1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: So I'm in the room with Barack Obama and I

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: want to do one more video. I take out my

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell glasses and I go, Barack, good to show

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: you again, and he looks at me and goes, no,

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: we can't do that. That is giving me serious PTSD.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: Put those away. That's freaking me out.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Hi.

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: Everyone, I'm Katie Couric and this is Next Question. It's

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: that time of year everyone, A new season of Next

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: Question is beginning, and we thought it would be fun

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: to have my friend Matt friend come by because he's

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 3: having a moment or is it just because he had

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: a moment with me recently at the US Open.

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Hey Matt, Katie, I'm I am. This is like a

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: make a wish. I really am excited to be.

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: Here, except you're not dying.

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: No I'm not, thankfully not. But this is iconic. I'm

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: in being interviewed by you. This is a dream come true.

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. I haven't been this excited

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: to get interviewed since Charlie Rose interviewed me with his

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: towel on and that was quite the experience. But we'll

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: talk about that later.

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Well, you know, every time I listen to you to

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: speak in your normal voice, I'm like, who is he impersonating?

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: Isn't that funny?

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: This one is me? Which is hard to believe. Sometimes

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm confused myself.

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: Who did you have a great speaking voice?

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: Matt?

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: I remember who was it?

32
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

33
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 3: You were with Seth McFarlane. McFarlane at an award show.

34
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: I think you were interviewing him and you said he

35
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: was your idol and he said, why isn't it Peter

36
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: Jenny's With a voice like that. You do have an

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: incredibly strong voice, and you could be a newscaster, don't

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: you think.

39
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: You saying this is outrageous to me, Katie Kirk to

40
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: look at me and say that I could be a newscaster.

41
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean I do have resting broadcaster voice. Yeah, I'm nice.

42
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: I'll be on a date and I'll be like, I

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: will have the gaspacho right after commercial. So that's kind

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: of my I always sound like I'm delivering major breaking news.

45
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Well you do, you do. You have a great, great

46
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: speaking voice. But you're only twenty seven years old yet,

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: and you are in a role. Although I've heard about

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: you for quite a while now from my husband John Molner,

49
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: who also hails from Chicago. Yes, you're from Lincoln Park.

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: You grew up in Lincoln Park. He grew up in

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: Highland Park. And we should full disclosure. I mean one

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: of the reasons I'm talking to you. You're an Eppo

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: baby for the first time.

54
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

55
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: And John and your dad, I guess knew each other

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: as kids.

57
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: Talk about this connection.

58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad grew up with John. And then there

59
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: was also Richard Marx and rich Appel. These are some

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: of the Chicago luminaries in my mind, right, Richard Mark,

61
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: Richard Mark's legendary singer, rich Ad Pell, execut producer of

62
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: Family Guy. So it's very interesting connections. And then there

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: was Harvey Weinstein, but we don't talk about that one.

64
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my god, your dad did they Did he

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: go to school?

66
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Yes?

67
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 4: Did he go to high school North Shore Country Day?

68
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: Yes?

69
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very sounds very preppy.

70
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: It does.

71
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

72
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Really, how small the world is?

73
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

74
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: So John Mulner has been telling me about you, Matt

75
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: and how funny you are, and showing me he's like

76
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: your videos.

77
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: He is, I know, are you going to give him

78
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: ten percent?

79
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: Maybe?

80
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: Maybe?

81
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: But I'm fascinated by how you got into this line

82
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: of work, Matt, did you? And I remember interviewing Barbara

83
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: Streisan once, and I love to find out from people

84
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: who are kind of found their thing when they first

85
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: realized they were good at that thing. And she told me,

86
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: I think growing up in Brooklyn, she was in the

87
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: lobby of her apartment building, and I guess there was

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: a banister and the acoustics were really intense, sort of

89
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: in this lobby, and she sang, and she realized, Oh,

90
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: I sound good, isn't that. It's just so interesting to

91
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: me where you have these gifts and you suddenly realize

92
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: that you have them. So when did you notice that

93
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: you could really do a good job of impersonating people.

94
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I was four years old and I watched Austin Powers seriously,

95
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: so I watched that movie and then I started to

96
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: mimic Fat Bastard and gold Member and Doctor Evil. And

97
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: then basically it just began with me trying to make

98
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: my parents and their friends laugh, and then my teachers,

99
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: and then I would do my grandfather Don Levinson. Hello,

100
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: how you doing. That's him, Yeah, hugely popular in the

101
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: comedy clubs. And then it really does start with trying

102
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: to make my parents laugh. And then I'm just turned

103
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven, like you mentioned, and I'm a product in

104
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: my generation. So I grew up with YouTube, and through

105
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: that I discovered old comedians. I loved Don Rickles and

106
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson and Richard Pryor.

107
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: And make sure you're not seventy two twenty seven.

108
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred years old. I don't know what it

109
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: is now.

110
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: What is it about those guys that when you watched them,

111
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: people like Don Rickles, who I interviewed once and all

112
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: he did was insult me the whole time. And by

113
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: the way, I got to be on the I mean, I'm.

114
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: Your own cushion.

115
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: I was on the teach shows.

116
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Katie Kirk, how you after the show? On the

117
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: program this evening is Katie kurrk She's on. I'm sorry

118
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: now I'm getting.

119
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: I have to say, that was the thrill of a

120
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: lifetime insane.

121
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: Were you attracted to him?

122
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: Was I attracted to him because a lot.

123
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Of people there's a sexual charisma to him?

124
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 5: You know?

125
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: Not really, although I do. I did find him well

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: according to moment.

