Speaker 4 You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 4 There is a fun story that I want to tell you guys about that I think will lighten the mood slightly. So
Speaker 4 take a look at this. This is kind of funny.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 4 that is a Pedro Pascal look-alike contest.
Speaker 4 So, you know, they've been doing that now. You know, you had,
Speaker 4
what's his name there? Timothy Chalamet did a look at it. It was a big deal.
The Pedro Pascal thing was a big deal.
Speaker 4 It's more of a big deal, I think, here at the show because that Pedro Pascal is our lighting designer,
Speaker 6 George,
Speaker 7 George Gundes.
Speaker 4 George is George
Speaker 4 George.
Speaker 4 Come on.
Speaker 6 So you're looking at him right now and you're thinking, I want to
Speaker 6 him.
Speaker 6 That's what we're all thinking.
Speaker 4 I've never noticed that he looks like Pedro Pascal. Do we have a picture of what he looks like around the office?
Speaker 6 How did you do this?
Speaker 6 Well, it's pretty funny.
Speaker 8 Tyler Goldman, stage manager, sent out a group text on maybe Wednesday last week. Where's Tyler? There he is.
Speaker 6 What's up, Tyler?
Speaker 8 And he was like, yo, you should go win a year of free burritos.
Speaker 8
And I was like, okay. And I went home on that day and I forgot about it.
And then on Friday, I showed it to my wife. And she was like, yo,
Speaker 8 you're doing this. And my...
Speaker 8
A neighbor in my building is a stylist. She has more like still photography shoots.
And she was like, yo, I've got pants. I I got shoes.
Here's glasses. She's like, you just got to get a shirt.
Speaker 8
And I showed up on Father's Day. You were supposed to pre-signed up.
I did not sign up.
Speaker 8 I rolled up and I'm like, yo, I'm here. And they're like, you're going to win.
Speaker 8 And so.
Speaker 8 I mean,
Speaker 8 I have to say, like,
Speaker 4 this is crazy.
Speaker 6 Like, you really...
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 4 Look, are you guys around the same age?
Speaker 8 I'm going to be 43 next week. Right.
Speaker 6 So I think
Speaker 8 Pedro might be a little older than me, but yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 You're a sexier, younger Pedro Pascal.
Speaker 8 Thank you. That's awfully kind.
Speaker 6 Awfully kind.
Speaker 4 Now, you mentioned this on what... He's not been doing a ton of press.
Speaker 4 So
Speaker 4 women, as you can see, are reacting very,
Speaker 4 quite frankly, animalistically.
Speaker 4 And some of the men.
Speaker 4 What did your wife say about this? What did she say?
Speaker 8 Her position is, I'm cool with you getting all this attention. Yes.
Speaker 8 If I can meet Pedro Pascal.
Speaker 6 So,
Speaker 6 so.
Speaker 4 Could I, if I could, I know how this show works.
Speaker 6 Please.
Speaker 6 Can we give him a close look?
Speaker 8 Can I get camera three? Can I take him to get camera?
Speaker 6
Which camera are you on? There you go, right there, right there, right there. Pedro? You're right there.
I'm here, though. Oh, you're right there.
Speaker 6 I know.
Speaker 6 It's my first day. Hey, Quiggs, bring it in for a sec, Quiggs.
Speaker 4 Is that Quiggs on?
Speaker 8 Who's on three today? I don't know.
Speaker 6 Oh, okay, Quiggs. Hey, Pedro.
Speaker 8 This is Pedro number five from New York.
Speaker 8 It would be
Speaker 8 a great, great, great
Speaker 8 gift if you could meet my wife, Jenny.
Speaker 8 It would mean the world to her. We need to make this happen.
Speaker 8 Yeah.
Speaker 8 George,
Speaker 4 I don't see how Pedro number one could turn down Pedro number five.
Speaker 8 John, if I can give you a quick aside. Please.
Speaker 8 So
Speaker 8 John mentioned earlier, Is it Been Crazy? This happened like literally 24 hours ago. Right.
Speaker 8 I've been doing all kinds of press. I'm going to be on like the CBS news tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 Are you really?
Speaker 8 There's a photo shoot with the New York Post coming up this week.
Speaker 6 It's f ⁇ ing insane.
