Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Min Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:34 January 16th, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Dirty Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it. Take a seat, let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah, our guest tonight, stars in one of the funniest shows ever created.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Curbure enthusiasm coming back for its 10th season on HBO. Susie Asman is joining us, everybody! Also, on tonight's show, Rudy Giuliani's buddy has turned into a snitch. Michael Costa and Roywood Jr. decided if O'Dell Beckham Jr. is going to jail, and the Pope says, let's talk about sex, baby. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick things off with a major story causing a storm in the Vatican. For the past seven years, Pope Francis has been shaking up the Catholic Church as we know it.
Starting point is 00:01:52 But now the old Pope has stepped in saying, enough is enough. Controversy is swirling at the Vatican as two pop, one retired and one raining appear at odds and now former Pope Benedict is weighing in. On shelves this morning, the much-anticipated and already wildly controversial new book from the depths of our hearts. The book, which is written in part by Pope Benedict the 16th, defends the church's practice of celibacy among priests. But it comes at the same time, Benedict's successor, Pope Francis is considering whether some
Starting point is 00:02:22 older married men could be ordained in very remote areas like the Amazon. Benedict argued for the necessity of celibacy, writing, serving the Lord requires the total gift of a man. Oh, I see what's happening here. The new Pope wants to change the rules so priests can have sex, but the old Pope wants the rules to stay the same. And I get that. I mean, if I had been forced to be a version, to be a a a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a version, to be a to be a to bea, to beaux, to bea, to bea, to bea, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the rule, the old pope wants the rules to stay the same, and I get that. I mean, if I had been forced to be a version for 92 years, I would also be out there like, guys, come on, those are the rules. We agreed.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But I'm sorry, old pope, you don't make the rules anymore because you quit. Yeah, you can't just come back and try and change things up. It would be like, coming back to visit the the the tha, come back the the tha, come back, the tha, tho, tho, the tho, the tho, tho, tho, the tho, the tho, tho, tho, the tho, tho, tho, tho, throwne, the thrown, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thro, throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. and thooooooooooooooooooo. the, th coming back to visit a house that you sold like, oh, interesting curtain choice. You sure you want to put the couch there? And it'll be like, how did you get in here? I took a spare key. I will say what's really strange about this is that both of these men supposedly talk directly to God, right? That's the whole one of them. Yeah? You know, like one priest is going up to God like, wait, are we not supposed to have sex?
Starting point is 00:03:28 And God's like, no, no, I'm just messing with the other dudes. I'm just like, look how horny he's getting. But either way, at some point, these two are always going to clash, because they're different people. Francis and Benedict are thiiiiiiiia. are very different popes. I mean, just watch, just watch how Pope Benedict reacted, right, when shirtless acrobatic dancers performed for him way back in 2010. You see that face? Look at that face! It's like Emperor Palpatine was at a Chippendale show. This is the real dark side.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Now, look at that face. It's like Emperor Palpatine was at a Chippendale show. This is the real dark side. Now, check out the new Pope. Now this guy f-p- Now this guy f'ecks. Now this guy f'ecks. All right, let's move on to Boeing. Boeing, the aerospace company responsible for half the planes in the sky, and half the planes that are not in the sky.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Now for months, the company has insisted that they did everything they could to ensure the safety of their planes. But thanks to some leaked emails, that excuse is crashing to the ground. We are getting a look at some shocking internal emails from Boeing suggesting employees knew about problems with the 737 Max before two deadly crashes. Boeing has now released more than 100 pages of emails as part of FAA and congressional investigations. In 2017, just as the planes were taking to the skies worldwide, a Boeing employee sent
Starting point is 00:05:20 this message to a colleague. This airplane is designed by clowns, who in turn are supervised by monkeys. One test pilot wrote, I'll be shocked if the FAA approves this turd. Wow. I don't know if Boeing has good engineers, but they do have some pretty good joke writers. Yeah, we should hire them for the next Comedy Central Roast.