127
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: We like him a little bit younger. I would say, sorry,

128
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't me again, well, it'll come out later, but

129
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: I did.

130
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: I mean I was. I was almost too an off

131
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: into attraction.

132
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: That's how I feel right now. Yeah, I'm not attracted

133
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: to you, but I'm in awe of you.

134
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: You're not attracted.

135
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: It's both, No, it's both.

136
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

137
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: But yes, I was really thrilled to be on the

138
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: Tonight Show. And So what was it about some of

139
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: these older guys or really legends in comedy that that

140
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: appealed to you when you watch them.

141
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I think number one, it was the era. I mean,

142
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: show business just seems so exciting at that time. There

143
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: were I guess fewer people doing it seemingly, and I

144
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: think just that era of the sixties and the rat

145
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Pack and Sinatra and Vegas and just the importance of

146
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Late Night, but specifically the Tonight Show format in general

147
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: in terms of breaking new stand up comedians. And I

148
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: also loved that that show, specifically Carsons Tonight Show, it

149
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: was less about a promotional vehicle and more about generating

150
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: authentically hilarious moments. Frank Sinatra and Don Rickles were on

151
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, and Rickles tells a story of

152
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: how he was younger at a restaurant. He asks Sinatra,

153
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: who he sow at a restaurant to impress the girl

154
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: he was with. So he said to Frank, can you

155
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: come over and say hi to this girl helped me out?

156
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: And then Sinatra comes over to the table and says, hey,

157
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: don how are you? And Rickles says, can you see

158
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm eating Frank and then he turns him away. And

159
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: it was just but that's like one little story of

160
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: why I loved that.

161
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: Era jo and as something was sort of so pure

162
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 3: about that time, where you didn't feel like they were

163
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: making fun that much at someone else's expense, Right, It

164
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: just was a kinder, gentler era comedy vicious.

165
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh well he.

166
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: Could, You're right, But now I feel like that was

167
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: his stick, you know, like he was he was like,

168
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: what was it the insult Dog?

169
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: What he was? The merchant of venom they call them.

170
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what was the.

171
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: Name of the Triumph?

172
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

173
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: Try It was like Triumph the Insult Dog before Triumph existed?

174
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Right?

175
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: Yes, So anyway, so you started impressing your parents and

176
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: making them laugh.

177
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: Can you still do a lot of Austin powers people.

178
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: A little bit?

179
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

180
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: I just did a movie actually last week with Seth Green,

181
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: and so I was getting to do a lot of

182
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: doctor Evil in my fantasies.

183
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: Okay, well, can you do a little of doctor I didn't.

184
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Spend six years in evil medical school to be called

185
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: mister thank you very.

186
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: Much in himself.

187
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be tough. You can, really, I

188
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: got to figure it out.

189
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: You can't do Mike Myers's Often Powers.

190
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: It's been so long.

191
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: Do I make you harm?

192
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

193
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Baby, I gotta figure we'll circle back to it.

194
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: One thing you might not know about me, Matt is

195
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: I did have a cameo in Austin Power's Gold Member.

196
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: I played a prison guard. I had a unibrow, and

197
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: I had to stop Frau and Doctor Evil from making

198
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: out in prison.

199
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: And my big line it was like.

200
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Me stopping you and Moelner from making out the us open.

201
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: It's really hard for us to keep our hands off.

202
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: That was no.

203
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: You want to know what my line was?

204
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: What was the line?

205
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, they were like making out like

206
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: crazy to that song Evil Woman anyway, and I had

207
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: this sort of polyester prison guard outfit on, as I said,

208
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: with a unibrow, and I walked up and this was

209
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 3: my line.

210
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: Time's up.

211
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: And that was it. But Mike Myers was so fun

212
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: to work with because we did some mirror exercises and

213
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: he's like, I'm the kitten.

214
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: You're a kitten. I'm a kitten. You're a kit to.

215
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: As in costume and character like yeah.

216
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: He was, Yes, he was so funny, and that was

217
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: That was one of the highlights of my career. Matt,

218
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: that is so much for anchoring the CBS Evening News.

219
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: But anyway, I can't believe you don't do Austin Powers anything. Now.

220
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: I know you're really see this is Katie, she breaks

221
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: the news. You know, I talk about this movie all

222
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: the time. I haven't done that one in a long time.

223
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's okay. You're pretty good at work.

224
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: In my mind, I'm not gonna make that joke. Okay, good, Okay, okay,

225
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: I have a filter. Go ahead, Okay, good.

226
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: So you obviously started doing Trump, which was like mana

227
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: from heaven.

228
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, in a way.

229
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: So when you start to do an impression or learn

230
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: how to really have someone's mannerism since speaking voices, how

231
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: do you do it?

232
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 4: Do you watch videos them?

233
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: My sister called me a glorified parrot.

234
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: Recently really so, I mean, do you do you immerse yourself?

235
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 6: I do?

236
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean I watched so much content, like, for instance,

237
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: I would watch this podcast on YouTube. I spend so

238
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: much time in front of my iPad my computer watching

239
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: again old talk shows, YouTube clips, and I watch a

240
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of you know, television. But also there's also has

241
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: to be substance behind what I'm saying, right So, It's

242
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: one thing to get a voice down or to get

243
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: the essence of somebody down, but the writing actually has

244
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: to matter. Like when we did the video that in

245
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: the case of Trump together, I think part of the

246
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: highlight was maybe the substance of what I was saying

247
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: right now, It's so true, you have to get what

248
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, right so, but a lot of it

249
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: has spent watching. Then I'll walk down the street as.

