Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but
Starting point is 00:00:26 how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. February 21st, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the daily show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Oh! Oh, welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for coming out. I appreciate you so much, and thank you for tuning in. I'm Trevor Noah.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Let's get into it. Our guest tonight are the creators of Comedy Central's hit new show called The Other Two. Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider joining us everybody. It's a really, really fun show that's getting great reviews. We're going to be chatting about that. Also on the show, Google is secretly listening to you. The series finale of Jesse Smollett and Roywood Jr. is back with another CP time. But first let's catch up on today's headlines. First up, some breaking news about something that, thank God, didn't happen. The U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant is under arrest tonight.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Investigators say he was planning a major attack on innocent civilians and that he had a hit list of prominent names. According to the FBI, Hasson stockpiled these weapons, including 1,000 bullets, handguns and assault rifles. Investigators say they found this hit list on Hassan's computer, containing names of prominent Democrats, as well as a number of 2020 Democratic candidates. The list also containing the names of several journalists from CNN and MSNBC. Roughly a month before his arrest, Hasson Googled topics, including,
Starting point is 00:02:21 are Supreme Court justices protected, where do most senators live in D.C, and civil war if Trump impeached. Holy shit! This is one of the scariest stories of 2019. And it's a reminder that this current political climate is going to drive people to do crazy things. Crazy people, but still they're going to do crazy things. It's also a reminder that your search history will screw you over every time. Yeah, that's why when I search something embarrassing, I make sure to throw them off the trail. I'll be like, where can my friend buy male spanks? That's how I do it. I'll be like, oh, weird poop, not mine though. Honestly, I think the internet has just made killers soft, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Jack the Ripper didn't have Google, no. He had to go to the knife store and talk to a person. He'd be like, what do you recommend to cut up a prostitute-sized deer? Moving on. Climate change. For two years, Americans have been begging President Trump and his administration to take it seriously. Just take climate change seriously.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And yesterday, the White House finally announced that it will create a special panel to do the opposites. A climate change skeptic will lead a White House panel to examine climate change. The Washington Post reports the proposed commission will be led by this man, William Happer. He's on the National Security Council and he believes that carbon emissions linked to climate change should be viewed as an asset rather than a pollutant. And that's not all. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:03:57 The demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler. Carm dioxide is actually a benefit to the world the world and the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world the world. the world. the world. the th. thi. Wea. W. thi, th. I. I. I'm, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. We. Wea, thi. I, thi. I'm, thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm toe. I'm toe. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. Carmid dioxide is actually a benefit to the world, and so were the Jews. I'm sorry, what? Trump is trolling us, right? This can't be real. How is this guy on earth, much less leading a White House climate change panel? He just said that going after climate dioxide is the same as Hitler going after the Jews. And he said it with a straight face. At least I think it was a straight face. It's hard to tell.
Starting point is 00:04:37 No, his face looks like he removed his own skin and then try to put it back on really quickly. I don't even know what's going on there. Like, only the Trump administration would find a guy who is pro-carbon dioxide to lead a climate change panel. Like, who else is on this panel? A farting cow in an actual oil spill? Get the fuck out of here, man. Moving on to some technology news, of your old phone and also of having money, Samsung has some good news for you. Samsung looking to take on Apple by unveiling a new lineup of Galaxy smartphones.
Starting point is 00:05:09 The South Korean electronics giant says the Galaxy Fold will sell for $1,980 when it's released April 26. The device looks like a regular smartphone but then opens to reveal a 7.3 inch display. Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I am excited about this. Yeah, because you realize now we can finally be dramatic when we're hanging up on people. Yeah? Be like, oh yeah, go to hell! BAM! That's how it used to be with landlines. You kids don't remember, but that was the greatest thing about old phones.
Starting point is 00:05:42 You remember that? You end a call with somebody and you could shit on them and be like, screw you! Bang! Bang! Bang, bang! The person could feel it in the air. Ah! Ah, my ass. My ass.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Today's phones don't have the same satisfaction. You're more worried about the phone being heard. Scro you! Eh! It's amazing! Although, I do think tech companies need to decide if they want phones to be big or small, right? Because remember, the first mobile phones were giant, right? And then they got smaller, and then they were like super thin, and then they were like, no, now we need to go bigger and bigger, and then now it's a tablet, and now it's a t bigger tablet. And now, like, next thing you know, people are just going to be walking around with TVs as the new phone. And then it's going to swing back the other way, and phones are going to get so tiny,
Starting point is 00:06:32 it's just going to be like little tiny thing, and you'll swallow it by mistake. Oh, oh, and then your phone will the phone will will will the phone will will will the phone will will will the phone will the phone, we're learning about technology that's coming soon and now we're going to learn about some technology that we didn't know we already had. Some other news hitting home tonight involving Google's Nest Secure Home Security system. Turns out it has a hidden microphone which can be used to access other Google Google told anyone about it. The company tells Business Insider, the mic was never intended to be a secret and should have been disclosed.