Speaker 8 So
Speaker 8
none of this bothers me. I've worked in the industry for many years.
I've been around famous people.
Speaker 6 Brilliantly talented by the show.
Speaker 8 Thank you. It's awfully kind.
Speaker 4 You should see what I look like without his lighting.
Speaker 6 It's some cripkeeper shit.
Speaker 8 But the thing that I was most,
Speaker 8 not scared of, the most uneasy about was coming here today.
Speaker 6 To the office? Can I tell you why?
Speaker 4 We're going bananas.
Speaker 9 I know, but let me tell you why.
Speaker 8 It's like a family here. Everyone here are my dear friends, like big brothers.
Speaker 8 And I knew I was going to get roasted by my my friend
Speaker 8 Here on the studio floor in particular the most savage person is camera one Phil Salanto your late Phil
Speaker 6 No way God bless you have you been ball busting quick
Speaker 6 By the way
Speaker 4 I'm gonna enter Philly Phil in a Jorge posado.
Speaker 8 So
Speaker 8
I come in the studio. I'm talking to David, the director, a couple other people on the studio floor.
Tyler's there. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Philly just walks in the back.
Speaker 8 He doesn't say hello anything.
Speaker 8 He's like, oh, look, it's the new Hoctua girl.

Speaker 5 What's your question? How is hosting on the daily show affected your daily life are you often recognized as streets here or anything Am I recognized on the street?
Speaker 6 Yeah,
Speaker 5 yeah, but I'm still okay me getting recognized is not like
Speaker 5 a Hardcore famous person recognized the way I get recognized is I will be on the train and someone will walk up and be like you do stuff, right?
Speaker 5 Which is like a description of every living person on the planet, right? And so I'll be like, yeah.
Speaker 5
And at this point, I still don't know if they know me or if I look like someone. So then I'm like, yeah.
And then they're like, I think I saw you like somewhere.
Speaker 5 And I'm like, well, there are lots of places to be. So somewhere was definitely where I was at any given point of life.
Speaker 5
And then they're like, are you like on TikTok? Like, they'll say TikTok. They'll say, they'll say whatever platform.
And when I say yes, they'll be like, I knew I saw your your thing, right?
Speaker 5 So I'm not famous in the like, oh, Josh Johnson. But sometimes I do get like a John Jansen.
Speaker 11 Look at you.
Speaker 5 You know what I mean? So yeah, yeah, I get recognized sometimes, but I always, I always also, okay, one of the most humbling experiences I had was
Speaker 5 it was after I became a correspondent, right?
Speaker 5 And I was doing a show out of town and this dude walks up and he's like, hey, man, hey, hey, I saw you on TV just last week. I was like, oh, thanks, man.
Speaker 5
And he's like, yeah, I just, I love what you do. And you clean up nice in that suit.
And I'm like, oh, thanks. Because, you know, I wear a suit for the show.
I wear a hoodie everywhere else.
Speaker 5
And so he's like, you clean up nice for that with that suit. That you killing it.
I'm like, oh, thanks, man. And he's like, yeah, man, I just love what you do.
Speaker 6 I've been going through a hard time.
Speaker 5 And so like watching you has just been really nice. I'm like, oh, thank you, man.
Speaker 5 Like that, anytime somebody tells tells me that, it like it fully centers everything that you're trying to do because you're just trying to do jokes and make people laugh.
Speaker 5 But people don't just watch this show, they don't just watch stand-up at home.
Speaker 5 They watch it in hospital rooms.
Speaker 5 They watch it when they're going through something, you know. And so he's like, Yeah, I've been going through a rough time, been watching the videos and stuff, and it just always makes me laugh.
Speaker 5
I'm like, that's really nice. I'm glad.
And he's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 5 you and Joast.
Speaker 5 And I did not have the heart to tell this man I was not Michael Chang.
Speaker 6 I was like, oh, okay, yeah, cool.
Speaker 5 You know what I mean? We do our best.
Speaker 6 All right.
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 6 John, what's who's your comedic
Speaker 6 influence and why? Oh,
Speaker 4 I'll tell you,
Speaker 4 you know, growing up, it was National Lampoon, it was Monty Python, it was Steve Martin, but really, like, the guy I locked in on was Carlin.