250
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: Like I walk down the street as King Choles, and

251
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: it just happens, you know, King Charles comes out of me.

252
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 7: I don't know why, but I just I con told

253
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 7: my body and I just look at the clothes and

254
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 7: I think it's great to be the King. I don't know,

255
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 7: it just it just comes out.

256
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: It's weird, But you're right, I think you have to

257
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: be smart and kind of not only impersonate the voice,

258
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: but you have to truly get in character.

259
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Yes, you do, right, which in my case because I

260
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: love the political stuff. So it's also an awareness of

261
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: exactly what is happening in our world and being able

262
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: to be super tuned in like Peter Jennings and just

263
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: tune into what people are talking about. And I also

264
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: want to know who's relevant, you know, like I do

265
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: a lot of older impressions, but like what like I

266
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: don't think Rodney Dangerfield is really lowered beel from the network.

267
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: You've got to get mad. You've got to get mad. Sorry,

268
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: that's weird, h I love, I want you to get

269
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: up now. Yeah, but say I'm mad as hell and

270
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take it anymore, you know, Like that's weird.

271
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: But then I look at who's younger, like Timothy Shalame,

272
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Austin Butler. Those are actors that are people are talking

273
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: about more.

274
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: But also you, I mean you get there sort of

275
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: as you just did with Prince Charles. You do get

276
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: kind of the way they move their bodies and contort themselves.

277
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: For example, there are some physical one like for I

278
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: do want impression to seduce women. This is how I

279
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: get laid. And I'm gonna warn you, Katie. I know

280
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: what every.

Speaker 4: Woman and it's making me hot already.

282
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Well, every woman in America I found wants to have

283
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: sex with this man.

284
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 5: Do it?

285
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Wait?

Speaker 6: Wait is this well this is a Kentucky Schenator, Mitch McConnell.

288
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 6: Let me begin by stating what a privilege it is

289
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 6: to be aware.

290
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Katie.

291
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 6: Today, I've observed your journalistic questions, whether it's to share

292
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 6: a pair, letting, or any number of illuminaries in our

293
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: society today. You always know how to get the best.

Speaker 3: Oh you're having that moment, Mitch, come back, come back, mitche.

00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: You're right?

297
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: Yes, there there are physical ones.

298
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also like I know, like when you do

299
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: Timothy Chalomy you kind of hold your.

00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,840

301
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody won the ostre.

00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: He just right.

303
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: He's always like squeezing in his face, like Katie is

304
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: SENI delight. It's creepy. But then when I'm near a microphone,

305
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,320

00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: of the Golden Globes because he still sounds like Elvis.

321
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: He's from Anaheim and he dogs like this.

322
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: It was such an honor to be playing the role

323
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: of Elvis and bez Lerman's Elvis Presley. Katiekirk is a

324
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: great legend of journalism and I love so.

325
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,880

00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about Katie?

00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: She's a beauty, right, I Like, when you go.

Speaker 1: She is one of the great beauties. I will tell

343
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: you she looks fantasic. Go ahead, ask the question.

344
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: Well, go ahead, I mean tell me.

345
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: About like you want to talk about his person, like

346
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: the way he speaks, the way he his mannerisms, the

347
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: kind of expressions uses, the way he pauses, the way

348
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: he kind of you know when yeah, tell me all

349
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: about it.

350
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: So there's a I say this in my standup, But

351
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: if you want to sound like him, to accurately do

352
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: a Trump impression. You just have to mispronounce big words

353
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: whenever you're talking. So I was imagining Trump summarizing the

354
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: plot of Harry Potter, and he would just be there

355
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: was a boy wizard named Terry Pooter befriended these lefty loons,

356
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Rune and hermany they were pigs, went to this school.

357
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Who wats terrible? The headmaster Elbows stumbled, probably gay, okay,

358
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: and that's him doing that. And then he proved my

359
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: thesis because he called hamas hummus, which was interesting, and

360
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: I just wanted him to keep naming random foods like

361
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: hummus needs to be destroyed. The leader of Hummus, Baba Ganush,

362
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: is a nasty guy. It's the worst invasion since Tika

363
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Massala in the nineties. Tika Massala is also the name

364
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: of JD. Vance, his wife's sister Ushe Tika Massala Vance.

365
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: We love the Indians, great people, right. So the thing

366
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: about Trump is I use it, I like when you go.

367
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: I use him to say things I can't say as

368
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: myself because any other person would be their career would end.

369
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: Right.

370
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: But so like whenever politically incorrect.

371
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: Well, this is a good thing for your audience. So

372
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: whenever you're frustrated or in a situation where you just

373
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: you can't find a way to release your anger, say

374
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: it is Trump, and you might even win a third term.

375
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Like I was on a plane last week, very upset

376
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: with my seat because while I was sitting next to

377
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: a fat pig of a woman. Honestly, she was terrible.

378
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: She looked like a combination of Chris Christie and Rosie o'donald.

379
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: But I didn't say it. Trump said it, So it's

380
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: completely fine. Now again, it's not me saying it, you know.

381
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. I go on Fox News, I

382
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: go on Katie Kirk, I go on MSNBC, and I

383
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: remind everybody I'm just repeating exactly what he has said.

384
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: So people, are you making fun of him? How could

385
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: you say that? Well, the President said it, so I'm

386
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: using his own words.

387
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: But he had never said that. Did he say Rosie

388
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: o'donald and Chris Christy had a baby?

389
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: Not exactly like that. That's me merging terminology or merging

390
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: his words. But he's had a lot of words for

391
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: both of those two people.

392
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: Now I know that you've never met Donald J.

393
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: Trump.

394
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: I have not, and would you like to meet him?

