Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City, the Lily City in America. It's the Daily
Speaker 1: Show tonight. Another Prime Minister gone again. Gas stations are
Speaker 1: selling weed. Entitler James Williams. He's the Daily Show with
Speaker 1: forever everybody. Welcome to the day Shop. Thank you sell
Speaker 1: much for shotting in. Thank people coming out in pusson
Speaker 1: a fear. Look at this. I'll take a seat. Everybody,
Speaker 1: take a seat. Take a seat. Wow, this feels amazing.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've met you before. This is wonderful.
Speaker 1: We've got a great showpie In tonight, coronavirus has a
Speaker 1: fun new side effect, Britain loses another queen, and we'll
Speaker 1: find out why Florida now has the greatest gas stations
Speaker 1: of all time. So let's do this, people, Let's jump
Speaker 1: straight into today's headlines. I'm gonna be honest, people, with
Speaker 1: all the news that happened today, I don't think we
Speaker 1: have enough space in today's show. We we tried everything
Speaker 1: we could to pack it all in. You know, we
Speaker 1: tried to tighten it. I even put the news on
Speaker 1: a crash diet, you know, So we'll get small enough
Speaker 1: to fit but those diets don't really works, and all
Speaker 1: that's even more news than ever. And I've got a
Speaker 1: pantry full of tummy t The point is we just
Speaker 1: don't have the time. Fortunately, not enough time. It's just
Speaker 1: enough time for a segment week call. Anybody got time
Speaker 1: for that? All right, let's kick things off with an
Speaker 1: old school story. That's an update on the coronavirus pandemic,
Speaker 1: or as we call it now, just life. Not pretty much.
Speaker 1: Everyone has gotten through COVID at least what's seven times.
Speaker 1: Scientists are wondering what that's doing to our bodies, and
Speaker 1: the onset is not great. We have some more concerning
Speaker 1: news now about the long term impact of COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: A study shows that it speeds up aging. An epidemiology
Speaker 1: expert from Washington University in St. Louis studied long COVID's
Speaker 1: impacts on your organs. In his research, he noticed patterns
Speaker 1: indicating the kidneys, the brain, and the heart all age
Speaker 1: faster after about with the virus. Yeah, that's right. Researchers
Speaker 1: say COVID can cause your organs to age faster than
Speaker 1: you are. I'm not even sure what that means. I
Speaker 1: guess you turn on the TV to what's euphoria and
Speaker 1: your kidneys are like, what about blue bloods? Commar come
Speaker 1: for real? This is disturbing news. Fights in COVID is
Speaker 1: so difficult that it ages your body pots. I mean,
Speaker 1: that is a great excuse for the next time you
Speaker 1: can't perform in bed. Though, you know, you gotta understand,
Speaker 1: my penis is like eighty five. And this is the
Speaker 1: scary thing about COVID because it's a novel virus. We
Speaker 1: still don't know what the long term side effects might be.
Speaker 1: And what sucks is that it's always gonna be bad.
Speaker 1: We know it's always gonna be bad, like viruses never
Speaker 1: have good side effects. News anchors are never like breaking news.
Speaker 1: We're learning now that now you're not of turn people
Speaker 1: suffering from long COVID got those sex cv things hearts not.
Speaker 1: If we had more time, we could talk about the
Speaker 1: long term strain COVID is gonna put on the medical system,
Speaker 1: or how weird organs are in general, like why don't
Speaker 1: we have so many? Why don't we just have one
Speaker 1: big one that runs everything? But we can't get into
Speaker 1: that important medical discussion because while COVID keeps coming up
Speaker 1: with new ways to attack our bodies. The virus of Russia.
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin has found new ways to attack Ukraine well. Tonight,
Speaker 1: the third of Ukraine is without power after Russia destroyed
Speaker 1: power stations in the last eight days. President Zelinski says
Speaker 1: Russia has thrown the country into massive blackouts and is
Speaker 1: urging his nation to brace for a tough winter. For
Speaker 1: the last month, Russia's targeted Ukraine's electricity grid, especially substations
Speaker 1: that serve as junction points between cities. Just yesterday, Russia
Speaker 1: unleashed these a swarm of kama Kaze drones to dive
Speaker 1: bomb energy facilities throughout the city. Yeah, after being beaten
Speaker 1: back by Ukraine's forces on the ground, Putin has now
Speaker 1: resorted to using kama Kazi drones. Caddy bitch. And you know,
Speaker 1: if this doesn't prove that putin strategy is failing, nothing will,
Speaker 1: because you never need to use kamakazi when you're winning.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like anytime you see someone rushing somewhere
Speaker 1: with the handsful of paper towels, you know things are
Speaker 1: not going according to plan. Shoo shoo, shoo, shoo sho.