Starting point is 00:05:42 They'll be like, Seth Rogan is here, the only thing that's that's that's that's that's th.. th. th. th. th. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, thi, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, th, this, this, th, this, th, this, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, this, thi, thi, this, this, this, thi, this, this, thi, this is, thi.. this is, thi. I, thi. I'll, thi. I'll, this is thi. I'll this is this is this, this, this, this, this for the next Comedy Central Roast. They'll be like, Seth Rogan is here, the only thing that smokes more than a Boeing engine. And just by the way, by the way, why are Boeing employees trying to drag clowns and monkeys into this? First of all, clowns are good at what they do, all right? It's not their fault that your plane sucks. In fact, airplane makers could use a clown on the design team. Have you seen how many people they can fit in their cars? Imagine what they could do with the overhead bins. Imagine! And you know what really pisses me off about these revelations? Is remember how when one of the planes went down, Boeing tried to blame the Ethiopian pilots?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Remember that? Yeah? The plane went down, they were like, where was the crash, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, 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. th. th. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th to th th th th th th th th th th th th? Well, there's your problem right there. Yeah, they made it seem like the African plane crashed because the co-pilot was a chicken. You know, and yeah, sometimes the co-pilot is a chicken in Africa, but that's not why they crashed. The chicken knows what it's doing. It's always sitting there telling the passengers, buckle up no, please. Please don't encourage me.
Starting point is 00:06:49 And finally, some exciting news from the music world. Spotify, the popular music streaming service is now offering playlists for lonely dogs. The company launched several playlists created, especially for pets aimed at soothing them while they're left home alone. There's also a new podcast called My Dog's Favorite Podcast, which is intended to provide comfort through reassuring human voices, relaxing music and ambient sounds. A podcast and a music streaming service for dogs? No, no guys.
Starting point is 00:07:21 No, let dogs be dogs. All right. I don't want to be at the park, like, come here, boy, come here, come here, come, let dogs be dogs. All right? I don't want to be at the park, like, come here, come here, come here, and then the dog is just like, oh, I'm sorry, what? But at least they're doing it the right way. Because if you are going to play music for dogs, you do need to have a specific playlist. You don't want to play the wrong song.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Can you imagine if a dog the dog the dog the dog they're they're tha to be like, where my dog's at? And be like, I'm right here, I'm right here, I'm right here. I'm right here. Oh, we're going to the parks like, oh, oh, oh, there's another dog. This is so cool. This is a bad idea for everyone, especially musicians. You don't think about the musicians. Imagine. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi's thi's thi. I'm thi. I'm thi's th. I'm right th. I'm right th. I'm right th. I'm right thi. I'm right thi. I'm thi. I'm their thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm right. I'm right. I'm right thee. I'm right thee. I'm right the. I'm right the. I'm right the. I'm right thi. I'm the. I like, damn, I'm blowing up all of a sudden. So you go on a big tour and you get on stage and that's when you find out all your fans or dogs, huh? That's gonna break your heart. You're gonna be trying to be cool signing autographs, huh? You want to hook up with groupies, but you can't, it's just dogs. So now you're just they're backstage. All right, let me get the peanut butter. All right, that's it for the headlines.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Let's move on to our top story. And impeachment. It's like canceling your Uber but for a president. And even with the Senate trial now just days away, things are still heating up. So let's catch up on the big developments in another installment of the magical wonderful road to impeachment. So, the magical, wonderful, the wonderful road is to begin next week. And as with any impeachment trial, the Senate will serve as the jury.