395
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 3: And if so, would you do your impersonation for him?

396
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: Wow? Katie Kirk has great questions. Well, I'm supposed to

397
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: be putin at Kremlin next week, so no, I'm not,

398
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: but I like, can you do this? Sucks? My sin

399
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: War meeting got canceled. But we're supposed to ry Hanuka again. Yeah, wah,

400
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: you're coming over. No but uh no, but really So

401
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: I met Obama. Uh and that was an incredible experience.

402
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: That's the closest I've ever gotten to being like Katie Couric.

403
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: So I got to do my Obama next to Obama.

404
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I got to sing Amazing Grace with him, amay Ze Grace.

405
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: It was great. He was a good sport.

406
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: Where where was that?

407
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: That was in Chicago? And then I debated him as

408
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Trump and that was just it was incredible an event.

409
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: So it was ahead of the DNC, and his team

410
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: reached out I think they were trying to get a

411
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: get out the vote thing, and then they reached out

412
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: to me and I think a couple other people, and

413
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: then I got to go at a hotel. We met

414
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: at a hotel in Chicago and there were security, but

415
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: you wouldn't really know he was there. And then I

416
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: go up like fifteen floors. I'm waiting in this private area,

417
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: and then probably forty five minutes pass and then I

418
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: can hear that voice. It almost sounds like the TV

419
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,239
Speaker 1: is on. And then I walk into the room and

420
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: there's coming in so it's very well lit, and it

421
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: looked like a mirage. It looked like I felt like

422
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: I was hallucinating. It didn't feel real. And then Obama's

423
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: just standing there and his assistant is off to the side.

424
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: He goes, Matt, how are you what are we going

425
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: to do today? Thank you get in here, and then

426
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: he goes, Michelle, and I are watching some of your videos.

427
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: It's very funny, and I'm like freaking out like it's

428
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: it was crazy. And then I go, well, I want

429
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: to do you next to you. So the camera starts

430
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: to roll and I go, hey, everybody, this Barack Obama

431
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: and I am here with Then he looks and goes, actually,

432
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm Barack Obama, and then I basically did three of

433
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: his biggest moments right next to him, and I go.

434
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: Tonight. More than two hundred years after a former colony

435
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: won the right to determine its own destiny, the task

436
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: of perfecting our union moves.

437
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: I memorize his entire twenty twelve acceptance speech, and then

438
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: I did him saying that's what I do when he

439
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: made a three point shot, and then I sang amazing

440
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: grace and it was just like surreal. And then we

441
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: debated as Trump at Obama and I said, you know,

442
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I have a much better golf game than you, actually, Barack,

443
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: I do, and he said, well, how about those crowd sizes?

444
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Take a look at those. And then the video ended,

445
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: and then I tried to do Mitch McConnell and he

446
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: actually looked at me. So I'm in the room with

447
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and I want to do one more video.

448
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: I take out my Mitch mcconnald glasses and I go, Barack,

449
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: good to show you again.

450
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: And he looks at me and goes, no, we can't

451
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: do that. That is giving me serious PTSD. Put those away.

452
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: That's freaking me out. So that was surreal. Now meeting Trump,

453
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: you know, I have not met him. I think he's

454
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: a Well that's the thing.

455
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: If I met Trump, I would want to do exactly

456
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: what I did with Obama, which is I would want

457
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: to do what he does, and I'm not sure he

458
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: could necessarily handle it, because again, I would say to him,

459
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you look a little bit like a fat pig. I

460
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: would say, you're a little bit a little overweight, you're

461
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: a little heavy. Shit, the makeup is drifting off. We

462
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: call you, uh, just tweak. You're a weak guy, You're tired.

463
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: I might ask about the bruise on his hand.

464
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: The bruise, it's bruising. It's terrible. But I don't know, like,

465
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if he could handle

466
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: it comedically, you know.

467
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: And maybe if you if you didn't call him fat,

468
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 3: maybe if you could.

469
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: But but but but what would he do? See I

470
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: get into the mind of the person. You think he

471
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. Oh no, he That's what I'm saying.

472
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: I like to do to do justice to the character

473
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: I hear you. All I'm doing, as I remind audience,

474
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: is I'm just repeating stuff that he he would say.

475
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: But obviously it would be tough to envision myself actually

476
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: calling him fat next to him. But uh, if given

477
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: the opportunity to meet him, it'd be It'd be an

478
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: interesting question because look what happened to Jimmy fallon not

479
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: too pretty with the with the hair tussling thing. Because

480
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: we're in a very divided society, and I've been kind

481
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: of trying to thread the needle a little bit, because

482
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: if you go into the lions Den like that, then

483
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: it's a different it's a different level. I don't know

484
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: if there's an offer, I guess we'll, as he would say,

485
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at it. We'll take a look

486
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: at it.

487
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: How about Joe Biden. I know that he's but is

488
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: he more difficult?

489
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: But I did meet him.

490
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: No, what's it like impersonating him? Well, you have to

491
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: change with the volume of your voice, right, Yeah, Sometimes

492
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: he'll say something really that and then yeah.

493
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: He'll lean like it's no joke. We'd beat medicare, come on.

494
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: I was doing a bit on Biden. He was more

495
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: difficult to do. I think that's why he was less

496
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: comedically tapped into by people. But I did a bit

497
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: on Biden that I was always amazed that he was

498
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: eating children's desserts, such such serious moments, like he was

499
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: always eating ice cream, And toward the end of his

500
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: campaigner report goes President Biden, when will there be a ceasefire,

501
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: and he was holding a dripping scoop of ice cream.

