Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central Now from New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news. This He's the Daily Show with your host Leslie June. Who whatcome to the Day Show? I'm leaving Johns Now. We got so much stuff to talk about tonight. But first I would like to give a shout out to Trevor North. One of the things that moved me so much in his last show, he said, if you want to truly learn about America, to talk to black women. Well,

guess who's coming. We got a great show for you. Morris Chestnut is here, all right, So let's get into headlines. Yeah, okay, you guys remember that for the past six months, we've been roasting the ship out of Donald Trump for keeping classified documents at his house. And I have to agree, what kind of moron, I mean, what kind of irresponsible piece of ship would keep classified documents at his house? I mean, he's got to be the only dumbass that

would do something so stupid. Breaking news from the White House, more classified documents were found in President Biden's Delaware Hall. Just roll to Dan Take this morning. President Biden is facing growing calls for transparency from Republicans and even some Democrats amid the Special Council's investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left the Obama administration, pressure is mounting.

After this weekend, the White House Counsel's Office said additional pages of classified documents were discovered inside the president's Delaware home. It comes after about a dozen initially discovered at Mr Biden's private office, including at least one document marked top secret. That followed by two batches discovered in Delaware, including inside his garage classified material next year corvette. What were you thinking, by the way, my corvention the lack parage. Okay, so

it's not like a shipping on the street. Look, this is a national security emergency. Okay. A man that's old with access to a corvette. Ah. I don't know what's more scary, Biden losing the nuclear codes or Biden going five on the highway. Biden, please do not drive that car back. No, ask can't even ride a bike. Let me tell you something. He probably loves talking about this scandal because it gives him a chance to talk about his corvette. Hey, everybody, I've got stolen documents next to

my sweet Corvette. Google grieves like and then you're burning enough breathe like that green light. Man. And I know this is a big scandal, but honestly, I think these documents was pretty saved at Biden's house because it's hard to find anything in the old man's garage. Grandpa, where's the documents? It's by the leaf blower. You have sex leaf blood. But can I just say this for a minute, I am so disappointed in you, Joe Biden, because this is the Trump scandal. You copy still in documents. You

could have been black balls deep and pouring stars. You're dumb. But that's a bigger problem here because first there was Trump nas Biden. What I need to know is who is in charge of these documents? Who is the bitch who is freely given out classified documents? This pass you? What's up y'all? Are you doing? Man? You wanta get some documents? Check this out? Though. I just came back from lunch and I smoked the biggest cliss I have ever roll, So I'm real high right now. So it's

your lucky day. I'm gonna hook you up with all the documents you need right now. You know what just take what you want. But wait, wait, I'm gonna need to get you to sign. Hold on, let me get something for you to just sign. You know what, I remember you I don't remember. I trust you. I trust But you gotta be cool, son, You gotta be cool with these documents. Okay, where you're gonna hire them? Were you in the corvette? You gotta corvette. Take whatever you need.

You are a g Oh my god. Okay, but let's move on. Let me show you what's going on in Boston. Okay. So a monument meant to honor the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr. And his wife, Coreta Scott King's legacy. They're saying some backlash. It's called the Embrace. The statute

was Unbail Friday at the Boston Common. It was inspired by a photograph of the couple hugging after Dr King won the Nobel Peace Prize back in nineteen So look at the hands and the picture, and then look at that the RP teachers a couple's arms during the embrace and not their heads, which has sparked in mixed reaction. Has anyone in here ever been Now I'm serious, I'm serious. Has anyone in here ever participated in the munch and munch munch because they celebrating you right now, celebrate you

and boss and right now. Lord listen, listen. I know Dr King went down in history, but this is not how you shay. And let me tell you something. Even though I'm about to go straight hard on this statue, I gotta talk to the white people for a second. Yeah, white people, you don't need to be saying shit about this statue. You understand black hands only. You need to sit your ass in the back of the bus for this one. Okay, you need to honor this statue. This

is our civil rights icon. Going down on his wife, you show some down. Okay, Black people, what the we're gonna do? We gotta talk about this. We gotta talk about this because you know, it's messed up where black people and the proud boy hate the same statue. But I don't know, I don't know, you know, I mean, we I guess, you know, maybe we'll end up liking it. You know what I'm saying, We might end up liking it. Did you know that people hated the Eiffel Tower when

it first went up? You know, the French people was like it ruins the thing lane Julia Morti move move. That is the worst impression of a French person ever done in the history. What about Christ the Redeemer? I bet you When they first put it up, everybody was like, Jesus is going, what's up? Why y'all kill me? But now everybody love it. So maybe it's just a matter of time. Maybe it's just a matter of time. In time, we will see the statue for what it truly is.

