelle Red Lobster learned a very powerful lesson here. Never
Speaker 9: underestimate how horny Americans are for shrimp. Okay, remember the
Speaker 9: movie Forrest Gump. It was a movie about a mentally
Speaker 9: challenged war hero whose girlfriend dies of aides. But America
Speaker 9: saw it and said, hey, tell me more about this
Speaker 9: Bubba Gump shrimp company. And now that's a real restaurant.
Speaker 9: That's how much Americans love shrimp.
Speaker 4: Come on, Ronnie, you gotta give us a break. Is
Speaker 4: there anything wrong with people enjoying endless shrimp?
Speaker 9: Yes, there is, because when this country offers you something endless,
Speaker 9: it's never actually good. It's always endless war, endless student loans,
Speaker 9: or endless Jesse water Wentz.
Speaker 4: Also there's endless guns and endless Marvel movies, and well.
Speaker 9: Hey, hey, Marvel movies are national treasure.
Speaker 2: All right, and each and every character in them.
Speaker 9: Is precious and should get my own spin off in theaters,
Speaker 9: not a streaming only bullshit.
Speaker 2: Good luck to you on that.
Speaker 4: But tell me how does Red Lobster recover from this
Speaker 4: loss eleven million dollars is a lot for a restaurant
Speaker 4: that smells like a whales asshole.
Speaker 9: Well not when you look at the broader economy.
Speaker 1: Michelle.
Speaker 9: Yes, Red Lobster takes a short term loss, but giving
Speaker 9: Americans endless shrimp helps other industries like commercial fishermen, toilet
Speaker 9: plungers and the company that makes that thing that goes
Speaker 9: like this. If all those companies kick some money back
Speaker 9: to Red Lobster, then they can keep this promotion going.
Speaker 1: It's called trickle down crustacean and it.
Speaker 9: Will help Americans eat endless shrimp forever or until the
Speaker 9: ocean's ecosystem collapses. But but it'll be fine. That's like
Speaker 9: a year from now, and my Marvel movie should be
Speaker 9: all by Bens and I.
Speaker 4: Guess we all win. Runny Chang, everybody. We have to
Speaker 4: take a break. But first, let's check in one last
Speaker 4: time with Matt in Tusso's rough draft known as Jesse Waters.
Speaker 5: And I noticed the dog's old wet, and She's like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is my dog, you know, kind of wet, you know,
Speaker 5: he just swim in the pond. And I'm thinking, this
Speaker 5: is kind of crazy. You're letting your dog swimming a
Speaker 5: pond thirty seven degrees and the nature Preserve.
Speaker 4: Well, there you have it, the top primetime news show
Speaker 4: on the top cable news network in America. Over sixteen
Speaker 4: minutes in and we got to wet dog.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 4: I don't know why he spent so much time talking
Speaker 4: about all this. I don't know if he had to
Speaker 4: vamp because his story he wanted to say got censored,
Speaker 4: or he had to run errands before and you'd never
Speaker 4: done that, and he had to let the whole world
Speaker 4: know about bathrooms and stores and pudding. But I will
Speaker 4: say this was sixteen minutes that I wasn't hearing about
Speaker 4: January sixth being a field trip. So you know what,
Speaker 4: Fox News, keep it up a little buddy.
Speaker 2: All right, let me come back.
Speaker 4: We'll kind out how to live sustainably and why it's so.
Speaker 10: Don't go away, Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: We all want to live more sustainably, but what does
Speaker 4: that really mean? Grace, Coole and Schmidt went out to
Speaker 4: find out.
Speaker 3: When you hear off the grid, you probably think of
Speaker 3: living in a cute cottage in the woods like Ted Kevinski.
Speaker 3: But you don't have to venture way into the wilderness
Speaker 3: to live like Ted.
Speaker 11: Meet josh Spodek, astrophysicist, n YU professor and real life
Speaker 11: Captain Planet.
Speaker 12: I used to empty my garbage weekly. Now I empty
Speaker 12: my garbage once in twenty nineteen, once in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 12: once in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 13: Kate Twin.
Speaker 14: I also only take out my trash once a year.