Speaker 1: And by the way, also, can we stop calling them
Speaker 1: Kamakazi drones. If it's not a person inside, it's not Kamakazi.
Speaker 1: Al right, that's just ghost riding the whip. And Kamakaze
Speaker 1: is from Japan. So this is a war crime and
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation. So you canceled that at me a putin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see if Twitter will do what the U n
Speaker 1: could not. By the way, an interest seeing detail in
Speaker 1: the story is that Russia had to buy these drones
Speaker 1: from Iran, which kind of makes you question their military might.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be one of the most powerful militaries
Speaker 1: in the world, but you ran out of ship already.
Speaker 1: Like you realize, American never runs out of weapons. Never.
Speaker 1: America has so many weapons. Sometimes it will sell weapons
Speaker 1: to countries that it's gonna fight just to make space.
Speaker 1: You know, We're like, all right here, you going rack,
Speaker 1: all right now, let's do this now. If we had
Speaker 1: more time, we could talk about how Russia's access to
Speaker 1: weapons from other countries reminds us that the global sanctions
Speaker 1: aren't as global as we think because they stillft ties
Speaker 1: to Asia, South America and the Middle East. Oh, we
Speaker 1: could talk about how this Ukraine war is completely completely derating,
Speaker 1: notch as Ukraine, but also Europe's economy and their energy supplies.
Speaker 1: But we don't have the time to get into that
Speaker 1: because while Ukraine is in turmoil, there's another country in
Speaker 1: Europe that somehow isn't even more of a ship situation today,
Speaker 1: Great Britain, And that's one story we definitely need to
Speaker 1: make time for breaking across the pond a little earthquake.
Speaker 1: Just forty four days, that is how long Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Liz Trust was in office before resigning. Just in the
Speaker 1: last few hours. I recognize though given the situation, I
Speaker 1: cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by
Speaker 1: the Conservative Party. This makes Trust now the shortest serving
Speaker 1: Prime minister in three hundred and one years. God damn Britain.
Speaker 1: Another prime minister, another prime minister, and this one when
Speaker 1: we last at forty four days. Boris Johnson had COVID
Speaker 1: parties that were longer than that. You realize how hardest
Speaker 1: to get tired of somebody this quickly. Usually politicians get
Speaker 1: a period of time where you like them first and
Speaker 1: then you hate them. But Britain hated Liz Trust basically
Speaker 1: from day one. Imagine being on a first date, on
Speaker 1: a first date with someone and they're like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: so sick of all your ship but we just met.
Speaker 1: It's like, I know, and I'm suffocating. Actually, if this
Speaker 1: was a relationship, I feel like at this point Britain's
Speaker 1: friends will be sitting down with it, like, listen, honey,
Speaker 1: you've been through four prime ministers in six years. They
Speaker 1: can't all be the problem. I'm just saying, maybe it's
Speaker 1: time to turn the vote of no confidence on yourself.
Speaker 1: In fact, for the next prime minister, maybe maybe the
Speaker 1: UK take things a little slow. Yeah, this is chaos.
Speaker 1: For the next one, maybe maybe don't put a label
Speaker 1: on it so much pressure that prime minister. May maybe
Speaker 1: just have them be the person who lives at ten
Speaker 1: Downing Street. In fact, you don't even live there, just
Speaker 1: sleep over here and there, you know. Yeah, then maybe
Speaker 1: leave a toothbrush behind, you know, and then then they
Speaker 1: get a draw for their clothes. And then when you're
Speaker 1: sure that this is the prime minister for you, then
Speaker 1: you bring them to meet your friends at the G seven.
Speaker 1: How about that? You know, they're like, yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: a thing. Now we're a thing. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: remember the reason Liz Trust lost her job is because
Speaker 1: She came into office making worse decisions than a company
Speaker 1: social media manager during Black History Month, terrible budget plans,
Speaker 1: firing finance ministers, going back on her own policies, sending
Speaker 1: the queen to meet Jesus. Things were going so badly,
Speaker 1: so badly that the British press trolled her with vegetables
Speaker 1: in a side of just how tenuous her standing was
Speaker 1: and perhaps how brutal UK politics can be. A British
Speaker 1: newspaper began tracking ahead of Lettuces to see if the
Speaker 1: embattled trust would last longer than the produce, and it did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's humiliating, that is humanly. Imagine being so bad at
Speaker 1: your job that you lose a joke contest. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: at first people are like, ha ha, I bet she
Speaker 1: can't last longer than ahead of lettuce. And then by
Speaker 1: the end but they were like, should the let us
Speaker 1: be prime minister? And maybe the letters will be the
Speaker 1: only one that wants the job because right now Britain's
Speaker 1: Parliament sounds more chaotic than a family reunion at her
Speaker 1: shaw Walker's house. Yesterday was a shambolic day for her.