Martin Luther King going down on this life. I can't it is what it is. You know what. I can't talk about this about myself. I need another black woman on us on my side, y'all give it up, a dude, safe bro, bro, I mean it's I mean what you think about this statue? Listen, now, I know that you thought it looked like he's going down. He's going down

on Corinna. From the angle that you saw. From the angle that I saw, it looks like it looks like hands created a big penis, you know, like a like a bronze deal though that got left out in the sun, right, because no matter which way you look at it, it's a different erotic act, right, It's like a sexual rub excue like every time you spit it like you just gotta take the stickers off and moving around because you've never solved one. None of us have solved work ever lies.

But I'm not surprised they never get Martin statue. Right, you saw that monument they put him in, d Say, look at the statue. I mean, what the hell is this? The man literally marched for freedom and his statue don't have no legs. You know why people like them on Lisa because I can see the bitch and she's giving fierce, she's giving unbothered, she's giving legacy and my pretty who care if I'm famous? That's the money side. Now, say what you will about them, goofy as conservatives, But they

know how to make a statue. It's a white dude on a horse. It's always a white dude on a horse. There's no confused. That's what confuses. So listen, that's what the liberals need to do. Make a statue of m ok in his suit on a horse. Uh yes, but but did m Okay have a horse? I don't know, and neither do y'all. So put him on a horse, put him on the throne. Hell, put him in Joe Biden's corvette. All right, at least we would know who it was, because you know what, ms leslie, Yes, baby,

I also have a dream. M hm. I have a dream of an MLK statue with feet with a torso and legs and arms in the right place, a statue that doesn't look like a sex act because right now it looks like a pence out a luia. And if you want that to be a penis in five, you can give him a penis. The great Martin Luther King had a penis, so they say, but don't make that

great man's the penis. Give him a good Christian penis and put it where a penis is supposed to do, because I know a couple of places where a penis is a positive god lest man. And I'll tell you I enjoyed every time everything. What what? What? What? Okay? Okay, okay, okay, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. You're back to him email K, bring it back to email. Care okay, okay, back there in Okay, And I gotta be careful. I got a dressed on this new proniture.

We y'all give it up a goof fight. Where are we talking about? Where are we going? What you get on your mount okay game? So go go along day as we met you before. Our MLK Day was yesterday, and everybody celebrates it in their own way, and a lot of those ways are wrong. So I went around New York yesterday to find out how people were celebrating.

So check it out. Since The Daily Show finally hired a black host, we can properly celebrate Martin Luther King Day by asking New Yorkers how they celebrate his legacy. Shut up, don't interrupt me on Martin Luther King Day. That ain't cool. So let's do this. Do y'all know what today is? We're lost? We're lost day. Do you know what day it is? Today? What you do today? Well, today we just woke cross, checked out of our hotel, hotail, we're going to go get coffee and we're gonna walk around.

So which one of those celebrates Martin Luther King Day? Well, none of none of what we've talked about. We don't do what SEPs for Martin. So this ain't reparations. But this is enough. That's right. Give me one hand once. Yeah, we're doing to celebrate, came to New York, came to New York. That's it. That's all. You're gonna do some shows, it's some food, it's some shovin. All right, I'm gonna come back to y'all on June teeth, and y'all better

have done better. Don't you like when he, like you know, refused to move to the back of the bus. I remember Shippi through the the World news and he didn't refuse. That was worth a parks that name famous MLK quote? Have a dream? I have a dream a dream? And what did he say after that? I'm not sure name a famous MLK quote? Besides I have a dream. Besides, um, you one million dollars and you can tell me something else that Martin Luther King said. He told the children

he loved them. So maybe you do not know? Can we google it? No? I have a dream that one day, that's all I got. I have a dream that one day white people will actually know what's in that damn speech. Okay, just ain't five black people, Murphy, that's all the black person you left with offensive lockout. Everybody know him, just making up names? Now, So how you celebrate Martin Luther King Um, I'm not too sure. So that's what he died for. Man, for you just to be out here

just not doing nothing on this day. No, I'm just kidding you. You can do whatever you want. Man. We're gonna go see the Lion King, Okay, And I mean that's the coaches. You can get the freedom and liberty will go about and do what we want to do. That's our celebration. That's that's a call from a black woman right there. That's why she earned.