Speaker 11: But recently Joshua' even further taking his Manhattan apartment off
Speaker 11: the electrical grid completely.
Speaker 6: So what is your problem with electricity? Did it kill
Speaker 6: your family.
Speaker 14: Or did it because I'm now realizing that's kind of
Speaker 14: something that could happen.
Speaker 12: I do use electricity. I have my solar panels that
Speaker 12: to take up to the roof and charge the battery.
Speaker 12: But that's it. I try to minimize my footprint as
Speaker 12: much as I can.
Speaker 6: Now what exactly is electricity? And I know the basics.
Speaker 6: It's the stuff that's in the air.
Speaker 12: Electricity actually a very complication.
Speaker 14: When people think it's simple, I'm like, are you dumb?
Speaker 12: In one sense it's simple and that it just works
Speaker 12: because that's how gravity gravity. So we've learned to control
Speaker 12: this power through wires and batteries and things like that.
Speaker 12: So almost always you're going to be pulling, and I
Speaker 12: don't want to.
Speaker 11: Josh's typical day as an eco warrior starts with cardiom
Speaker 11: going up eleven flights of stairs with his solar panels,
Speaker 11: his heavy, heavy solar panels. By the way, you know,
Speaker 11: we're like breathing out carbon right now.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's all part of the biosphere. It's not bringing
Speaker 12: new carbon from outside of the biosphere.
Speaker 14: I'll be right up there, man, just give me like
Speaker 14: one second.
Speaker 11: Luckily I was able to find a task grabit to
Speaker 11: go up the remaining ten flights.
Speaker 12: Of stairs connect the solar panel.
Speaker 11: It's a battery cool and it's not just about saving energy.
Speaker 11: Josh has also been living packaging free.
Speaker 6: For a decade.
Speaker 11: Americans throw away two hundred and sixty eight millions on
Speaker 11: trash per year, which is enough to feed ten rats.
Speaker 1: But Jos, there's a better way.
Speaker 12: I keep all my garbage here. And the last time
Speaker 12: I emptied this was Christmas twenty nineteen. So this is
Speaker 12: my fourth year on one load of garbage.
Speaker 6: Do you mind if I give this year?
Speaker 12: I'd pass on that, okay, And if you bring a
Speaker 12: reasonable container next time.
Speaker 6: This isn't reusable.
Speaker 12: People in the future will be dealing with it for
Speaker 12: five hundred years.
Speaker 14: Or more so, five hundred years someone will be using it,
Speaker 14: maybe my great great granddaughter.
Speaker 12: They won't be using it so much as it'll be
Speaker 12: in their bloodstreams plastic. It doesn't decompose it necessary with
Speaker 12: their hormonal system. It causes disease.
Speaker 6: You have quite the imagination.
Speaker 11: Josh also uses that imagination in the kitchen.
Speaker 12: So this is split pee. I got carrot beat cabbage.
Speaker 12: I just put a nutritional yeast.
Speaker 14: It's like really fragrant.
Speaker 12: I hope you like it. I think this will be
Speaker 12: better tomorrow after the flavors mixed a bit.
Speaker 11: This way of life seemed really difficult. How is Josh
Speaker 11: keeping himself going?
Speaker 12: So this life stole may look like deprivation sacrifice to others,
Speaker 12: but for me, it's really about joy totally.
Speaker 6: You seem very very joyful.
Speaker 12: People say it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 12: I compost, I recycle, and I do what I can,
Speaker 12: but I have to balance that with living my regular life.
Speaker 6: Right, That's usually what I'm saying to myself.
Speaker 12: And you think, do I have to think about every
Speaker 12: other person on the planet every time I do anything?
Speaker 13: How?
Speaker 6: I think it's like you're reading my brain.
Speaker 12: But systemic change begins with personal change. I got to
Speaker 12: quote Abraham Lincoln here. Okay, nothing damages you more than
Speaker 12: to do something that you believe is wrong.
Speaker 14: And I'll quote Abraham Lincoln. God bless America.
Speaker 2: He said that a lot. Probably.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Wow, Josh had inspired me, and I was ready to
Speaker 11: make a difference too, going a full twenty four hours.