502
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: Then he took a bite out of the cone, but

503
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: the ice cream fell on the floor, so he just

504
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: took a bite out of the air. So he was like,

505
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: seize far Monday. Ice Cream's on the floor, And I'm thinking,

506
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: there's never been a time in American history where an

507
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: elected official has eaten a children's dessert like this.

508
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: You know, have you listened to Josh Sapiro and how

509
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: much he sounds pencil.

510
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: He's like a Jewish Obama. But Newsom kind of has

511
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of that.

512
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 4: Well can you do?

513
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is kind of like Will Arnette from SmartLess,

514
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: the actor from Smartletts. Gavin news Donald Trump is a bully,

515
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: he's a fraud, He's a narcissist. Yeah, but Will's over here.

516
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 3: But but Will is super real Will. I don't think

517
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: Gavin is quite as rad Will interesting.

518
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't think just like when Gavin's wife speaks Spanish,

519
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: I find it funny very white woman or not so.

520
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: Jennifer Cheba, I'm like, I love the she has like

521
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: sort of an accent to it. It's it's incredible, But

522
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: he's a good looking guy.

523
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah Yeahvin Newsome, Yeah he's got he's got, he's got

524
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: that pat Riley here.

525
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: He does right, he's slick.

526
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And I guess that's part of the criticism

527
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: of him.

528
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: But a question for you, Katy, Yes, yes, of course,

529
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,359

Speaker 3: I was interested, you know, just as I'm interested in

630
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: when you realized you could impersonate people, or Barbara Streisan

631
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: realize she could sing. I was interested in what had

632
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: shaped her political ideology.

633
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: Yes, So the.

634
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: Question was what newspapers and magazines do you read on

635
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: I think on a regular basis that have helped shape

636
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: your worldview?

637
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: This is in credible, asked me the question. I'm so

638
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: excited about that.

639
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, go ahead, Governor Palin. Yes, what newspapers and

640
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: magazines do you read on a regular basis that have

641
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: help shape your world view?

642
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Q andon? Truth? Social and q Andon? Yeah? You bet

643
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: the way to do it, you bet you.

644
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: I could never understand why she didn't say I first

645
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: and foremost, I read all the publications about Alaska because

646
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: my my responsibility is to my constituents.

647
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: Yes, as governor.

648
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: And then of course I read every major newspaper in

649
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: the country. And I'm a I like to I'm just

650
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: so intellectually curious. I like to google everything, and I

651
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: so my sources are really wide and varied.

652
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: It's it is interesting to look back on these iconic

653
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: interviews that you've conducted and I think how people answered

654
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: questions in that. I hope I don't look back at

655
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: this and I'm not running for anything, but I mean, yeah,

656
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: but you you do have a way you can lock in,

657
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: like for me if I were to answer that question.

658
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: I truthfully, I'm consuming like everything because I want to

659
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: know what all people are thinking. Because if you're in

660
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: your echo chamber eco echo chamber, uh then you then

661
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: you you really, I think you lose a lot you

662
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: miss out on because especially as a touring comedian like

663
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: I want to be able to make different audiences laugh

664
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: and that's the challenge. So I want to see what

665
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: Peter and Steve Doocey are thinking. And I want to

666
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: see sure you did yes in Washington. Unbelievable, of course,

667
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: you see unbelieve It's just it's out of control. It's

668
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Uh well it's just your ledge.

669
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: I'm so old and I think you are the.

670
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: Ship, Katie Kirk is the ship. That's what the podcast

671
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: should have been called.

672
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, what maybe we'll remake the.

673
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: Best, but but I want to I want to be

674
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: able to talk to a variety of people. So, I mean,

675
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I watched so much MSNBC, I watched I want Fox News,

676
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: I watch CNN, I watch Katie Kurk, I watch it

677
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: just all pops up, and I think it's just also

678
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: a generational byproduct, like it's all coming at me on

679
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: TikTok and on YouTube. But also obviously reading the failing

680
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, so.

681
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: They're not taking it easy on President Trump. No, No,

682
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: Emma Tucker, the new editor in chief, I think has

683
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: really done some great reporting on Trump. But you know,

684
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 3: getting back to Sarah Palin, I know, I always sort

685
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: of thought if she I mean, she could have answered

686
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 3: the question in two ways. She could have talked about

687
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: what she reads, but she could have also said, I

688
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: was really influenced by Ronald Reagan and his speeches government,

689
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: you know, or William F. Buckley was really you know,

690
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 3: and believe it or not, Katie, I've been very influenced

691
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: by the Bible because a lot of my sort of

692
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 3: life philosophy is fundamentally in the Bible and the life

693
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: lessons that it imparts or something.

694
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: Right.

695
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: Well, what's amazing about this moment in particular, and this

696
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: relates back to Trump, is that in the case of

697
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin, that was a moment that arguably was a

698
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: defining moment for her that interview, Whereas with Trump, he's

699
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: had so many of those moments and we don't even

700
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: remember it. For example, President or mister Trump, he wasn't

701
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: president yet. What is your favorite Bible verse? Well, I

702
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: know the Bible very well. There's like so many, but

703
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of them, actually, and I'm a

704
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: big fan of it. Honestly, I wrote it, but I'm

705
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: a big fan of it, and it's tough to pick.

706
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: And like we write, he's a master and not answering

707
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: question Like if you ask me a very serious question,

708
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, like I could do it as him

709
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: in the way that he never does it. That's why

710
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: I want to debate him, actually, because all these Republicans

711
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: they tried to challenge him, and I'm thinking I'm the

712
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: only one that could do it.