out late. I mean my outing for the day is going to the gym. That's kind of like my social activity. I go to the gym and go home. Wow, here a good man save. So when you started doing this movie, the series Best Man series, how many people ask you to be the best man? I mean, how many bad part have you? No? No, I judging by what what I did that the Tacks character in the first movie. I don't get too many invites to to to be a to be. No, no, I don't get too many. Listen.

I mean, you know a lot of people, they do enjoy the movie. They do have a lot of questions and they always say to me sometimes but you know, I want to make sure my best man didn't sleep with my girls and all that type of stuff. But yeah, okay, so you get a lot of that, a lot of that. Now, um, the story is about, you know, navigating several friendships and a lot of drama and stuff. Now, do you have a lot of drama in your actual life? I don't, Actually, I don't. I have listened, so I have. I do

have a close knit friend group. I have, you know, friends that have been friends with since you know, second grade, and you know a lot of friends I've been friends with a long time. Only dramas when it comes to sports, and you know, when my team loses, I gotta hear a lot of mess. But luckily, I'm an ego fan in the Eagle fans in the house. So we're doing all right this year. So I've been delivering a lot of I've been delivering a lot of dramas of some

people on my and my friend group. Morris is about the giants here, okayaing, Wow, Okay, you're right, You're right. Hey, it's gonna be a good game. Though, it's gonna it's gonna be a good game. We're gonna my anduleces to you guys, jolly though, my condoleces to you. Giants. Giants eat egos, that's what's happening. Okay, Hey, I'm I'm gonna get on social media after the game. That change for baby. No, No, I can't. I learned never talks mack. For the comedians,

I didn't. I'm a long time ago. I did a movie with Bill Bellamy and Dil Hughley, and I just when I did that movie, I realized to never say anything because I know you can't because comedians, you guys are so perceptive and you guys see everything, you hear everything. So I will not talk back to you. Okay, not at all. It's okay, Morrish, you can talk Tom now. The one thing I appreciate about the franchise is how they have black men being friends and being real. Um,

how do you think how important it is? Do you think the portrayal of friendships and relationships between black men is is portrayed on TV. I think I think it was very important for it for our movie, um, just for the because listen, there's this life that happens, there's drama that happens, and you know, your friends with somebody long enough, there's bound to be some type of disagreements

and arguments and all that type of that type of situation. However, with our film, it shows that we can overcome that. It's like, no matter what your differences are, no matter what type of um arguments or disagreements you get into as a brotherhood, you can still come together and be there for your brother. So I think that's one of the things that that's helped this this series you know, prevailed throughout the years. Yeah, you know, I think, yes, definitely.

One of my favorite one of my favorite scenes is when he's going through the divorce and you guys came over and just started setting at the table like we're about to play cards, food a lot of doubt play is That just made my heart. But I'm gonna tell you my favorite part the way you dealt with your son, Oh yes, it was. It was so good every everything. Because every time you would pray, I would be like, you have the wrong prayers, bro, you got the wrong prayer.

He was like, make God change and make God change it. But when you finally said, God changed change me right, thank you, thank you, you get thank you, thank you. That was that That storyline was was was tough for me because it was so new, the pronouns and there's something that really hasn't been explored too much, especially in the black community. And um and I was like, I was, I was on the fence because I was like, they don't really know why my character feels the way that

he feels. To me, people can come to their own conclusion. So it was it was a tough storyline for me. Eric was a great actor that played my son and and the way that it was written was was so beautiful. So thank you for thank you for enjoying that beautiful And I have to give you recognition. You got your Hall of Fame walkers. I think I'm saying that right, Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yes, yes, thank you, thank you,