Speaker 6: Living life this bote x time.
Speaker 11: This is a day in my life with zero electricity
Speaker 11: and zero waste.
Speaker 2: I start my day by waking up.
Speaker 11: What's no electricity means no lights. Luckily, my toxic roommate
Speaker 11: isn't home, so I'm using her food to make my
Speaker 11: famous green Gloves smoothie.
Speaker 6: I start with.
Speaker 11: Bananas, some beautiful organic kale, one scoop of collagen.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 11: Next up a trip to pre cycle, a packaging free
Speaker 11: store where you bring your own containers.
Speaker 14: Good thing.
Speaker 6: I always travel with my dupperwares.
Speaker 11: Josh, if you're watching, check it out, Bedad.
Speaker 2: I'm really doing this.
Speaker 14: Hello, So these are oaks right here, and then last,
Speaker 14: but not least, these this flower.
Speaker 2: Sure you can.
Speaker 14: Probably just wave my whole hand just to make it
Speaker 14: a little bit easier.
Speaker 15: Oh my god, I did it.
Speaker 2: That was only ninety minutes.
Speaker 13: Me.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 6: I mean, you have the wrong apartment. Get out of here.
Speaker 11: Little did I know things were about to get really
Speaker 11: really bad.
Speaker 16: One you said you had five ten minutes ago. You okay,
Speaker 16: all good, bro, all good.
Speaker 2: Just me here with my thoughts. That's chill. I know
Speaker 2: what to do.
Speaker 11: Sadly, I didn't make it, but you know what, I
Speaker 11: did make a difference, and that's something they can never
Speaker 11: take away from me.
Speaker 13: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 13: Let me come back.
Speaker 2: Hey, I enjoying Randa. We'll be joining me on the show.
Speaker 13: Don't go away.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: My guest tonight is the Tony nominated actor who stars
Speaker 4: in a new film The Holdovers.
Speaker 2: Please welcome. Davine joined Randolph.
Speaker 17: Thank you, okay, thank you and mine, thank you so
Speaker 17: much for being here.
Speaker 2: It's wonderful to see you.
Speaker 1: It's so good to see you.
Speaker 2: Yes we uh we went to the same high school.
Speaker 1: You high school, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we we were from I mean central Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: And you did this movie.
Speaker 4: You have to do a Boston accent in this movie.
Speaker 4: That was that hard to I mean, I'm someone who's
Speaker 4: terrible at accents, I mean awful.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: If you heard the Trump one, you just got to Yeah,
Speaker 4: But was it hard to get into the Boston accent?
Speaker 2: Was it hard to get out of the Boston accent?
Speaker 18: It helped because we were filming in Boston, so that helped.
Speaker 18: But it was hard because the accent that I'm doing
Speaker 18: is like a seventies Boston African American dialect. So I'm
Speaker 18: not sounding like Mark Wahlberg, you know what I mean.
Speaker 18: So everybody's walking around like Wallburgs and they're like, oh blah,
Speaker 18: and I'm like, it's different.
Speaker 1: It's different.
Speaker 18: So sometimes it would throw me a little bit, and
Speaker 18: so I just would have like certain key words that
Speaker 18: would help me get back into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you can you share any of your key.
Speaker 1: No, I used to before they said action.
Speaker 18: I would be like, oh, mister Hannam, Hana Hannam, and
Speaker 18: just say his name, and that would like kind of
Speaker 18: settle me back into it.
Speaker 4: Is there anything you specifically watched or listened to to
Speaker 4: get into that?
Speaker 18: Like last summer it is from Boston, and so I
Speaker 18: would watch a lot of her interviews and stuff like
Speaker 18: that because it was more to the time period. And Yeah,
Speaker 18: a lot of YouTube clips and stuff like that, and
Speaker 18: that kind of helped me constantly have that in my head.
Speaker 2: And that's great.
Speaker 4: You got to listen to Donna Summers and yeah, right,
Speaker 4: like Mark Wahlberg, and you've done I mean, you've done
Speaker 4: so many incredible things. You've got to work with so
Speaker 4: many incredible people. You know, Eddie Murphy, Paul GIAMAI, Steve Martin.