Speaker 4 That, that, he, he was, and I was lucky enough to get to spend time with him. I interviewed him out in Aspen, which, by the way,
Speaker 4 They did a comedy festival in Aspen. I don't know if you know this, but Aspen is like 10,000 feet above where people would live.
Speaker 4 And when you go there, you do feel like it's one of those horror movies where you can't breathe, but everybody else seems fine. And you're just like.
Speaker 4 And Carlin at that point, I don't know if you know his health history, but he'd had like five heart attacks.
Speaker 4 And so he and I are walking up in the Aspen Opera House, which they made sure didn't have an elevator.
Speaker 4
And we're just walking up step after step into the thinner and thinner air so that he can do a comedy show. And at this point, he's my age now.
He's in his 60s. He's had five heart attacks.
Speaker 4 And I just remember on like the fourth plateau or before we were going to summit,
Speaker 4 he just, he stops and he turns to me and he gives me,
Speaker 13 what the f are we doing here, man?
Speaker 4 And it was just.
Speaker 9 I have to know who Josh Johnson, the quarterback is.
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 5 Yo, can I tell you a crazy story?
Speaker 5
This is wild. Okay, so Josh Johnson, the quarterback, had a game.
I think he was playing for like the 49ers at the time or something like that. Something happened.
Speaker 5 I don't know what it was, but there was like some fumble or just like people clearly had money on the game.
Speaker 5 On Twitter, and only on Twitter, I was at Josh Johnson. I did a show at the comedy cellar.
Speaker 5 that night and then I come into work like I came here the next day and I just happened to like open my Twitter during lunch and I was getting lit up.
Speaker 5 Like people were like, people were like, ooh, you suck, you should quit. Like,
Speaker 5 I can't believe it.
Speaker 5
Like, all these horrible things that they meant to say to him, they were saying to me. And in my head, I was like, my set was fine.
Like,
Speaker 5 I didn't do anything groundbreaking, but I can't possibly be this bad.
Speaker 5 And it wasn't until another writer was like, do you see the game last night? I was like, what game? No. And he's like, there's a guy with your name that like fumbled or whatever.
Speaker 5 And I was like, oh, thank goodness like this is
Speaker 5 yeah yeah
Speaker 5 but I don't even think that was a that was a qu I I think I interrupted your question actually
Speaker 5 no I just want to know if you've been mixed up with him before oh 100% yeah
Speaker 5 yeah in one of the worst ways possible the only way it would have been worse is if I got mixed up with him with like the IRS because that man makes money yeah
Speaker 5 that guy's killing it
Speaker 13

Speaker 4 I know, that's you don't think I can spot that
Speaker 4 people who are short are like bus drivers that when we pass each other, we do these
Speaker 4 you always clock the short. Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 3 I know you got into drumming a while ago.
Speaker 8 I'm wondering if you know there's any hobby you want to get into now.
Speaker 6 Drumming.
Speaker 4 So So it's
Speaker 4 when I last left the Daily Show, it's funny you bring this up.
Speaker 4 We had our
Speaker 4 fourth gig. I'm in a band for the first time at 62.
Speaker 4 Here's the best part.
Speaker 4 I'm not the oldest person in the band.
Speaker 4 That goes to Big Jim Bova, who is 74.
Speaker 4 His son, Andy, taught me how to play. This is us at.
Speaker 4 That's us. That's...
Speaker 6 We did a gig in.
Speaker 4 I better turn the volume back because that'll go off during the show. That won't be good.
Speaker 4 We did a gig
Speaker 4 last week in Asbury Park, and
Speaker 4 it was fun as shit.
Speaker 4 And I didn't realize how much fun it was because I'd never played an instrument before. Do you play?
Speaker 4 Piano.
Speaker 4 No, you know what I realized?
Speaker 4 So I tried to learn guitar and piano. I realized I'm not a finger guy.
Speaker 4 I'm a hand guy.
Speaker 4 I'm this.
Speaker 6 I'm not this.
Speaker 4 It did not come out in the positive way that I meant it.
Speaker 6 You understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 But yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4 No, I don't want any other hobbies.
Speaker 4 I like woodworking and I like playing the drums, and they're both, I like them for the same reason. They are mind-quieting experiences.