Speaker 1: We heard earlier in the day that her Interior Minister,
Speaker 1: the Home Secretary Soweller Braveman had resigned over an issue
Speaker 1: over improper use of her emails, and then later in
Speaker 1: the day we heard that she had in fact been fired.
Speaker 1: And then there was a vote in the House of
Speaker 1: Commons which descended into chaos. Some lawmakers alleged that government
Speaker 1: officials were actually physically pushing them, intimidating them into making
Speaker 1: decisions that they wouldn't otherwise have made. One lawmaker even
Speaker 1: alleged that some MPs were crying in the toilets of
Speaker 1: the House of Commons. What a ship show? Did you hear? That?
Speaker 1: People were shoving each other, crying, swearing, quitting and quitting.
Speaker 1: So I was like the whole government turned into a
Speaker 1: high school drama club rehearsal. I mean members of Parliament
Speaker 1: were crying in the toilet. Multiple members of Parliament like
Speaker 1: how any what? What? Was there? A lying? You know
Speaker 1: there's people like, oh you almost done? In there? Are you? Almost?
Speaker 1: Other people are waiting to cry too, you know, it's
Speaker 1: coming out, Tory, it's coming out. It's actually too bad
Speaker 1: that this happened in Britain and not in Japan, because
Speaker 1: you know, at least Japanese toilets, so advanced they can,
Speaker 1: they can probably actually help and console you. You know
Speaker 1: you're doing the best you can thanks to too. I remember,
Speaker 1: remember what happened? Come, don't don't just shut up? No,
Speaker 1: just shut up. Don't You're not helping, you know. The
Speaker 1: craziest part, the craziest part of this whole story is
Speaker 1: that Liz Trust only became Prime Minister because Boris Johnson
Speaker 1: was embroiled in so many scandals that he was forced
Speaker 1: to resign. That's the only reason she got the job.
Speaker 1: So you'll never guess who might be replacing her. The
Speaker 1: big issue though, for the Conservative Party and for this
Speaker 1: country is that no one really knows who's going to
Speaker 1: be able to replace her. There are a number of
Speaker 1: names in the mix, including I have to say Boris Johnson,
Speaker 1: who is currently on holiday and on vacation at the moment.
Speaker 1: In the Caribbeans, there are a number of Conservative Party
Speaker 1: members who are calling for Boris Johnson to return to
Speaker 1: the helm. I went to my constituency at the weekend
Speaker 1: and the strong message that I got was bringing back
Speaker 1: Boris Johnson. Some supporters and some allies of Boris Johnson
Speaker 1: say that he may throw his name into the ring,
Speaker 1: which would be pretty remarkable since he was forced out
Speaker 1: by a scandal just six or seven weeks ago. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, people, Old Boris Johnson is looking. It's a
Speaker 1: good right now, isn't he not? Physically? Of course, physically
Speaker 1: he looks like a Pomeranian who got stuck in a dryer. Politically,
Speaker 1: though he's not bird. He's an honest question, though, Britain,
Speaker 1: are you are you guys really gonna put Boris back
Speaker 1: in office? Boris scandals Johnson? There is nobody else who
Speaker 1: could do this job, nobody in the entire country. And
Speaker 1: what about Paddington? Everybody loves him. Yeah, with that voice,
Speaker 1: he could even have bad policies, No one would care.
Speaker 1: I want to burn all the migrants, you crazy tyrants. Now. Look,
Speaker 1: if we had more time, we could try and figure
Speaker 1: out Britain's next top minister, or we could place bets
Speaker 1: on how long they would last. But we don't have
Speaker 1: the time because we have to go to an ad
Speaker 1: break that is probably gonna last longer than let's trust
Speaker 1: we'll be right back, YEA. Welcome back to the day show,
Speaker 1: My guests to Mike As, an Emmy nominated actor who
Speaker 1: stars in the hit show Abbott Elementary, which is now
Speaker 1: in its second season and as Wednesdays on ABC, Please
Speaker 1: welcome Tyler James Williams. Tyler James Williams, Welcome to The
Speaker 1: Daily Show. It is great to see you here. That's yours.