Speaker 4: Are there any other people that you're like really wanting
Speaker 4: to work with.
Speaker 1: I really want to work with Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 18: I saw the trailer the other night of Maestro and
Speaker 18: it looks amazing. Yeah, the way that he just died,
Speaker 18: I like people that just want to die fully in
Speaker 18: he resembles him in an interesting way, and I think
Speaker 18: that's both with the magic of you know, movies, but
Speaker 18: also his commitment to the role that it's just I
Speaker 18: was like, oh, he's really he's dedicated. So that was
Speaker 18: exciting for me that I was like, I would love
Speaker 18: to work with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4: I imagine you want to work with other people at
Speaker 4: the top of their game.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I saw.
Speaker 4: Bradley Cooper in New York recently, and I like, it
Speaker 4: took me everything not to be like.
Speaker 1: Hi, Yeah, exactly. He's a handsome one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then what about other roles anything that Like?
Speaker 4: I mean, you've done a mix of serious comedy.
Speaker 18: I think I want to start getting into biopics. I
Speaker 18: think that would be really fun, and that I started
Speaker 18: off with singing, so I think that could be a
Speaker 18: really nice way to merge the two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think biopiics and start playing some real women.
Speaker 2: I'd be great. Get this lady some real women. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And your character Mary in this she's a she's a cook.
Speaker 2: Do you are you good at cooking?
Speaker 1: I am good at cooking. I love cooking.
Speaker 18: And that was kind of like not a deal breaker,
Speaker 18: but that was something that I said to the director
Speaker 18: Alexander Payne. I was like, if I do this, I
Speaker 18: really need real food. And so he was really cool
Speaker 18: about it. He was like, Okay, what is the Christmas menu?
Speaker 18: And I was like really, yeah, yeah, And so I
Speaker 18: cook in real life and real time. I cook soup, oatmeal,
Speaker 18: a roasted chicken, and ate like a breakfast because I'm hungover.
Speaker 2: That's that sounds great. I want to be in this movie.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get me food? I don't.
Speaker 4: I would like I like to think I can cook,
Speaker 4: but I just don't. I don't do it because I
Speaker 4: don't like to clean up.
Speaker 2: And I got to get somebody clean up for I know,
Speaker 2: I need to make people to clean up from.
Speaker 14: Me, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's the thing.
Speaker 1: You just bite people.
Speaker 18: I'm like, oh my god, I want to cook for
Speaker 18: you clean up.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a great. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got to meet better friends and you.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you had to pick up smoking for this role.
Speaker 2: Did you have a hard time?
Speaker 1: I love how you said it. You had to pick
Speaker 1: up smoking, pick up you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the joy of an addiction? Yeah? Did you? Did
Speaker 2: you get addicted? Did you have?
Speaker 18: I was really nervous about it. I was like, ooh,
Speaker 18: I feel like I might have that addiction gene.
Speaker 1: What's gonna go happen?
Speaker 18: And so they gave me before we started shooting, the
Speaker 18: director sent over two big boxes of like natural fake ones,
Speaker 18: and it just wasn't working for me, and like because
Speaker 18: the it was fake and it looked fake while doing it,
Speaker 18: And so I started using American spirits because they have like,
Speaker 18: you know, there's different like I call it gradients of
Speaker 18: addiction that nicotine gets like stronger and stronger. So I
Speaker 18: had like the blue pack, which I think is like
Speaker 18: the lighter of them, and then like of how I
Speaker 18: wanted to hold it because she's an avid smoker, and
Speaker 18: so they were.
Speaker 1: Just I get it.
Speaker 18: They were like, the cigarette's gonna tell on you, Like
Speaker 18: if you don't know what you're doing, they can tell
Speaker 18: by how you're holding.
Speaker 1: They're like, she's lying, she never saw the day in
Speaker 1: her life.
Speaker 2: So puff puff, I was going, I mean, good for you.
Speaker 18: Thank you dad, commitment, exitment, and I smoked my life
Speaker 18: for her.