Speaker 4
So if you have to have a relatively destructive, overactive mind, now it's, let's play along to Nirvana. And it works out beautifully.
Do you still play piano?
Speaker 4 No, no, I don't. Get out.
Speaker 4 What do you do? Percussion.
Speaker 6 I was just wondering if faith has played a role in your life at all. Okay, what else?
Speaker 4 No, not faith.
Speaker 6
Not necessarily just cultural. But faith.
No. Any kind.
Speaker 4
Yeah, no. I wish.
I wish I could get there. I can't.
And Stephen, by the way, is a faithful Catholic.
Speaker 4
But I've never been like a belief guy. I've always been this guy.
But if he's all powerful, why could children die? Like, I'm that guy. It's very f ⁇ ing annoying.
I'm not against religion.
Speaker 4 Religion has given the world a tremendous amount of comfort in a world torn apart by religion, mostly. But
Speaker 4 the important thing,
Speaker 4 I just, I'm not a believer. Like, I think that's my biggest problem is, like, I know that there's probably a gap between, like,
Speaker 4 you know,
Speaker 4
we are here by divine intervention or we're just like bathroom mold that got luckier than other bathroom mold. Like, I know I'm sure there's probably a middle ground there.
I wish I could.
Speaker 4 Did you always have it? Did you come to it? Is it something that you had to like figure out?
Speaker 3 I've always been Jewish.
Speaker 6 No, no, no, that, yeah.
Speaker 6 Sure.
Speaker 11 But no, I came to it.
Speaker 6 I had to believe.
Speaker 3 And the answer is yes.
Speaker 6 That's awesome.
Speaker 4 I wish I could get, because every time I'm like, you know what it is for me, I think it's the specificity that f ⁇ s me up.
Speaker 4 Because like if you were to say to me, like, there's a spirit in the universe and it carries the thing, but it's more like, and he was 33 years old and a carpenter and i'm like all right
Speaker 4 you know it's like the jewish religion it's a faith-based thing and like and god said kill your son and then he came out and that's why we cut off the top of your dick like it's like it's that stuff where i'm just like or they're just like god doesn't make mistakes and i'm like have you seen a scrotum like there's no way that that is like i understand
Speaker 4 the eyeball like the eyeball you think like oh shit that's amazing but the scrotum
Speaker 4
and it's the same process. And I'm just like, boss, what should we do here? And he's like, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to take all the nerve endings
Speaker 4
and we're going to tie them up in like a ball. And you're like, oh, that doesn't sound very smart, but okay.
What are we going to do with the ball? We're going to put it in like a pouch.
Speaker 4 And you're like, oh, like a nice pouch? Like you do, like with Chevis,
Speaker 4
like the dice, the velvet pouch. He's like, no, not a nice pouch.
Like a pouch with like hair and weird shit on it. And then you're like, well, all right.
Speaker 4
Well, then we're going to put it in like a sternum, like to protect it. And he's like, no, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna just hang it.
Speaker 4 We're just gonna hang it so that any asshole can walk by and go, you know, so that's
Speaker 4 you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 How much does AI impact your
Speaker 3 job? Are you afraid of it for the future?
Speaker 5 I'm not necessarily afraid of of AI in
Speaker 5 what I do as far as performance.
Speaker 5 I think it's already been very well said that like the things that people do for connection and
Speaker 5 for real experiences, AI can't replace. The other thing that happens with AI that I don't think
Speaker 5
Obviously someone could lose their job to AI, which isn't really true. Someone gave your job to AI.
Like the AI didn't come in the room with legs. You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 Like AI doesn't have legs to then walk in and be like, I think I'm better. Like that's not...
Speaker 5 AI is not pitching itself against you. Someone who wants to save the money that they think that you are wants to replace you.
Speaker 5 So I think we put it all on the AI instead of putting it on employers and companies and like a corporate mindset and everything.
Speaker 6 But
Speaker 5 when it comes to, when it comes to stand-up, people want to show up and have an experience with other people.
Speaker 5 And I think that that's something that can't be replaced by AI, at least in that sphere, right?
Speaker 5 As far as writing goes, there are definitely going to be people who would opt to, whether it's for money or for ease, because they aren't great collaborators, work with an AI and try to be better prompt writers than better collaborators and writers.