Starting point is 00:07:09 You know, tech companies have gotten really good at making sincere apologies for shit they knew or sinister when they did it. In hindsight, our policy of stealing your DNA to make sex clones for Saudi Sheiks should have been disclosed earlier. We really should have told you. Yeah. I wish I had done this every time I got caught shoplifting as a kid. Just be like, Mr. I recognize now that I shouldn't have had this candy in my pocket without paying. And going forward, we vowed to give more attention to this issue. Oh, these chips, I recognize now that it's such bullshit, but they know what they're doing. And what's crazy about all of this is the only reason tech companies are spying on us
Starting point is 00:07:47 is just to get better at advertising to us. That's the only reason they've been doing it. But somehow the advertising isn't improving at all. I don't know about you, but I'm always seeing ads for stuff that I don't need to thi. I'll see an ad for like a baby stroller. I don't need that. I'm a big boy. All right? The worst for me is I always get these ads for penis enlargement creams and I don't need that. Okay, I need a vagina shrinking cream. Why am I the one of the problem? Why am I? It's the motion of the ocean. Don't blame my tiny boat. the the motion. It's. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's the motion. It's to to to to to to to the motion. It's to to to to to to to the motion. It the motion. It's to to the motion.

All right, let's move on to today's top story. Oh, Jussie
Starting point is 00:08:27 Jossie Smollett. A month. A month ago. Few people knew who he was. If you heard Jussie Smollett, you were either talking to a huge fan of the show Empire, or you overheard a drunk guy trying to order an omelette. What will you be having, sir? Jassy Smollett with extra habit. But now, the whole world knows Jussie's name. And it's for all the wrong reasons.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Empire actor Jesse Smollett is in police custody after turning himself in overnight. He is accused of faking a hate crime after his story of being attacked by racist fell to pieces. Smollett has been charged with disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, which is a felony in the state of Illinois. Police say Smollett planned this attack because he was allegedly upset by how much he was being paid by the show Empire. Are you kidding me? This dude may have faked a hate crime just to get a raise? Just to get a raise?
Starting point is 00:09:33 I don't understand. Like, what's the logic there? You get your ass beat, and then you go to your boss and be like, hey, can I get another million dollars? What was the thinking? That's not a good way to get a raise, people. I mean, call me old-fashioned. But whatever happened to just going into your boss's office and blackmailing him with nudes, okay? This is such a petty reason to pull off such a major crime. Imagine if we found out the reason Tupac faked his own death was just to get out of a blockbuster late fee.
Starting point is 00:10:01 That would be insane. We know that didn't happen. What really happened was Tupac was murdered by Blockbuster because he didn't return far as come. Those guys didn't mess around. So Chicago police have put together a story of what they believe really happened. And they're confident enough to charge Smollett. And the reason they're confident enough to charge him is because it looks like Jussie and the brothers who reportedly faked the attack with him left no shortage of incriminating evidence. Police say they track these two brothers down via the rides share car service that
Starting point is 00:10:33 they used. We know that the police have the cell phones of the young men. There were conversations between Smollett and these two Nigerian Americans an hour before the attack, an hour after the attack, and when they traveled to Nigeria. Police say Small Lett paid the brothers a total of $3,500 via a check and then promised a $500 follow-up. They're saying he paid his accomplices with a check. What, did he also write fake hate crime in the memo? Even amateurs know.
Starting point is 00:11:09 If you commit a crime, you go all cash, people. No paper trail. You've never seen a movie where the bad guys are like, I need you to get rid of someone from me. Now, who do I make this check out to? Is that Knuckles with a K? Oh, crap, I gotta start again I keep writing 2018 on all my murder checks. Ah!
Starting point is 00:11:29 So if he did do this, Smollett did a horrible job with this fake crime. In fact, the Chicago police also claimed today that Smollett wanted his hate crime to be caught on camera but it turns out that didn't go right either. Police say they went over security video from dozens of pod cameras, but the staged attack itself was never captured by a rotating security camera. I believe that Mr. Smollett wanted it on camera, but unfortunately that particular camera wasn't pointed in that direction. You're going to be shi-ing me. You've got to be shitting me. He wanted to be caught, but he didn't get caught on camera because he didn't know which
Starting point is 00:12:09 way the camera was pointing. You're an actor. That's your only job. Your only job! How do you not know? Now I'm starting to think that Jussie was probably on the set of Empire like, What do you mean, my father doesn't... Oh, sorry, sorry, where is it?