Speaker 1: You enjoy it. You can take the mug with you
Speaker 1: and everything fantasty one of the perks um. First of all,
Speaker 1: congratulations all of your success, your continued success. You know,
Speaker 1: I fell in love with you as an actor on
Speaker 1: Everybody Hates Chris. I've been following you ever since. It
Speaker 1: was so good to see you. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you've obviously, you know, done cameos and other shows, and
Speaker 1: you've played other parts, and but Abbot Elementary is is
Speaker 1: a force. You've got an Emy nomination for Congratulations on
Speaker 1: that as well. You've been premomenal. The whole cost has
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. You know. You know what's amazing about the
Speaker 1: show isn't just the fact that it is a network
Speaker 1: show that everyone said was Everyone said network is dead
Speaker 1: TV comedies nobody wants any more. People want procedurals. People
Speaker 1: want to and you've brought a show that people watch live,
Speaker 1: that people watch together. People want to speak about the
Speaker 1: next day. What do you what do you think? You know?
Speaker 1: Is part of the reason the show is so successful
Speaker 1: in residents. I think people want to feel good man.
Speaker 1: I think after what has continued to be the pandemic
Speaker 1: and our you know, political climate, I think which we
Speaker 1: found a lot that we could be mad about, a
Speaker 1: lot of things we can yell at each other about,
Speaker 1: but not much that we could laugh about together. And
Speaker 1: this is one of those shows that kind of brings
Speaker 1: people together and you know, you can talk about it
Speaker 1: the day after and kind of laugh at what we
Speaker 1: know to be a broken educational system. But if we
Speaker 1: can't laugh about it, then what it's kind of the
Speaker 1: same concept. Is this this thing you've got going on here?
Speaker 1: I mean, now that this thing right here, this thing
Speaker 1: what I've what I've loved about the show is how
Speaker 1: beloved it has become in the education space, Like teachers
Speaker 1: love the show, you know, on multiple occasions, Avid Elementary
Speaker 1: as for instance, given away it's marketing budget to buy
Speaker 1: supplies for teachers around the country to raise awareness for
Speaker 1: how they're not getting paid enough or they don't have enough.
Speaker 1: The stories talk about what's happening in the American schooling system,
Speaker 1: but with grace. I think that's That's one of the
Speaker 1: things I've really appreciated is that it's not like a
Speaker 1: mockery of teachers, and it doesn't it doesn't shoot on anybody,
Speaker 1: but it's really honest in people's failings. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's if we can't look at where we are right
Speaker 1: now and make some kind of commentary on it that
Speaker 1: that isn't incredibly divisive, then I don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: That's what network TV is supposed to do. It's woven
Speaker 1: into the fabric of American culture, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: We've always sat down together and we've watched something and
Speaker 1: we've talked about it. That the water clue cooler or whatever.
Speaker 1: So the American sitcom kind of can't die. If the
Speaker 1: American sitcom dies, we're you know, it's it's It's actually
Speaker 1: interesting you say that, because I was talking to a
Speaker 1: friend about this the other day, and I was saying,
Speaker 1: people take for granted how powerful and how connective it
Speaker 1: was to have shows that people share. You share a reality,
Speaker 1: you share an experience, you share something that brings you together,
Speaker 1: as opposed to politics, which always divides people. You you've
Speaker 1: been in this business for ever since you were worked
Speaker 1: for four years old. You're normal though, enough, I'm normal enough.
Speaker 1: How I really like the work, man. I really like
Speaker 1: telling stories and and representing people and you know, empathizing
Speaker 1: with characters and and and and going into people's living
Speaker 1: rooms week to week. You know, when you look at
Speaker 1: your journey now, everyone talks about being grateful, and it's
Speaker 1: always easy to be grateful for the for the for
Speaker 1: the momentous moments. What is the most insignificant seeming moments
Speaker 1: in your life that you're the most grateful for because
Speaker 1: of how it shaped you or how it's you know,
Speaker 1: shaped the life that you live. Now, That's a good one, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it would be a series of moments.
Speaker 1: If anything, it's the fact that I guess more of
Speaker 1: a concept the fact that my audience has literally grown
Speaker 1: up with me and we're all here together now. That
Speaker 1: that's the thing that when I sit down at night
Speaker 1: and like all the lights are off and like last
Speaker 1: thoughts are going through your head. That's kind of the
Speaker 1: craziest thing for me, is like we all grew up
Speaker 1: together and now we're all here. We're trying to figure
Speaker 1: this life out together and Hopefully I can continue to
Speaker 1: do that until we all you know, are deep in
Speaker 1: our eighties. Man, that gave me goose bumps. I love
Speaker 1: me so much. Thank you so much for being level,
Speaker 1: but we're at learning nothing. One of the funniest human
Speaker 1: beings I've ever watched and had the pleasure I speaking truth.