Speaker 5 That's all, I guess, well and good.
Speaker 5 We'll see how far you get with that, just because the thing that AI does to people that I don't feel like anyone talks about because it is embarrassing, having the entire world of possibility mixed up in the internet for like A and B testing and for mixing and matching everything that should be copyrighted, right?
Speaker 5 Having all of the human history that has been digitized and stolen only reveals to you how few ideas you really have. You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 When you are sitting in front of a thing that's like, this is a text-to-image
Speaker 5 AI, right? Type in anything you want, I'll give you an image of it.
Speaker 5 First five minutes, you're probably pumping out stuff that seems funny, fun, I'll show somebody this, whatever. After an hour, you're like, oh, I don't know what I would do with this.
Speaker 5 But this thing only exists because of the ideas that we have. So
Speaker 5 it's a vicious cycle that doesn't really go anywhere.
Speaker 5 And so I think that when the bubble pops, it won't be in some dramatic way where employers are like, we're hiring everybody back because we were wrong.
Speaker 5 I think it will just quietly be people realizing that it is a tool, but it is not a replacement, you know? So I don't worry about it in that way.

Speaker 2 You think we're gonna be okay? No!
Speaker 9 I hope we're gonna be okay in the grander, grander scheme of things. And along,
Speaker 9 if you look long term, we're all gonna die. So that's maybe some good news.
Speaker 9 I don't know if I'm an optimist.
Speaker 9 I will say, like,
Speaker 9 I get to talk to a lot of different people. We cover the news.
Speaker 9 You're probably feeling many of the things that I feel when you're inundated with these chaotic stories of war crimes, sex, islands, people who don't take accountability.
Speaker 9 It's a scary, strange time we are in.
Speaker 9 Where I garner a little bit of hope or where I've seen some of it recently is I'm doing this special that's coming out on Monday. And
Speaker 9 for this special, there was a lot of talk about Donald Trump wonning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 9 But what we started noticing is that he talks to Big Gang about peace, but it doesn't feel like peace here back at home in places like Chicago and Portland. And so we went to Portland,
Speaker 9 where there was protests happening outside an ICE facility because of the cruelty that was happening inside. And as a comedy show, it's hard to make comedy out of something like that.
Speaker 9 It's a dark time. But what they did was they threw a naked bike ride as a protest to what was happening inside the ICE facility.
Speaker 9 So as a comedy show, we're like, there's dongs, there's boobs, we're going to this thing.
Speaker 8 We have to do it.
Speaker 9
And so we went there and I'm like, oh, nobody's going to show up. It's rainy.
It's about 40 degrees out in Portland. I'm like, who's going to show up for a naked bike ride?
Speaker 9 Ten minutes beforehand, a couple people walk out
Speaker 9 in
Speaker 9 full Portland and
Speaker 9 I see a dong, then a second dong, then a third dong.
Speaker 9 And within like 10 minutes, suddenly there's hundreds of naked people. Hundreds turns into almost a thousand people, most of them without clothes on, cheering, supporting.
Speaker 9 And the idea behind this protest was the Donald Trump administration is trying to frame what's happening as Portland as a bunch of aggressive agitators starting shit outside an ICE facility.
Speaker 9 But there were so many people there.
Speaker 9 who were so upset by this narrative and so upset by the things that they were hearing was going on inside that facility that they decided to do the most embarrassing thing possible in the worst possible conditions and be naked to show that they have absolutely nothing to hide.
Speaker 9
And in doing that, I spent a couple hours with folks. There was joy, there was energy, because people weren't going to become apathetic about him.
In fact, they found like humor and joy in it.
Speaker 9 And what you see outside of that ICE facility is people organically using humor and joy as a way to show an image of peace and life outside of the cruelty that Donald Trump wants to show you.
Speaker 9 And is that winning right now? It's fighting right now. I think what you need, apathy is all that administration wants right now.
Speaker 9 And it's so easy to become apathetic by all of the chaos that is out there.
Speaker 9 But seeing a little bit of what was happening there in Portland about people who are like,
Speaker 9
I'm showing up. That's half the battle.
And not only are they showing up, they're like finding the joy and the humor within that. And so that gave me that nice little chunk of hope.
Speaker 6 Yeah.