713
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you again, mister President, do you

714
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 3: worry about developed?

715
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: Look it up beautiful When she asked the question, Look

716
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: at that smile such a and she smells great too.

717
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: She's a beauty. Look at her.

718
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: Are you worried about forging such a close personal relationship

719
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: with Vladimir Putin? Given such an animosity that he.

720
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: You have animosity towards me, Katie? Go ahead?

721
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: How do you feel?

722
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: How do you I mean, do you worry about that?

723
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: And really kind of changing the global order as it

724
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: has stood since the end of World War two?

725
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Well, I said, I said, a couple of days ago,

726
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: I said, Vladimir, you're going to have to end at Vladimir,

727
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: you're going to put this thing doing. So you got

728
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: to talk to these people, Katie. If you don't talk

729
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: to them, then you're in real trouble. You're in real trouble.

730
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: So you got to talk to them. I know him

731
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: very well. He said, we're going to end this very quickly.

732
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be very easy. We're going to end

733
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: it quickly. I want to go to heavan, Katie.

734
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: Do you feel like he's playing youdent talking?

735
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Men are talking. Okay, he's playing all of us, but

736
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play me because we're gonna end it

737
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: beautifully and very bigly. And well, that's why we're getting

738
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: the DC patrol at. We got the patrol at. We're

739
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: going to look at what's happening, these bigger problems. They

740
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: said my health was a problem. You know who's healths

741
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: AP problem? Put his health SIP problem. Okay, not my health.

742
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm in perfect health and you know it. Fake news.

743
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Next question, Sorry, go ahead, I'm in character. Let's keep talking.

744
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: You see, he didn't say anything right right.

745
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: In fact, I just watched a clip where somebody asked

746
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 3: a question and he just started talking and rambling and

747
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 3: he didn't answer it at all.

748
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. It's very weird. But that's why

749
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting for me to debate him, because like

750
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: if I met him as him, i'd want to meet

751
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: him in that format because I think I can do

752
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: him like he could do himself. Yeah, and I think

753
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: I can get under his skin. You've done such a

754
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: great job with your interviews. But I've always wondered that,

755
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: like why aren't people challenging him, but also on the

756
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: democratic side, like just doing what he does, Like the

757
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: whole one they go go high thing was always so

758
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: stupid to me, like you just got to go right

759
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: back at him.

760
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: Well, Gavin Newsom is doing that. I just saw Ron

761
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: Brownstein on Bloomberg talking about this new breed of politician

762
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: called a confrontational centrist, and he was saying that he

763
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: thought that was the best way to beat Trump, to

764
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 3: not go further to the left but kind of take

765
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: him on but not lose your sort of centrists.

766
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Is this breaking news?

767
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 4: No? No, no, But I you.

768
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: Know, I would say eight years ago they should have

769
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: done that. Yeah. But that's why I would have loved

770
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: to have seen an Obama Trump matchup, because I feel

771
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: like he has he had that inquality, just to kind

772
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: of go right back in a really cool, non forced,

773
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: non cringey way.

774
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 3: Hi everyone, it's me Katie Couric. You know, if you've

784
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: go too deep into politics. But I'm curious why you

785
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: believe you know, you were talking about Donald Trump not

786
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: being able to come up with the Bible passage or

787
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: doing things that would have really destroyed any other candidate

788
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: or any other president. Really, and why do you think

789
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 3: people forgive all these things that he does and they

790
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: he's he's more teflon than teflon.

791
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer. I think it's like it's

792
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: it's like a it's he's just a complete anomaly in

793
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: our society. I don't think there's anyone that's going to

794
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: ever like, maybe this is a naive thing, because there's

795
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: always a leader or someone that sucks oxygen. But especially

796
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: in the moment we're in now with social media and

797
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: how much attention he's been able to gather for himself,

798
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: he's such an anomaly. There's no one that has been

799
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: able to suck as much oxygen and also get just

800
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: a group consistently get away with saying the things that

801
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: he does, whether you like it or not, it's like

802
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable.

803
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, I think he's a living example of all press

804
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: being good press. Like he doesn't. He doesn't really care

805
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: what you think about him as long as you're talking

806
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: about Yeah, that's true, as long as he's living rent

807
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 3: free in all of our brains.

808
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: Right, it's it's it's really wild. It's weird, wild stuff,

809
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: thanks Johnny, spiky stuff.

810
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: That is funny, funny struck.

811
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: It's funny, funny stuff. What about?

812
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 4: All right? I got to ask you for a couple

813
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 4: of more.

814
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: No, I want to I don't want this to end.

815
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Bernie game, I know you do.

816
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: Bernie.

817
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 4: He's conducting a small Jewish orchestra.

818
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: God, Katie's so good.

819
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 4: I did my research back Bernie centers.

820
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: He always sounds like he's conducting a very tiny Jewish

821
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: orchestra with his hands all the damn time. I always

822
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: worried that Trump will insult Bernie and it will literally

823
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: kill him on the spot. Like this guy looks like

824
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: he's having a heart attack. Oh that's because I actually

825
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: am having a heart attack right now. And I apologize

826
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 1: for blowing out the microphone. Yeah what uh? Some people,

827
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, they were designed for comedy. He was designed

828
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: for comedy.

829
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 4: What about Jeff Goldbloom.

830
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: Yes, and you lost over Ted Cruz. How dare you?

831
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

832
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, yeah, I dare you? Okay, talk to me, as.

833
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: I said, Donald Trump, I said, here's what, here's what

834
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: I think about Ted Cruiz, Ted Cruz. There everybody's talking about.