Starting point is 00:09:00 So, Trump's impeachment trial is set to begin next week. And as with any impeachment trial, the Senate will serve as the jury. So this afternoon, all the senators were sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. And then they signed their names one by one in what's known as the oath book. Yeah, it was a really solemn moment, and also the first time ever that anyone's ever asked for Ted Cruz's autograph.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Now, the one big question hanging over this trial has been, will Republican senances allow new witnesses to testify? Well, apparently, some of those witnesses aren't waiting to find out. They're just showing up on TV, right? And the conversation everyone's talking about right now is Rachel Maddow's interview with Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani and a man with seven different hairstyles all at once. Now, Parnas is important because unlike some previous witnesses who only heard about what was going on, he claims that he was working closely with Rudy Giuliani to get dirt on the Biden's. So if those other people smelled the Borsch, he actually made it. And now he's telling all of America how thi thi thi thi thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th the th th the th th thi thi thi the the the the th the th th th the the. the. And th and th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and a th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th. And th. And th th th th the the. And the. And the the the the the of the of the of the of the an the an thean. theananan. theanananananananananan. theananananan. theananan. theanan. And thean. And thean. And thean on the Biden's. So if those other people smelled the borsh, he actually made it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And now he's telling all of America how it went down. President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all my movements. I wouldn't do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani or the president. Are you saying specifically, and I want to sort of drill down on that, that the president was aware that you and Mr. Giuliani were working on this effort in Ukraine to basically try to hurt Joe Biden's political career. He knew about that.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, well it was all about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden. It was never about corruption. It was never strictly about the burrisma, which included Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. Damn, those are some pretty big thi thi thi thi that thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th Biden and Joe Biden. Damn, those are some pretty big accusations. Because you understand, Lev Panos is saying that President Trump knew about everything that was going on in Ukraine and that none of it was really about fighting corruption. That's a big deal coming from Rudy Giuliani's right-hand man. This would be like if Luigi went on Rachel Maddow like Mario doesn't care about the princess. He just allowed to murder
Starting point is 00:11:10 the turtles. He wants to kill all of them. He's a very sicker man. It will be huge. Now, now the White House, the White House has responded to this interview saying that Parnas is a liar. They say he's only saying this because he's been indicted for campaigned the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign the campaign to campaign to campaign the campaign to campaign the White House, the White House has responded to this interview saying that Parnas is a liar. They say he's only saying this because he's been indicted for campaign finance fraud and so now he's trying to get a lighter sentence like a Ukrainian Takashi 69. And Trump has gone one step further saying that he doesn't even know what a Lev Parnass is much less that he gave him instructions to get dirt on Joe Biden. To which Parnas is now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now the the the the 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 to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the. the the the the the the. the the the. the the. the the. the it did happen. The President of the United States said, he didn't know you. I don't know those gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Now it's possible I have a picture with him because I have a picture with everybody. I don't know them. I welcome him to say that even more. Every time he says that, I'll show him another picture. He's lying. Oh, oh, okay, Parnas. Okay, Parnas. Okay, Parnas. You know the game is real when someone is threatening to open their camera roll. You know when your friend does that?
Starting point is 00:12:13 I was like, oh, do you want me to airdrop these to you? Because I'll airdrop them to everyone. We both know what happened at that Sandals resort. I hope when Parnas does release the pictures, they just get steadily more incriminating, you know? It'll be fun if at first they just had a party together, you know, then the next picture they're riding together on Space Mountain. Then eventually, like, all pictures will just end up with nudes, you know, that's where it's going to go.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah, and Trump will be like, that doesn't mean anything. news with everyone. So many news. So this is the latest twist in the Ukraine impeachment scandal. Giuliani's former BFF Lev Parner says everyone in Trump world was involved. The president, Mike Pence, and even Attorney General Bill Barr. So many people are involved that they're going to have to take a party bus to the trial. Yeah, although Mike Pence doesn't do alcohol so he'll just be sipping on seltzer, you know? Just be like, oh, this water is so spicy. And to make matters worse, to make matters worse. Today, a nonpartisan government agency declared that Trump withholding military aid from Ukraine was illegal. The thing he actually did is saying it was illegal.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Not maybe illegal, not illegal-ish, illegal. And I mean, that's black and white. And trust me, I'm black and white, so that's my area of expertise. I know what this is like. So that's where things stand right now. Witnesses are talking. The government itself says Trump broke the law and I can only imagine that Trump must be really, really extremely worried right now. I'm also approving new dishwashers that give you more water
Starting point is 00:13:51 so you can actually wash and rinse your dishes without having to do it ten times four five six seven eight nine ten. Your dishes are gonna be beautiful. I'm talking about dishwashers, sinks, toilets, light bulbs. We won't talk about toilets, but you know that's a... Okay. Did you ever go to the faucet? You turn on the fosit to wash your hands. You go like that, the thing flips on and whoa.