Starting point is 00:12:29 What do you mean? Don't you tell me about cookie? I think we got this. Can I get a raise? Can I get a raise now? So Jussie is potentially going to prison for a while, and in his wake, he has screwed over everyone. Think about it, members of the gay community are emotionally terrorized over something that turned out to be a hoax. Trump supporters are upset about being falsely accused and Democrat candidates,
Starting point is 00:12:58 tie themselves into knots trying to walk back their initial statements, calling this a modern-day lynching. Nobody won in this thing. I mean, the only winner here really is Subway. Yeah., no, no, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, thi, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. Members, members, thi. Members, members, members, members, thi. Members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, members, th walk back their initial statements calling this a modern-day lynching. Nobody won in this thing. I mean the only winner here really is subway. Yeah. No, because before this story I didn't know that they were open at 2 a.m. Did you guys know that? I didn't know that. I genuinely didn't know that. I genuinely didn't know that. The point is nobody won. But there is a silver lining. When this started out, it was a story about people who hated Jussie Smollett because he was black and gay.
Starting point is 00:13:32 But now, people hate him because he's an asshole. In other words, they're judging him on the content of his character and not the color of his skin. And that, my friends, is progress. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls?
Starting point is 00:14:03 We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with It's February which means it's Black History Month and we're celebrating all month with Roywood Jr. and CP Time. Welcome to CP Time. The only show that's for the culture. Today we'll discuss betrayal. Brutus and Caesar, Tupac and Shug Night,
Starting point is 00:14:50 and most memorably, the Verizon guy going to spread. Betrayal is the subject black Americans are familiar with. For centuries, America's enemies have tried to recruit us against our own country in times of war. It's a devious tactic, much like how Pierre turned my wife against me by telling her stories of my infidelity. Plus Pierre had those lower pelvic muscles that go right to the action zone. I never stood a chance. Hater. Turning black Americans against America is as old as America itself.
Starting point is 00:15:29 During the Revolution, the British told American slaves that if they fought for the empire, they could have freedom and land after the war. And when you're a slave, those are the most valuable offers you can get. It goes freedom, land, and bed-bathing beyond coupons. This coupon is from 1983, and it's still good. The first British official to make this offer was the governor of Virginia Lord Dunmore.
Starting point is 00:16:03 His concept of free and slaves was radical, but then again Dunmore had a lot of radical ideas, like wearing knee-high argyle socks. Look at that man. He's out there in 1775 looking like Andrei 3000. Even after slavery ended, America's enemies kept trying to recruit black folk. During World War I, the Germans wrote propaganda letters to black soldiers trying to recruit black folk. During World War I, the Germans wrote propaganda letters to black soldiers trying to persuade them to leave America and fight for Germany. Here's what they wrote. Do you enjoy the same rights as the white people do in America?
Starting point is 00:16:39 Or aren't you razor treated over their second class? Bet you didn't know I spoke fluent German. But the Germans couldn't convince black people to go to Germany, which is probably for the best. Black people would not have done well under Hitler. Because we couldn't have helped ourselves from roasting his ass. I mean, look at him. Look who hit a third of puberty.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I didn't know you could get a Brazilian on your face. Oh, boy, you look like you went down on a magic marker. Ah! Hitler, you look a damn fool. Boy, you should kill yourself. Even America's enemies today tried to recruit black people. After the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, ISIS offered to send over soldiers to fight for black people if we join their caliphate.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I won't lie to you. For a moment, the offer from ISIS was tempted. But then I remember there's no pork in Islam. While America has its problems, America makes a good-ass spare rib. Yes, she does. Damn right, she makes it good. Spare rib. Well, that's all the time we have for today.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I'm Roywood Jr. And this has been CP time. And remember, with further culture and ribs. God damn, that's spicy. Goddardin' is spicy. theoretical is spicy. the today's it. the show. the too-writory,
Starting point is 00:18:14 we'll be right back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight are the co-creators and co-writers of the critically acclaimed Comedy Central Series The Other Two. Please welcome Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider. Welcome to the show. Thank you, thanks for having us. And congratulations on your new show. It's gotten some great reviews which is not easy to do. I think it's sitting at 93% on rotten tomatoes, which is really good. We don't check every day, thank you for telling us.