835
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 1: There needs to be a mental and mental acuity test

836
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: for the President's either saying there's be a physical test

837
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: for the presidency. I think there needs to be a

838
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: vocal requirement because you cannot sound like Ted Cruz and

839
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: lead the free world. Donald Trump may have called my

840
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: wife an ugly pig back in the day, but by god,

841
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: he's right, he is right. I don't see it either.

842
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: Now again, I'm pretty sure he did call his wife ugly, right, right, Okay,

843
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: But anyways, I don't think you can sound like this.

844
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go to can kun. Let let let's wrap

845
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: this interview up right now. That nasal it's ridicted Ted Cruz.

846
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: Do solemnly sweat like that's just not going to work. Yeah, yeah,

847
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: it's that's a tough one. Need I would do my

848
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: JD Evans, but I forgot my eyeliner in my apartment.

849
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to ask you about Jady Vance

850
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 3: because I'm thinking someone who has selective memory, like Ted

851
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: Cruz when he's insulted. I mean jd Vance said.

852
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: That Donald Trump, you know as my me, mom my, peepa,

853
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: my wie wan my woah wee wa, would all agree

854
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is he was. I did say he was

855
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: America's hitler, but now I know that the way he

856
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: talks to Usha, I mean, he's a great guy. And

857
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: if I could have dinner with anybody throughout all of

858
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: world history, it'd be him. It really would be on

859
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: behalf of all senators in this country today. I mean it,

860
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: I do. I don't know he's I'm gonna work on him.

861
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: He's going to get better.

862
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 4: No, I think that's frue the obscure.

863
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: Ones like Chuck Grassley. Chuck Grassley during the Kavanaugh hearings. Okay,

864
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: Janator lay, Jannator lay, We're going to be mar shooting

865
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: to the floor. Janator lay, Chuck grass like we really

866
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: do have. I talked about this on said cho I

867
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 1: think we have a problem in our government. You could

868
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: say this as agist, but I think we have a

869
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: legitimate geriatric Congress, and it needs to be to take care.

870
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: We need to take a look at it. I mean

871
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle. I mean Ruth Bader

872
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 1: Ginsburg dying on the job, Diane Feinstein, Trump and Biden.

873
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a problem.

874
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think people want term limits.

875
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: I think we have term limits. But also like it

876
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: is interesting and you can see the the the generational

877
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: gap really shines whenever there's these technology hearings and they

878
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: invite like a young tech executive or CEO to come

879
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: in and testify, like Chuck Grassley. We'll interview the CEO

880
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: of TikTok, like mister PF Chang okay, mister General cho

881
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: is checking. Oh he's Chinese. Okay. I understand that China

882
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: is stealing and manipulating our data, But how do I

883
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: turn the brightness up on my iPhone? Like he's asking

884
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: basic tech questions. This isn't the genius bar. So it

885
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: feels very weird. We have AI, we have a lot

886
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: of future technological challenges.

887
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 4: But is some of this material in the world what

888
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 4: you're using?

889
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: It's all right in itself. It's Tim Cook going to

890
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: the White House. Oh yeah, mister President, We're so thrilled

891
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: all the work you've been doing to expand technology globally.

892
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Here's a gift we've given you. It's a it's a

893
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: gold plate, like what didn't even like a gold plate

894
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: or something.

895
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: I thought he gave him an apple, So you guys,

896
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 3: didn't he give him an apple?

897
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: A gold apple?

898
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: But Sam Altman like all these people again, it's like

899
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: the world. It's it's literally writing itself. It's it's wild politically.

900
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, but gold Well, you know, I did notice that

901
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 3: you do very few women.

902
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: What context tell me about your sex. Let's get into it.

903
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: Come on, but you know you.

00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: He's been huge advocate for me and he's put me

938
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: on the carpet and I've just got to do my thing.

939
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: It's kind of what vintage SNL was like, where you

940
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: can do the person next to the person.

941
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, by the way, I was going to

942
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: ask you, I'm surprised that nobody has called you, although

943
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: I think the guy who does Trump on SNL is excellent.

944
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: You know, I was always a Barbara Walters fan, more

945
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: of a barber than a Katy. You like how that felt?

946
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 6: Katie?

947
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: Did you like how that fell? I'm going to call

948
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: up Savannah. Let's end this going over to the Today Show. No,

949
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: he's got James Austin Jensen. Very three names, yes, three names, yes,

950
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: three terms, three names.

951
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: Would you like to do that on SNL?

952
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean it was always my dream as a kid,

953
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: but now, like again your proof of the changing world,

954
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: and like, look at what Katie Kirk is doing. You

955
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: create your own show, your own format. I'm again, I'm

956
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: just a product of my generation where I always wanted

957
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: to do it, but it's such a different world now

958
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: and to have the opportunities that I have created, and.

959
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 4: I'm not buying it, Matt, I'm not buying it.

960
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: No.

961
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 3: Jeff Lauren Michaels called you and was like, Yo, Matt, Yeah, yeah,

962
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 3: I mean I want you to audition for SNL. I'm

963
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: sure you'd be like, oh my god.

964
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a different world to be honest,

965
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: I really do, really, I really do.

966
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 4: You wouldn't want to be on SNL.

967
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: I think it'd be interesting. I mean, I'm not going

968
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: to be chasing it at this point, but I think

969
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: it'd be a really fun experience. I mean, especially given

970
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: the history of it and also like the nature of

971
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: my skill set and what I do, but I got

972
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: to be focused on what I can control.

973
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 3: Do you think you you know, other than impersonating? I

974
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: know you did some stuff with Second.

975
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: City right now, I interned there.