Starting point is 00:14:21 And then, dung, dug. But how about the shower? You go into a shower, and I have this beautiful head of hair, I need a lot of water. I knew it. He's terrified. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a News isn't the only thing in the news. There's also sports. So let's check in on the world of sports with another edition of I apologize for talking while you were talking. That's right, we're here to talk about sports and show America that black people and dump people can get along. Yeah, what's our sports fans? I'm Michael Costa. He's Roywood Jr. That's right, we're here to talk about sports
Starting point is 00:15:45 and show America that black people and dumb people can get along. That's right. Wait, are you saying that I'm black? Because that's awesome, man. Touch my knuckles, come on. Costa, what a crazy week for sports. LSU, yeah. the college football champs. Sunday we know who will be meeting in the Super Bowl and most importantly my pickup basketball team won the big game last night.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Roy Roy you were playing fifth graders. Roy. A win is a win. All right well let's let's let's start with the biggest news of the day. O'Dell Beckham Jr. known for making spectacular grabs made another spectacular grab. We are getting some breaking news now. More fallout from O'Dell Beckham Jr.'s championship celebration with his alma mater, LSU. So now we're learning an arrest warrant has been issued for OBJ. New reports indicate a judge signed the warrant this morning after seeing this video from inside the
Starting point is 00:16:41 Louisiana State locker room on Monday night. The video shows a security guard questioning a player on the team and behind the officer Beckham appears to slap the guards backside. You see it right there. The arrest warrant is for a charge of simple battery. Odell Beckham Jr. slapped a cop on the butt. Who goes back to college to get in trouble, okay? You're supposed to do that before you leave. That's like going back to your parents' house and then you get grounded. You're too old for that shit, man.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Okay, okay, that's one way of looking at it, but let's be fair, Costa. O'Dell parties a lot. Probably thought that was one on the ass. That's how you communicate in sports. It's like saying, good job. Good job. All right, well, you never slap my ass after one of these. I would if you did a good job. Well, look, look, look.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I would. Speaking of asses, all right? The Houston Astros won their own. The Major League bombshell, the Houston Astros severely punished tonight for cheating. The Houston Astros stole pitching signs during their historic season. MLB says the Astros used a camera in center field to decode pitching signs from opposing teams. The information was then relayed to the dugout, sometimes via text message on a smart watch, and then passed along to hitters by banging on a trash
Starting point is 00:18:05 can as heard here with the audio raised. The Astros face a record, $5 million fine and lose several top draft picks over the next two years. Hold, hold up, the Astros cheated their way to a championship and they were only fined $5 million. That's nothing for a baseball team. Five million dollars. That's like four stadium hot dogs. I mean, I mean, no, Michael, you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:30 I blame the Astro's opponent. Make your signs harder to steal. Catchers have been using the same little signs between their crotch for years. If you want to confuse your opponent, you got a mumumble wrap to your picture. I didn't. Come, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, fastball. What? Well, I, I, I didn't, I didn't, I. I didn't understand a word of that, and I'm black. All right, well, let's move on to some international sports news.
Starting point is 00:18:59 The Olympics are six months away, but they're already making headlines, Roy. This summer's Olympic Games and Tokyo will be the first to prohibit political protests by athletes. The International Olympic Committee issued guidelines forbidding athletes from any gesture of a political nature, including kneeling. Political signs and armbands are also banned, the IOC says it's trying to foster respect. This, this is the dumbest thing ever. Come on. You can't ban protests are already banned.. the the the the theeeeeeeeaaedededed. Tea the. Tets the. Tets the. Tets thed the. Tots the. Tots the. Tots are the the the the this is the dumbest thing ever. Come on. You can't ban protests. Protests are already banned. That's why they're protests. Yeah. If you let
Starting point is 00:19:31 people do it, it's not the same thing. Like if you let someone kidnap you, they're not a kidnapper. They're just your Uber driver, you know. Or in my case, Uber Black. You are not black. You're the dumb one. Dumb? Yes. Yes. You're the the the the you are the th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th.

You are the dumb one. Dumb? Yes. You're dumb. Plus banning something only makes people want to do it more. Right. If you ban something, it makes people want to do it more. It's kind of like when my mama told me I couldn't get a tattoo. So I got a trap stamp that said criss- that said criss- that tap that tha. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so I, so I, so I, so I th. So, so I th. So I th. So I th. So I thap, so I th. So I th. So I th. So I th. So I th. So I th. So I th. So I that, so I that, th.

Let me see that thing. Yeah, yeah, it's traffic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pressing charts. That's how you say you do a good job. That's how sports people communicate.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Back to you, Trevor, back to you. That's how you don't. Michael Kostler, Roywood, June, everybody. We'll be right back.

My guest tonight is a comedian and actor who stars in the hit HBO series, Kirby O Enthusiasm. Please welcome, Susie Asman. They couldn't find a clip without the word, you know? They couldn't find a clip without you saying, fuck. Yes, exactly.