Starting point is 00:18:59 No, I check every single today. Thank you so much. But it really has gotten great reviews. And the show show the show the show the show th show th show th show th show th show th show th show thi show thi s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s si thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoes. thoes. to to to to to to to to to to to to to tooes. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thooooooooooooo. the. too. too. too. too. to, thank you so much. But it really has gotten rare reviews and the show for those who haven't seen it is a story of siblings who have a younger sibling who is becomes internet famous overnight and just becomes famous, famous. Yes. Right? How do you how do you begin to write the story that really feels like it's based completely on real life? Well, in terms of like the YouTube world, we spent a lot of like long days diving deep into like true YouTubeers and what their videos look like and what their trajectory looks like and all the different personas they've occupied.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Because they become stars, right? Yeah. Totally. Some of them. Yeah, but they become, they become like moguls and you know what's interesting about the show is it touches on the idea of like the disconnect the disconnect the disconnect the disconnect the disconnect disconnect disconnect disconnect disconnect disconnect disconnect the disconnect disconnect the disconnect disconnect the disconnect, the disconnect, the disconnect, the disconnect, the disconnect, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the about the show is, it touches on the idea of like the disconnect between like the old fame people and new fame, which is happening in real life. There's a lot of people like on TV who are like, oh, those internet kids. And the kids are like, I make $5 million in d'lion. The older characters on our show are only 28 and 30, which is not old.
Starting point is 00:20:05 But then compared to a 13-year-old who's like, I'm a billionaire out of nowhere, you feel like you're 100. So that was sort of, that was interesting to us, to that you can feel very old and washed up, even if that's not true. Right. You know what I liked about the show is like, the story of how you guys put this thapapapapap, th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, th, thin, thin, th, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, thi, thi.. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi put this thing together, because the two of you wrote together on S&L, right? And you wrote many of the sketches that people love, and obviously the ones Donald Trump hates as well. You were actually the first openly gay headwriter of S&L. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yes. You're saying it like, I just outed you or something. It eyes was like, whoa, was I not supposed to tell people that? I'm sorry. My wife is backstage. But what I, what I, no, yes, yes. What I find fun about this story is. True man's panic.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Is you have this character in the show and it is like writing authentically for a game. It's not like stereotypical. It's as funny as he would be. It's as funny as the story would be. Was that something that you enjoyed doing? Like do you infuse yourself into the character or just your experiences? Yeah. We talked a lot about that in the writers' room because we had a lot of gay and queer writers in the writer's room. Basically, the premise is that these older two siblings aren't going to seem like
Starting point is 00:21:26 they're just jealous of their little brother. But we more like that it really stirred up shit for them and so they have to deal with, the the real grounded things even though it's a comedy. Yes. And Carrie, the main character, the main character dealing with, and being, being, being, being, being, being, being, and, and, and, and, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, thi, thi, the, the, the, their, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they're, they they're, they're, they they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they're, thi, thi, thi...... they're their, their, their, their, their, their, their., their., their., their. their their thea. thea. the when he maybe isn't because of his little brother was the need to us. So yeah, yeah. I also like how this is a story that focuses less on how somebody changes or how their life changes because of fame and more about how their fame affects everybody in their lives, which is an interesting angle that you don't really get to see much because people forget, like people famous, but then people around you are a a th...., like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th... And, th. And, th.. And, th.. And, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm thi. And, I'm that fame. Totally. I mean, we set out to write a family show, like at its core, those are the stories we wanted
Starting point is 00:22:08 to tell, and the fame is kind of just the catalyst for, like, Chris was saying all the stuff that they deal with. But we think, the premise definitely makes it feel like it could just be only, but that's just kind of like the umbrella we like to play with to put this family up against. Why did you make the show so nice? No, no, no, because this is something I genuinely enjoyed. I won't like, I thought, oh, this is going to be like one of those cynical shows where like the older siblings are shitting on're jealous of his fame but not him in a way. You know they they go we still love you but it's just weird that you became famous before us. They're also actors they're also trying to become famous.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Like why did you choose to create it in that way it's not a cynical show? We did talk about that because we thought that would have been the maybe easier way or the way you would expect and so we like like that that that that that that that they they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like. loved their little brother and they were jealous of him but they're also worried about him and they're terrified of what the industry is going to do to him so we like that the kid isn't the villain but the like entertainment industry the machine around him is sort of the villain right I don't know and in some ways it's tougher to be lapped by someone you loved. Yeah if you can write them off and you can write them off off and you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I the the the the the their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toy. toy. toy is is toy. toy is te. te. te. te. te. te. try. te. te. try. te. like, well, they were an asshole to me, so I don't really care.