976
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, did you have any desire to kind of

977
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 3: pursue acting more?

978
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. Yeah, I'm starting because you know, you

979
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: got to start somewhere. So I've just been been building

980
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: and twenty seven now and I've created this platform for

981
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: myself and now I'm creating content I'm doing carpet interviews.

982
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm doing voiceover just to my first movie last week.

983
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, what movie was it?

984
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: Can you talk called Grace period to rom com starring

985
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: Ashley Green and Seth Green.

986
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 4: Oh well that's right, you said, Seth Green. Yeah, and

987
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 4: what do you play in it?

988
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: I play this younger Sioux chef to Seth Green, who

989
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: is a chef who falls in love with this woman

990
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: played by Ashley Green who is going through the egg

991
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: freezing process and then she meets the right guy at

992
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: the right time, and I'm like the younger roommate who

993
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: has a lot of sex and has a lot of jokes.

994
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 4: Sounds like a good part.

995
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: It's great, But it was really surreal and fun experience.

996
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: And I'm very focused on my stand up now yeah

997
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: and doing my first hour. But to answer the Asino question,

998
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: obviously that would be a really cool, like dream come true,

999
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: But I got to be focused on what I can control.

1000
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you're right, you can go directly to an

1001
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 3: audience and kind of do your thing without somebody kind

1002
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 3: of giving you permission to do that.

1003
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 4: Right. So we were talking about Jennifer Cooley.

1004
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Yes on the Globes. Yeah, I've gotten to do my

1005
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: impression next to the actual person on the globes, and

1006
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: so I did Coolidge next to Coolidge, and the news

1007
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: broke because people didn't realize that she had a regular

1008
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: sounding voice, because she's always like, oh god, oh, Katie

1009
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: Kurk's the best. Fuck oh God. And I did Jennifer

1010
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: Coolidge after sipping on a cold drink. So I just go, ah,

1011
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: that's it. That was the entire And then I did

1012
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: Goldbloom next to goldbluem I do Goldblom core Katie Kuric,

1013
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: wonderful journalist, iconic, very beautiful. Yes, of course I have

1014
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: a wife, Emily, Emily Goldbloom, Olympic contortionist. As Sandy Meisner,

1015
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: my acting teacher said, have ever given the platform to

1016
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: appear on Katie Kirk Tell her she's fantastic, She's wonderful.

1017
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: There may be trouble ahead. He speaks in jazz and orgasm.

1018
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Goldbloom, I do have a mild sexual experience whenever

1019
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: I do go something about him. He's the greatest. I've

1020
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: been lucky to do him on Family Guide, on the

1021
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: Simpsons and in a Marvel show. And it's glad he

1022
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: has ensued me but and then I did Paul Giamaty

1023
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: and that was very fun too, Katy, very fun indeed.

1024
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: Oh yes, you know, Katie Kirk is any of your

1025
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: many presidents, many politicians. But today's the first time you'll

1026
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: ever speak to John Adams. Very good. That was really fun. Yeah,

1027
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: so Golden Gloves was Paul Giamatti the cast of Succession.

1028
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,479
Speaker 4: Uh oh, really, can you do Brian fuck off?

1029
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: Fuck off? I do Tom Wam's gams from.

1030
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: Oh Yeah please, because you know he's British, which is

1031
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 3: so interesting.

1032
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: He says, hey, Hoddy, buckle up, fuck ahead. Oh hey, shive,

1033
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: you know I have a dick the size of Red

1034
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: Sequoya and I fuck like a bullet train. That's a

1035
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: quote from Succession. I apologize again I'm quoting the show.

1036
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: But The Gloves has been a huge platform for me

1037
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: and it's been like the highlight of my career. I've

1038
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: loved it. It's been surreal.

1039
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: Well, I am so happy for your success and it's.

1040
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: What it's done. Don't don't want, don't want to. I

1041
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: want to get grill.

1042
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 4: Okay what else I can't?

1043
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 1: I want to be grilled by Katie. I just want

1044
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: one grill. Go ahead, really imagine I just announced that

1045
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm running for president.

1046
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 3: Let's go come on high see I don't know I'm ready,

1047
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: mister friend yep. Obviously, income inequality is a huge problem

1048
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 3: in this country. Most people don't have four hundred dollars

1049
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: to spend in an emergency. Now CEOs are making so

1050
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: much more than their average worker. It's really gotten out

1051
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 3: of control, and I feel in many ways it's made

1052
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: this country right for revolution. How would you solve income

1053
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: inequality in this country and create opportunities for people who

1054
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 3: aren't in the lower rungs socioeconomically.

1055
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: Well, Katie, I'm really glad to ask that question, because

1056
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: if anyone is in a position to talk about income

1057
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: and equality, person who looks like they had a very

1058
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: expensive bar Mitzvah party, I look like if Pickleball was

1059
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: a person, Katie, I looked like the whole cast of

1060
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: succession in one person. So me, the kid from Lincoln Park,

1061
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: isn't a position to talk about income inequality. Katie. I

1062
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: think it's a real problem that we're facing today, and

1063
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: I think that we have to look at this issue

1064
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: as a whole holistically. On the left and on the right.

1065
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: We had to come together because Katie, it's just not right.

1066
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: It's just not right. And before we wrap up this question,

1067
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: i'd like to say, uh, I'm sorry that was that

1068
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: was But before we wrap up, I want to say,

Speaker 1: so cool and uh, what's amazing about you is you

1075
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: have you define an era with your long god no no, no,

1076
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: that's true. That era is Deadlight a Doug, but you

1077
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: define that era and now you're you're defining the next one.

1078
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for having me. This was