Yeah, you really know how to wield it at the right moments, in the right spaces at the right times.

You know, I so appreciate that, Trevor, because people think I'm just some crazy woman, just screaming, shouting when there's a method to my madness. That definitely is. And you've done an amazing job.
Starting point is 00:21:56 It is now 10 seasons of curb. Congratulations. Thank you. I really am fascinated to know, like, when you started the show, because you've known Larry since like 1985, I think it is. Yeah, around then. Right, you went stand up together, you shared stories, your whole life. That's why, I guess, your chemistry is so good on screen. Did you ever think that the show would become the institution that it's become? Absolutely not. When we first started the show, we had no trailers. their, their, their, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, th. th, th, th, th, th, the show, we had no budget, we had no trailers, we had no, we had like porta-potties, we had no
Starting point is 00:22:29 dressing rooms. It was this slapdash kind of, it was kind of like, I got a barn, let's put on a show, kind of a show, and we never knew from year to year if we were coming back. It was just the fact that it's 20 years later, we started in 2000, 20 years later in 10 seasons is amazing. It's amazing. And it's the greatest job ever. What makes it the greatest job for you? Well for me, I show up, I'm with all my friends, you know, I tell everybody to go fuck themselves. Then they give me money and I go home.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Sounds like a great job. That sounds like an amazing job. And they love me for it. Right. You know, so, but also it's just, I mean, we have so much fun. We laugh all day long. It feels like that kind of show. And, you know, people always talk about how curb is created, how, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:19 the show is put together and you have a framework, but nobody knows how you're going to get to get to get to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, knows how you're gonna get there and there's no script. Like, do you ever get used to that? Yeah, I'm totally used to it. That's just the world now. Oh, yeah, I mean, when I have a script that feels odd to me, you know, yeah, I mean, it's improvising. We know our characters so we know, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. to, to, to, to, to, to, do, to, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to, do, do, do, do, to, do, do, 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, the, the, to, to, the, too, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, too, too, too, to, it's not this willy-nilly thing. I mean, we know exactly what has to happen in each scene. So we're just, it's like what you and I are doing right now.
Starting point is 00:23:48 We don't have a script. Yes, but I mean, but we're not trying to like get somewhere somewhere specific. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, we're trying to get to tie up, like, curb, that's what I love about Kirby Enthusums. Every episode ties, every little moment. That's Larry's brain. That's Larry's genius. But every moment ties into something. You don't know what's going to tie into the end of the story
Starting point is 00:24:11 and that becomes like an arc that takes through. And then it'll come back. that. you You you. You that just come naturally or is it who you are? I think that, you know, I think that over the years we've developed kind of a dialogue of the unconscious, if I may be deep. I think we don't, like, Larry and I have never discussed our relationship or my character ever,
Starting point is 00:24:40 and we never discussed it. We just kind of had this trust and respect, which you have to have when you're improvising. And it just developed, all of us. We have this little family, that we have this little family that we work so well together. It's really fun. It really feels like a family. It looks like a family. I mean, it's a very dysfunctional. But Yes, well. What family is not dysfunction? That's true? That's why? the f f. the family. th. the f. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. th. We, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. the. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.'s true. That's why you know I was so happy that you came to the show because originally J.B. Smooth was supposed to be on the show and then he's on a production the last O.G and then he couldn't make it he was like I was like but I want to have someone I love Kirby enthusiasm and I'm glad you came. Because he really wanted J.B. Is that what you're saying? No no no no no no I I'm saying like. 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 saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like like like like like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like like like like like like because like like because like like because like like because like because like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like like like I'm saying like like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying like I the the the the the the the the the the I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm saying like I'm saying like I'm saying.

I'm saying like because because because I'm saying like because I'm saying like because because I'm. I'm saying like. I'm saying like. I'm saying like. I'm saying like. I'm saying like. I'm saying. I'm saying like. I'mthought J.B. was coming and I didn't know how this would go. And it was, I'm not J.B. But sometimes second choice is, like, ends up being the best choice. Oh, there you go. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:25:30 No, I'm just saying, like, Will Smith was supposed to be Neo in the Matrix. Then we got Keanu Reeves and he's perfect. You my Keanu Sma everybody.

Starting point is 00:26:13 This has been a Comedy Central podcast. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look.
